We were just traveling through the area (visiting from Palm Springs California) and found Stella’s Cafe! We love having breakfast out and this was perfect in every way! We had the bacon, eggs, toast and pancakes. All of it was delicious! The owners were super friendly and very kind! Made you feel like family! God bless and Thank you! (From your aunts look-a-like ) Perfect location for a beautiful river walk after you eat! Enjoy!

Great little family owned place in Plymouth. Older place, but it was very clean and the food was delicious. The owners, Kay and Mark, were very polite. I would highly recommend stopping in and checking them out. The French toast was delicious!

Stellas is a great place and gives you that home town feeling . The food was awesome. Perfect eggs, thick bacon,toast and jam. The cinnamon bun feeds 4 and is to die for. We got to eat at the police department table. We were amazed by this place . A unique experience ! Thanks Stella.

Ate breakfast with my 97 year old father-in-law. He had pancakes and crisp delicious bacon while I had the eggs grits and more of the delicious bacon. Seems like new owners since January and they really know how make you feel welcome. My father-in-law is a Marine and came in to a bunch of retired Marines eating breakfast too. You have to try it if you’re in the area.

Situated in a former jewelry store, it was a charming small town sandwich shop. It is more an experience of simplicity done well. The proprietor was friendly and put new comers at ease. Prices were a big relief from city and suburban establishments.
