Stella Coffee & Tea
1135 W Governor St, Springfield, IL
Crema's Take
“Stella Coffee & Tea is a genuinely welcoming neighborhood spot where you'll find carefully crafted pour-overs and espresso drinks in a cozy, lived-in space that feels more like a friend's home than a commercial cafe. The owners clearly care about both their craft and their guests, often surprising visitors with live music on weekend mornings and creating the kind of atmosphere where you actually want to linger with a book or friends. At under $9 for quality coffee and a pastry, it's the rare specialty coffee shop that manages to feel both serious about the beans and refreshingly unpretentious about the whole experience.”

I love this place! It is so welcoming and cozy-feeling, and it looks like there are outdoor tables for warmer weather. The coffees and teas are all high quality. I had a delicious pour-over, after discussing what I might like best with the owner. And the pastries were sooo good! I tried both the buttercake and the cinnamon roll. Plus, it’s in the lovely historic west neighborhood, on a brick street. I will be stopping by whenever I am in town!
Was pleasantly surprised to walk into live music on a Saturday morning. Very cute and homey. A very friendly atmosphere and staff.
Was looking for coffee shops in Springfield and found this place. I got a 16oz Hazelnut coffee and a breakfast thing(I forgot what he called it) regardless it tastes very good. Both for under $9 which is a very low price compared to competition but it's so worth it and it's definitely not cheap materials. most snacks are made in house. Definitely best small coffee shop in town 100% Would definitely recommend to anyone. Didn't get any pictures of menu but they have pictures of specialties and they can make any of their coffee iced or hot. If you sit down to chat with a friend they have 1 dollar refills for drinks.they also have tea but I personally don't drink tea
Find this coffee house. You won't be disappointed. If you are looking for a real coffee house where you can sit and decompress ..Or sit with friends and talk about the best things im life. Or the worst. Stella's is all the vibes. Wonderful coffee and fresh pastry. I'm really sad I found Stella's at the end of my trip. But now I know where I'll be when I come back to Springfield . Oh and did I mention. Good coffee 😄☕
We were just driving by and happened to see this place and wanted to look inside. Walking into this place was like stepping into the most cozy, comfortable, calming spot. The owners were so sweet and helpful and welcomed us in. We all sipped tea while working on a word search in a book that was on the table. I also tried a lemon pastry, and it was great. We'll definitely be back when we're in the neighborhood!
