Stella's Bakery

I love finding local, hidden gems when traveling (staying at Lake Livingston SP) and Stella’s has exceeded every single expectation. I went in hoping for coffee and maybe a good pastry, but finding a French patisserie in East Texas was not on my bingo card. Everything I purchased was absolutely incredible and the staff is so kind and helpful. If we lived nearby, I would be here every single day. Stella’s has moved the state park to the top of my recurring visit list, so so that we can come back to try more. The quiche Lorraine is legitimately the best I have ever had and the chai tea latte is in my top 2 of all time. So good!! I can’t wait to go back!!

A French bakery in Livingston? Yes! They use imported French flour and have a French pastry chef on staff. Great place for brunch. I always try to stop while traveling through. The pastries are beautiful and delicious. Picked up some to share with family.

Driving along US190 we saw Stella’s in all her glory. We stopped for a quick snack. The front is clean with plenty of parking. Inside was clean and inviting. Open seating and bright colors draws you to want to sit down and just enjoy the room. The display cases highlight the goodies they offer. Plenty of pastries to satisfy most desires. Teas and coffees available in different sizes and flavors. They also have sandwiches and salads to enjoy. We sat on the covered patio because we finally had a great wether day. The pastries were brought to us at the table and they even warmed them up for us. Stella’s is such an unexpected delight and we took pastries to go but will be back for other goodies.

Happen upon this little gem with visiting Livingston. Adorable Bakery and Deli. Order the special of day Club Sandwich and a cup of tomato soup. Let’s say I definitely had takeaway box because it was plentiful and delicious. Saved room for dessert, ordered a pistachio pastry and cinnamon latte. My goodness the pastries are decadent, flaky, airy, and oh so yummy. The latte was by far the best I ever had! Quality food and exceptional service.

Stella’s never disappoints us. The staff is professionally trained in France and they use the best ingredients in their pastries. There was a lot of thought put into the building as well. It’s light and airy with beautiful black and white floors. This is absolutely a gem in Livingston. Bon appétit!
