My friend and I loved this place. The breakfast sandwiches are made to order. We had croissants and they were cooked perfectly, the atmosphere is an cool ecclesiastical scene. I recommend this place for the good coffee and atmosphere.

Space themed coffee shop with a unique vibe. All dishware was handmade by a local artist, and they sell his pottery and the work of other local artists as well. Had a delicious vanilla chai.

We ordered the Stellar beans iced coffee and an iced vanilla latte and really enjoyed both. Great atmosphere and large space to work or visit with friends. Really like the Star Wars themed branding everywhere.

I was passing through Lake charles from Beaumont and I needed a quick caffeine rain. So I looked for the best coffee house in lake charles and stellar did not disappoint. Its located in downtown LC. My barista was Caitlyn and she was full of life. She recommend the snickerdoodle (?) For my latte. It was great. Had also the chocolate muffin which complemented the whole coffee experience. Atmosphere is very inviting. Service was fast. Caitlyn is very knowledgeable.Come visit Stellar.

Quaint little place we found on our way driving through town. There was a live musician on a Sunday morning and he was really good. The coffee was excellent. Much better than Starbucks. Robust and full flavored. The breakfast options were pretty good too. Not mind blowing, but they did the job of complimenting the coffee properly. One of the waitresses was short with us a couple of times, but it seemed like she was stressed and having a bad day, so didnt want to dock the star review. All in all, cool place.

Stellar Beans is a Lake Charles tradition. Not only are the coffee and treats great, they’ve made their space part of the fabric of downtown, letting a variety of groups host events aimed towards community enrichment. Shop local!

We loved our first visit here! We weren’t feeling coffee, so we got some Italian sodas with cream to go with our English muffins with eggs, bacon, and cheese. Sandwiches were scrumptious and the sodas were yummy. We also had a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese that was very good. Overall atmosphere was perfect for a small coffee shop....the live music was a cool plus too!

Review №33

An old school coffee shop, which is a positive compared to a colder modern style place. They have house brews of coffee and tea, fresh muffins and similar pastries. The walls feature diverse local art and live music is hosted on a scheduled basis. Good spot!

Review №34

This place is great; however, the service lacks speed. I was done with my pastry by the time our coffee came out 12 minutes later. We waited in line for 15 minutes with only 6 ppl ahead of us. Zero sense of urgency.

The girls at this coffee shop are the best; very friendly and helpful. This shop is vegan friendly and their coffee is really good. They have a lot of tables and it is very comfortable; one of those places you will go to seat down for a while, maybe to do some homework or just to seat down and relax. You will be parking in the street, they don’t have their own parking. Was this helpful?

Laid back coffee shop. Decent breakfast. Mine was minus the vegetables I ordered, but they were quick to fix me a whole other bowl. I would go back

Always excellent service and plenty of options. They serve breakfast and lunch as well. This is a wonderful place to hang out with friends, read, play board games, or just relax on your own. Theres art on the walls from local artists and frequent live music, poetry, etc. Its where art and coffee collide!

Review №48

This is a great place to hangout. It has good drinks, decent food, and fun activities. Plus they have chess boards. But my favorite thing about Stellar Beans is that they have gluten free muffins (I think they may be Vegan, but not 100% sure) and will substitute dairy milk for almond milk!

Review №49

Coffee wasnt bad, probably the best coffee option for a Sunday morning in Lake Charles. However the bitter smell of burnt oil from the beignet fryer permeates the place. We were hoping to eat breakfast here but rather got our coffees to go.To owner: thank you for your response. Please consider upgrading your kitchen exhaust system.

Review №52

My favorite coffee shop in the area. The owners and staff are friendly, the coffee and tea are tasty and have reasonable options, the food is simple with some healthy options, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Try the beignets and music in the mornings on Saturday. Local artists are on the walls. It truly is a place that supports the local community and helps build it up.

Every time I go, I see the a very intimate environment where everyone knows your name and your usual drink. The sandwiches are always tasty. Ask for one to be made with love, as they are the best. The coffee is strong and good. Expect to be awake at the end of a good cup. It is the place to get coffee. Skip Starbucks and enjoy one of Downtowns best kept secrets.

Warning ️: The beignets DOESN’T taste like the original beignets at Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans Louisiana. The beignets at Stellar Beans Coffee were dry, hard and no flavor.However, the coffee was delicious. I will give this coffee shop a 5 star ️️️️️ for the coffee.

Went here for the first time just recently. The vibe is legit. Lovely artwork and lots of books and novelties on the shelves. It smells like coffee mixed with an antique store. I ordered a wet cappuccino and a chocolate muffin and both were great.

Review №73

Good coffee shop. Theyre knowledgeable about the coffee they sell and can make great espresso drinks. Much better to support your local coffee shop than to keep visiting the same old chain everywhere you go. Especially when the coffee is much tastier here than at you know where.

Review №80

Stellar is a nice little shop if youre looking for a comfortable place enjoy great coffee, tea, soup and sandwiches. The baristas are genuinely nice and the place doesnt have a corporate chain feel about it. Along with the normal chairs and tables of a coffee shop, there are coffee tables and couches as well as live acoustic musicians, poetry readings, art, comedy and live play performances. Its like sitting in your living room with friends, but more entertaining.

This is one of our favorite places to meet with other folks in our film-making community. We held our monthly meetings there and I always enjoyed the coffee. I have only eaten a few dished there, but each has been good. There is a great collection of games to play. There are sometimes DVDs or CDs to trade. I even saw a family doing their Christmas presents one day. Good location downtown and cool vibe. Oh, and local art on the walls for you to enjoy and even purchase if you really like it.

Coffee House HangoutA great find passing through Lake Charles. Inviting and cozy with couches and upholstered chairs in addition to tables. Local artwork the length of the brick wall, pottery on the shelves, books and games. Good selection of coffee beverages, teas and smoothies. Breakfast and lunch sandwiches, salads. A great place to hang out for a while before hitting the road again.

Review №91

The atmosphere was warm, comfortable, and the staff were friendly. If youre looking for an okay coffee that you can enjoy with friends, Stellar does do a good job. If youre looking for artisanal, hand-crafted coffee, however, the offerings are disappointing. Specifically, the pour overs are not well done if done at all.

Review №97

I quite enjoyed myself. I asked what was good and the barista gave her honest opinion. I have to agree with her that the Snickerdoodle signature beverage is top notch. I was also fond of the unconventional furniture. They had cool tables and chairs, dont misunderstand, but they added wicker furnishings that really rounded out the place. I would have to say this place made it onto my list of places to show someone from out of town or even recomend to some locals who havent been yet.

Stellar Beans Coffeehouse and Cafe is the complete coffehouse experience! The facilities are immaculate and cozy. You can easily curle up on the couch with your favorite book and any drink or eat you can imagine. The staff is friendly and accommodating to your every need. You will also be treated by works of local artists of all types. Come experience the excellence provided by this amazing local business!
