Went to Stella cafe this morning for breakfast tried their chef special chicken sandwich. OMG that was delicious lettuce tomato with some bacon and baked chicken on nicely toasted ciabbata was yumm. Tick all the boxes compliment to the chef. Will visit again for that.

After spending sometime travelling the South Island one of our last stops was in hokitika. We came across Stella after walking round town, and it was clearly the busier cafe. We were welcomed with a cheery hello and was helped through the menu. The 6...of us had a mixture of menu and cabinet food. I had the salmon bagel which was delicious…. So nice to not have cold smoked salmon but lovely hot fresh cooked! The meals were very prompt and everything came together which was nice. After our travels it’s obvious covid is taking its toll on these little towns so I’m making an effort to leave positive reviews on most of the places I’ve been…. If I had to think of a negative for this place it would be that there was only one toilet and clearly everyone wanted to use it when I did.More

Always a good sign when a place is busy. We had breakfast mid Saturday morning and the place was humming. But the service was still amazing! Best granola I have ever had with fruit, yoghurt and a yummy runny sauce on the side Unfortunately I...don’t live in Hokitika so I can’t be here every day!! Keep up the good work!More

Walked in, observed staff were not wearing masks, as required by the covid rules, and walked out again. So can't rate the food.

I’ve had food here before and it was delicious but today I went and it was absolutely horrible spent $20 on eggs bene which was over cooked eggs on what I think was mash potatoe ??? Bacon wasn’t very nice either definitely disappointed in what...I spent vs what I got, I expected eggs on bread or somthing but the eggs yolks were to hard and to vinegary.More

Overwhelmed by the selection of amazing dishes on offer here. Definitely value for money. The beverage list was comprehensive and complimentary to the food items. I don't normally order soup, but really felt like it and so glad I did. Very tasty. Thank you for...a great lunchMore

Great place, good food, I had a burger which had the best tasting onion chutney this side of the equator. Pretty good coffee, mine was a bit too milky but great place. Toilet was lovely to destroy, luckily everyone was wearing a mask as my...deed would gag a maggot!More
