Iced Coffee: $3.25
Burrito: $4.45

Stella's has a LOT of seating options!  There is a nice outdoor patio area in front, and another on the side.  Inside there is a room with a couch and tables, more tables, and another room that doesn't have music playing and seemed like it stays quiet.  There were a lot of people working.  The couch is quite comfortable.  There are also bookshelves!  You can read books and also purchase if you would like.  There was a little corner with a tiny table for kids as well.  This place has pretty much any kind of atmosphere you would like.

I got a cold brew coffee - wanted a chunk of caffeine early in the morning.  They called their cold brew an iced toddy.  I thought an iced toddy involved other things, but perhaps it is iced coffee made with a Toddy coffee maker (I gathered this possibility after googling).  It was pretty good cold brew.  No strong opinions, but I liked it.  I drank a bit black, then added almond milk and sugar.

I was there a while so I also got a burrito for lunch.  They didn't have anything vegan out, but I went ahead and asked to check - and they produced a vegan burrito.  So that was cool.  It was from Trader Joe's and pretty good.  It had a number of ingredients (as in, not boring or just beans and rice), like quinoa.

Almost-empty cold brew and burrito

They have a small parking lot with about three slots for 30 minute parking, but there is free 2hr street parking outside and unlimited street parking on adjacent blocks (it varies a lot from street to street, but there was some behind the shop and one block south).

The wi-fi was decent, but it seemed like they have to frequently reset it.  They have three networks so sometimes you have to bounce around.  It was occasionally out and sometimes slow, but useable without a whole lot of annoyance.
