As a local wedding planner, I’ve had the opportunity to work with countless large-scale and boutique bakeries — even some world-renowned pastry chefs — but I can honestly say I have never been more in shock and awe of a cake design than I was after working with Stella’s Modern Pantry.
The level of artistry and detail in their work is simply unmatched. One of our recent brides provided Albert with a photo of the back of her cascading wedding gown, and he brought that vision to life in a way that was beyond anything we could have imagined. The final result was not only breathtakingly beautiful, but also incredibly personal and meaningful.
It was, without a doubt, one of the most stunning wedding cakes I have ever seen — a true masterpiece that left guests speechless. I cannot recommend Stella’s Modern Pantry enough for any couple looking to elevate their wedding day with a show-stopping (and delicious!) centerpiece.

Absolutely fantastic first-time experience. I went with my best friend today and she recommended this place. She has been before and told me I would love it. She was completely on point with that statement.
Had the Spanish egg breakfast. Eggs cooked perfectly in cast iron skillet with pieces of chorizo. Has a side salad(awesome house dressing), some heirloom tomatoes dressed and the crispy bread. I used the butter and preservatives on some of the bread, and the egg on the rest. Taste, and texture with great presentation all flawless. Had a few mimosas, love the original of course, strawberry is good and the blackberry is my jam. The bubbly to fruit ratio is just how I like it. The essence of fruit!
Dessert was a hard option. I needed something with chocolate so the chocolate mousse cake was happening. Freaking delicious. We were also suggested this pistachio bar. It reminded me of a pecan pie with gooey filling, had shaved almonds… no regrets it was toe curling yum.
So yeah, already have plans to go back with several from my work crew. After sending pictures and talking about it we’ve made plans!
If you haven’t been here. Fix that situation and get inside of Stella’s.

Where to start… amazing food, ambiance, and service! If you haven’t checked out Stella’s for breakfast, you’re undoubtedly missing out. Try the smoked salmon egg Benedict and the Spanish eggs, they are amazing. Ask for the Jamaican style coffee to go with it or a mimosa! They also have some nice cheese and cold cuts. This is an experience!

Got the skinny on this place by finding out (My Corn-free board) that they sell Maine Root soda here from their rep Ed (from Bay Distributors.) What a wonderful place. It’s chocked FULL of finds…home/kitchen items & cheeses, wines, pastries, salads ‘n sandwiches. And charcuterie…all different kinds…we had an amazing lunch while watching the locals get ready for a parade event. Thank you, Albert & George!
