Stella Southern Café

If you’re keen on homemade and a fan of Southern breakfasts, this place has you covered. Stella (unaffiliated with Bryan’s Stella Hotel) is not a hotbed of healthy eating, but neither was your grandmother’s kitchen. Expect such comforting items as made-from-scratch buttermilk biscuits, stone-ground grits, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and even homemade mimosa jam. (There are more-lunchy items too, like a burger with jalapeño pimento cheese). The decor adds to the charm, with hanging Mason jar lights and Southern sayings on the walls, while managing to stop short of corniness.
