The green house, set aback from the Old South Pearl neighborhood, warmly invites you to come explore as participants soaking up Denver's sunny days on the watch tower deck casually glance up from their books or board games and try not to divulge the secrets that lay inside. Opening the door, the dragon espresso machine with it's slayer greets you along side a long hallway which leads into a lattice of rooms and corridors, nooks and crannies, chambers and round tables. The unkept shelves of books. The cave-like breeze gently tossing the maidens' hair as they discuss last night's hockey game.
Old wizards talk into their mochas and secretly eye the sleeping couches for an afternoon snooze.
Stella's, the house converted into a coffeshop, is a maze of secrets, comfort and coffee. Located on 1476 South Pearl and established nine years ago by owners Stanley Geels and Stella Shinn, is starting to be recognized as a landmark in the Old South Pearl neighborhood. Stan says that he was seeking refuge, this was his Mecca, his way of giving back to the public. A place to go out. Stella's offers a nice getaway from the Downtown rush and noise that is ever present.
