Super cute coffee shop! I love the inside decor and the music. Coffee and pastries were delicious. I also love the batman theme! I will definitely be coming back here!!!
Great locally owned coffee shop!! I had an iced latte and a panini, and both were delicious. Great location close to campus. Theyre open for dine-in, but they dont have many tables, so dont plan on camping out there for too long.
La Gabriella exceeded expectations!!! I have been in CStat for 4 years, and am HEARTBROKEN that Im just now trying this place. The coffee is so unique and tasty; I got the baklava latte and my boyfriend got the Mayan Royal. Both of these drinks had incredible flavors, especially my boyfriends, which was spicy!!? The pastries used fresh ingredients, with the lemon blueberry loaf having actual blueberries instead of dried. The Mayan chocolate bread was a fantastic consistency and had just enough chocolate. I highly recommend this small, locally-owned shop, which is filled with Guatemalan pride and love!!
The bread was so delicious! I am definitely going back for more sweet bread and coffee. It is a very nice place, staff is very friendly, and the food is delicious.
Delightful and delicious! Savvy service, Captivating coffee creations, sweet or savory perfect pastries…Fresh & friendly!
Quaint little shop very charming, friendly staff and great coffee
Amazing experience! The cafe is so quaint and friendly. The staff is welcoming, accommodating, and over-all very sweet. There is a limit of 5 customers at a time but there are tables outside to sit and enjoy your drink and food. Speaking of which, the food is phenomenal! The sandwiches are always warm, tasty, and made to order! The coffee choices are endless and you can customize most drinks like adding a flavor pump or substituting your milk. Also, the staff wears masks at all times (from what I can tell) and they encourage social distancing. The only downsides are that 1; the wait is a bit long and 2; there are no public bathrooms. However, please take these downsides with a grain of salt and understanding because there is a global pandemic right now and know that every item is made to order. In conclusion, this cafe is very comfortable, warm, and welcoming. I encourage you to visit because its so lovely and the food and drinks are so tasty!
Absolutely amazing little coffee shop, hands-down one of my favorite places in BCS! Coffee is great, prices are great, and the pastries are divine! They also sell little handmade beaded hummingbirds and other cool handmade items, my new hummingbird looks great hanging from my car mirror. :)Ambience is really nice, and they have a wall set up for pictures. If you want a guaranteed shot at a pastry get there before 11am or you may not get one!
The coffee from here is amazing. Huge fan of the Baklava Latte. I will be coming back.
My brother and I visited on a Saturday morning, grabbed two pastries and two coffees. Both coffees were an espresso based drink, one iced latte and one iced americano. Im not an expert in any way in coffee, just a regular guy, making coffee at home. No experience in tasting, or making. But I can tell the difference between light vs dark, Ethiopian vs Columbian, etc.Coffee:The espresso was a lighter roast than the usual variety you find at Starbucks or some other shops. I dont know if this is the usual beans they use, but the coffee had some sour notes up front with a darker notes at the end.I wanted lactose free milk, but they didnt have that option. They had the usual soy, whole, skim, oat, and etc. Lactose free is cow milk, except the lactose has been taken out. Not a big deal since my lactose intolerance isnt too severe, I ended up getting the whole milk with my latte. Since the roast is light for the espresso, the sour notes still come through in the latte. Not my favorite for a latte, but favorite for many others out there.Pastries:We tried two pastries: Apple and Cream Cheese pie, and Chocolate Mayan. The puff pastry is flaky and buttery on the pie, and the chocolate Mayan was a delightfully dense bread/roll with layers of chocolate. I only had a bite, so I couldnt quite tell if the chocolate was Nutella or a something of their own creation. Perfect combination with a cup of coffee, but likely better paired with a non-sweet coffee.Final Verdict: I would bring my own coffee since the beans werent exactly to my liking, but thats not a negative in any way. Coffee can be very personal. The two pastries we tried were very good, and we would love to come back and grab some occasionally.
This place is small and quaint, they have some unique drinks I havent seen anywhere else like a turmeric latte and they serve matcha. So theres lots of different choices depending on whether or not you like coffee or not. Service was great, will come back.
Quality coffee, would recommend Bruce Wayne (doble espresso cortado). Had the cinnamon roll and french apple pastry, both were good, just baked in the morning. Will be coming back :)
Some of the best chai in town. Super cute, cozy vibe inside and the staff is always helpful when you get lost in the pastry case!
Great place wonderful atmosphere and delicious drinks.
I love la Gabriellas. I like that their pastries are not overly sweet. And the staff are friendly.
Great cookies / pastries you can only get here in town ❤️ its such a charming café ✨
The staff, coffee, and food are all wonderful! I have never had a bad experience there. They have so many options for coffee! They use good quality ingredients.
The cookies and cream frappé is great :)
Beautiful revamping of the space completely changed the feel!Always delicious coffees & pastries but now you can see the great variety of gifts & delightfully travel experience!We may not be traveling out of this country but I sure felt like it while shopping at la Gabrella!Best & freshest edibles in town!
Dont know where to start. I ordered an Americano, which was $2 MORE ($3.95) than the online menu pic I saw, but Ive made myself a better coffee at Stripes. Tasted almost as good as McDonalds coffee. Which is fair at best. Everything else on the menu was at least $1 more than the menu pics here so plan for deeper pockets!
The coffee I got was really weak... it was very milky and I thought this place was going to have strong coffee. Oh well
Very friendly, yummy fresh pastries and the turmeric latte was just right
Great coffee and friendly people. The store is lovely and unique. Would recommend you to visit if you are in the area.
Do they hire? Please someone tell me I will like to work there as part- time?
Recommended by the guy at Military Depot next door and this is my new spot for coffee in town. Great coffee!
Had a cortado there. It was very well made. I would recommend trying it out. It seems they gave a very large menu.
Coffee is great, people friendly and there are always baked goods to choose from
Definitely my favorite Coffee shop in the town. Best Avocado toast is I ever had. One of the coolest and interesting people working in that shop. Cafe Mocha and their double shot Cappuccino is a must. They usually changes their bakery section, which makes it interesting. Never miss their Apple cream pastry, its out of the world !!
I cannot stress this enough. Go and get a coffee, pastry, panini or kolache from La Gabriellas. I work at the vape shop next door and they are what gets me through the day. They are so friendly and will even deliver it to me a few doors over when I am busy. 6/5 stars, they are the best, go support local businesses!
La Gabriella? More like La FAB-riella. You should first know that their drinks/pastries/service is way better than my jokes. They have both familiar baked selections and some very unique (and tasty!) items as well. Their drinks are also very good. One must note that if youre looking for the super-syrupy-sweet sort of drink, this might not be ideal for you. For me, however, its delightful and refreshing. The staff is SO fun and kind, and really make going there all the better. The crowds I see each time I go is just a testament to their quality. Their baked goods arent great for vegans, but their drinks are. Vegetarians should get by just fine, though. Cannot speak to other dietary restrictions. However, theyre so good- definitely worth a shot!
Most underrated coffee shop in the area. Everyone loves to talk about other places but Gabriella keeps up with all the best of them while keeping a humble vibe. I dig the Royal Mayan Mocha, and their pastries are delicious too. 10/10 highly recommend.
LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH!!!!!! The girl that served my friend and I, she was the sweetest and super passionate about coffee. Ask her about the whole spiel, she enjoys it. The pastries are cheap and super good!! I will DEFINITELY be back!!! One of my top favorites!!
Phenomenal coffee and friendly service!If you like coffee you’ll love this place.Convenient location next to Military Depot across the main entrance of campus.
The only real bakery in town! The pastries are exceptional. The coffee is great. This is a cute niche of a coffee shop, with the owners passions completely evident in the atmosphere and quality of the food. 10/10 would recommend! Its THE bakery location in college station.
This little jewel of a Coffeeshop/Bakery is my favorite place like this in the Bryan/College Station area. I have been going here for awhile and plan on sitting at one the tables out front with an iced coffee soon. I love their scones and they other artsy things inside.I feel comfortable inside because they have taken covid19 precautions. The staff is very polite and did I mention they make the best scones? Lol Today I bought 3 blueberry scones and a beautiful multi color humming bird to hand from mirror in my car. If you have never been here, please check them out. This is independent buisness and we should support them in anyway we can. Peace, TonyK
Ive been going to this little shop for years and I love it. The staff are second to none in regards to genuine service, and their coffee is amazing. For such a small shop, they have a huge variety of options. Try the Royal Mayan Mocha or the Honey Nut Latte, both my favorites. Their sweet bread is amazing as well. I also find myself looking at their decor a lot! There are a lot of comic book decorations, particularly Batman stuff, and I love it! Check it out if you are looking for a local place with great coffee instead of Starbucks!
The staff, the food and the coffee are all amazing. The shop itself is small, but very very open and well lit. It is upbeat and had loads of character. Id recommend it.
So far best coffee in town. Good Cortado, coffee has good aroma and flavor.
Great location for tasty Cafe food. I wish there were more places like this around town. Nothing but pleasant experiences here. Food is similar to a place in San Francisco I loved.
A wonderful eclectic treasure of a pastry shop. A very relaxing atmosphere, very cozy with personal decorative touches that reflect the owners. Ive never had a pastry or bread that I didnt like. Any menu choice is a safe bet.
UPDATE: Just visited again, after about 3 years. Same amazing service. In fact, there was very little Guatemalan self serve coffee left so the friendly young lady behind the counter pulled out a drip cone and made fresh coffee right into my cup! Who even does that these days!! SO IMPRESSED! (Former review: They serve authentic Guatemalan fare from a Guatemalan owner. Their service is superb and I was elated to find this coffee shop!)
Have you been searching for a place in town that has good coffee AND pastries? Stop Looking! It’s here! It’s La Gabriella!
Delicious, unique, and cute ♡
I cannot speak highly enough of this coffee shop! The coffee is by far the best in town, and the pastries are absolutely delicious. And on top of that, the baristas are the bomb! They are all so friendly and create a warm, welcoming environment. I will always recommend this place!
Delicious pastries and coffee-based drinks! I’ve got an iced Royal Mayan Mocha. It was not that sweet but perfect. Spinach and ricotta bread was fresh and yummy.
This place is so good, their coffee is excellent. They baked goods are legit Guatemalan pastries and are very tasty. Plus theres no wifi so you dont get students camping out here for hours, so you can actually sit down and enjoy a good cup of coffee.
My go to coffee shop amazing coffee and better baked goods. Bread is soft and sweet but not over the top. My go to is their cinnamon rolls. Inside is extremely different (Nerdy with a Guatemalan twist) its a nice change of pace from other coffee shops.
Excellent service, the pastries are delicious, the coffee is fantastic, and they have many different options, non of which are overly sweet. They actually focus on coffee, instead of just putting liquid sugar in a cup. Great place to go on a breakfast date. There is limited seating, but you can just sit outside or take it to-go
I have only been once but the coffee was excellent. Im looking forward to making time to go again.
Great coffe drinks and oeople...pastries are addictive...fair warning
By far one of my favorite places in College Station. They have a large selection of freshly baked goods and a large variety of coffee drinks (cold or hot). Gabriella and her husband open ed this restaurant a couple of years back and I have loved to see their business grow. What a great couple! Please come and support a local business. TPS: They use uber eats
Quaint coffee shop with fast, friendly service. The cappuccino and tea biscuit cookie were excellent.
Went here for the first time today. Great espresso and bakery items. Love the atmosphere as well. Good service!
Fernando is the man. Awesome coffees, and hes a stellar baker. Love everything here. Also has a really fun collection of video games, game consoles, and comic books.
Loved it!!! Authenic, comfortable, affordable, cant say enough about it. The teas are wonderful the pastries are addicting and the service is genuine. I go there at least once a week.
The coffee here is pretty decent and they have some really good turnovers. There isnt much available seating here though, so expect to get your stuff to go. I was pretty disappointed that they didnt sell actual loaves of bread here.
Great drinks, food, and atmosphere. Staff was very helpful while I was staring at their impressive menu. Looking forward to coming here again.
Amazing coffee shop. Ive been a resident of the Brazos county and no other coffee satisfies my mornings more than Gabriellas coffee shop. Who care about how big the place is. Im here for the coffee, and the shop delivers.
No, coffee for the price is mediocre it taste like drip foldgers coffee with cute cups and ice. Had a vanilla latte iced and friends had moche hot latte and lemonade. None was decent. The bread is good and atmosphere is super cute and place is the size of an apartment living room
I live up north near Dallas but come down to College Station semi-often to visit family, who dont drink coffee or even have a coffeemaker. Im a coffee drinker, and My Daily Bread coffeehouse and bakery (now called La Gabriellas Coffeeshop and Pastries) is my favorite place to get coffee in the morning in College Station. They make beautiful latte art as well. My husband doesnt drink coffee but likes to eat their pastries and look at the retro video game collections and figures while we wait for my coffee. The coffee baristas are friendly and work quickly and efficiently. The prices are good and the quality of the coffee is delicious. I highly recommend this place!
The ultimate little coffee shop with everything you need (smiles included) to start your day.
I love their coffee, its got a very rich flavor. The coffee shop is clean and chique and the workers are friendly
Excellent coffee and hot chocolate- tasty Guatemalan pastries- delicious break from oversweet American options
Good coffee and delicious pastries, my favorite spot in town. Friendly baristas too. Must try the guava cream pastry, spinach pockets, and Fernandos delight.
My favorite coffee shop in BCS! The coffee and pastries are fantastic. Fernando and Brian are very friendly. I recommend this place to all of my friends. :)
While revisiting College Station after almost an year, I was pleasantly surprised that this cosy, little coffeeshop had thrived, albeit rebranded and revamped. They have added to their arsenal of hot and cold specialty drinks and even more delightfully to their bakery items. The Mayan bread is beyond delicious, and just the perfect amount of sweet to accompany a hot Latte or a flavorful Mocha!
This is my favorite coffee shop in College Station. The service is unmatched (the baristas are SO cool and sweet), theres a large variety of coffee, and I have yet to find a pastry I didnt absolutely love!
I really enjoy the place. Its quirky and fun.
I love everything here, especially the people!
Excellent pastries. Highly recommend. Check out the Nintendo collection while you are there.
Great food and bakery. Three admins are a little low, but you wont be dissappointed in the food.
The pastries are phenomenal and the drinks are great. I live the ambience of this place!
La Gabriella Coffeeshop & Pastries makes fresh, handmade goodies along with handcrafted specialty espresso drinks and Guatemalan Bread.
The workers are always so kind and they have the best coffee in town!
Awesome little bakery and coffee shop, has all kinds of pastries and central American breads plus an assortment of old video games
Best coffee in town and their pastries are simply amazing. This shop should be on everyones radar.
Outstanding place for quality cafe food. A preferred evening place. Will surely make a return trip.
Food was delicious great place to talk and have a good conversation
Like their kolaches a lot. The owner is very nice.
Please go here. Great hidden coffee gem in College Station.
Good food, great customer service... Highly recommended..
Nice place to visit and enjoy a good cup of coffee. Great service!
Nice quaint little place. Coffee and pastries were fantastic.
I’ve tried most of the coffees and haven’t found a single one I’ve disliked. My favorite place to get coffee in college station hands down.
Nice coffee shop. Good pastries.
Not a big coffee shop person, but Im thinking about becoming a regular. Coffees awesome and the staff is very friendly and helpful to someone who only knows Folgers.
Excellent coffee! Great variety of pastries!!
Very nice service, and good tea, just whole idea of it being a bakery is a lie. Its just a coffee shop like Starbucks
Very nice ppl that work here, good coffee & bakery
