Welcome to Jack & Stella, your happy place in the heart of Bala. We’re where good food, great finds, and even better company come together. What started as a beloved seasonal stop has grown into a true destination, and for the first time in our five years, we’re excited to say we’re now open all year round (yes, even in the quieter months!).
Our space is designed to feel easygoing, welcoming, and full of charm. The kind of place you stop in “just for a coffee” and end up staying awhile. Whether you’re docking the boat for an afternoon visit, meeting friends for one of our events, or just popping in for a road trip bite, Jack & Stella is where moments turn into memories. We promise you'll leave with a smile, and most likely a treat, a gift, or something you didn’t know you needed!
Our little corner of Bala is home to four neighbouring storefronts: Jack & Stella, Stella’s Closet, Georgie’s Shack, and The Balacade. Each full of personality and thoughtfully curated with local treasures, home décor, stylish apparel, and sweet treats that are hard to resist.
We're more than a café, we're a destination. Our team is genuinely passionate about offering an experience that the whole family can enjoy. Jack & Stella is all about good vibes, friendly faces, and making memories. Stop by, stay awhile, and come back often. We can’t wait to see you!
