la Gabriella Coffeeshop & Pastries

Absolutely in love with this little coffee shop! It's always an amazing experience when I stop by! Everyone is so friendly, and service is always fast, even at their busiest times. They have so many different coffee options, and their pasties are exquisite. Please stop by if you're in the area!

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 it's 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!

Get the Fernandos favorite. Its a sweet blend of goodness. Great little coffee shop across from Texas A&M campus.

This is truly the best tasting coffee in College Station! It's a quaint little place and the coffee never fails me! Whether it be hot or iced, it is always creamy and delicious. It is never too sweet, and I never feel the espresso is over-powering or burnt tasting like at other places, but the coffee flavor is still there and its delicious. Everything blends together. Nothing else compares I could come here everyday. Their Chai is a hand-mix tea, they do Matcha the traditional way, and their hot chocolate is made from real Mayan chocolate!! Their pastries are just as good! A wide variety of unique things, that are all made fresh everyday from scratch!! It feels relatively healthy because the owners believe in healthy food that tastes and makes you feel good! Some of the pastries are traditional pastries from Guatemala and they are sooo good! If you want good tasting things and a great experience stop in!!

I am highly disappointed in the way the owner had handled a poor situation due to a mistake of an employee. My sister had been looking forward to getting us these sweet pastries from this bakery and raved about how delicious they are. My entire family was looking forward to it this Thanksgiving. Regardless, the bakery made a mistake and gave her the wrong order. She went back in to let the man at the register know (he happened to be the owner) and instead of trying to remedy the situation he scolded her. He said he couldn’t do anything about the situation and proceeded to approach the problem and her with anger. Not only did this make her feel uncomfortable but he made her feel as if she was at fault for the mishap.

I can assure you she would call in almost every day to see if they had made any of their Sweet Mayan Cream Cheese pastries that day. She would often be told they don’t make them everyday so she was really excited to have placed an order for Thanksgiving for all of us to finally try. So after their employee made the mistake of placing an order for a dozen pastries without the cream cheese, my sister went in to let them know of the mistake. Instead of being helped or even had apologized for the mishap the owner treated her so distasteful. Now, my family and I won’t look forward to ever enjoying a pastry from this establishment. Terrible ownership.

Why bother spending money on a place where something sweet turns sour?

Great locally owned coffee shop!! I had an iced latte and a panini, and both were delicious. Great location close to campus. They're open for dine-in, but they don't have many tables, so don't plan on camping out there for too long.

La Gabriella exceeded expectations!!! I have been in CStat for 4 years, and am HEARTBROKEN that I'm 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 boyfriend's, 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!!

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, it's out of the world !!

I've 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!
