LONG VALLEY, NJ — From stacks of golden pancakes to bottomless mimosas, brunch is serious business in New Jersey—and one Hackettstown eatery is topping the list of the best.
Best Of NJ recently updated their "Best Brunch Spots In New Jersey" for 2025, and on the list is Stella G's.
"This family-friendly café in the center of Hackettstown is small in size, but large in charm," Best Of NJ writes. "The expansive menu selection features favorites such as eggs Benedict, avocado toast, and omelets."
Located at 186 Main Street in Hackettstown, Stella G's is a beloved restaurant and bakery offering classic breakfast and lunch dishes, along with fresh baked goods featuring a Swiss-American flair.
The restaurant, which opened in 2007, was founded by husband-and-wife team Bruno and Maureen Gubelmann. While Stella G's serves all the classic breakfast and brunch staples, its unique offerings are what truly set it apart.

Menu highlights include Baked Bread Pudding French Toast served with seasonal compote, as well as other sweet options like Banana Raisin Oatmeal Pancakes and homemade granola with yogurt.
For those who prefer savory fare, there's a hearty Breakfast Skillet Casserole and a Breakfast Burger—featuring a Black Angus patty, fried egg, lettuce, tomato, and American cheese, all layered between two crispy potato pancakes. Other brunch shareables that lean more toward lunch include Crab meat Poppers served with sweet chili sauce and Sage Polenta Fries.
Stella G's also offers a fresh selection of scones, turnovers, and rotating dessert specials, so be sure to ask your server about the treat of the day, officials said.
Weekends come with an extra treat at Stella G’s, where servers occasionally break into lively renditions of Broadway tunes, according to Best Of NJ.
Stella G's is open Wednesday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., offering takeout, outdoor dining (weather permitting), and indoor seating.
