My close friend that lives in town lost her father last week and I live out of state. I wanted to send her and her family some sweets from some place that felt genuine. I searched through at least 50 bakeries in the Rochester area and I couldn't find one that looked more authentic than Vanilla Lane. Im assuming it was the owner who got back to me so promptly. She was kind, understanding, and helped me put an order together of her most popular items. She even delivered it to my friend's house free of charge since they live close by. The delivery was just received and my friend messaged to say that they started indulging immediately, and cookies were the best they've ever had. Perfect comfort food after a hard week. Thank you again, Vanilla Lane.

We came here as an anniversary date to do the Fall Chef's Table (cooking) class for October and it…read morewas definitely a very unique and interactive date experience to do. The ambience and gardens outside were also wonderful and wish we came a bit earlier to enjoy the lake views. Check-in is easy and classroom is right when you come in. The stations were well laid out with everything you needed. Our Chef Eli was very entertaining and we learnt some new knife cutting skills. The menu for us was German Oktoberfest themed with pork schnitzel, homemade spaetzle, and a harvest sauté vegetables. We throughly enjoyed the experience and class also came with 2 drinks and the meal you cooked together to enjoy. It was nice to support this wonderful 501c3 organization but do think the tickets are quite pricey for what you get.

My 7-year-old son just participated in the kids 7-12 age group cooking class. He had an absolute…read moreblast and learned so much. I loved that he came home and shared all the details on meal prep. He also brought home some delicious leftovers, which his brother and sister enjoyed trying. It was a great way for him to celebrate the end of the school year. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for opportunities to expose your child to trying favorite foods in new ways. Side note: The kids classes might seem pricey, but honestly, they are priced just right. After thinking about it, a two hour drop-off class with plenty of food and skills to be shared, $45 is very reasonable. The cost does vary depending on the food theme (cost of supplies).

Our close friends had their birthday party their last night. The cooking class style dinner was run…read moreby the owner Marietta. She is not only a terrific cook but a sweetheart. She had a cheese , fruit and meat platter set out for appetizers. There were 9 of us so we were divided into one group of 4 and the other group of five. She demonstrated how to use a knife, how to mince garlic , how to make a tomato sauce, how to make a oil sauce and how to make ravioli dough. One group made a cheese,herb and garlic filling. The other group made a mushroom and prosciutto filling. She demonstrated how to use the Kitchen Aide pasta attachment. Next we we filled the ravioli and used the pasta cutter to make ravioli. She cooked them and she had a catering line to serve the pasta with a salad. They were delicious. Cute building on the Main Street of East Aurora. Nicely decorated inside. You definitely should try this place for catering or an event!!!

Had a terribly disappointing experience there. Found the perfect coffee table on display with a…read morenote on it that said something to the affect of "not available purchased 10/25/25" Well...it's now March 2026! and it is still on display! So in my mind, if it's still on display, it should be available after 6 mos of no pickup. Went to the desk and was told the person who "bought" the table moved out of state and I was assured they were coming to get it..... As a business owner myself, why would you risk disappointing a customer like that? If the item sold, take it off the floor, or put a SOLD sticker on it with no date. Then, to add insult to injury, you tell me the buyer is out of state and you are not even sure if they are coming to get the table but you won't sell it to me. How about we call the table buyer right now because I have cash in hand today to buy it? How about you don't say to me "Wow I know it's tough when you get your heart set on something." That's NOT helping, sir. What could have been a great ending has turned into a YELP review, and not a good one. Come on Liberty Hollow, do better!

Just make sure when you're going here but you have a lot of time to look around. The place is…read morebigger on the inside than you think it is. It's one of those places where a lot of different people have little shops to purchase things from. Some things are newer and handmade, but there are a lot of old antique kinds of things, too. I've never been totally taken aback by a price so everything is mostly reasonable. Though, you can get the odd person who thinks that all their stuff is brand new or worth full price. I would say this is a great place to spend an hour or two looking around when you're not in a hurry.
