I stopped in because I was in the area for another business in the plaza. They have some good looking deserts in the display case. I was expecting more cupcakes and cakes based off the name and the previous business that was in that location, but it was more bakalava and turkish delight type pastries. I tried a slice of cheesecake. It was okay, nothing too fancy or to rave about. I am glad I stopped by though. It satisfied my curiosity. read more

Loved everything I tried from here! My absolute favorite was the Biscoff milk cake though, it was phenomenal. The guy that boxed my order was so helpful and explained all the things to me. I'd like to try more of their desserts for sure. read more

So delicious!! I love these baklava! Everything is so fresh! They make everything from dough to filling to syrup

Food was good, however, the young girl kept rolling her eyes and expressing her annoyance through her body language. There was only 1 person ahead of me and she was helping them, when it was my turn I asked her if they sell the baklava by pieces instead of buying only 1 type by the pound. She rolled her eyes ignored my question and she called for the male worker in the back which he helped me and was very nice about it and explained that it was by the pound one type which was fine. I figured it was a language barrier with the girl so I didn't mind till while I was being helped she started helping another customer who walked in and was speaking English and still rolling her eyes and acting annoyed. So with the exception of the girl it was a pleasant experience. read more

Needed a cake fast, called it in and he said he would hold a cake for me vanilla. I came in and what a great little find in Hilliard. Very nice man behind the counter, the owner I assume. Three-layer cake, made with a touch of strawberry in the middle, whip cream topping. Oh... everyone devoured the cake!! He saved the day, birthday I meant. Will be back for sure. read more

Ok - the feast begins when you walk in the door - a feast for the eyes. These are the most gorgeous sweets and pastries ever! Can they possibly be as good as they look? The ready to go cakes are especially lovely! We tried pieces of cakes (Nutella/chocolate, Black Forest, chocolate, and Bischoff. Great. We tried 3 kinds of baclava. Perfect, especially the Turkish variety. The young Turkish man working the counter said he'd learned the craft from family and done it all his life. This place is sweet in more ways than one. Future special event and family dinner desserts will come from them. Go!! read more

So many delicious pastries that are locally made! Came in for a tray of baklava. Most of it was pistachio flavored. But it was still very delicious!!!! Would come again read more

I am usually very picky with baklavas, but Vanilla is easily my favorite baklava place in Columbus. They have a wide selection of baklavas as well as pastries. During our visit to the store, we tried several different types of the baklavas, and while all were tasty and fresh, my personal favorite was the Turkish baklava. We also tried a few of the pastries, some of which were unique (e.g., the Kit Kat topped chocolate cake). The cakes were just ok to me. I cannot wait to go back to Vanilla for their other baklava options in the future. read more

The food here is so good! We got the cannolis (amazing!!!) and my son loved their star shaped cookies half dipped in chocolate. I got a Dubai bar for my neighbor who had surgery - they all loved it too. The service was great even though they were busy and a nice gentleman who seemed like a regular let us go in front of him. I liked how you could see all of the items in the case so I could point things out to my son. Overall, we can't wait to go back. I wish we would have taken pictures of everything, but it was gone too fast! read more

Oh my gosh!!! I visited the first time yesterday. We ordered several things to share. There was not one I would not order again.

Such nice people too. read more

Wow, we are so impressed by the wonderful treats at Vanilla Sweets & Bakery! A wonderful variety of selections. We love love love the pistachio cake, moist and fluffy, almost like a tres leches cake... tons of flavors in one go! Turkish delights are wonderful with freshly brewed tea. It takes you to another place with the beautiful flavors and texture. Cannoli is creamy and crunchy at the same time. We look forward to trying different kinds of baklava with family and friends tomorrow, and will definitely come back for more. Thank you for the hospitality! ------ These are the most delicious pastries! We also had great conversations because of these scrumptious desserts.... Do not miss the opportunity for a real treat! read more

This unassuming bakery in a strip mall off Hilliard Rome Rd and Robert's Rd is truly a hidden gem. Absolutely delicious baklava in multiple varieties of both walnut and pistachio (a blessing for those of us who love baklava but can't eat walnuts), all very reasonably priced. There is also a variety of beautiful little cakes and tarts, and a whole case of unique Turkish delights that I can't wait to try. The owner is very nice and takes a lot of pride in his craft, which he should because everything we tried was amazing. Can't wait to go back! read more

This is the third cake we have purchased from Vanilla and it won't be the last! This white cake with caramel filling was a huge hit at my husband's retirement party. The owner found the perfect picture and did a beautiful job decorating. They also have wonderful baklava and other Middle Eastern desserts. How fortunate to be able to support this local business and have such delicious treats! read more
