I have definitely been spoiled by gelato at Eataly (and $1 Mariano's scoops)…read more The texture of the gelato here was kind of weird, but flavors were pretty good. The atmosphere seemed nice, but I found it odd that my friend and I were the only people there on a Saturday afternoon. That said, it probably wasn't the best spot to have a "tell me everything that's happened since I last saw you--leave out no detail" kind of conversation; it'd probably be better suited for a daddy/daughter date or getting some studying done. PS if you use a credit card, don't be confused when the charge shows up as a pancake house.

This place is legit. We came here one night after my sweet tooth got the best of me and I ordered a…read moresmall pistachio gelato. Husband got a coconut/pistachio combo. The guy that served us was super patient and let us sample whatever we wanted. He also commented on how awesome my t-shirt was, so bonus points for that. Prices were reasonable (I think it was $2.50 for a small). And the taste was out of this world. I usually hate pistachio anything but this was delicious. The coconut one was good too - I think I detected small bits of coconut in it, as well. All in all, an amazing place to go and we'll definitely be returning.

This was after filling out an order form and 3 separate phone conversations-- one of which was bc I was double charged. On top of that, the cake itself looks very amateur-ish and not professionally made. Had I the time, I for sure could've done better myself. Oh, and as a bonus the girl I spoke to the first time on the phone was super rude then basically hung up on me. Just go get your cake at Jewel's-- it basically looks the same.

They are always coming up with fun and unique flavors, and the stuff they post early in the morning is honestly half the reason I check Facebook. The staff were very friendly and gave recommendations on what the most popular flavors were. I always appreciate that in a place. The pastries are on the sweeter side for sure, so having a whole one can be a lot, but that is just me. Still totally worth it. The decor inside is so cute too. Definitely gives you Alice in Wonderland vibes with all the little trinkets and tea time touches. Super charming spot. If you are into sweets and fun vibes, it is a must-try.

I have had the pleasure of ordering from Vanilla Sugar Bakery not once, but twice, and both…read moreexperiences have been nothing short of phenomenal. Their exceptional service and mouthwatering cupcakes have made me a loyal customer for life. The first time I ordered was for my youngest daughter's birthday, and they created a stunning unicorn cake that left everyone in awe. The cake was not only visually impressive but also incredibly delicious. The attention to detail and the skill of the bakers truly shined through. For my eldest daughter's graduation party, we decided to switch things up and ordered cupcakes instead. We opted for the chocolate pie cupcakes and the wedding cupcakes, and both varieties were absolutely amazing. As a person who typically favors chocolate desserts, I approached the almond wedding cake flavor with some hesitation. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how delightful it turned out to be. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and each bite was a delightful treat. However, I must take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional customer service I received from Vanilla Sugar Bakery. Due to my busy schedule, I completely forgot to place the order for the cupcakes on time. With only three days left before I needed them, I frantically attempted to order online, only to find that there was no option to specify the desired date. In a moment of desperation, I decided to call the store and hope for the best. To my relief, the person I spoke to on the phone was incredibly sweet, kind, and caring. She immediately understood my predicament and assured me that she would help me out. She advised me to place the order online and promised to change the pickup date to accommodate my needs. I cannot express how grateful I am for her willingness to go above and beyond to assist me. Her exceptional service truly saved the day. When I picked up the cupcakes from Vanilla Sugar Bakery, I was greeted with a warm smile and the most delightful aroma of freshly baked goods. The cupcakes were beautifully presented, and it was evident that great care had been taken in their preparation. Vanilla Sugar Bakery has undoubtedly earned my loyalty. Their exceptional service, even in the face of my forgetfulness, and their delicious cupcakes have left a lasting impression. I will continue to rely on them for all my bakery needs, and I eagerly look forward to exploring the other delectable treats they have to offer. Thank you, Vanilla Sugar Bakery, for your remarkable service and creating such delightful cupcakes!

If I could give this bakery a rating based solely on presentation I would give it 5 stars. I was…read morebeyond happy with the decorations! It was beautiful and they altered the colors on the cake (changed from blue/purple to white/pink) per my request! I ordered a Wedded Bliss (almond) 6in cake that serves 8-10 people and it was more than enough cake! You also get the donuts and cake filled cone on top The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the frosting had a very strong almond extract flavor. I thought it would be a lighter flavor but the cake it's self was fluffy and delicious! In short, I would recommend this bakery. If I order from here again I will pick a different frosting.

I have never purchased anything from here that I haven't loved. Our personal favorites are the English muffins as mentioned, their croissants(the almond one is SO good), and their Sophia bread which is rolled in seeds and has a bit of a fennel taste to it. There are tons of other options so definitely give them a try to find your favorite. Everything is always fresh and their staff is always friendly. As far as I know they still do not have a physical store front still but their site is super user friendly in order to place your order ahead and schedule a pick up at one of their scheduled dates/locations. You won't be disappointed!

Scone Emergency = Joyful Triumph!…read more Let me tell you about these scones -- they're not just baked goods, they're buttery, crumbly little clouds of joy. Sweet, flaky perfection in every bite, with a variety of flavors so tempting it's honestly unfair to the other pastries in town. I showed up right at closing time like a woman on a mission -- I had an emergency (yes, scone emergencies are real) because my friends were taking a painfully early flight and I needed to send them off with something that said, "Bon voyage, but with carbs." Not only was I greeted with kindness, but I was offered a delightful selection of scones like it was still mid-morning! The service? Superb. Compassionate. Possibly saintly. The shop itself is also a total gem -- cozy, welcoming, and full of great energy. It's the kind of place where you want to linger, sip your coffee slowly, and pretend you're a local character in a charming indie film. The next morning, I enjoyed the outside with a fresh brew and a scone, soaking in the morning peace and feeling very pleased with myself. Meanwhile, my friends, in their sleepy travel frenzy, forgot their share of scones. TRAGIC for them. But also... YESSSS for me -- more buttery goodness to hoard enjoy! Moral of the story: come for the scones, stay for the kindness and the vibe. And if you're flying out early -- maybe forget a bag so you have an excuse to come back.
