What a cool concept--combining a florist with such an inventive local coffee shop! They had a huge selection of pastries that all looked delicious. After the owner described the velvet espresso cloud latte, there was no way I wasn't getting it. It features a unique blend of spices like cinnamon, turmeric, and cloves, plus your choice of lavender or rose, espresso, and a generous topping of real whipped cream. #winning The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a super flaky, crunchy croissant was also excellent. They offer a great selection of syrups too--I almost never see dark chocolate as an option, and it's one of my favorites!

Everything definitely leans on the sweeter side so perfect for a sweet tooth. Loved the regular peach cobbler, it was served warm with a side of ice cream which went perfectly. The cobbler itself had lots of peaches and tasted fresh and comforting. We also ordered the strawberry peach cobbler, but didn't love the strawberry component as much as I expected. Honestly, I preferred the classic peach cobbler on its own. The space was bright and clean, and the service was very friendly. The staff member took the time to walk us through all the options, which was helpful because there are tons of toppings and ways to customize the desserts and cookies. They're also testing out a food menu. I didn't try any of the savory items since I came strictly for dessert, but it's nice to see them expanding and offering more variety. We are looking forward to trying the stuffed cinnamon roll next!

I finally made it to what might be the cutest coffee truck in the area!…read more Located on Gunn Highway in Odessa, right near the Citrus Park area, Vanilla Bean Coffee & Bakery has such a fun and inviting atmosphere. There's a large outdoor space with picnic tables, making it a great spot to relax with a book, catch up with friends, or spend time with family. On this visit, I ordered an iced Sea Salt Honey Oat Milk Latte and an Everything Sourdough Bagel with chive cream cheese. The latte was good, but I realized I'm probably just not much of an oat milk person. The oat milk flavor was much more prominent than I expected, and I found myself tasting it more than the honey, coffee, or sea salt flavors. If I order this drink again, I'd likely choose regular milk instead because I think it would allow the other flavors to shine through more. Even so, I still enjoyed the drink and finished it. The Everything Sourdough Bagel with chive cream cheese was a bit of a mixed experience for me. The chive cream cheese was excellent and probably my favorite part of the order. The bagel itself, however, wasn't quite what I was hoping for. As someone originally from the New York/New Jersey area, I'm admittedly pretty picky when it comes to bagels. I expect a bagel to have a slightly crisp exterior with a soft, chewy interior, but this one was firm throughout rather than having that contrast in texture. Since I don't eat gluten very often, when I do indulge, I want it to be worth it, and this particular bagel just wasn't my favorite. What really stood out, though, was the overall experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, the coffee truck is absolutely adorable, and the outdoor seating area creates such a relaxing atmosphere. I spent time catching up with a friend, did a little reading, and genuinely enjoyed being there. I also love that they use Spaddy's Coffee, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try some of their other drinks and baked goods. I have my eye on one of their banana foam drinks next time.

I normally gives pros and cons for my reviews but I can't with Bakery Makel because there are no cons. My birthday was this week and my wife ordered a personalized cake and empanadas from them. This cake was... phenomenal! It was the most beautiful cake I've seen, the cake was not very sweet which was perfect because the sweet from the guava balanced out the flavors. The icing was THE best butter cream icing I've ever had... it was smooth, sweet and there was the tiniest hint of salt. The detail of the talavera tiles on the outside of the cake were so perfectly detailed. My guests couldn't stop talking about the cake. Thank you Bakery Makel, me encantó!

We sampled a few other flavors too (they have a ton!), and I wish I'd snapped a photo of the selection. My daughter went with Black Cherry, which was also delicious. My son got Cookie Monster, and my other daughter chose the Cookie Monster Milkshake. Both were hits! We'll definitely be going back.

I was…read moreimmediately intrigued when I learned of the creation of the company and the fact that it was named after the owners' 3 children as depicted in their logo. They had some incredible deals going on for local customers which caught my eye. Although I didnt order while I was in town I kept their information and decided to give them a try once I returned back to DC. I opted for the Party Pack so I could sample 3 different flavors. Im a super picky eater and not too big on desserts but I have a soft spot for caramel and cinnamon. I chose the salted caramel, snickerdoodle and vanilla sprinkle cookies. They arrived all in one piece due to the careful packaging. None of the cookies were damaged or broken. The cookies were amazing! They tasted even better than they looked! You can clearly taste the butter base used in the dough which def makes these cookies rich and stand our from the competitors! The shape and size is perfect for sharing or fulling enjoying by yourself. I ate them too quickly to have to worry abour storing them for freshness but I did decide to share a few with my coworkers and it definitely made their day. Next time I plan to warm them and see how they taste! The cookies themselves are a great value for a truly yummy sweetness. Be prepared to pay for shipping but it is 1000% worth it. I have yet to find cookies similar or better than these in the DC area. I'm already looking for their new and creative upcoming recipes to try out! This is a great way to support a black owned family business!
