I went with the sfogliatelle and a slice of cake. My mom got a giant napoleon and banana berry parfait. The filling in the cake was tasty. I didn't care for the sweet icing and the cake was dry. I'm guessing because it had been sitting in the case pre sliced. The pastries were amazing. The sfogliatelle was the best is ever had. We will return just for that in the future.

While there I saw brownies. I don't regularly eat brownies home made or otherwise but they looked great. I bought two and I am so glad I did. It was far and away the best brownie I have ever eaten. Somehow they got it perfectly cooked and the chocolate chips inside never melted. It was just awesome. This bakery is located on Main St in Allentown right next door to The Allentown Pharmacy. They are closed Monday and Tuesday so plan accordingly. Menu changes often so you will never get bored.

Keeping my "blinders" on, my mission is to get a few of those famous crispy bakes for my daughter's 26 birthday instead of buying a whole cake. My attendant, Eimau, (hope I spelled correcty, if not, my apologies) was so pleasant and his patience servicing me has me leaving with not only a few bakes, but cake pops, cupcakes and macaroons!! You have to try this nice place, so good. Thank you all for your service.

I returned to Lilla Vanilla after a mediocre visit a couple of months ago. I was initially on the…read morefence due to the two viral crunches I tried--only one was enjoyable--and I wasn't impressed with the service. That said, I don't believe in writing a place off after a single average experience, so I decided to give it a second chance. This time, I ordered two different viral crunches along with a croissant. Unfortunately, the results were disappointing across the board. The Mixed Berry Crunchy was cute in presentation, but that was its only redeeming quality. There was no bold--or even subtle--mixed berry flavor. At $10, it felt wildly overpriced and not worth the calories. Next was the Lemon Crunchy, which is supposed to feature a lemon blueberry flavor. As someone who loves lemon, I had high expectations, but once again it was bland and forgettable. Since this is a bakery, I also tried a fresh croissant and asked for it to be warmed. The staff accommodated the request, and it smelled incredible. It was warm, light, and flaky--but sadly, the flavor fell flat. A light brushing of butter on top would have gone a long way. For me, this is strike two. Unfortunately, Lilla Vanilla just isn't worth the money or the calories. Based on my experience--mediocre service on the first visit, bland and overpriced featured items on the second, and only neutral-to-slightly-positive notes on the croissant--I'd rate it 2 out of 5 . I seriously contemplated giving them 1 star but to be fair, the viral crunchy presentation was appealing and the croissant did have good texture (even if the flavor missed).

While on a road trip, of course I had to discover new donut places.

It is a small shop and a little shopping center so you may have some difficulty with parking. I went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't very busy. I was greeted immediately and each of the available doughnuts are on display in the front case. The consistency was more bread like so it wouldn't necessarily qualify as a yeast or a cake doughnut. I took a bite of each and that was the end. If you are a true donut fan, you may be disappointed like I was.

If you are looking to end your day with the gingered peach definitely get yourself and your loved ones a cupcake. Also if you are starting your day with a cupcake no judgement.

They have a large parking lot and cute outdoor seating with umbrellas which I will definitely use during my next visit. Walking in the smell of heaven just slapped me in my face and I was transported back in time to what I say was a perfect little bakery .... every where you turned there was a new and exciting piece of deliciousness to drool over. They offered free chocolate cherry butter cookies which were divine!!!!! I didn't purchase any because my focus was on the cake (& on the donuts and dog treats that mysteriously were in my hands when I left lol). There were so many options for cake that in order to wind my decision down I asked the employee what their top cakes were and based on his reply I decided to go with the Strawberry Shortcake ... which was hands down the best I've ever had! It had those delightful "crunchies" the Good Humor strawberry shortcake ice cream bars have which made the cake out of this world! The donuts were massive and so fun! Unique options like the fruity pebbles and froot loops donuts made everyone in the office smile. I could go on and on but since I'll be back and back and back again I can save the rave for future visits. Oh and the employee .... AMAZING!!!! He was so patient and helpful and friendly. All in all a 5 star experience.

While I hate to judge an establishment by its looks, this did not have much to offer. Old fixtures and display, no line, PLENTY of baked goods left... But I guess in this case it was right. They had plenty of cookies left, a few donuts, plenty of cupcakes and other goods which at the end of the day seemed odd. The service was ok, but not knowledgeable about their selection. How do you not know what kind of filling is in your donuts? I tried 2 donuts which ended up being dry, granular tasting, and left a waxy taste in your mouth. They had me questioning if they were actually old, and not today old but like made yesterday old. But hey, 2 donuts for $1.50? I guess that's not bad.
