Being a very long time resident of the Valley, I've seen many eateries come and go. Vanilla Bean…read moreCafe is one that should go. It took a while for me to get up the courage to try it, even though there was an overwhelming chance I would be dissatisfied. I wasn't disappointed. It is a "Foo Foo" place in the truest sense of the term. In the 45 minutes I sat there in a booth, not one other male showed their face. I was near enough to the ordering counter to hear what the women were ordering - Lattes, pastries, Artisan soup and sandwiches, Artisan wraps, were the most popular selections. Clever marketing. Tack on the word ARTISAN on the menu and they charge double the true value. There were only 4 booths, but one was open, but the table top had not been cleaned. I had to interrupt the owner playing with his cell phone to do his job. Then I had to wipe down the top because he left it all wet. As for my lunch, I had their TBA for $14. It turned out to be 2 oz of turkey with two thin strips of bacon & a miserly piece of avocado with mayo on toasted bread (not really a panini). Still wondering where the mozzarella was. To add value the owner gives you a $0.50 bag of chips with the sandwich. The mayo was excellent! While tasty I was expecting it to be on a roll as the menu described. Bummer. (When I was leaving the order counter woman offered no apology for the mistake.) I ate slowly to immerse myself in the experience. Just an FYI - Panera Bread, which is known for its high prices, charges less than $14 for this same sandwich plus a bag of chips. Theirs is a triple decker. By comparison my sandwich looked like it was prepared by a free soup kitchen on a strict budget. Check the Panera site. https://www.panerabread.com/content/panerabread_com/en-us/menu/products/grilled-chicken-and-avo-blt.html My sandwich looked like a squashed grilled cheese sandwich. An even better deal than Panera, last month I went down the road (1 mile) to THE GRILLE, Their TB Club, is a triple decker fully dressed and served with a generous portion of fries and homemade pickles for $17. I remembered that I struggled to handle that handheld beast. It was a manly feast. I wound up taking half home to relish the next day for my lunch. Reeses in Waverly offers a triple decker too with fries and slaw for $13. The grand finale is that in addition to the unreal pricing, the owner adds 3% to the bill for credit cards. Really? He needs the extra $0.50 that badly. $16 without tip. Oh, I forgot to mention. You order at the counter, pay upfront, you seat yourself after trying to find a clean table, wipe down the table yourself, and a kitchen employee delivers the prepared sandwich. No followup by any employee to see if everything is Okay. It turned out to be a smart move not to leave a tip at the time of ordering. DON'T! Maybe if you are tight for time you might consider the Vanilla Bean. Please note that it is too small to be considered "intimate." If you are looking to satisfy a true hunger at a great price go to the Grille. Thank God for Guthrie, who I think provides most of Vanilla Bean's customers. OH, I ALMOST FORGOT: HEY VANILLA BEAN ! - UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE WITH AN UPDATED MENU AND USE THE CORRECT PRICING.

So I asked about it and the young woman behind the counter said, rather curtly, that it would be up soon. Another 5 minutes and still no show, so I asked another person, there and she said the same thing. 5 more minutes, still no mocha and I asked the woman who took my order and she said that it is being made up now, but 2 more minutes go by before it finally showed. It seems to me that the folks who place their orders from their cars get priority treatment....which just is not right. The orders should be worked on immediately after being received, regardless of who or where they are placed.

You can't come to the valley without a visit to Jolly Farmer. Jolly Farmer's scones and brownies are insane, and worth the trip alone. The scones are dense, sweet, doughy, and decadent. I sampled the chocolate chip and the blueberry. Both INSANE (and gone in 2 hours). The brownies with homemade peanut butter icing are rich and fudgy, the kind of brownies that stick to your mouth because they're just THAT dense and delicious. Big selection of beer, local goods, and other conveniences. It's just a good old hometown stop 'n shop, but the baked goods are out of this world.

So happy to have a new coffee shop in Elmira, with great hours and great service AND a drive thru!…read more The staff is like the friendliest ever; they had run out of most food due to lots of business in their first week, but the barista explained everything to us and was so nice and accommodating and gave us a sample. They did still have mini cheesecakes, danishes, muffins, cupcakes. We tried the cold brew sweet cold foam, one with caramel foam and one with lavender foam (made with natural organic syrups); both were delicious, and def sweet enough from just the foam. They also let us try the lemon blueberry scones and they were so good. I love that they have tons of seating, both indoors and outdoors, and a community gathering room. There's a couple armchairs too; I think the addition of a couch or two, plus music playing, would help make the space even cozier. We enjoyed getting some online work done here in their space while sipping coffee. Love the Christian decor too. Much love and support for this new business!
