The packed up sides arrived shortly afterwards. Chicken came out on a large aluminum tray and smelled great. Short drive home and we dug in. Chicken was crispy, piping hot, and tasty. The Yukon Gold puree/mashed potatoes were creamy and flavorful. The pasta salad was creamy and reminded me of Hawaiian Mac salad. The just-made mini waffles were really good. Dessert was a Marshmallow Brownie. Enjoyed the dinner- would be nice if there was an option to add a couple more pieces to the regular 10-piece entree because the chicken is so good. We'll be back!

The amount of pastries they had was astonishing and they were all so good. The bakery smelled awesome! The coffee is still meh. I don't know it's just too weak and I don't like that. They don't have lids for the coffee cup and I really don't like that. You can sit outside and eat, but it was kind of cold. We got a scone which was fantastic but I would prefer no icing, a mini apricot kouign amann which was to die for and a regular kouign amann which had shattering sugar crust. Soooo good. I love the pastries, but I still think the coffee needs to be worked on.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place! La Farine literally has some of the best fruit tarts in the bay.

I'm not usually a huge pastry person, but if it's from La Farine, I'll definitely go back for a few bites. Bring one of their fruit tarts to any party or gatherings and I promise you, it will be a huge hit!

I wish I lived a bit closer!

I…read morewas looking to gift custom cookies for an event I was hosting and Miriam was a delight to work with. I placed a custom sugar cookie order on Sweet Vanilla Bake Shop's website and heard back within 24 hours. We discussed additional design and delivery logistics over email. Miriam is super thorough and was so considerate of my ever-changing requests. I landed on 2 dozen-- 8 sets of 3 custom cookies each. On delivery day, the cookies were delivered promptly within my requested window. She even included extras which I was so grateful for-- they were devoured immediately (so. good.). I assumed that the cookies would be bundled in a simple cellophane bag, but these were individually wrapped and THEN carefully packaged in these adorable boxes. Just above and beyond. Everyone was raving about the cookies that night! My pics don't do these cookies justice :') They're so beautiful and well-made, melts in your mouth and just the right amount of sweet. The design was perfect. Thank you to Miriam!!! Hope to work with you again for more events :)

The latte was okay, but the food definitely took center stage. The staff were very friendly and well-intentioned, but the communication was lacking.

I honestly can no longer give the shop a 5-star review…read more While their cupcakes are still really good and I can give stars for good cupcakes, I have to lower the rating for customer service because I recently had a really challenging time trying to order a cake from the Walnut Creek branch. Receiving a texted coupon for 15% off my order, I was excited to use it since I needed a birthday cake. Though there was an online code, I could not use the discount online. I called the shop several times, but there was no answer, and I even left a voice message but never heard a call back. Finally I noticed there was number on the website to text so I did, and got a response. The response was that it was too late to order the cake, and the coupon couldn't be used online ordering system because the online ordering system was different from what was used in the store. BUT I was told I can still call my order in and pay in advance over the phone to get the 15% discount if I still wanted cupcakes, and if the store didn't answer, the person sending the text said he/she would contact the store. I appreciated that kind gesture. The next morning, I settled for cupcakes and decided to call the order in and pick up the cupcakes in the afternoon since I had no time that morning to go to the store. But lo and behold, I called and again no one answered. I texted the same number from the day before and a response came back that they would contact the store to give me a call. I checked in by calling the store two more times and still no answer. And no one called back that afternoon either. Sadly, I had to give up, but was glad to give business to a way more responsive bakery with delicious cakes.
