We had 11 people. Service was friendly and quick. Most of us ordered something different, a few ordered the beef sandwich. Everything was really really good!

It's ok just means another stop next time we're on way to or from Niagara again lol

But once you go looking for it, it's easy to find, and has a really welcoming exterior, with cheery sign and lots of flowers. I arrived around 12:30 pm and the place was about half full. I had in mind to sit outside to eat, but the waitress, Melanie, let me know the bees were pretty bad, so I stayed inside. I ordered an egg salad sandwich on GF bread, which came with lettuce and tomato, and a side of chips. I didn't want the chips so upgraded to a side salad. The egg salad was nice - good amount of mayo, enough salt, nothing weird added, and a good portion. The GF bread was really good - a nice surprise. Lettuce and tomato were both fresh. Side salad was nothing too special, though the balsamic dressing was good (served on the side). Service was great - Melanie was friendly and attentive, accommodating and bubbly. I would definitely recommend and will be back next time I'm in town.

I have not had a bagel so tender and flavorful since we left NYS over 30 years ago. Very happy with the spreads, too, which were packed with flavor. While some reviews bark about wait times, especially when busy, I think good things are worth the wait. Babe's has my "Give 'em a Whirl" meter begging for another bite. Support local. Go here.

We ordered within 5-10 min of sitting down, but then waited 45 min - 1 hour for our food. We both ordered omelets, which were massive and tasty once they arrived. Turns out the waitress forgot to put our food order into the system. She apologized, but otherwise, nothing else was done. I was shocked since most places own up to their mistake and make it right to the customer by offering a free side dish, comping the meal or taking a percentage off the bill to recognize their mistake. This was not the case. There's MANY other breakfast spots in the area so I would skip this and look elsewhere.

The sausage gravy was cooked really well. It was not salty like some gravy I've had in the past. The biscuits were nice, fluffy and buttery.

We requested seating with a view, and it was a beautiful evening. Service was fairly good with bussers and a waitress at our disposal. There was also some live music playing on this Friday evening which was at just the right volume for some nice background music without interfering with our conversation. I had a fish fry, and the fish was delicious and crispy. The fries and coleslaw were good as well. I ordered a drink called a tropical Cosmo. I didn't taste anything tropical, and it was fairly strong. My friend ordered a Moscow Mule, and it was very good and actually half the price of my drink. Bottom line, this is a great restaurant for ambiance and food.

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.
