    We arrived around 6 PM and the place was practically empty, with only two customers having coffee. We purchased our drinks and sat down as a family. My child was quietly sitting in his stroller watching cartoons on a phone at a low volume. Even so, a relative of the owner (not a customer) approached us and asked us to turn the volume down because there were "customers" who were bothered by it. This was despite the fact that no actual customer complained directly, and the only other two people in the shop were having conversations at a similar or even louder volume than the child's device. We still complied and lowered the volume without any issue. The cashier who served us was very kind and polite throughout the transaction, which was one of the few positive parts of the experience. Another very concerning issue was the presence of a large number of flies inside the shop, especially around the pastry display. It was obvious and constant. My husband respectfully informed an employee about it, explaining that it could become a serious health concern if an inspection were to happen, and suggested they address the issue. The employee responded politely and took action. However, what was extremely concerning is that afterward, the owner's relative served cinnamon rolls to other customers that had been exposed to flies landing on them, which we found completely unacceptable from a food safety and hygiene standpoint. It is also important to mention that the owner was present during our visit. However, she did not acknowledge us at any point, not even a basic greeting such as "good afternoon," even though she walked directly past our table. That lack of basic courtesy was noticeable. Additionally, the overall cleanliness of the establishment was very disappointing. The floors were dirty, and the restroom was in truly unacceptable condition, appearing unsanitary and poorly maintained. In general, while the cashier was kind and professional, other interactions came directly from the owner and a male family member, who were the ones showing an unfriendly and unwelcoming attitude throughout the visit. The atmosphere of the coffee shop also strongly contrasts with its spiritual décor and religious messages displayed throughout the space, which makes the overall experience feel even more inconsistent with the values it appears to promote. Overall, it was an uncomfortable, unsanitary, and disappointing experience that did not make us feel welcome as a family.

    I have come to this shopping center several times on my way to Joe Overstreet's (for wildlife photography) and never noticed this place, today, thanks to Yelp I found it, Kali made a delicious cappuccino and suggested the three meat sandwich, everything was delightful. The ambience of this place it very modern and layback, a few people talking softly, others in their laptops or phones but all and all super quiet, clean and relaxing. Next time in the area I'll make sure to pay a visit to Kali (the youngster behind the counter...!

    We were visiting our daughter in Florida and she brought us here to have coffee. It was very good coffee, and we really appreciated the ambience. The service was efficient and very friendly. The seating was comfortable. Over all we decided we would come back here when we visit again:)

    So yummy! I live nearby and have passed this place a million times and my family and I decided to give it a try. I'm so happy we did. It's seems like a place you would not find in Saint Cloud but so happy I have! The food was amazing , you can order at the front or off your phone with a QR code and they'll call out your name when ready. Indoors has Instagram feels. We enjoyed everything we ate , no complaints!

    Sweetened Matcha Tea (iced)
    Andrea J.

    Stopped by Vanessa's Coffee Shop in St. Cloud on our way down from a weekend in Orlando, and it was such a pleasant surprise. There is plenty of free parking out front, which was great. Inside, it was clean and has a cozy, modest setup. I can see it getting full during the weekend rush, but it wasn't overly crowded when we visited around 10:15am on a Sunday. The bathroom is towards the back and was kept very clean. The staff were very friendly and welcoming! We ordered a *Mallorca sandwich with bacon, cheddar, and an over-medium egg*-- and wow! The Mallorca bread was soft, fresh, and topped with powdered sugar, just like you'd expect from a panadería on the island of Puerto Rico. My husband, who's Puerto Rican, and I both agreed that it was as authentic as you can get without actually being there. *5 Stars!! I ordered an iced matcha tea, which I was made aware after trying it that the power comes sweetened. I missed that detail when ordering as I prefer mine unsweetened, but that's on me. Would love to see an unsweetened matcha option in the future. Overall, a great breakfast/brunch/coffee spot with strong menu offerings, authentic touches, and a clean, welcoming environment. Next time I'm in the area, I'll be back for another Mallorca, and looking forward to trying others as well.

    The food was really great! We got a pastrami sandwich and the berry french toast. My girlfriend is a french toast enthusiast and this has been her favorite ever, which is an achievement. The sandwich was really delicious, especially when you layer the potato chips inside the sandwich. The workers were also very kind and helpful when I requested to make my iced coquito latte a little sweeter as I don't like the taste of coffee too much. It didn't really taste too much like coquito, but I could taste the cinnamon! Still a really good latte. Would definitely come back again when we have the finances to afford it because this place is expensive!! A large drink is $9 and the french toast was around $20. Though, the place does seem a little upscale.

    There's just something about this place, good coffee, good breakfast, good energy. My favorite little escape.

    Beautiful cafe, bible verses on the walls and cups, fun twinkle lights & creative drinks. Great food options and quick service. I've been to their other location but this was in literally the same thing lol

    Service was outstanding and fast in a well ambience coffee shop and more. We all loved our selections. Not five because they made two errors with my Cuban Sandwich: I asked for no pickles and mayo .... Other than that it was delicious.

    Plain pancakes (I already ate one)

    The pancakes are amazing, I also ordered a coconut latte that was excellent. We stopped by on our trip in the area and now wish this was in Jacksonville as I would certainly be a regular here. The interior is nice and inviting and the staff are friendly and nice.

    Latte

    Food, service, and vibe were all great! We will definitely return and try other options as everything looked good.

    We have heard wonderful things about Vanessa's so we decided to give it a try. Such a great find, and a lovely local coffee shop! They offered a large variety of breakfast and brunch foods, along with different kinds of coffees and drinks! Something neat was their seasonal offerings, with right now having a selection of pumpkin brunch and coffee items! The staff was very friendly and was able to answer any questions we may have had. You could order at the counter or through the QR code at the table. There was a lot of seating both indoor and outdoor too. Overall we will definitely be coming back to try more of what they have to offer!

    Omelette with French toast

    Vanessa's started off as such a cute and perfect little coffee shop. Everything was great from service to the different craft coffees. The food was excellent! Used to be one of my go to places to study and get my caffeine kick. The staff is very polite and the aesthetics of the place are lovely. As time has passed I have noticed ordering online and in person has become harder and harder. Online orders do not get made until you tell them you are there for your order, leaving you to wait a long time which defeats the purpose of ordering ahead. I understand the point is freshness but there needs to be a better system. I do think they've grown more than they have the staff and the location for it. Although it has always been pricey I never had an issue paying for it as the food was great quality but with these wait times everything gets affected.

The big reason I'm knocking it a star is the pricing. My waffle (small) was $13. I could go get a whole meal at chipotle or a food spot for that. Over all everything I bought here, 1 drink, 2 food items was almost $40. Too pricey IMO! They don't have prices anywhere either like others state, that's annoying to me. Overall would definitely come back, just wish they worked on lowering the prices

The fact that your menu has NO PRICES, is a sleazy tactic to charge high prices without being honest. Then you have negative signage everywhere; charging $.50 for a water cup..!? Other people have also commented about how disingenuous this place is. It's like generically using Bible verses to ripoff Christians and it's a bad look.. $30 for a few WATERED down coffees and slices of bread. Never going here again. I'd rather go to a non "Christian" business that doesn't rip off their customers and aren't rude.. Here's tips: 1. Be transparent on your menu pricing. 2. Stop watering down your coffee as many have said. 3 Take off all your negative and cheapskate water signage. If I see outreach from the business and update to their deceptive menu, I'd happily come back here and revisit my low rating.

Everything was really flavorful, filling, and worth trying. My only small complaint with the food is that you can't mix and match the tacos, which would be nice since they have some fun options. The restaurant itself has a bar, indoor and outdoor seating, and a very nice modern style. The staff was friendly and seemed to be trying their best to keep up with how busy and hectic the restaurant gets. I took off a star because the air conditioning is definitely an issue, which made the experience less enjoyable, especially in this Florida heat. This isn't my first time here, and every visit seems to come with a wait. They also seem to be short-staffed most of the time, so service can feel a little stretched. I would say it's on the pricey side, but the food is worth it in the end. With better staffing and some cooling in the dining area, the overall experience would match the quality of the food so much better. With that being said, I'll definitely be back, but probably on a day when it's nice and cool!
