. I wanted to get a special treat for my birthday. I got dark chocolate gelato over a waffle. I had the dark chocolate crêpe on a previous visit. Both are incredible. I made the mistake of taking my grandsons now they're bothering me every Saturday morning until Vanilla. Café opens. It is quickly become our favorite treat on weekends. read more

I tried out the chestnut ice cream, the coconut ice cream and the strawberry ice cream. They were all very delicious. I loved it. I had the ice cream in a medium cup, three different flavors. I loved the coconut flavor! Chestnut tasted almost like Nutella! I definitely want to visit again! It is gorgeous around there, many clothes and book stores. On a sunny day, it is beautiful! The flowers and the trees! read more

After eating dinner nearby, a restaurant employee suggested we try this place for dessert. It was an excellent choice! We had three different gelato flavors in one cup. A price was less with cash, so we used cash rather than a card. There were enough different gelato choices that we will need to return just to try some of the other choices. read more

Very cute little Cafe with gelato, coffee and tea options. I stopped in for a chai tea that I really enjoyed. Service was friendly and attentive. I saw a lot of parents and kids coming in, or people like myself just ordering a drink. read more

Excellent Gelato in a cozy modern cafe with friendly service. Their Cappucino, pastries etc are great as well. If you are in the area, it is worth a trip read more

I've been here twice now and both experiences have been great! They're a small cafe with freshly made gelato (at least 12 flavors) and any kind of coffee you could imagine. They also have pastries for purchase if you wanted a snack. The staff is very friendly and they have indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. The gelato is to die for!! read more

This is a new cafe in the Avenues so we stopped by. Love that this is a small business which I always look to support. The gelato selection was decent and freshly made. I highly recommend getting a cup and trying two flavors together. I tried a hazelnut brown sugar latte with almond milk. It was one of the smoothest lattes I've had in a while. No bitter aftertaste just dreamy. It's one of those coffees so good I took my time savoring it. There is a small assortment of pastries to choose from. I had a caramel coconut cake. The perfect accompaniment to the latte. Next time I will try the coffee with a scoop of gelato in it. I highly recommend trying this place out. I plan on being a regular!!! read more

Came here for the gelato, so cants speak on coffee and pastries. The place is super cute but has very limited seating inside. Gelato was totally worth it, soft creamy and delicious. I got large with 3 flavors: brigadiers, hazelnut and coconut. Hazelnut was my favorite. I can't wait to come back and try other flavors My only wish is to be able to get 3 smaller flavors with the regular cup. read more

Extremely rude service. I stood for more than 10 minutes at the cashier and was ignored completely. Then another customer was given priority and I was told to stand in the line at ice cream. So frustrating. I was the only person of color in that line and I was treated as if I was invisible. Not sure if it was deliberate. Never will visit them again. read more

I found this gem after a Google search. I have had gelatos from here multiple times, got pint at home. Their service is really good. Extremely friendly staff. It's a small cafe. Flavors options are great. I can't comment on coffee but gelato is just too good. Pistachio flavor feels and tastes real. There's a small outdoor seating capacity as well which makes up for a great option during summers. read more

This is probably the best icecream I ever had. The affogato was out of this world. I was in Italy often but this icecream is even better than in Italy. I am officially addicted. And the girls behind the counter were super sweet. read more

Very small cafe with some outside tables. Amazing coffee and we had a croissant ( delicious) and the cheesebread trio which was to die for. They also have a wonderful assortment of gelato which I will try next time. So important to support a local business. Very nice people. read more

Delicious homemade gelato! I tried the chocolate fudge and caramel. Both were sooo good. Will definitely go back. Looking forward to trying their coffee read more

Loved this place! Cutest little coffee shop with good coffee and cute decorations. Parking: Plenty of outside parking since it's part of a big shopping center. Vibe/atmosphere: Super cute! It definitely gives small coffee shop vibes that has local coffee suppliers! The decorations were beautiful. Food Ordered: Ice latte with oat milk. I got a full cup of coffee with not too much ice so it felt like I actually got my money's worth of coffee. Wait Time: less than 5 minutes (I went during the weekday, so it might be busier during the weekends. Service: Great! There was only one person working and she was quick yet still friendly. Family Friendly: Ish. If you have walking toddlers it's perfect because they can sit in a chair on their own (no high chairs that I saw). If you have an infant, it's harder because there isn't a lot of space inside the shop for your stroller. But there were 2 tables outside that had more space. read more

Customer service not good but the Gelato was great! I don't spend my money at businesses that have bad customer service period!!

Delicious and so fresh! My new favorite cafe! I had an eggplant panini and a chai latte. Exactly what I needed for the cold weather. The lady was very nice too! read more

It seems like it's the owner and her daughter. The owner or whoever she is- always so rude. I don't know what her deal is. We've visited here so many times. Unfortunate that this is the only coffee shop at the Avenue so there are no other options. I'm honestly surprised people still come here and deal with her rudeness, read more

People with food allergies beware: this establishment doesn't take food allergies seriously and has no idea what's in their ice cream. They caused my son to have an anaphylactic reaction and had no remorse whatsoever. read more

This shop is so cute!! The inside is a lovely calm atmosphere and the outside tables are comfy as well (seat cushions!!) I tried the fudge swirl gelato which was unbelievably good! Creamy and flavorful without being too rich. I will definitely be back to try other flavors and some of the other baked goods they offer! I also got an iced chai latte. I'm generally more of a coffee/espresso drinker but I do enjoy the occasional chai. It was quite thin. I assume this is because they used actual tea and not a concentrate or the like. It was also quite a spicy chai. This is not my preference but it may be other people's. I also don't really understand why the iced drink prices are more expensive? I don't mind paying for quality but there doesn't seem to be much difference ingredient or work wise to make it iced rather than hot. When I return I will be trying something with espresso. read more

My new go to spot for coffee in the heart of East Cobb. Anyone else sooooo sick of Starbucks like I am!? Finally a new, locally owned joint! They have a section of Brazilian pastries, coffee and gelatos, all homemade. The interior is very chic with options for seating but they also have two outdoor tables. I heard people in line raving about their gelato so I can't wait to come back and try their other offerings. Super happy to have more options at The Avenue! read more

Decided to stop by this place because it's close to my job and I needed an afternoon pick me up. Beautiful interior, nice staff, and most importantly great coffee!! I got the Brown Sugar Latte and it was spectacular. Will be returning! read more

Vanilla Café e Gelato - Cappuccino. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

The drinks were not good at all. Order an iced almond milk hazelnut brown sugar and it was insanely bitter. Only tasted espresso, as if no flavoring was in it. Did not drink more than a fourth, even after stirring the taste was too bitter. Discounted since it was practically a $6 drink. The cinnamon cake wasn't as crumbled as expected. In fact, it was very dry. The chocolate mousse cake was also very dry but the mousse part was very scrumptious. The interior is quite nice though. It creates an inviting place to sit down and enjoy your coffee. However, the drinks need some work! The prices are way too overpriced for below average items. Highly disappointed, see a lot of potential here though! Could be better. read more
