    Hot Chai Latte
    Morgan W.

    Warmly welcomed when walking in through the doors. They have a menu on the wall that you can order from at the front. I chose avocado toast, no tomato or lettuce and added a scrambled egg with a hot chai tea latte. I chose to eat in and they delivered it to my table of choice. The latte was super yummy and my toast was good along with the fruit that was substituted for the tomatoes and lettuce :) the place is so cute too! The chairs are comfy too (if that matters to you) I loved them.

    Hidden gem. I've been twice now, had to come back to try some goodies. I loved the iced oatmilk honey latte (1/2 sweet). Every food item we tried was good as well. The staff is super nice and will take the time to share with you everything that is in their specialties and there are ALOT. It's decorated so cute and it's bigger than it looks from the outside.

    stereo console playing the music

    This little bakery cafe is located in a semi-hidden corner strip mall (on Lake Forest Drive and Moulton Parkway). It's near my home and I've driven by it countless times over the past few years and never knew it was there until I recently stumbled upon it. I consider it a hidden gem. The interior is cozy and classy with several tables along a corridor and more in a back room. There are a couple of tables just outside the front entrance and also out on a tiny streetside patio. I ordered a caffè mocha and a cinnamon roll from the vast array of options in their pastry case. They had at least a dozen different macarons with unique flavors so I also chose a Snickers macaron. I was invited to seat myself at any table and my order was brought to me. The mocha was one of the best, if not THE best, I've had. The chocolate was deep and silky smooth to the tongue and blended well with the espresso. Temperature-wise it was immediately drinkable. The warmed cinnamon roll was presented with knife and fork and deserves to be admitted into the Cinnamon Roll Hall of Fame as the cinnamon and frosting were in perfect ratio, and the roll itself was so fresh and soft. It was the first time I've ever wanted to hug a pastry. The Snickers macaron was excellent. The chocolate and caramel flavors were there along with a couple of peanuts stuck to the side. The double layer of filling made it a decadent treat yet not overly sweet. I will definitely be back to try some of the other unusual macaron creations. The fellow working here was very friendly and helpful. I felt as if I was being treated as a family member, very warmly. While I was there, some classic 70s music was playing from a stereo console that looked vintage from when combination turntables and radios were actual furniture. If you live in OC or find yourself in the area, you truly must visit.

    I love the owners and staff, they are great! My son and I stopped here for a sweet treat and coffee. It took about 15 minutes to get our order. No big deal, but for coffee and pre-made pastries, that's too long. Cute decor and atmosphere. Coffee and pastries were good.

    As much as I enjoyed the pastry and coffee, the food was even better. The eggs were rich and buttery with a generous helping of salmon and avocado. The berries on the waffle were ripe and sweet. The staff let us take our dogs on their back patio area to eat. Walked here from concept3 garage while we waited for an oil change. Great place to go if you have a Japanese car.

    Hi everyone We stopped by Vanilla Street Bakery by chance, and it was a new and wonderful experience for us The beverages and drinks were so tasty The staff were very friendly, gentle, and polite At the main entrance, we met the owner's dad (his name is Rafik), who kindly explained how the bakery was established and told us about the many delicious items they offer The interior design is very authentic and cozy -- we really enjoyed the atmosphere

    A very happy healthy dose of pure happiness and joy right here in the heart of Laguna Hills. Vanilla Street bakery really delivers exceptional quality and amazing service for anyone craving something special from the Homeland of mother Russia with some Ukraine roots and recipes. I so enjoyed myself here today with her delightful espresso rad coffee red cup and three flavors sweet dessert for afternoon coffee. I will definitely come back for the amazing breakfast special once the heatwave is over in California. Hope you can drop on by this beautiful place for your next coffee date. Enjoying the sunshine of life. Priceless.

    Pavlova that everybody coveted

    It was my birthday and my friends called bakeries starting with letter A and vanilla was bottom of the list for south Orange County and the ONLY bakery who had them! Best birthday ever as I have been wanting one for over a year! These were divine! Sweet crunchy chewy topped with whipped cream and tart raspberries! This bakery is small and a little gem and a must visit !

    Honey Cake and Black Currant Macaron
    Ashley C.

    What a cozy cafe! I had such a great first time here. The honey cake is super delicious and a must try. I'm excited to go back and try some of their other honey cake flavors. Also, got the black currant macaron which was very well made. The size of the macaron is pretty large, almost the size of two traditional size macaron. The flavors were really good, the cream in the center was rich and exterior shells were delicate. The interior is spacious and I love the decor. The space is very inviting and a great place to catch up with a friend over some delicious sweets. The staff member at the front was kind and helpful. We asked about his recommendations and he told us his favorite were the black currant desserts (also told us he's slightly biased black currant). I'm looking forward to coming back here with a friend and trying some other pastries. I can tell that they really care about the quality of the ingredients. A lot of places you just taste sugar or some sort of sweetener. With the desserts here, you can really taste the ingredients.

    Quiet little bakery nestled in Laguna. Interior is super cozy and intimate, with additional seating in the back and outside patio. Pastry case was filled with a lot of goodies, and plenty of drinks as well. I had some help from the staff to decide what I wanted. Ended up choosing the black currant honey cake, pavlova, and Italian soda (rasberry). Honey cake was a perfect not too sweet, cake cake (for those who don't like a lot of frosting). The black currant has a pop of tart that mellows out more of the sweetness but keeps you coming back for more. Pavlova was airy, creamy, and the rasberry jam was a great sweet/tart flavor. This was my first time trying both of these pastries and I can wait to try more!

    Cute interior
    Janet R.

    Vanilla St Bakery is such a cute, quaint bakery conveniently located to one of my favorite fried chicken spots. Interior is super cute and they have a very unique display of decadent macarons, cakes, cookies etc. The Iced Strawberry Matcha was Delicious! A definite must try! My son enjoyed his chocolate croissant and I found traces all over his face as he devoured it. We will definitely be back to try the other sweet treats and Breakfast.

    Classic honey cake
    Matt M.

    What a cute little shop! Located in a small plaza, we had a great experience at Vanilla Street Bakery. Service is top notch, really friendly, and personable. Plus, everything we tasted here was great! And they have this cute section for handmade products as well. Plus, there's some store swag like tumblers and whatnot. We tried the Classic Honey Cake, Dubai macaron, Milky Crush, Coconut Chocolate Bite, and a Lavender Latte. I was a little skeptical about the latte, as normally lavender tends to be overwhelming, but this was perfect! Just a hint of their lavender, which they make in house. What a great surprise! Out of the desserts, my favorite was the Milky Crush. So smooth and decadent. But everything else was great as well. The Honey Cake kind of reminds me of a very light cheesecake with graham cracker-flavored layers. I'm not a cheesecake person either, but this was very good. They have some cute ambiance as well, with a lot of little decorations sprinkled throughout. The tables are spread pretty well, and the place is clean. I'm a fan!

    I've driven past this cafe literally over a hundred times and never noticed it near the intersection of Moulton and Lake Forest. I only found it this time because I was looking for a nice cafe to kill some time and the Yelp reviews were great. I'm really glad I stopped by. I ordered a coffee and a strawberry shortcake. The coffee was served in an attractive green and white mug and it was really great coffee. I'm not sure how many ounces it was, but the mug was a big one. The shortcake was freshly baked, not overly sweet, with a nice crunch. (There are lots of appetizing freshly baked pastries so deciding on one was difficult.) The owner took my order and served me the coffee/cake and she was warm and friendly. Indeed, the vibe of the cafe was warm and friendly, a very nice place to hang out. I will definitely be returning and plan to try a savory breakfast item next time. This cafe is a gem and a find.

Ice cream is delicious and the servings are pretty generous. Lines can get fairly long during a rush but they tend to go quickly.

With the wide selection of ice cream flavors, I always get choice paralysis. It's wonderful you can try a few flavors before picking the right one. All the ice cream is so fresh, fluffy, and the variety keeps you wanting to come back and try something new. I like texture in my ice cream and Handel's is really great at mixing the right ingredients/toppings in their ice cream. I recently got a Mud Pie and the brownie was made just right. Not too soggy, didn't have a weird taste to it. It was cold but still had a good chew to it. Parking is always easy to find although on busier nights, you'll have to park quite far and wait in a longer queue. I've only been here once during the day and there isn't much shade provided for the seated area. Honestly there isn't much seating in general which I can understand due to the way the location is. It would be ideal to improve the seating, if possible. Two tables with no umbrella/shade isn't appealing during hot summer days and you're stuck eating ice cream in the car.
