    Sunshine Skillet with poached eggs in a savory tomato sauce... delicious!
    Elizabeth H.

    This bakery/coffee shop is cozy with good food and inspiring staff. Good because the Sunshine Skillet was bright and delicious. Full of flavor and healthy. It came with pieces of bread and cucumber sticks to scoop the poached eggs and tomato sauce together. No wonder it's called Sunshine Skillet! Inspiring because the people behind the counter were wonderful and welcoming. Interesting conversation too! Will definitely return and will have that honey cake!

    Very solid cafe and bakery! I walked in early morning to grab a coffee and a snack and ordered the lavender latte and it was delicious! Their House RAF coffee was something the worker recommend to me but it's made with heavy cream so I went with a less lactose heavy drink, I will try it next time! I ordered a pesto bread, and I will say the bread is super unique and Tasty! You can tell the bread was home made. However I felt that it could use more pesto. I was also recommended their mini pancakes, will need to try that next time!

    Hot Chai Latte

    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.

    Absolutely incredible experience! The RAF latte was a 1000/10. I honestly couldn't believe how good it was. The flavor was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced. It was thick and creamy in the best way, and even the color was absolutely beautiful. The croissants were just as impressive--so fluffy, buttery, and delicious. Every bite tasted fresh and perfectly made. What surprised me the most were the prices. I

    Vanilla Bakery Cafe is one of those places you almost don't want to tell people about. Great coffee, excellent pastries, and the Honey Cake is worth the trip by itself. It's easily the best I've had in Orange County. Moist, light, perfectly balanced, and not overly sweet. The café has a cozy atmosphere that makes it a great spot for a casual coffee date or catching up with someone. Fair prices, friendly service, and consistently good quality. I'll definitely be back.

    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.

    Baklava and Goghal

    Omg what a cute place! Baklava was sooooo good. They make fresh brewed loose leaf tea. Great spot for some focused work or a date! The ladies are so nice here!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Not overly sweet, not soggy or swimming in espresso...just incredibly fresh. It's one of the best I've had in a long time. Their cakes definitely set the bar high.

The service has always been extremely accommodating and the one time I've been disappointed in my original order selling out and having to wait too long for the final dish, they went out of their way to make sure I was given extra fries (which are excellent) and extra things to dip my heaping scoop of hummus into.
