A couple of my favorites are the cheesecake cookie and deer run. The interior is so nicely decorated and always smells like heaven. The owner is so friendly and hard-working.

I will definitely consider this place for catering one day and I will miss it dearly when I graduate.

My close friend that lives in town lost her father last week and I live out of state. I wanted to send her and her family some sweets from some place that felt genuine. I searched through at least 50 bakeries in the Rochester area and I couldn't find one that looked more authentic than Vanilla Lane. Im assuming it was the owner who got back to me so promptly. She was kind, understanding, and helped me put an order together of her most popular items. She even delivered it to my friend's house free of charge since they live close by. The delivery was just received and my friend messaged to say that they started indulging immediately, and cookies were the best they've ever had. Perfect comfort food after a hard week. Thank you again, Vanilla Lane.

Once Vern set them down on our table we realized the folly of our ways so we asked him to package one for the next day's breakfast. It proved to be fresh and delicious. On the next day I returned and purchased a coffee for my wife which she enjoyed along with 1/2 of the remaining Danish though it obviously was not as fresh as the one the day prior. Inexplicably the price of coffee this day was $4 versus $3 the day prior.

It's probably good I don't live near here, because it would be terrible for my waistline. But after…read moretrying this bakery on the penultimate day of a vacation, we had to come back to stock up on our final day. We collectively tried the olive ciabatta, three kinds of croissants, a flatbread, an epi bread, and maybe a couple of other things I am forgetting. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. I love the vibe of the place, I love the logo they stamp on their bags, I love that they threw in an extra pastry because we bought so much on that last day, and I love the location just across from the river. (First-time visitors should note that you enter the bakery from the back of the building that faces Water St.) Perhaps the strongest endorsement came from my partner's 14-year-old son, who gave the almond croissant a 10/10. When I asked him to rate the almond croissant that he loves from a bakery local to us, he gave it an 8.5/10. Follow-up questioning revealed that the chocolate croissants from the two bakeries merited a 9.5 and 8, respectively. Oh, and if you call earlier in the day they will hold things for you if you won't be able to make it in until later in the day.

Hidden gem!…read more Delicious pastries! Super friendly and nice owner! Inside smells amazing! We tried the chocolate croissant and the Bostock (brioche w almond topping and strawberries). Both were great and would happily eat either again! The chooclate croissant had a soft chocolate filling as opposed to a harder chocolate. I liked the bostock better but both were yummy.

We wanted to buy everything but I got the raspberry bars and the monkey bread! The raspberry bars were SO GOOD that after I tried it I had to buy more! I also got the monkey bread and it was better than I hoped! Monkey bread and cinnamon rolls are one of the things I miss most being gf so being able to enjoy that again made my day... and my week!!! I couldn't recommend a place anymore. The customer service was amazing, and of course the food! The woman at the counter (I assume Suzie) was so kind and helpful, you could really tell she loves what she does and loves helping people be able to enjoy food again! Another really important thing to add was her pricing! I'm so used to being up charged so much for gluten free food and she kept everything as affordable as possible which I really appreciated! 1000000/10!!!
