What People Are Saying
from Google"I’ve been to Lilla Vanilla many times over the years so this review was a long time coming! Raspberry flavored items from LV are god tier. I literally go in and ask what they have left that’s raspberry flavored - never fails. If that’s your favorite flavor like mine, Raspberry Croissant, Raspberry Cruffin, and mostly recently the Raspberry Crunchy (picture included) are just the best. The Berry Flavored Croissant Roll is also great (the croissant roles are pretty cool and you can order online for pickup for those - they are really big by the way!) I have brought the GF Cupcakes for a birthday party in the past (birthday girl was GF) and she said they were great - she said they tasted like a traditional cupcake! I can’t remember what those fancy glassy looking cakes are called, but I bought one in the past for a holiday party (it was a beautiful pumpkin.) It was filled with chocolate mouse (or a very delicate and whipped type of cake in any case) it was a big hit at the thanksgiving party - people thought it was a table decoration LOL. Lastly, big fan of the Dubai chocolate bar - very fresh tasting ingredients! Follow the bakery on insta b/c they will sometimes announce available flavors/deadlines/new stuff."
"I recently made the trip to Lilla Vanilla to try the viral “Crunchies” for my daughter and her friends. We were excited because we’ve seen the hype online and really wanted to support a woman-owned local business. The crunchies themselves are definitely unique and fun to try. Some flavors we loved (the raspberry was our favorite!), and others just weren’t our taste – but that’s really a personal preference thing. They’re definitely something you try for the experience! I hate to say anything negative, but I’m going to give an honest review. The only thing that took away from the visit was the service. There were only two people ahead of me getting just a few items (one just got a single cupcake,) but I ended up waiting about 20 minutes before I even got to the counter. It wasn’t busy, but the pace of the employees (and there were several in there) was very slow. Also, the person at the counter (not the owner or her daughter) was pretty short and didn’t come across as very friendly. I asked one question and felt like I was bothering her, even when I was placing my order she seemed annoyed. I promise you, I was very kind and friendly while ordering… smiled and said hello when I got to the counter and she was just irritated. That said, the bakery itself is very cute, and I love supporting a small woman-owned business. The kids enjoyed doing the taste test together even if we probably won’t buy the crunchies again. I definitely recommend trying them at least once, especially if you’ve been curious or are looking for a fun little dessert experience!"
"We showed up, they prefer the line to go to the right of the display case away from the door. The younger daughter of the owner is a little bit more straightforward with her interactions. However, the owner and the male attendant were very nice and helping us out. We got one of everything total game to a little over $150. The food was very good and I would go back there."
"Great sweets and bakery shop. I can handle only one pastry at a time but there is so much to choose from. The blueberry lemon cake is delicious and sweet."
"Came here for the viral crunchy fruit desserts. The crunch and the flavors did not disappoint! It also seems like they change up some the flavors, which is inspiration for me to return for more. Will definitely be coming back for more and hopefully try other desserts they make!"
