Really enjoyed Vanilla Street Bakery in Laguna Hills. I got an Americano and the ham and cheese croissant, and both were excellent. The coffee was smooth, and the croissant was fresh, flaky, and full of flavor. Definitely worth stopping by.

My experience with the new management was very good. The employees are nice and respectful, but keep track of your order so they bring everything out to you. Prices are not cheap but not extremely expensive either. Even if they are high, the quality of the food is worth it. Everything was delicious and id be lying if I said otherwise. I recommend the mango tea, hot coco, and honey cake. I was very satisfied with my order and earned points (for which I received another treat for free). If you want something to be brought first then ask. You can sit anywhere, but beware the space isn’t spacious. It’s a bit of a tight fit but very cozy and there is an outdoor seating option too. The decorations are pleasant and aesthetic so if you want to take pictures they will look beautiful. My family says the coffee was delicious. I have been happy the last 2 times I was here but not before when it was under different owners. I think this is a very nice improvement and I will be coming back often. I am a picky person about service and about food, so my praise is genuine. Parking was good and I had no trouble. It even has a bathroom which was very neat and clean.

You know that small intimate place for brunch or coffee and pastries, that's out of the way and not crowded by tourism? That place where you and your close friends can go relax and still be able to hear each other talk without leaning in or turning up your voice? Of course you don't...you're in OC! But I promise you this place IS the exception. Tucked away, a simple unassuming store front, near absolutely nothing beach-related. A place for ordinary every day. Still well appointed. And the food all made in-house!

Visited this place and loved it, all the food is made of great ingredients, you can feel that it’s freshly made food, big filling portions. I ordered sunrise skillet, farmers cheese pancakes, arugula beet salad and lots of sweets, got black currant macaroon as a gift! Service is great, very welcoming, helpful and friendly staff. Loved every single item I got, definitely would like to come back. Highly recommended!

Such a cute spot! They have a lovely spread of pastries and coffee options. We had the cheesecake (SOOO decadent and smooth), Dubai macaron (light, sweet and a nice touch of knafe, chocolate and pistachio) and a chai latte and reg latte that were both delicious! Vibes and music were also 10/10. Excited to come back and try more!

Loved this place! Sad that I’m not from here, I would come here everyday. Farmers cheese pancakes were delicious and raf coffee was really good. Staff is also very nice and happy to help, they explained all ingredients one by one. They definitely love what they are doing!

Vanilla Street Bakery is an absolute gem. Everything is fresh, beautifully made, and full of flavor. You can really tell they care about quality and consistency. The pastries are perfectly balanced—not overly sweet—and the presentation is just as good as the taste. On top of that, the staff is welcoming and genuinely kind, which makes the whole experience even better. Easily a go-to spot when you want something special done right.

The best coffee place we’ve found in Orange County. After trying many spots in the area, this one stands out clearly—we visited five times in one week. The food is consistently very good, the coffee is excellent, and the pastries are outstanding—fresh and high quality. This has quickly become our go-to café. Highly recommended.

I stumbled upon this bakery and coffee shop for the first time today and it is truly a hidden gem. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and an almond cake, and both were phenomenal. The latte was easily one of the best iced vanilla lattes I’ve had. It was perfectly balanced, smooth, and not overly sweet. The almond cake was incredible as well, light, fluffy, and not too sweet. The service was also amazing. I ordered at the counter and sat at one of the little tables inside, and the sweetest girl brought my order out to me. She was so kind and welcoming. The inside of the café is adorable and has such a cozy atmosphere. I would absolutely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

I stopped by Vanilla Street Bakery and honestly feel like this place is such an underrated little gem. It’s a really cute bakery with lunch items, coffee/ tea, and a huge variety of sweet treats. Everything is made in-house, which I always appreciate, and the service was really friendly. I ordered three eggs, which weren’t pictured or listed on the menu, but they were able to make them for me. I also got a jasmine tea, which was delicious, along with two macarons: passionfruit and Snickers. The passionfruit macaron had a really nice flavor and I loved the ratio of cream to cookie, though the texture felt just slightly underbaked to me. The Snickers one was good too. Macarons are definitely tricky to perfect, and they had so many flavors that I honestly wanted to try all of them. I also tried the chocolate chip cookie. It wasn’t bad at all, and I can see some people really liking that style, but for me it was a little more crumbly/cakey than I usually prefer. I personally like a cookie with more chocolate chips, ideally semi-sweet or dark chocolate. That said, the flavor itself was good, and I loved the flaky sea salt on top, such a nice touch. Overall, I’m really glad I found this spot. It feels like one of those places people don’t know about yet, but should. I definitely plan on coming back to try more of their pastries, lunch items, and all the other macaron flavors.
