My daughter enjoyed this cafe and while we were having a mommy-and-me time. I loved that the excitement of the holidays was not only mine but hers too. This place provided a calm and relaxed environment where we enjoyed the Christmas songs, delicious cookies, and cream pastry.

Hazel’s selection was a mouth-melting chocolate chip cookie which was fully approved by her. Come experience Vanilla Village Cafe for yourself and make a new memory this holiday season.
