Reviews of La Vanilla Bean (Bakery)

Panda Bear

Coffee isn't bad. Pastries are...ok

G Doss

Great place

Greg Insley

Fantastic Mexican chocolate.

Adam Bostrom

The sandwhiches were tastey but I feel it is too pricey for what you get. Everything is a la carte so it adds up quickly. I bought two sandwhiches two drinks and two bags of chips and I was over $30. There are no kids sizes or choices so if I would have brought my whole family I would have spent $50 easily for sandwhiches. I gave it 4 stars because the sandwhiches are yummy. Hopefully they can bring down the prices so I would want to come back.

The gentleman working their this morning made me the most delightful mocha ever! I will most definitely be back just for that. Their baked goods looked fantastic as well. Yum- ✌️

I stumbled in here by accident. Had a miscommunication meeting up for coffee. I like this snug little place. Plenty of room but still that comfortable snug feel. I had standard coffee which was decent. Most appreciated the good-natured staff who patiently pointed me to another coffee shop where a friend waited.

Nice cafe with a great pastry and drink selection. We got the pineapple kiwi scone (really good!) and cream puff. Good place to stop in for a quick bite.

Nevaeh Ledin

Delicious tuna fish sandwich and cute worker. Very dedicated, because when I left my bag there on accident, he ran down the street to give it back so 5 star for all of it food and employment ☺

Robert Dixon

Good coffee and excellent pastries. Once again Google scored a home run recommendation. Would have never found this place without Google directions. The service was friendly and the pastry is outstanding. Really recommend stopping by.

Good food good coffee what else do you need?

Kurt Eidam

Where good pastries

John Patton

Great food, great coffee, great service

Clint Collins

Their tomato soup is amazing. We also haven't tried any of their baked goods that we didn't love. If you are downtown Idaho Falls this is a great place for breakfast, lunch, or a treat.

Jessica Pettet

The food is delicious here (I personally recommend the house chai with cinnamon) and you can taste the quality. Beyond that the atmosphere is wonderful, a great place to sit and read or get some work done!

Britain Schiner

Home made crossaints are flakey and delicious, and great coffee.

Kaley Beausoleil

This is my favorite coffee shop in town. They are the only place that has consistently served awesome cappuccinos. Their food menu is simple and very good. And the pastries are the best! The owners are foodies and take a lot of pride in making everything perfect. They are also big supporters of other small local businesses. I'm very happy to call Vanilla Bean my new favorite spot.

Rich Pfaff

Great coffee and monkey bread

Chrissy N

Really kind employees and wonderful food.

Kalletta Caldwell

Walked by, stopped in. Amazing croissants and what a variety of coffees. Glad we stopped by as we drove through Idaho Falls.

Jimmy Nix

5 star prices for 3 star pastries.

Francine Rice

I am seriously addicted to this place. Everything about it...the pastries, the coffee, breakfasts, lunches...hopefully there is never an intervention to force me to break the habit. My loved ones would miss me.

Tom Hitt

Elijah Burden

By far my favorite coffee shop in town. Pastries are second to none, as is the service.

T.J. Morton

The croissants at La Vanilla Bean are some of the best I’ve had - light, flaky, and tasty. The folks, who run the place, are kind, outgoing, and efficient. Plus, they make a good espresso!

Stephen Tomasello

Very nice very nice right downtown Idaho Falls

Tom Walton

Best Chai in Town

cody elkington

Cofee is amazing! Staff is amazing! And the breakfast burrito is outstanding! Not so hot it burns you to eat but warm enough you don't feel like it's going to get cold. Hidden gem ind Downtown Idaho Falls!

They aren't afraid to try new things and still supply your favorites. Everything with a croissant is amazingly delicious!

Ivyy Smith

Very friendly and helpful! Make wonderful Chai Tea!!!

Kameron Wiech

Stopped in while playing Pokemon Go and grabbed a coffee while asking for directions. Excellent service and very good coffee. Very friendly staff and was a clean location. Downtown parking is what it is though.

A.J. Weinhold

Personable service, a delightful assortment of fresh bakery, a diverse beverage menu (this is the Mexican mocha), and a cozy atmosphere. Great place to stop for coffee in downtown Idaho Falls. Based on the number of regulars coming in, I'm not the only one who knows that.

Kat n Dog named Thirsty

The kid that served me knows how to make great lattes and I'm sure everything else they are served here.

Chris

Went out to catch up with a friend, first time visit and was amazed with customer service, and quality of food and their coffee!

B.J. Park

Cupcakes are cupcakes, same thing for half the cost almost anywhere else in town.

It's a nice little coffee shop. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Coffee was made to order

Over priced

James McGrane

Good coffee and pastries!

Patricia Leal-Garcia

Great pastries, coffee and sandwiches. Cool vibe and the music is always good.

K Stiens

I ordered an iced latte. It was a fine iced latte, although the coffee flavor was a bit light. That could just be me though.

Shannon Meacham

Lovely pastries and coffee. Disappointing ambiance and hours (close early and Sundays).

Beau Barker

Great little coffee shop!

Ethan Wolfie

Good food but it pricey

Diana Ferguson

Very disappointing! The americano and iced tea were extremely watery and flavorless. The employees appeared lackadaisical. The sandwich was pretty good, however. Overpriced.

heidi jensen

Cute little shop. Got the lemon bar, mocha frappe, and Mexican mocha. Yum. Great for a birthday.

Kirsten Plowman

Excellent pastry case filled with European style pastry, good hot coffee, and helpful staff.

Theresa Eaman - Vocalist

I really enjoyed my stop into this small but cute coffee shop. I wanted to try their pastries, but had just finished breakfast elsewhere. I can say that everything in the pastry case looked fantastic, and the people around me were enjoying their treats. I had a delicious chai latte that was well prepared. It was served hot, and the froth was the perfect temperature and consistency. Service was fast and efficient and the decor is quite lovely and creates a relaxing environment. My friend ordered a chocolate croissant and said it was as good as ones she has had in France. The next time I go, I will be trying their quiche as it looked absolutely decadent. I would highly recommend a visit to la vanilla bean if you are a connoisseur of coffee and/or pastries!

Clade Ward

Hands down the best bakery in Idaho!!!!

J Martin

Lunch at La Vanilla Bean...a great idea by my great wife!! Turkey sandwich and a Magic Bar... Perfect!

Shiloe Goodliffe

Amazing atmosphere, gorgeous and delicious treats, friendly staff!! I have become a regular!

Casey Pullar

Love the biscuits and gravy

Cory Parton

Great coffee and friendly people.

James Tompkins

Seems like a decent coffee shop/bakery, but I do have one bone to pick with them about their "Kolache" offering. As a recent transplant I was excited to see one of my favorite Czech breakfast foods available. I had to visit on 3 separate occasions before being able to sample their take on this (normally) delicious treat, but what I received, I would never have called a kolache in my wildest dreams. Instead of a sweet, yeast risen dough with a pool of fresh fruit puree or cream cheese in the middle, I was served some sort of puff pastry/croissant roll with the edges curled and pink strawberry icing (like on a doughnut for goodness sakes) slapped on the top. Vanilla Bean, please correct this severe bakery misnomer by either taking this abomination off of your menu or changing the name.

Tina

THE best coffee out here. THE BEST pastries ANYWHERE! Plus!!!!...Eric makes THE best clam chowder EVER. (But so far-I’ve only seen it once on the menu—hint hint Eric). And the best plus of all, is that everyone there ROCKS. And it’s a pretty chill atmosphere too.

Jezmynne Dene

Super friendly people and great beverages! Nice table area and bright, clean windows to watch the day unfold.

Alan Hanley

Best place for breakfast not to far from the river walk. Only open breakfast and lunch. "This is worth getting out of bed for." Always gotta stop.

Abelardo Herrera

Fantastic place great people and wonderful food.

Tina Dixon

BEST breakfast burritos in town!

Stephanie Sandbek

Great service and delicious breakfast croissants.

Jason Bunting

Omg... The ham and pesto pannini was to die for. I wish I had taken a picture but it was too delicious and it is now gone.

Samuel breland

Delicious coffee and friendly staff. I don't get coffee anywhere else

Kate Reed

Fresh made pastries. Yes yes yes

Lauren Smart

La Vanilla Bean, is so super amazingly yummy! Everything there is amazing including the staff! If your looking for the best place in town to get coffee and even croissants and more this is my number one! Check it out! It is so worth it!

Jeremy Moss

I absolutely love their coffee (favorite is Mexican Mocha), and their food is always best tasting. I love their bfast burritos and lemon bars. I also appreciate they are very well-staffed (quality and quantity). Everyone there is super helpful and care about what they're doing. And there's enough people there to keep things moving along without having to have customers waiting too long. Thanks keep up the good work!

Cam Dev

Great coffee. The people that work there are great people. The beer is awesome. I've literally shut that place down and they didn't even tell us. We were just hanging out drinking beer and coffee and they just let us do our thing way past closing. Super cool. We hang out here a lot and love it. Highly recommended

Mariah Walt

Lori Cleverly

Great food and service. They brought our food to us. You can tell they really care about the customer and having a great experience. Great place for locals and visitors!

Brendan Watkins

I'd have given this place even more stars if I could! I stopped by for a birthday treat tonight and was treated like royalty. My brother had called ahead and told them it was my birthday, so they had the cake waiting for us, which was excellent. As we were eating, we were each offered a cup of hot cocoa on the house, and they again wished me a happy birthday. As we wrapped up the cake and cocoa, we were again each offered a pastry of our choice on the house and I was wished a happy birthday again! Absolutely outstanding customer service and top notch pastries and cocoa!
