Beautiful cafe with lovely decor. We ordered 2 chocolate almond croissants and 2 drinks. The croissants were one of the best I’ve ever had! Both the drinks were delicious too. Will deffo return 😊
Really lovely local bakery that uses high quality ingredients. Owner is very friendly and has, at request, made orders for me to pick up before. Service and food is always great. Will always consider coming here for a nice cake and a drink.
☀️ Monday brunch break at @bakesbyvanillabean in Wakefield— much-needed stop in that heatwave. Went for an iced mocha and iced pistachio latte (both hit the spot), with a pistachio banana loaf and their buttery biscoff croissant. Sweet, nutty, and just right after a sunny walk. If you’re after cool cafés in Wakefield, pop this one on your list. By fishenjoylife
It’s a very small cafe and was busy at the time so we had to sit in the corridor near the toilets (which wasn’t great :/ ) Coffee was nice but not very hot! If you like it hot I would recommend asking for extra hot. The pastries looked amazing although we didn’t try them. Maybe if we had managed to get one of the few tables we may have tried them.
Lovely, great cake and lovely staff. The coffee was really well made. Me and my toddler felt very welcome and we played happily while enjoy our cake for 40 minutes. Would definitely come back.
