Vanilla Bean Gourmet - Chaguanas

5 starts all around. Food was good, service was good, atmosphere was good. They even have a nice small craft area and some local snack pastries. Staff was very nice.

Lovely ambience, friendly staff, efficient service, good food, great coffee. What's not to enjoy! On Monroe Road before Chaguanas so expect traffic but it's worth the visit. It's relaxing and they offer wonderful tea shop options. Reservations are not necessary but Saturdays can get búsy.

Love this little spot. It's very unassuming from outside but go in, settle down with your coffee and chat away. The space invites you to relax.

Was not able eat at the location and was told to wait in the car for the food. I saw everyone receive their food in a lovely brown bag while I got mine in plastic bag. My child wanted to buy a cookie and we were told those are not for sale. We felt like we were not wanted at the place.

An elegant and comfortably-styled café. We were in the area running some errands and decided to pop in. We were greeted at the entrance and seated. We ordered a quick bite, which included: 1 Blueberry Danish 1 Chicken Puff 1 Butter Pecan Latté 1 English Toffee Latté The pastries were delicious. The lattes were satisfying, but the toffee and butter pecan flavors were not distinctive. The overall cost was $117.00. The customer service was good in terms of their efficiency. With regards to warmth and friendliness; those were lacking. I surmised that the staff members were possibly having a bad day as they didn't seem to smile at any of the guests while there. Overall, it was a good experience. I look forward to visiting again soon to try items from their breakfast menu.
