Vanilla Cakes & Pastries

The food here is so good! We got the cannolis (amazing!!!) and my son loved their star shaped cookies half dipped in chocolate. I got a Dubai bar for my neighbor who had surgery - they all loved it too. The service was great even though they were busy and a nice gentleman who seemed like a regular let us go in front of him. I liked how you could see all of the items in the case so I could point things out to my son. Overall, we can't wait to go back. I wish we would have taken pictures of everything, but it was gone too fast!

Needed a cake fast, called it in and he said he would hold a cake for me vanilla. I came in and what a great little find in Hilliard. Very nice man behind the counter, the owner I assume. Three-layer cake, made with a touch of strawberry in the middle, whip cream topping. Oh... everyone devoured the cake!! He saved the day, birthday I meant. Will be back for sure.

Food was good, however, the young girl kept rolling her eyes and expressing her annoyance through her body language. There was only 1 person ahead of me and she was helping them, when it was my turn I asked her if they sell the baklava by pieces instead of buying only 1 type by the pound. She rolled her eyes ignored my question and she called for the male worker in the back which he helped me and was very nice about it and explained that it was by the pound one type which was fine. I figured it was a language barrier with the girl so I didn't mind till while I was being helped she started helping another customer who walked in and was speaking English and still rolling her eyes and acting annoyed. So with the exception of the girl it was a pleasant experience.

So many delicious pastries that are locally made! Came in for a tray of baklava. Most of it was pistachio flavored. But it was still very delicious!!!! Would come again

I am usually very picky with baklavas, but Vanilla is easily my favorite baklava place in Columbus. They have a wide selection of baklavas as well as pastries. During our visit to the store, we tried several different types of the baklavas, and while all were tasty and fresh, my personal favorite was the Turkish baklava. We also tried a few of the pastries, some of which were unique (e.g., the Kit Kat topped chocolate cake). The cakes were just ok to me. I cannot wait to go back to Vanilla for their other baklava options in the future.

Ordered several items from Vanilla Cakes & Pastries in Hilliard. Got the Nutella Cake & Strawberry Cake. The Nutella cake had a top layer of hard chocolate , chocolate cake, I believe Nutella crème and chocolate cake. Delicious!!! The Strawberry Cake was a scrumptious Strawberry glaze on top, vanilla cake, vanilla cream and chocolate cake on the bottom. OMG!!!!! So tasty. Not for the faint of heart. Super tasty!!! Don't miss out.

The young man running this Turkish style bakery is sweet as he can be and proud of his products. Just remember that most of the rest of the world does not make desserts as sweet as we do. I had never had "milk cake" before and it was interesting. Try this place a couple times and work through the menu to find what you like. I will be visiting more.

This place has really good high quality sweets, cake, baklava, Turkish baklava, and other pastries. Everything they make is delicious, and they have a lot of variety. Prices are reasonable. Eclair and Canoli were around $3.50, kunafa big slice for $5. Just a few small tables and chairs, more just a carry out place.

most authentic dessert I have tasted in a long time. Dont make a mistake by missing out on delicious dessert made by great people who love what they do.

Wow, we are so impressed by the wonderful treats at Vanilla Sweets & Bakery! A wonderful variety of selections. We love love love the pistachio cake, moist and fluffy, almost like a tres leches cake... tons of flavors in one go! Turkish delights are wonderful with freshly brewed tea. It takes you to another place with the beautiful flavors and texture. Cannoli is creamy and crunchy at the same time. We look forward to trying different kinds of baklava with family and friends tomorrow, and will definitely come back for more. Thank you for the hospitality!------These are the most delicious pastries! We also had great conversations because of these scrumptious desserts.... Do not miss the opportunity for a real treat!
