Vanilla Cakes and Lounge

This place is rated highly, and for very good reason. The moment you enter you are greeting by friendly staff and guided to a table. There is the traditional ordering system, or a QR code on the table to order if you wish. The moussaka was the perfect size and absolutely delicious. Simple ingredients, but bold flavour. Reminded me of exactly how my nan makes it, absolutely delicious. The eggs Benedict was also fantastic value for money. The eggs perfectly poached and hollandaise sauce buttery. The coffee was also excellent as expected in Oakleigh and the perfect temperature. I try to visit at least once ever Melbourne trip and was not disappointed at all. They offer late opening hours and cater to the after dinner dessert and coffee late at night. We would absolutely return.

My go to for a casual catch up with friends for dinner, coffee and cake. The team are always super friendly and always make room for you. The cake selection is unrivalled in the local area and always fresh. They make a great coffee too.

We just has our sons christening here upstairs in the function area 155 guests on the weekend that just passed and wow!! So glad we held it there, Vicki and all the staff were fantastic! Very accommodating and the food was plentiful and very good! All my relos and friends were coming up to me telling me how much of a good time they had! The cake also from Vanilla dealing with the other amazing Vicki was exactly what I was after and tasted fantastic! Thanks again for making my sons christening so special!

A good place to dine with friends and family. High-quality food and great service, friendly staff. Went there for dinner with family. Enjoyed our meals. Would definitely try again!

It's certainly my number one Greek restaurant in Melbourne! I've been several times to Vanilla and I mostly had a good experience. It's located in a bustling venue close to public transport. The staff have always been friendly and welcoming. We never had to wait too long for our orders to arrive. They have a rich menu and it's reasonably priced. My favourite dish is their moussaka! They also have a wide range of cakes. The raffaello cake is my favourite one! It has a cosy atmosphere and a modern design. It can really be busy and hard to find a table at times but usually you don't have to wait long until a table becomes available. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!

When there is a line for a table, you know the restaurant is going to be good. The staff were great, so friendly! The food was amazing, loved the cocktails and the desserts were delicious. Cannot wait to go back.

Delicious coffee and quality cakes and slices. Ibgmhad the Mars Bar slice, and 5o be honest it could have been half the size. It was a 3 × 3, and was so rich. It complemented to coffee superbly. A very happening place with a strong night life.

Love this place. Visit here on a monthly basis to catch up with friends. Food is amazing, staff are so friendly, and even though they are super busy on Friday and Saturday nights, we've never had to wait long for our meals. Definitely a restaurant to visit .

I've had an amazing experience here, the balance between the sweet jam and thick cream makes the pannacotta my favorite. Simple yet delightful. All the other cakes are pretty good and most of them taste really close to those I've tried back in Italy. Staff was friendly and did some amazing job in recommending some of the cakes. I will definitely recommend and visit again!

Good food, good cakes and good coffee. Customer service needs to be worked on maybe waiters need to be in charge of sections due to sometimes its hard to call for a waiter but understandable due to probable staff reductions due to pandemic.
