Farine & Vanille is described as a welcoming spot for good coffee and excellent pastries, with friendly staff, great lattes, croissants, babkas, breads, and fair prices shaping a consistently positive experience; visitors highlight the Cortado as a surprisingly elevated option and note the bakery's aroma and bright mornings as part of the routine, as well as a cozy small setting that feels relaxing despite the busy pace. The reviews highlight reliable service, multiple mentions of standout baked goods like croissants and cinnamon rolls, and frequent returns by locals and visitors who enjoy the variety of inhouse breads, especially baguette offerings, with many calling it a favorite post run treat. There are a few critiques in French that point to occasional inconsistencies in coffee quality, service variance, and a perception of uneven experiences in the space, but the overall mood remains that Farine & Vanille offers an independent and refreshing cafe experience. Overall, the place comes across as a dependable, approachable bakery cafe with strong pastries, solid coffee options, and a welcoming vibe that keeps people coming back.
I stopped by after a recommendation by the pharmacy team across from this place. A pleasant welcome with lovely smell of fresh pastries, the scent of coffee & smiling staff. My order was for hot chocolate & it was stellar! I will be back, keep up your originality & stay independent, it's a refreshing experience.
An ideal post-run treat! Fantastic pastries, space for seating, & the friendliest staff you could ask for. Made our Saturday run even better. Will be back!
Faites attention lorsque vous prenez une sandwich pour emporter & ne laissez pas de tip, le serveur dissimule le cure-dent dans votre sandwich pour se venger. Le cure-dent était à l'horizontal & enfouis dans la garniture. & you guys need to learn french.
This shop was down the block from our air bnb & we went every morning. The croissants, cappuccinos & cortados were consistently better than any others we tried. Always had friendly service too!
Been coming here for a while now during some of my morning walks & it never disappoints! Amazing vibe & extremely friendly staff! They have amazing croissants & babkas & recently had an amazing savoury danoisw from here. Without fail, their brownie is always something that we have regularly..it's the best in town! Today though, the big revelation was the Cortado! Usually I get the Americano which is fantastic but I tried the Cortado & it was at a whole different level! Might be my new favourite drink!

The best baguette I've ever had! By 2 p.m., it was all gone. We were late, but the coffee was good. We asked for butter to have with the baguette, & they were so nice to give it to us. We enjoyed it!
Went back from France, ordered 1 croissant - got out with 2 pastries … (+croissant was so good as usual)
Feels good to be back home

Absolutely amazing !!!! Garlic baguette wow buttery croissants wow. Lady serving me was super super nice !!! I think she might be the owner. Next time im in the area definitely coming back . God Bless !!!
A nice bakery/café with exceptional quality goods. My chocolatine was immaculately flaky & puffy, you can tell right away by the size. Variety wasn't big but didn't need to be. Prices are within reasonable range.
Cette boulangerie fait de bon produits, très mauvais cafés peu importe le choix ce sera une erreur. Le service est représentatif d'un boulanger qui n'est pas capable de trancher son pain... Après avoir charcuter un pain & que le quart soit rester dans la machine. Je me fais offrir 10% de rabais en ayant droit au commentaire que c'est impossible de trancher ce pain... J'y achetais ce pain durant les 3-4 dernières années. Parler en français n'est aucunement important pour l'entièreté de l'équipe sauf un seul jeune homme qui offre un bon service. Mais une personne dans une boulangerie avec du coeur au ventre fini par ne plus paraître quand les autres maillons de la chaîne son si faible. J'avais l'habitude d'y dépenser 25$ par semaine soit 1200$ par année & je n'y mettrai plus jamais les pieds. Je ne suis certainement pas le seul. Après avoir vu une femme enceinte se faire refuser l'accès à la salle de bain alors que c'est 100% illégal de le faire mais surtout amoral..... Je vous souhaite de faire un grand ménage car l'entreprise coule. Plusieurs locaux vous ont delaissés.
