    Vanille is home to a selection of seasonal entremets—mousse cakes—which are staples at French patisseries but less common in the U.S.

    Cakes are good but American, don't go there if you really look for refinement. Champaign cake was nice but I had better ones

    I gave this place a try on two separate occasions, both of which were disappointing. Prices are a slap in the face. I love the character, but at least make it reasonable...

    The sushi is good, but the fries and the crepes are better. And don't skip LavAzza, because it blows Starbucks away, forever.
