Vanilla Lounge is an Oakleigh institution who has just sweetened the deal with a next level dessert bar directly opposite. It’s a choose your own adventure dessert paradise… and Mamma is obsessed. 

Their floor to ceiling terrazzo store houses a selection of 8 frozen yoghurts, ice creams and açai as well as a display case filled to the brim with bakery classics you can choose as a base - think croissants, doughnuts, cookies, cruffins and waffles *drool*. 

But your choices do not end there, with over 60 toppings available at their self-serve counter, your options are endless… and they are some pretty wild options at that. 

Mamma’s not talking about your traditional strawberries, m&ms and granola (though they are also available). We’re talking maple bacon, french fries, a variety of cakes, gnocchi donuts and a blue sauce that Mamma can only describe as “galactic”.

With cabinets filled with other Vanilla classics like mini tarts, macarons and profiteroles, this is a dessert lover’s dream. 

Mamma’s hot tip - like other frozen yogurt stores, this place is a weigh and pay, so keep a close eye on the kids serving themselves before you have to remortgage the house.
