vanilla dessert bar, oakleigh
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 lovers 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.
Mamma’s special mention
Warrawee Park Playground is just a short walk away if the kids need to run off that sugar rush.
