I ordered a tiramisu and it was dry and had a filling on the top that was pure cheese. I ordered another items and was charged for the tiramisu which was not edible. Cashier said it was not refundable and it's a "special recipe" he was full of it.

Ok! Now yah know I am an avid pastry and dessert lover. So I saw this little shop in Jersey and I said I must try their desserts.Now the store is small but the cashier is friendly and knowledgeable of the variety of selections.Now let’s start with my most favorite dessert:1. Flan: this one surprised me. I thought it was going to be bland but it was delicious not tooo overly sweet and the consistency was great.2.the Crème brûlée cheesecake: ? ? you can do with out!!! It is not worth it. I prefer the custard.3.pavlova (pictured) is delicious it’s one of my favorite desserts as a little girl. Only downside is it can do without the cream cheese topping they added on top. The pavlova by itself with some fruits it’s delicious.4. Strawberry shortcake ? - this store has one of the best!!! It’s delicious and creamy!!

Also posted a picture but this place is not as advertised. I ordered through door dash the cake was extremely dry like very dry and my cake was missing a candy part that was supposed to come on top, all I got was crumbs.will not order from again. I’m not really into sweets but had a big sweet tooth and was really looking forward to enjoying his new place very disappointed

I stopped in one day to satisfy a sweet tooth, and the helpful gentleman behind the counter suggested the cheesecake, tres leches, and vanilla heaven cakes. I took home a slice of each and my husband and I devoured them. I loved the vanilla heaven so much that I went back the next to day to order one for my mother's birthday (with strawberries on top, this time). Everybody at her party raved about how authentically fresh and "homemade" (i.e. not processed) the cake tasted. Ev

Hi Gov! Maria & Carmen here...we're definitely coming back! Tiramisu and coffee were extremely delicious, fresh and tasty! The ambiance was very nice and cozy and you are such an amazing host!

Mediocre at best. Cakes are rubbery, dry, and generally bland. Creams are waxy and the mousse is … acceptable? Overpriced for quality you receive and think there are many better places you can get a fantastic/divine dessert for the same price or less

I don't know if it was for everything or nothing that I deviated from Bloomfield Avenue to enter Vanilla Heaven. I seem to attract attention and I'm always seeking places of refuge. So on a whim I ventured into a new place. They had four types of ice cream and I ordered a most delicious chocolate chip. Being a friendly guy I started to sing and talk a little. Soon I was engaged in conversation with Ari. In comfort on the black couches I slowly consumed my ice cream. I asked about the business and he told me that there is far more to the place then simply what I saw. He said that they do wedding cakes which they have for pick up and delivery. I promised Ari that I would do this review. They're good people and I make a habit of supporting fine establishments in Montclair when I find them. They have coffee Frappe whatever that is. Sounds enticing and the next time I visit I will take a curious taste. The young lady I met working there was the owner's daughter which really impressed me. All in all Vanilla Heaven is an all American store (in the good sense of a Woody Guthrie America) and in my opinion the best ice cream. I know there are other fine establishments in Montclair but this one you can actually walk to while one does their shopping and such in the area. Check em out and allow them to show you what they got. And hey, I do such fine writing. you tell Ari that you want me to write you a personal poem, wedding vows, etc. he's got my contact information. Most seriously my wife is suffering from dementia and anything that distracts me from that is a pleasant escape. Ari made me feel like family in a few minutes. He was kind, respectful, polite and he has a skill that so many are lacking, he is a good listener.

My husband and I ordered 2 of the banana cake a triple chocolate mousse cup and an Oreo milkshake and the only thing that was good was the milkshake. The cake was so dry and stale as if it was on its way to expire we couldn’t even finish it. The cake pieces on top of the mousse was dry and the consistency of the mousse was thick and gelatinous not soft and creamy how I expected mousse to taste. If you have a sweet tooth this will not crave it. Vanilla heaven more like a taste buds hell. We ordered from door dash and I must say it was a total waste of 32 dollars
I stumbled upon Vanilla Heaven when I needed a lady minute cake for my wife's birthday. They were fantastic! The cake was fantastic the service was fantastic and they delivered it to me on a day that they were closed. I will recommend them to everyone I know and will go back again and again. Fantastic!We had the Red Velvet cake.

Great customer service & this cake is delicious!?

Delicious!! My partner and I have been Looking for a place that has Pavlova's for forever. The fruit was fresh! The meringue was light and soooo tasty. We are so glad I found this place even if it's not perfect. I'm subtracting one star because I think they go a little too cream cheese heavy- traditionally I've had Pavlova's just made with whipped cream. It's still good but not quite right. A little too heavy in the middle where it should be more creamy and whipped. We also got the Pavlova cups and unfortunately didn't eat it right away. Warning it melts into the cream cheese so the meringue doesn't stay a crunchy meringue for very long. Still it took my craving away and still happy we found Vanilla Heaven.

I found this place on Yelp and called with a last-minute request for a birthday cake. They made a great recommendation, got it made in a few hours and had it ready right on time. And the cake itself was extraordinary. I highly recommend them.

Very great customer service. The man that greated us was so welcoming and informative about all of the desserts. It was so hard to pick which cake I wanted because they all look so good. It was also cool to see that they were open late unlike a lot of other bakeries.
