    What can I say, I read the reviews and thought I must see for myself. Does it live up to the hype..... NO! The coffee was burnt and over expressed, very dissapointing!

    Average coffee, mixed up our order but were apologetic and fixed it quickly.

    The little cafe that could.

    Vanilla on Church is exactly like that little engine that could. They struggle with delivering consistently good coffee, and waiting times for food during busy periods can span the length of a Sunday Telegraph, but they continue chug along.

    Lovely coffee, friendly staff and good service. Everything about the inside of this cafe is appealing. Unfortunately it is let down by the branded plastic furniture out the front. This cafe has everything going for it but the outside furniture makes it look cheap.

    Vanilla on Church is by far my favourite cafe in Terrigal. The staff are always friendly and the food and coffee is consistently good. Top 3 meals to order in my opinion are srambled eggs on turkish, the chicken wrap and the baked ricotta and pumkin salad. They are also licenced now so you can... Read more

    Vanilla on Church is easily the best cafe in Terrigal, and probably on the Central Coast. Coffee is full of flavour and made to perfection - obviously by a trained barista. Service is the perfect balance of friendly and professional. There is something on the menu for everyone. My favourite is the... Read more

    Cafe in a nice location with lots of outdoor plastic seating. I chose to get a coffee here because they use Segafredo beans but unfortunately they did not do the beans justice. I had a double shot flat white and it was overpowered by milk.

    The only cafe to go to in Terrigal is Vanilla on Church. By far the best food, coffee and service in town. The chicken piadina is my fav along with the pumpkin ricotta salad. Coffee is smooth and tasty and the group of staff are always friendly and postive. Returning customer...for sure!

    As a local I have been visiting Vanilla for several years for a quick lunch stop. I enjoy the personal friendly service from the staff who take customer service seriously. The owners seem to choose the staff carefully.
    The coffee is consistently good. The menu is not extensive but I always... Read more

    Vanilla was a pleasant surprise with excellent coffee and great friendly service. Pleasant compared to many other establishments in Terrigal where the service is sometimes really substandard.
    Sandra and Adrian are the owners and take a real interest to ensure that the entire experience is... Read more

    Trust Vanilla to deliver; you can't go past the best. Myself and husband have been fortunate to enjoy Sandra and Adrian's hospitality and delightful delicious meals and great coffee since they opened their doors in Terrigal. A cafe infused with big hearts. If you really want a magical experience... Read more

    This cafe never disappoints, with a relaxed and mature atmosphere and personal service where you’re never treated as table number. The menu stands alone from standard cafe food and is prepared and presented with a touch of class. The chocolate brownies are amazing.

    Having spent the past two weeks in Terrigal for our Summer vacation we had the opportunity to sample the many cafe's in town. We found this one to be the best.The coffee was always consistent and by day two they had memorised both our coffees. Our favourite breakfast was the Famished Florentine!... Read more

    The town is full of coffee shops selling trendy boutique coffees, most of which I don't like. Vanilla uses Segafredo, one of my favourites, and the quality is consistently good.

    The food is top quality too, better thought-out and more up-market than most of the coffee shops (for... Read more

    Service was great, really accommodating for children. My son's chocolate cake was delicious. The double rizzi latte was okay, not the best on the coast but how do you really qualify that? Try it yourself Randomdave :)
