The Vanilla Bean Cafe

Such a good experience stopping by this cafe for lunch today! The food was delicious and satisfying, the service was prompt and with a smile, and the atmosphere was cozy with a bunch of opportunities for natural light. I especially enjoyed the matcha latte (perfect balance of sweet and richness) and the brownie (fudgey and oh so chocolatey). I want to come back to try more items on the menu!

Stopped by the Village Bean Café in Pomfret, CT, and we loved it! My grandkids ordered the cinnamon bun, apple blossom, and cherry cheesecake and all were delicious. The cashier was so kind, offered to warm everything up, and even brought it right to our table. The locals who eat there are friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. They also buy local for their special menus, which makes everything taste fresh and supports the community. Plus, they host great weekend shows with open mic nights, Irish music, and poetry readings — adding to the warm, small-town charm. A cozy spot with amazing food, friendly faces, and a wonderful atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

The Vanilla Bean Cafe offers a variety of lunch options, as well as desserts & coffee. I had the turkey & bacon sandwich, which was simple, tasty, & made with fresh ingredients. I didn’t try the desserts, but I did order a maple cinnamon iced latte - unfortunately it was fairly bitter and not something I would get again

This quiet corner self serving is quaint in it's atmosphere. Portions as smaller compared to other home style restaurants and higher prices as they outsource from local private food services. Quality is good, well seasoned home fried herbs with potato and onions. Loving the quality comfortable spots and great place for coffee.

11.29.24 This is at least my 5th visit, and I love it here. There's always something new. There's always something traditional, and there's always comfort food. The coffee is hot, and the desserts are amazing. Today, we tried the bison burger, the turkey avocado sandwich, the carrot cake, and my fave, the peanut pie. Indoor and outdoor dining (weather permitting) You walk up and order your food, get your own coffee/tea and they bring you your food to your table.
