  • I bought my vanilla syrup when I was in Samoa in April but have only had the chance to use. It was beautiful spread over pancakes for breakfast this morning. Have used the vanilla extract for my baking. I ordered a second vanilla syrup on line and that is going in my suitcase for my son who lives in London. We’ll done Shelkey.

  • How lucky was I to be the 3,000th person to join your Facebook page and win a beautiful bottle of your Vaoala Vanilla (Rum). Now I love my Rum and that taste of your wonderful vanilla makes a perfect drink. Love your work Shelley.

  • I have been searching for lavalavas for quite some time and I’m so happy that I went through Shelley at Vaoa Vanilla!
    First off, the customer service is unmatched. I emailed Shelley regarding shipping and not only did she respond quickly, she initiated several follow up emails to verify that I did indeed receive my package!

    Now the two lavalavas I ordered were beautifully packaged with a note and were definitely nostalgic for me! I was searching for something similar to the lavalavas my grandpa would bring from Samoa (everything I tried to order before were generic cut pieces of bulk fabric). They were amazing! The material is a very light (muslin-like) cotton and the design is unique!

    I am so happy with my purchase and will definitely recommend Shelley and Vaoa Vanilla in the future!

    Fa’afetai!!
