My name is Romy Lai, I am the owner and pastry chef at Sweet Vanilla.
Born and raised in Madagascar, I had to leave the Island after I graduated high school to seek for a better future abroad. Then I spent 10 years in France where I graduated in Marketing and Retail Management. I moved in Saint John in 2015 as life goes on and started a new chapter of my life by starting my family here.
Sweet Vanilla has been growing so much since its creation in 2019, we've been a staple at local farmers' markets and now you can find us at our little gourmet shop at the Area506 Container village from May to October!

Baking is a passion. I spent ten years in France before landing in Canada. I am a proud self-taught baker.Being stuck home during Covid times helped a lot :) We have to find something positive from that pandemic right?Â
We cannot find a lot of authentic French pastries in Saint John, so if you're looking for some, this is the right place to be :)
Madagascar is my home country. As immigrants, we sometimes miss our homeland cuisine. So we try to do our best to cook them here. We use a lot of aromatic herbs, make our own Scotch Bonnet hot sauce and marinated lemon dipping sauce to enhance the taste of our food.
