Finding it

Vanilla Bake Shop is in South Concourse in Terminal B at Los Angeles International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.

Terminal B has 20 places to eat and 26 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 12am.

Hours against the security queue

Across the week, LAX security runs longest around 12pm at a median of 20 minutes, and lightest around 1am at 2 minutes.

Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's LAX wait-time record, not a live reading.

About this location

The only Vanilla Bake Shop at LAX sits in Terminal B's South Concourse, open from 5am to 11pm, covering the concourse's earliest departures with baked goods rather than the standard espresso-and-pastry counter. It's grouped with 800 Degree Pizza, Beecher's Handmade Cheese and Border Grill, sit-down options rather than other bakeries, making it the concourse's one dedicated dessert stop. With no second LAX location, whatever is in the case here is the only version of it available at the airport that day, unlike brands with counters in several terminals.

Other options in Terminal B

All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
