I ordered a beef and cheese empanada, spinach and cheese pastry, along with the Saffron Latte, and one hot and one cold Pistachio Latte. They coffees were bold, strong, and the flavors are very distinct. If you have a sensitive palate, you'll really taste the saffron and pistachio. I thought the hot Pistachio Latte tasted better than cold, but that's just a personal preference. They have plenty of pastry choices and a decent size drink selection. Their seasonal iced drinks look amazing so it'll be worth getting next time. It's a great place to meet up, coffee date, or get some work done. I'll definitely be back to try other things when I'm able to stay longer. There's a small parking lot.

We tried the iced americano with orange syrup and it was delicious. We also tried the hot americano with lavender syrup and it is by far one of my favorite coffee mixes. I've tried this combo at many competing coffee locations and 7 brews does it right. The baristas are so nice and knowledgeable about coffee combinations. They also have a rewards program which is actually pretty nice because you get 100 points per drink and then at 1000 points you can heat a free drink. Size and price do not matter unlike other coffee chains. I liked that. There is no app so you just give them your number and they can get your points to you. It's drive thru only and I have not noticed a walk up window. It's very busy but well organized. So happy it's here. I will be working my way through the menu

I was really excited for the guava matcha. While I love their matcha, I was a little underwhelmed by how little guava flavor came through. You can see the tiny layer of guava in the picture, and I would have loved a bit more of it in the drink. I am willing to give it another shot with extra guava! The carrot cake croissant was incredible! I also tried the jalapeño goat cheese scone and was pleasantly surprised by the level of spice. I could eat that every day! And of course, service is always great. The space itself is one of my favorite parts of Lineage. It is bright, airy from all the natural light making it such a great place to hang out!

It was more than some others I've had, but still not enough. Is there ever enough filling though? It's not convenient for me, so I doubt I'll be back to give it another try.

And what caught my eye when doomscrolling through instagram and skimming through my apps for recommended food places were their sandwiches and pastries. They are as beautiful in person as they are in the pictures. One thing I can't infer from a picture very well is the size. And let me tell you, that sandwich was pretty massive. It's larger than some of the burgers I've been trying out lately in the area, so you get every bang out of your buck. I got the Beef Bugolgi Shokupan Sandwich, which was bursting with a generous serving of beef and a really large, soft, fluffy scrambled egg, all packed between 2 super thick and pillowy buttery toasted bread. I also got the Pork Belly Bao, which I honestly like better than the sandwich. The bao buns are super fluffy, and the pork belly slices are perfectly thick sliced and flavorful. It's a great menu item to get if you want to share with another person since it comes with 2 servings per order. For dessert, I struggled a bit to pick and choose, haha. Of course I couldn't just pick one, but I am a little proud of myself for only selecting 2 instead of a whole entire box. From the pastry case, I picked the custard donut, which was soft, chewy, and stuffed to bursting with a pudding-like filling. And from the cake case, I got the Raspberry mousse. I couldn't resist that glass-like ruby red skin. But unfortunately, it was too tart for my taste. There's a lot on the menu that I can't try in just one visit, so I'm definitely bound to come back again.

I'm drooling just thinking about it. They also have other different sandwiches to choose from as well but I ordered this one since it caught my eye. They also have a pretty extensive tea and boba menu as well. So if you're on the hunt for some yumminess inside a cutesy little cafe on the east side, definitely check out Shokupan Bakehouse.

I was in the area visiting family and wanted to grab some coffee before the road trip home to South Florida. A local business is better than a Starbucks. Bonus is it's my favorite bakery in Orlando so I'm here for it. This Light on the Sugar is located next to the Regal Cinemas in Waterford Lakes. Squished between Charley's Philly Cheesesteaks and Zen Dumplings. What I dislike about this location is the wooden gazebo they built directly in front of these stores. It totally hides the name of the stores and it's not appealing. This made it hard to find too. They should honestly get rid of the gazebos, these poor stores may be losing potential business because people can't locate it. This bakery is the smallest one compared to the original two locations I've been to. It's ok because they still sell most of the same items, just less of a selection due to limited space. They offer the popular cream puffs, pastries, tarts, merch and drinks. On this particular day, I only got the Pistachio Latte and an Americano. My husband likes a good simple coffee with no bells and whistles. The other stuff is too much for him. Ha. I really debated getting pastries for the road but I was just at the Winter Park location yesterday and got an assortment so I was good on pastries. My Pistachio Latte was good, but it was a tad on the sweet sweeter side. I had my husband mix some of his Americano with my latte so it balanced out a little bit more for both of us. All in all, nice new and intimate location with a few tables indoors and outdoors. I still prefer the other beautiful and more aesthetic locations. Good thing this bakery wasn't here when I lived here, I would be broke! Lol.

They took their time recommending flavors, let us try different samples, and made the whole experience feel fun instead of rushed. That level of friendliness really makes a place memorable. And lastly, I LOVED that they had games available to play. Such a cute and thoughtful touch! It made the visit feel more like a cozy hangout than just a quick dessert stop. Sitting there, playing games, and enjoying good ice cream was such a vibe. Overall, such a sweet little spot with great energy, great service, and delicious ice cream.
