I've been going since they first opened. They are always prompt to help! Their service is also fast due to their setup. I love their mochas! They also often have fun and unique seasonal offerings for their pastries. It is very small inside, though, so don't expect to easily find a table to enjoy your treat or study. read more

This area is my old stomping grounds. We used to live in Avalon Park right behind Waterford Lakes. Stoked to finally make it out this way to the newest Light on the Sugar location. 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. read more

Light on the Sugar is one of those rare bakeries that never disappoints. I've been to their Waterford Lakes, Winter Park, and East End Market locations, and the quality is always consistent. They make the best crêpe cakes I've ever had. I've brought them to dinner parties and small family gatherings, and they're always a hit. They're true to their name--the desserts aren't overly sweet, but they're still rich and satisfying. Every time I serve one, guests are impressed. They'll even customize the writing on top of the crêpe cake, which makes it great for birthdays or special occasions. My favorite is the ube, of course, because I love anything ube. Whenever I stop by to place an order or grab something for myself, I always get the taro latte with no added sugar. It's perfect just the way it is. If you haven't tried Light on the Sugar yet, you're missing out. I've converted so many people who don't usually eat sweets into fans of this place. Their character macarons are adorable and make great gifts or party treats. Everything they make has that same balance of flavor and presentation that keeps me coming back. read more

I've heard good things about this place and decided to give it a try. It's a small store but they have a good selection of items. If you're a fan of ube they have a few options available. My sister told me about their their cream puffs so I decided to give the ube creampuff a try. It was light and full of the cheesecake cream. I thoroughly enjoyed the inside I could eat a bowl of just that. Also the cookie thing on top was delicious. For the price I would say it's a decent size. Everything here is a little more on the pricey side from what I'm used to, but I would say it's a good value. The employees were really friendly and let me take my time while I was deciding which option to get. I'll definitely be back to try more of their treats. If you're in the area, I would definitely recommend checking them out! read more

Staff were great, the venue was clean. It's a nice place to sit and grab a treat after dinner. They are likely literal about their name and approach. As someone who is pretty well traveled in the way of pastries there is nothing to worry about. The selection here is for people who like a bit more masterful deserts. They are in no way un sweetened. They just aren't serving donuts drowning in sugar glaze. For people who don't appreciate a well crafted treat just go to Dunkin'. For everyone else though this place is great. My personal favorite is the Ube crepcake. I encourage people not to be weary of the funny purple vegetable, I tried it once a few years ago and it has been my favourite since. They have plenty of more conventional treats for those who want to get something more recognisable too. Absolutely would recommend. read more

I have now learned that if I want the place to myself, early Saturday morning. Peaceful, beautiful décor & heavenly scents of coffee, butter & baked goods! On this my 4th trip I picked up a giant croissant, a divine creme brulee puff and a hot mocha coffee with almond milk. If you're croissants do not make a crumb mess when you bite into them, you're not eating a real croissant. It's so good. The créme brulée puff is delicious and the mocha coffee always hits. Located inside Waterford Lakes Town Center, next to ZaZa and across from the Regal Theatre. Its the cute shop under the pergola. The service is always excellent! The time between ordering & getting your stuff is great. read more

Always a big fan of Light on the Sugar! Don't know how I missed that they now have a Waterford Lakes location, but I just happened to stumble upon it today on my way to a lunch meeting in the area. I decided to stop in after lunch and grab a tea and some sweet treats for later. This is a smaller location but also beautifully designed as always. I decided to get their iced guava sunset jasmine tea which was fruity & refreshing. I also got the strawberry biscoff crepe cake slice and the Dubai chocolate cream puff. I am obsessed with their crepe cakes and every flavor I've tried so far (matcha, ube, tiramisu) has been amazing. I'm a sucker for anything with biscoff cookies. Dubai chocolate is definitely having a trending moment in the dessert world right now, and I loved their creative way of making it into a cream puff -- it's so good. These are definitely some of my fave desserts in Orlando! read more

Found this place near alafaya. If you're looking for a dessert that is not so sweet but still pretty good you'll like what they have to offer. The pastry and desserts are very light. I had the tiramisu slice and it was just a right amount of sweet. They offer coffee also which I didn't find too sweet either. read more

This location in Waterford Lakes is a busy spot and was fully stocked with an amazing selection of desserts and pastries for anyone who is looking for a variety of desserts that are flavorful and not too sweet. They also offer coffee beverages and non-coffee options to pair with your selection. I opted for their beautiful Ube Crepe Cake and my usual breve latte subbing half and half for heavy whipping cream. I chose to grab a seat and table perfect for two to share my Ube Cake with my sister. Oh man was it heavenly and rich without any details forgotten like the berries on top, Graham cracker crumbs and chunks of ube cheesecake complimenting them. This layered ube crepe cake totally left both of our tongues bright purple and our taste buds satisfied. LOL The customer service was fast and friendly. Lots of lighting inside and clean, streamline decor. Very inviting and some merch available for sale. Overall, I spent around $100 for a mixed dozen of their regular sized cream puffs, a Ube Crepe Cake slice and my breve latte. It's definitely worth the splurge and makes for a thoughtful birthday gift or Easter treats for loved ones. There's more options for pre-ordering on their website or just call ahead if you want to order whole cakes and trays of mini and regular cream puffs for any celebration. 5-STARS read more

Light on the sugar is a classic I'm glad they have more locations! Quality across the locations is consistent which I love. The crème is always so airy and not too sweet. Their crème puffs are my favorite especially the ube & crème brûlée!!! The ambiance of each location is bright, minimalist, and clean. Service is good, if you have any questions the staff is always willing to help. Overall, one of my favorite pastries in Orlando. read more

Light On The Sugar Bakery Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Orlando, Florida

New bakery/coffee shop in Waterford Lakes Town Center. From the outside I thought it was a cupcake shop, but when I walked in I saw it was much more. The inside is not large, but big enough to accommodate a few tables along the wall. There are many different coffee, tea and lemonade drinks to choose from. The star of the show here are all the sweets! I ordered the lavender lemonade and ube cheesecake. The lemonade was the right amount of sweet and tart with little lavender sprigs. Ube cheesecake was creamy and sweet. This location is perfect and I hope they do well, there are so many different types of lattes and teas to be had. Every item in the sweets case looked incredible and was presented very well. Do not sleep on this sweet treat of a place! read more

We stopped in here to grab coffee and they didn't disappoint! They had several delicious bakery items and although it was such a difficult decision to choose, I went with a classic strawberry shortcake. It was so cute and so good! I also tried the dalgona iced coffee and it brought me back to the days when it went viral on social media during the pandemic. It had pieces of brown sugar inside that melted and made it perfectly sweet. Service was super quick despite how busy it was. read more

Was in the Waterford area and quickly stopped by for an afternoon treat since we hadn't been here before and we were surprised! I originally ordered the cookies 'n cream iced latte and happened to mention wanting to also try the pistachio latte and they quickly offered to combine the flavors (not sure if it's something people ever ask for) - it was PHENOMENAL! I absolutely loved it and will be thinking about this drink for the foreseeable future. All of the girls working were exceptionally kind. The tiramisu cake was good as well but I'm biased towards that pistachio cookie latte. Also, there's not much seating inside but there is plenty of seating options outside which helps. Highly recommend! read more

I'm a huge sweets person, so a name like "Light on the Sugar" initially made me question whether I should try this place out, but I'm really glad I gave it a try. They offer some of the cutest, most creative desserts around, and the quality is consistently impressive. As the name suggests, the treats aren't overly sweet, but they're still packed with flavor. Each cake looks like a tiny work of art, definitely more of an upscale dessert than your average quick treat. It's become one of my go-to spots when I need something special to celebrate or bring to an event. Seating is limited, but if you're lucky enough to grab a spot, the space has a really cute aesthetic and makes for a great place to catch up with friends over cute drinks or dessert. This location does have a smaller display case than the others, so the selection might be more limited, but everything I've tried has been worth the visit. read more

This location is pretty small with about 4 chairs inside but there is some seating outside too. Definitely recommend this spot read more

Yes, not the cheapest option around, but you are getting great quality! The Blueberry and Lemon Tart that I got was so balanced. Just the right amount of sweet, tart, and texture without becoming a heavy dessert. Definitely will be back again :) read more

This Light on The Sugar is A- okay. Service is great. This location is quite small compared to two other Winter Park Locations I have visited. There is a lot of seats and tables outside but right now it's too hot to sit outside. I took my Matcha banana pudding cream puff to go. It was ok. I tasted lots of cream and some banana. Def not a fave. It's nice to know they are in Waterford Lakes. Lots of shops around them make a nice stop to see what they have to offer. read more

One of my favorite bakeries in Central Florida! I started loving this brand with their location on Aloma, and then started going to their location in Winter Park. I'm glad to see that all locations have a consistent menu and quality to their product ! I usually come in for Matcha cream, puffs, but. On my visit this location I just wanted to pick up a couple of croissants for breakfast for the next morning . These are some of the most flaky and delicious croissants I've had in Central Florida. The team here is always sweet and polite and very attentive ! This location is set up pretty much like the others. with indoor dining, in a modern marble and wood style. Definitely come here for your baked goods and desserts! read more

Light on the sugar is a magical place. Enjoy your purchase inside, outside or take it to go in fancy packaging, it's a luxurious and unique experience. I loved all the different flavors offered here, and yes they are all technically sweets but not syrupy sweet like other shops where you leave with a toothache. The name says it all: it's light on the sugar. This is a gourmet experience here and I loved it. Service was patient and efficient. On a Saturday afternoon with a crowd all huddled at the counter asking questions, staff took their time with each customer while simultaneously churning out orders. It's a well-oiled machine that leaves everyone happy and feeling as special they are. This shop is clean, trendy and tiny in a cute boutique kind of way. It's located in the Waterford lakes town center within the row of connected restaurants next door to regal cinema. Plenty of parking everywhere! read more

Wow. I've been waiting to go here and just haven't had a chance until today. We stopped in and ordered the pistachio layer cake (might not be correct name) and the crème brûlée cream puff to go. Both were delicious. The pistachio layer cake might not be for everyone's taste - but it was delicious and the crème brûlée cream puff was literally one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. I devoured it. I wanted more. Service was quick and the interior is a cute spot to grab a treat and a coffee and sit to enjoy it. read more

I had no idea they had a location in Waterford Lakes! The shop is cozy and cute with both indoor and outdoor seating. The drinks menu is much larger than I expected. My bestie and I stopped in here for dessert after lunch at The Hungry Crab. I ordered the eggnog latte and the hot chocolate cream puff. Both were festive and delicious. The cream in the puff did indeed taste just like a chilled hot chocolate, and the pastry itself was fluffy, crispy on the outside, moist on the inside and so very pretty to look at.

I've been looking forward to checking out Light On The Sugar at Waterford Lakes since I first caught wind they'd be opening this site months ago. I regret not taking pics this trip, but I'll definitely be back! We arrived 20 minutes to close, so hopefully that's the reason for the poor service I received. Plus, this is a brand new location. These things take time! That late at night (8:40 pm), there wasn't much selection left which is understandable. But what we did order (ube crepe cheesecake and ube cheesecake plus a creme puff) was FRICKEN AMAZING!!! Omg the flavor was absolutely heavenly! Soooo light on the sugar (thus the name ) which allows the true flavors of each treat to really shine. There are also several drink options and coffees to try. I really want to do that next time as well as grab a lavender lemonade. I was going to do that this time but forgot. I forgot because I ordered a pizza croissant, thought it would be served warm, received a cold as hell pizza croissant, and was told they don't do that when asked if they could warm it up. Weird. Most other places, pretty much all other bakery/coffee places, do that. So I asked to return it. Which they clearly didn't like. Which is also the reason for my 3 stars. I WILL return! Hopefully next time for better service, continued amazing treats, and a tasty drink! Oh! And pictures! read more
