I got my delicious salted cheese smooth long tea! This is the location at Waterford lakes. The staff is friendly and helpful. I went on a Sunday and it's busy. The noise levels inside are medium to loud. A comfortable sort of loud noise of busyness. I can see myself spending an extended amount of time in here if there is seating, eating a cream puff and having a tea for a while.

In the area visiting family. Need coffee for road trip home. Pistachio latte. Shockingly no pastries. Had enough from yesterday.

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.

Food was the perfect amount of sweetness. Really cheap as well and soooo worth it. The ambiance is so good with a partner so bring one.

For reference: on the side where Zazas, next to Charley's, across from Regal movie theater.

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.

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!

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!

First time trying this bakery and I was very satisfied with the creme brûlée puff. There are tables for lounge and relax , the service was great. My family enjoyed the baked goods and looking forward to visiting again.

Sydney W.

Cutest cafe with amazing pastries and beautiful decor. We loved the coffee, as well as the pastries. They have so many options to try! Definitely worth checking out

Tiramisu slice
Jessica F.

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.

Ube-licious!
Leah A.

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

Ube cream puff and Tarro Late.

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.

The desserts are always slap! The service is quick and polite! Love the calm colors! My favorite is the creme brulee cream puff however they were out so I tried other options. All delicious! Lemon blueberry tart, coconut cream dessert, and Dubai cream puff.

Sherlin E.

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.

It's the kind of place where you walk in thinking you'll "just get one thing" and somehow walk out with a box full of buns because having restraint here is really hard. I tried the golden onion bun, and it was so soft, fluffy, and delicious. I especially loved the sweet-and-savory combination -- it has that perfect balance that makes you want to keep going back for another bite. Highly recommend stopping by if you enjoy sweet and savory flavors, fluffy baked goods, and definitely take advantage of their happy hour deal .

Their desserts are ok, but their tea is amazing, and the matcha and coffee and great as well. Haven't had the ramen but it's coming up. This may be more of a cultural proximity, but I wholeheartedly appreciated the speediness, straightforwardness, and helpfulness in their service. Some of the other cafed I've been to with a similar concept are clumsy, bad at fulfilling orders, and overly pushy with tips and up selling. Bakery 1908 gave me what I wanted, how I wanted it, as I wanted one. Actually, the missing star is because of the actual quality of the bakery. It may be because of the time of the day (they had a buy two get one free offer), but their desserts lacked some filling/flavor. Nothing that accompanying them with a good drink wouldn't solve. I will give them many more tries, as they became my favorite of the bunch.

Either way, visiting this location really is the hack that you think it is. Since it is in the East End Market, you can simply waltz in with little to no line and order your delicious Gideon's treats. It is important to note that unfortunately they don't offer the cold brew here, however, as they don't have the facilities to make it like they do at Disney Springs. But, the cookies are just as delicious and they do always sell their limited edition cookies here in addition to their classics. It is also worth shopping around the market as well since there are many indulgences here ranging from sushi to cocktails to fun trinkets. It is best to visit at an off time though as parking can be a challenge.

I didn't realize that before ordering, so that definitely explains part of why this wasn't for me. Red velvet is usually my birthday cake, so I've tried it from quite a few places over the years. I personally prefer a softer, fluffy cake with a noticeable cocoa flavor and a tangy cream cheese frosting. Gideon's version was very different from that. The color was much more intensely red than I personally like, and I felt like I could taste the coloring. The texture of my slice also felt more wet/dense than moist and fluffy. There was plenty of frosting, but the cream cheese flavor was much more subtle than I prefer. I know this cake has a lot of fans, so I think this really comes down to style and personal preference.

This was THE best donut I have ever had in my life!…read more I was surprised with the Pumpkin Cheesecake donut, and the second I took a bite, my mouth literally dropped. It was SO good! The donut was perfectly moist, the pumpkin purée and cheesecake topping tasted incredibly fresh, and all the flavors came together perfectly. It was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating it long enough to even take a proper picture! I also tried their Vegan Cookies and Crème donut, and it was just as delicious. The chocolate was so rich, and the frosting on top was a perfect balance. You can genuinely tell these donuts are made with care and attention to detail. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. And the donut holes pack a punch! 10/10 -- I would absolutely have these again!

The donuts are super fluffy and brioche-style, which you really can't go wrong with. There are also plenty of seats at this location if you want to sit and enjoy your donuts with friends or family. There are lots of restaurants and shops nearby too, so it's a great spot to make a pit stop while you're out exploring the area. They have a great variety of donuts, from the classics to some more unique options. I tried their butter beer donut, which I believe is seasonal, and to my surprise, it had a layer of cream inside!

This location offers private parking area. It's a little bit bigger. A huge THANK YOU to JR, Manager and his team who helped make this experience magical. We had so much fun while making great memories. We ordered cocktails, patisserie and shared small bites while decorating the cake pieces. They offer coffee options and cocktails. I loved their Expresso Martini. The cake pieces are top quality and delicious. Staff were very attentive and polite. Again, thank you for making this day very special.

If you like your chocolate cake dark, decadent, rich, and a little sexy... baby, this is the move. Basically, this isn't "lemme grab a little piece of cake."
