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.

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.

Just remember to input the number you selected next to your name when you type the order.

Raining Berries is one of those businesses. The food: so I can only speak on behalf of the Acai bowls there... we haven't tried the other items on their menu. But, the Acai bowls are pretty densely packed with ingredients, and very flavorful. There are some Instagram-worthy photo op walls on the inside, so the kiddos should be pretty happy in here also!

This place also has a super cute aesthetic with a bunch of places to take cute photos. If you're looking for something fun to do on a Tuesday night, they have trivia every Tuesday from 7-9 and if you purchase a bowl you get two extra points. If you're in Waterford and looking for a healthy spot to pick up a tasty bowl, smoothie, coffee, or gelato, this is the place to go!
