    Tiramisu Float
    Kheyt C.

    Quick service. Packaging was solid and had cute doodles/wording on them like SO PUFFING GOOD-- and it IS. Five stars for the creampuffs. I've tried a variety of their desserts in the past/in another location, and I've learned that the creampuffs are really the only ones that I would keep coming back for. My fave creampuffs are the Ube Cheesecake and Matcha (straight up matcha more than the dirty matcha one). They used to have a ferrero rocher chocolate on top of the ferrero creampuffs, which they don't anymore. I'm glad they've at least kept the ube cheesecake topping. The tiramisu float tasted better as I kept drinking and the topping got mixed into the coffee a bit more. A tip if going to order for multiple people: check out what flavors are available on their UberEats before driving to the store.

    Crème puffs!(Mom snatched one and I ate half of the other before I got a chance to take a picture)

    The creme puffs are great here! This is my second time eating at "light on the sugar." Both locations are really good. The staff were really nice as well! I have to say, my favorite is the crème brûlée crème puff! I ate half of my order before taking this photo.. but I've had their matcha mango; which was my sister's favorite, the ube which was pretty good, and the strawberry crème puff. Along with the ube cheesecake in the past. Their creme puffs are always really good though, both locations I've been too and all the ones I've had. I definitely recommend the creme brûlée creme puff tho!

    Ube and s'mores cream puffs

    The service at this location was great! I ordered two cream puffs, a croissant and a coffee. I expected my coffee to take a little while to make, but it was pretty much ready by the time I was done paying. I ordered a tiramisu float, and the coffee was smooth and the topping was thick and delicious. The croissant had spinach and feta in it. The actual croissant was flaky with a hint of sweetness. The filling was a bit disappointing, as there wasn't much of it. As per usual, the cream puffs were light and not too sweet. I was a little disappointed though because they didn't have the cookies and cream one. Overall, they have great pastries and coffee. Their packaging is also high-quality and adorable!

    Vanilla Crepe Cake
    Kristen H.

    We ordered the vanilla crepe cake for our courthouse wedding, and it turned out to be one of the unexpected highlights of the night. The cake was absolutely delicious -- light, delicate, and not overly sweet, with just the right balance of cream and crepe layers that practically melted in your mouth. What really blew me away was how memorable it was for everyone else. Every single person who had a slice that evening called or texted the next day asking where we got it from. That's how you know it's something special. If you're looking for a wedding cake (or honestly, any celebration cake) that's elegant, understated, and guaranteed to impress, this vanilla crepe cake is it. Highly recommend -- it made our small courthouse wedding feel a little more magical. Thank you LOTS team for making our day!

    Pastry Case

    I put an order in. The ladies were very helpful. My order was ready ahead of time. Pick up was quick and easy. They're very polite. Their pastry case was beautiful. The shop is small with limited seating.

    I frequent this cafe for a long time for the baked goods. The baked goods are sweet, but not overly sugary. It satisfies your sweet tooth without the side effects of ingesting a lot of sugar. The coffee drinks are high quality with some creative options. The location is small. There is some seating but it is very limited. The servers are always very nice and efficient. Give this place a try for high quality drinks and treats!

    A great spot if you enjoy desserts that aren't too sweet. Coffee and tea is always great. On this visit, we got the Blueberry Lemon Bao and Dark Chocolate Pistachio tart. The blueberry lemon bao was just the right mix of sweet, tart, and buttery. The dark chocolate pistachio tart wasn't sweet enough for me, but my husband loved it. Both were $8-9. Just a warning that the logos on top aren't edible!

    Dubai Chocolate cream puff, Strawberry Cream puff

    Really enjoyed my stop here. The service was great. The cream puffs were delicious and fresh. Smelled sweet inside this little shop and they had a good variety of items. I really loved my cream puffs, and I'm sure you would too

    Spensyr K.

    Perfect cream puffs and crepe cakes! If they had boba for the teas this would be a perfect dessert/snack location! It's a tiny storefront but serviceable and the decor is modern! The staff was helpful but there's no rush here...so come when you have a moment to enjoy and put up with a little wait.

    We came by to stop in for a quick treat and just happened to visit on their anniversary!! We didn't get any of the special rewards for early customers but what we had was still delicious.

    Macaron
    Caroline C.

    One of my favorite bakeries with the best cream puffs and crepe cakes. I love their ube flavored baked goods! Their drinks are great too, truly light on the sugar. Service is great and ambiance is clean.

    Fruity pebble cream puff
    Anna T.

    Love the selection of desserts and drinks they offer here. I usually get their fruit tea and a macaron. Some of the desserts can be hit or miss for me on flavor. The presentation is always spot on though and they are also change out seasonally so there is something for anyone's taste and I always find something I like. Some of my favorites are the sakura macaron and the fruity pebble cream puff.

    A charming coffee shop with a cute, cozy interior and genuinely welcoming service. The croissants are the standout, crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside. The coffee is decent, though slightly over-roasted. A lovely spot overall, especially for pastries.

    Ask the Community - Light on the Sugar

    How does a bakery not open until 11am? There have been probably 30 occasions where I've wanted to go but they weren't open. Including right now.

    A lot of bakeries have staff that come in early to bake before open. That's just their hours of operation.

    Does Light on the Sugar happen to have any gluten-free options ? The macaroons maybe?

    They change their menu items pretty often but for the most part they offer gluten pastries goods. They did have a flan when I was there but it had a crust which you could possibly eat around

    Is this place good for studying?

    Aesthetically yes, functionally no

    Why is this marked for delivery when they do not offer delivery?

    I believe they are on uber eats

    Is this place permanently closed?

    No they are open

    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! If you want a consistent sweet treat that will never do you wrong, salty is your place .

It is also worth shopping around the market as well since there are many indulgences here ranging from sushi to cocktails to fun trinkets.

However, they have plenty of outdoor seating that's perfect for hanging out with friends on a Sunday morning. Literally one of my favorite spots. Thank you Buttermilk for being THAT girl.

    I have been a Buttermilk Bakery fan for well over a decade. Until this last weekend…read more I got online at 8:15 in the morning to place my order. Each item that I selected came up with a message that read, "Our store is not currently accepting orders." I tried again a few minutes later. Then again. And again. And again. I tried to call and received a voicemail that stated a different number. At 8:50am, the option to order seemed to be back up and running. I ordered five items, including the Roasted Tomatoes & Goat Cheese Quiche. For context: I live 45 minutes away from Buttermilk Bakery. It used to be on my way to work but, as of a few years ago, that is not the case anymore. So, it is now a special occasion destination. Reserved only for weekends when I can make the trip. More context: I have been raving to one of my closet friends for years about how much I love this place. My most emphatic musings have been about the quiche. Today, since she and I were planning an afternoon poolside, I thought that I would surprise her with an assortment of Viennoiserie and other items. At 10:36am, I received a call from Buttermilk. The woman on the phone informed me that they had run out of the quiche. How?!? Once the website was working, I was able to place my order quickly and the item didn't even read, "Low stock." I know that this is a small problem in a world full of large problems, but the thing that really set me off is that when I arrived at the store, the person in line in front of me asked for the Strawberry Buttermilk Pie. He was told that they were out of stock. He was pleasant in stating that there appeared to be slices in the refrigerator case. The girl behind the register told him that they were being held for online orders. When it was my turn, I stated that no one had held my slice of quiche. She blandly said, "I am sorry," and proceeded. I then stated that I was unhappy and had driven some distance. She asked if I would like something else. I responded that the person on the phone had simply told me that I would receive a refund. I then asked for the girl to check on my refund. She said it was not processed yet. So, I said that I would wait. She needed to ask for help to process the refund. She wasn't nasty to me, but she did not care one iota. My effort and subsequent inconvenience meant nothing. I wonder if my refund would even have been processed had I not asked. My friend and I thought the pastries that we received were fine, but she is fitness-minded and was hesitant to indulge in so many carbs without the rich protein that the quiche would have provided. And, yet, more context: This happened once before. With the quiche. Maybe a year ago. Though, that time, I believe it was a butternut squash quiche. My husband needed to be in the area, so he suggested that he pick-up at Buttermilk. When he arrived, he was told that there would be no quiche. No call. No nothing. He didn't think to ask for a refund and we never received one. That time, I simply thought, "Well, accidents happen." This time, I think that I received very shoddy service. I felt very disrespected. I felt unseen. I have loved this place, but I am so disappointed.

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.
