It's quality over quantity with a creative flair. I restrained myself, and only selected 2 (you know, moderation)... 1. Sugar Raised - it's a classic and this one was outstanding. Big, light, fluffy and not at all greasy. Coated with crunchy granulated sugar. Just sweet enough. 2. Viral Dubai Chocolate bar inspired donut!! Dark chocolate glazed, and generously filled with crispy kunafeh and PISTACHIO CREAM! It was beyond delicious. Looking forward to trying some of the other flavors. Definitely give them a try!

Basically traveled to WEC solely to give this place a try…read more Pretty unassuming being in the hotel but was surprised at the variety and quality of the pastries. Specifically had the raspberry and chocolate croissants and was very happy with both. Raspberry croissant was super flaky with a nice cream and jelly inside. Little messy to eat, but delicious and not too sweet. The chocolate croissant was also very good and both pastries were large. Price for both was a little steep but given size, quality, and being at WEC it really wasn't bad. Coffee was also pretty good with the price surprisingly reasonable be given its location. Place was fairly busy but the line moved quickly so it wasn't an issue. If you're looking for a nice pastry and coffee I would definitely repeat if you're at or near WEC.

And here we have another gem to add to Ocala's increasingly cool selection of places to eat…read more Located in the heart of downtown Ocala, Soleil Bakery is a gluten-free bakery offering locals and visitors alike a delicious selection of pastries both savory and sweet without the traditional gluten filled ingredients. The perfect place for a book club meet-up, or catch up with friends at any time of day, the cafe is sweetly decorated and uber cozy. I was so glad to see they were open as the few times I had visited before they were closed. With that said, I recommend to call beforehand as my understanding is that the bakery has odd hours sometimes. The staff was friendly and helped me choose a selection of goods to take home with me. I ended up with their very last snickerdoodle cookie, two spinach quiches, and their peanut butter chocolate cheesecake with an Oreo crust. Yum, yum, and yum! All of it. The quiche was particularly good and heated up well the next day keeping the center moist and fluffy while still being loaded with spinach. Sorry to say my review won't come with photos of the treats I picked up as I ran out quickly to get home in the rain. But...I guess you'll just have to go see yourself! Soleil Bakery & Social House is a must try!

After residing in Ocala for 9 months, we finally made it here. To be honest, this business was not…read moreon my list of bookmarks, nor had I even checked it out. We finally explored the square due to one of the art walk events. Since it we visited twice here on Friday evenings, we decided to have espresso. During the events in the square, the businesses usually stay open later than usual. This also means they are busy. I have yet to visit during normal business hours so I am not sure how the traffic is usually. Our first visit was just to check it out and get whatever on a spontaneous decision. I did not know they serve beer and wine so I opted for wine our first time. I picked out some French white wine, which wound up being over $20 for a tiny bottle! The staff member warned me she was unsure of the price and we were both shocked when she scanned it lol. I then switched it for a sparkling wine, which was half the price. The espresso hubs and I split was as good as it gets. We love our espressos and coffee bold and strong so we were happy. The staff member also gave me a teacher's discount, which I appreciate so much because therapists don't usually get discounts! The next time we visited, we ordered another espresso, as well as a cinnamon bun and an Andes cake. OMFG how orgasmic!! I love mint chocolate anything so I was sooooo excited! We saved it for later and it was just amazing! Hubs loves cinnamon buns and he approved as well. Both times we sat for a while, sipped our coffee, and talked. I am definitely interested in checking Soleil out when it is less busy to soak it in. The place was clean and the staff were personable and friendly. They serve a lot of vegan products and honestly, they are so good, you probably could not tell the difference which is vegan or not. They have comfy seating and it does feel very cozy in there.

I didn't know what I was in for the sandwich took me to my happy place. The price is nothing compared to the quality ingredients. The service was wonderful. I opted for the chicken salad sandwich and that chicken was not canned.. it's in the taste. I'm definitely coming back for another sandwich and bringing friends along. This is definitely a gem to just stumble across. The place reminded me of the bodegas in New Jersey and New York. Definitely recommend to stop in and the best part? There were other customers and when the sweet lady recognized them by name I was all in. I'm coming back for sure

Paid $112 which I was fine with it because I was thinking it was going to be exceptional. The cake was nothing like the picture I had sent them. All it said was 50. The cake did have the colors I wanted. Also wanted raspberry in the middle. There was a thin line of raspberry. Barely could taste the raspberry. I don't mind paying money for a cake. I want it to be worth $112. At the most this cake that was made was a $60 cake. So disappointed. I was embarrassed handing the cake out saying we got it from Betty Cakes. This was definitely not the Betty Cake I use to order from.
