SonLight Bakery and Cafe — Restaurant in Halifax Township

Went in really hopeful because of the good reviews and the beautiful presentation of the cafe on Facebook. Food was small portioned, unseasoned and from our telling, frozen or bagged store-bought food. Our drinks were watered down versions of themselves, I was especially excited because of the Smore's latte option but was thoroughly disappointed by what I received. We still decided to buy some baked goods to hopefully redeem some of the hope we had for this place, the doughnuts, although cheap in taste are nice and look appetizing. The atmosphere lacks a lot of anything really, the seating is minimal which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The white washed walls and complete sterile feeling of the building is a massive anxiety inducer (in my own opinion), it lacks any sense of homely feeling and feels more like a hospital cafe with the food and drink to match. The staff are the warmest part of the cafe, the ladies who are serving were very welcoming and nice. Hopefully this was just an off-day as the other reviews did not reflect the...

We decided to try the newly opened Sonlight Bakery and Cafe, for breakfast and it superseded our expectations! The aesthetic was relaxed and cozy, with just the right mix of modern touches and natural elements. What really stood out, though, was the food. Seriously, it’s hands down the best breakfast we’ve tasted in the area. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Try the avocado toast! The coffee (smooth with zero bitterness) and drinks (smoothie tasted so fresh) were also top-notch, making for the perfect combo. We took a few donuts home to sample. They were perfectly sweet, offering just the right amount of flavor without being too much. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was just right for a laid-back breakfast. I don’t typically write reviews, but after our experience, they deserve it. Definitely a place we’ll be...

A gem in such a rural area! They have a fabulous selection of donuts. We tried a half dozen. Most were well balanced, although a few had too much filling. I especially loved the strawberry cream that we tried! The donuts were a good size for the price and the brioche dough tasted fresh, although it was definitely a lower hydration, denser dough. They also have a good coffee selection made with Monin syrups. The espresso was solid and they did not overdo the syrups. We tried multiple different Spritzers as well, and we did find them to be very sweet! I would certainly ask for half sweet next time. The service was fabulous, and I loved the Christian influence. I’m excited to stop again at some point...
