Morning Light Bakery — Restaurant in Winooski

This bakery has been on my radar for awhile but I hadn't had the chance to visit till recently. I had been avoiding it a bit because finding the parking situation overwhelmed me a bit. There are 15 minute convenience spots right next door to the bakery which is great.

We first tried a variety of the buns and they are all so delicious! The person working at the window was so very patient with us while we figured out which ones to try. They were all so amazing but our favorites were the pineapple and the taro buns. We got some boba tea as well and while the messy tea (new to us) was a bit too sweet for our tastes, the classic milk tea was wonderful.

Since the first visit, we have been back weekly and are quickly becoming reliant on having strawberry and mango mochi once a week. The egg tarts are phenomenal as well!

For Easter, we picked up a Mango Crepe Cake and I am not a super fan of mango but I would happily eat only Mango Crepe Cake for the rest of my life if I could. Today we got a swiss roll cake and it was so soft and perfectly sweet. I can't speak highly enough of this bakery and their customer service. There is such a variety of things to try and all of them have been winners so far. Can't wait to keep working...

I had heard a lot about this place and finally decided to give it a try. The staff were awesome—super friendly and helpful. The prices were very reasonable, which was a big plus.

As for the food, it was good, but not quite what I expected. Some dishes were a bit too sugary for my taste, while others leaned more on the salty side. This is just my personal opinion, and since it was my first time trying it, I’m still a bit unsure about what the actual flavor profile is supposed to be.

There were only two tables available for dining in, so I think they mainly focus on takeout. Parking can be a bit tricky, as they only have street parking that can fit about three cars.

Overall, it’s a solid spot with great prices and worth trying out—especially if you’re doing takeout. I might give it another shot just to better understand...

A MUST visit for tourists and locals alike! Far beyond a quick pop-up Boba shop, Morning Light has the trifecta of what it takes to be a fantastic business down perfectly:

Great location! Just off the Winooski Circle and by the water, there’s plenty of beautiful spaces to wander with your cup of tea and warm bun!

Great food/drink! There’s a ton of variety for bubble teas, their buns are out of this world (go RUN to buy a Pork floss bun and a Coconut bun right now!!!), and they have a ton of delicious sweets like their Green Tea Swiss Rolls!

Great Service! To say the people who work there are amazing is the understatement of the century. Incredibly kind, patient, and generous! THIS is exactly the kind of local business you love to see because the people behind the counter really care about those in...
