Light On The Sugar. I freaking LOVE YOU!!! We use to live in Orlando and are now in South Florida. But we visit often and I drive 30-45 min from Disney area every chance I get when we come to town. Worth every effort. They have opened several Light On The Sugar location with another new location coming soon. Original location was on Aloma Ave, the OG! Then this was their second. The third location was in Jacksonville. New location coming soon to Waterford Lakes!

This is an Asian bakery so the desserts are never rich or super sweet, always light and fluffy. Just the perfect balance of sweetness for me! That's what I love most about Asian bakeries in general. Light On The Sugar has unique flavors like UBE (my absolute favorite), matcha, lychee, black sesame, tiramisu, mango pending on season. I will buy anything and everything ube! But I'm always open to try new desserts or flavors too.

I love the cream puffs and crepe cakes! Those are usually my go to items. The tarts and cakes are also delish. My advice...TRY EVERYTHING!!!! It's worth every penny.

The ambiance is a whole vibe. Very chic and modern style. The space is gorgeous! The service here is always good too. Love you Light On The Sugar! Keep doing what you're doing. And if you ever feel inclined, open up a location in South Florida in Ft. Lauderdale, Hollywood or Miami....

Cute place but way too small. My anxiety was through the roof. When you sit in their tiny booths people in line are right up against your table. Line is out the door so you can’t get up and grab your order; you have to fight for your life. Cashiers don’t take your name down so you never know when they call your order. I’m pretty sure I grabbed someone else’s drink. Prices are very high and I left just feeling like I could have spent the money better elsewhere. Staff was not helpful when I was asking about drinks and for recommendations. I ended up getting something I hated because I was not helped. They were friendly just need to be more helpful. Their new Yoo-hoo Thai tea is $8 and barely fills one cup. Things have gold leaf etc on them and it’s just over done. Their desserts and drinks are way too sweet. I could not finish anything. I’m not sure why they are called light on the sugar. I guess it’s a pun. I don’t think I will be back.

If standing in a crowded line with no breathing room and disorganization is your thing then go for it. I think it’s chaotic and overpriced. But they crush up rose petals, infuse glitter, and put gold in your food so people think they are getting something. Nice concept just needs...
