Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Orlando

"The fact Se7en Bites serves comforting breakfast and lunch fare all day (well, until 3 p.m. anyway) plays right into its brunch game, which offers more of the same Southern-inspired comfort fare for which the Milk District eatery has become renowned. Its flaky (and filling) biscuit sandwiches are out the ying-yang (ham, bacon, sausage and veggie), sure, but the “Minnie Pearl” comprising two pearl sugar waffles hugging buttermilk fried chicken with hot honey, over medium egg, vanilla bean butter syrup, and a side of cheddar chive grits is a formula for dying happy."

"The restaurant is a local favorite and has even been featured on the show 'Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.' If you want to try what host Guy Fieri tried, head to the restaurant early and order the vanilla bean bourbon bacon nighttime skypie (which usually runs out every day) and the chicken pot pie. Breakfast is served all day, so no matter if you're craving eggs or a Southern take on a Cuban sandwich, it's always available."

"Primrose Drive, the breakfast and brunch and New American spot, which offers coffee and tea and more, is the most popular breakfast and brunch restaurant in Orlando, boasting 4.5 stars out of 1,629 reviews on Yelp."

"The Glass Knife is more on the higher end as far as coffee shops go, but definitely worth a visit. They have a full menu complete with breakfast, lunch, brunch, coffee, and bakery items. The desserts are so beautiful you won’t even want to eat them (but please do, they’re delicious)."

"Your go-to destination for cakes, desserts, donuts, fun sweet treats and specialty coffee in Orlando. The Glass Knife has an eclectic menu of doughy goodness. We highly recommend their peanut butter and jelly donut."

"Well, snap the picture and set your phone down, because you'll want both your hands â€" pie pop in one, mini-pie in the other? â€" to sample the wares of this friendly, from-scratch bake shop in Audubon Park. You may want to bring friends with hands, too. They havecake, "cutie pies,' hand pies, cookies and mason-jar pies, as well. Find a few varieties you love (you will, promise) and you can place an order for a full-size, 9-inch version. And sweets aren't all they do here. Savory versions include chicken pot, Buffalo chicken and quiches, as well. Seasonal ingredients mean fresh fare. Pop in to sample with a cup of joe or just come in to grab a box and go. You'll be back soon enough."

"Over in Audubon Park, check out P is for Pie Bake Shop, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 184 reviews on Yelp. You can find the bakery and breakfast and brunch spot, which offers desserts and more, at 2806 Corrine Drive"

"Clean-lined with an artisan twist to classic pies (as in sweet tarts with a biscuit base), offering mini and specialty options. Flavors include a sublime key lime and tiramisu."

"Church St., Unit #112, the vegan and gluten-free spot, which offers ice cream, frozen yogurt and more, is the highest-rated inexpensive vegan restaurant in Orlando, boasting 4.5 stars out of 296 reviews on Yelp. Curious to know more?. "Artisanal and small-batch dairy and vegan-friendly ice cream made in-house with locally sourced ingredients," the business states on Yelp in the section explaining specialties."

"If you’re vegan or have a dairy allergy and looking for the best ice cream in Orlando then this is absolutely the place for you!. The Greenery creamery specializes in dairy free ice cream (although they have ice cream with dairy in too) homemade in small batches using organic and locally sourced ingredients. I have always been skeptical about dairy free ice cream but theirs is the best I’ve ever tried!"

"Orlando’s first-ever artisanal ice cream boutique is conveniently located in Downtown Orlando. The ice cream here is 100% organic and fresh, without an additive, artificial flavouring or thickener in sight. Traditional dairy ice cream is made with locally sourced cream from grass-fed Orlando cows, while vegans can take their pick from coconut, peanut butter, sunflower butter, almond or soy bases."

"Brothers Francois and Phillipe Cahagne opened Croissant Gourmet in 2008 and in the time since it has become a local favorite in the walkable window shopper's paradise of Winter Park. While lunch time brings in all manner of diners clamoring for specialties like quiche Lorraine and croque monsieur, Croissant Gourmet's bakery is a universal draw, whether you're sitting down to enjoy one of their massive buttery namesakes with a cup of coffee or stopping in for a box of baked goodies to go. Favorites here include rich vanilla- or chocolate-filled eclairs, all manner of tarts (from apple Normandy to apricot), coconut and vanilla flans, classic Napoleons, an array of delicious and photogenic macarons and of course, the stars of the show: croissants."

"Le Gourmet Break brings Paris to Orlando with a charming bistro-style eatery offering a selection of crêpes, homemade quiches, freshly baked pastries, and house-roasted coffee in a bright and airy environment. An excellent spot for breakfast and great coffee, Le Gourmet Break serves a creative menu of dishes ranging from three-egg omelets and egg scrambles to omelet bagels and croissants, French breakfasts of baguettes and jam, a selection of mouthwatering pastries, and gourmet sandwiches and wraps. Fresh salads and homemade soups are also on offer, along with croquet monsieur and madams, panini and croissants sandwiches, quiche of the day, and sweet and savory crêpes."

"As one of the few restaurants whose owners were native French citizens, Le Gourmet Break offers an unparalleled level of authenticity. Their cuisine relies on traditional dishes that are popular in France and have not been modified for the American taste. Instead, the simplicity and original seasonings give all of their creations an advantage."

"Central Business District's Le Gourmet Break, located at 150 S. Magnolia Ave., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the cafe, bakery and breakfast and brunch spot 4.5 stars out of 377 reviews."

"Really enjoyed this coffee house.I think the cold brew was excellent, the staff was nice, and both avocado toast and banana bread were good.Pleasant atmo..."

"Slinging breakfast and lunch to a devoted legion of customers – and likely creating new ones daily – Nick's Family Diner showcases all of this culinary genre's classics along with hearty and satisfying Greek and Italian specialties. Whether you're in the mood for a good old burger deluxe or want to step outside diner business as usual and go for a daily special – perhaps the stuffed meatloaf – Nick's should deliver the good nicely. Soul food aficionados might want to give the chicken and waffles a try."

"Family-owned and operated, this quaint diner will make you such a big breakfast, you’ll have trouble getting out the door!. In what used to be an old Pizza Hut, Nick and his family built their legacy. The diner is beloved by locals, and with good reason!"

"The service is fast and friendly and the place is always packed with regulars. The waffles, pancakes, sandwiches and eggs are all always absolutely on point."

"It’s obvious that coffee is the main focus here and taken seriously—beans from Sumatra, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Colombia and Brazil, and a dizzying selection of latte flavors from simple to practically dessert. I’m not sure I could handle a coffee flavored with Lady Luck (Irish cream, hazelnut and cherry) or Coconut Cream Pie (white chocolate, caramel, coconut) first thing, but that’s just me. An easier choice is the all-day breakfast options, including topped waffles (bananas Foster, mmm; the peanut butter, strawberries, bananas and granola, messy), wraps and very stuffed breakfast sandwiches, wraps and protein bowls."

"We came to this spot because of the huge menu and options that appeared there would be something for everyone. First of all I noticed immediately the dir..."

"This is a perfect place to fill yourself up with a lot of food, good service.Food is kinda greasy, just have that in mind, fitness people."

"Swine & Sons is offering their outdoor seating if someone wishes to eat their to-go food there, but otherwise, there is no date for opening the dining room and they will continue focusing on curbside pickup and delivery."

"Featuring artisanal charcuterie, local ingredients, butcher sandwiches, craft beer, boutique wines, seasonally inspired homemade ice creams, signature spices and rubs, scratch-made biscuits and daily"

"I'm still trying to learn the different Korean desserts like Bingsu (shaved ice with toppings) and Patbingsu (pictured below) which is shaved iced crunchy cereal, almonds and condensed milk. Still not sure I have is straight, but I know it tastes good. If you need something simpler they also have adorable fruit popsicles you can enjoy while taking in the lake view."

"If you happen upon Market on South, be sure to stop in at Valhalla Bakery. Celine Mariah Duvoisin whips up some 100% egg-free, dairy-free desserts, and the result is pure decadence. Cupcakes, lemon bars, cakes, muffins, and brownies make for some very happy patrons."

"Valhalla Bakery is known for their tasty, square and VEGAN doughnuts!. Munch on a pistachio doughnut as you drink your coffee before work!. Doughnuts sell out quick so get there early!"
