Shaka Donuts 225 E. Michigan St, 407-801-5066 ”Its so hard to choose favorites because they were all so good, but I will give my top 3. My absolute favorite was the Pua, I mean bacon and maple donuts are the best! And they do not skimp on the bacon! 2nd favorite would be the Nutty Buddy because come on peanut butter & chocolate, um yes please! And 3rd would be the Samoa, it was like eating the cookie it was so good.”- Cassi M. Photo via Shaka Donuts/Facebook
Nothing Bundt Cakes 7339 W. Sand Lake Road, 407-720-3839 ”They have many wonderful flavors to choose from but I usually stick with vanilla, lemon and chocolate. The simplicity of these basic flavors are memorable and leave me wanting more. I also really like confetti, pecan praline and white chocolate raspberry.”-Laura G.

22. Sugar Divas Cakery, LLC 25 W. Crystal Lake St,407-745-5594 ”They are the best bakery in all of Orlando and I’d probably say all of Florida. They were SO accommodating and the cake was absolutely the most delicious we have ever had.

Bakery Plus 915 E. Michigan St, 407-849-1888 ”This bakery is a diamond in the rough with incredibly inexpensive prices and a simple menu.

There are a variety of donuts, which are made fresh each morning; and, cost about a $1. “- John.C Photo via Bakery Plus/Facebook
Mattie’s Delectable Desserts 8444 International Drive, 407-735-9550 ”We decided on a Chocolate Mint , Orange, Turtle and German Chocolate.

It was pretty rich and the bold flavor was perfectly balanced.” – Laura G. Photo via Mattie’s Delectable Desserts/Facebook
Insomnia Cookies 12101 University Blvd, 407-901-1873 ”Insomnia is a local cookie shop that specializes in fresh, warm, and gooey cookies in addition to ice cream. The cookies can be ordered in various packs and have separate “gourmet” options. I ordered the 6 pack and it did not disappoint. Chocolate Chunk, Mint Chocolate Chip, Galaxy, Double Chocolate and M&M rounded out my selection. Each cookie was baked to perfection. They tasted like they just came out of the oven, delicious!” – Michael D. Photo via Insomnia Cookies/Facebook

Light on the Sugar 4270 Aloma Ave, Winter Park, 407-916-0215 ”I tried their cookies, pudding, and one of their cream puffs (cookies and cream flavor). All were excellent but the cream puff stood out from the rest. The cream is packed into the puff so each bite is incredibly satisfying. I can’t wait to try more! My mouth is watering as I am typing this review.”- Stacy V. Photo via Light on the Sugar/Facebook
Le Ky Patisserie 2411 Curry Ford Road, 407-413-5453 ”If you enjoy sweets with a subtle taste, you must visit this place!

Fortuna Bakery & Cafe 12701 S. John Young Parkway, 407-855-7070 ”Currently this place is a hot spot! Everyone loves their bake goods (including me), have not had anything yet that I do not like.

Valhalla Bakery 2603 E. South St, 407-613-5968 ”Located in Market On South, Valhalla Bakery and Dixie Dharma share the same space. They’ll do a temperature screening as part of COVID precautions, and masks are required for entry, which is rightfully appreciated. Looking at the display case, you’ll see desserts galore, and you can feel even better knowing they’re all vegan!”- Franky B. Photo via Valhalla Bakery/Facebook
Le Gourmet Break 150 S. Magnolia Ave, 407-371-9476 ”I’ve tried the macaroons, Nutella danish, and the croissant. All so amazing. Be sure to upgrade your meal to the combo and take your pastry home. You won’t regret ordering too much great food!”- Brooke T. Photo via Le Gourmet Break/Facebook

Se7en Bites 617 N. Primrose Drive, 407-203-0727 “I couldn’t resist stopping by the baked goods one more time for something to go. I settled on the campfire cookie. Two large chocolate chip cookies filled with a smooth marshmallow center. They basically took creative liberty on smores, and they succeeded. It was sweet and scrumptious. I am so happy that I finally had the opportunity to experience the pleasures of Se7en Bites.” -Pamela H. Photo via Se7en Bites/Facebook
Sister Honey’s 247 E. Michigan St, 407-730-7315 ”There’s a good selection of cakes, pies, cupcakes, cookies, and bread pudding; however, they change it up daily. If you want a whole pie, you have to order it 3 days in advance. The price is a tad higher but the taste and quality is well worth it.”- Mable G. Photo via Sister Honey’s/Facebook
Buttermilk Bakery 1198 Orange Ave, Winter Park, 321-422-4015 ”The baked goods are so delicious and truly a guilty calorie pleasure.

Valkyrie Doughnuts 12226 Corporate Blvd ”The donuts were delicious. To me they were like sweet bread with toppings. You can chose between donuts with very rich toppings or lighter toppings. Either way the donuts are substantial and beautifully decorated.”- Laura G. Photo via Valkyrie Doughnuts/Facebook
Gideon’s Bakehouse 3201 Corrine Drive ”Gideon’s Bakehouse is an Orlando treasure. They are extremely popular and for good reason – their products are consistently high quality, imaginative and delicious. This isn’t your standard chocolate chip cookie. With that being said, their cookies are really rich and big so you will probably be able to snack on one for a couple of days if not more.”- Jessica S. Photo via Gideon’s Bakehouse/Facebook
