Valhalla Bakery
2603 E. South St.
All of the flavorful and vegan-friendly desserts at Valhalla (especially the doughnuts) are so popular they go quickly. If your favorite doughnut flavors are sold out by the time you arrive, we recommend the Nanaimo bar, it's just as delicious.

Bubbles & Ice
811 N. Mills Ave., 407-895-8833
Shaved snow is made from flavored, milky (though non-dairy) ice: frozen into giant blocks, heaved onto a rotating spit and shaved into gossamer-thin layers. The flavor and topping possibilities are almost endless, but honeydew snow topped with multicolored sprinkles and fruity popping pearls is especially refreshing.
