Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Lake Proctor

"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."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. This eatery is probably one of Orlando’s most popular bake shops. However, it is also known for serving some of the most sumptuous and tasty breakfast items that both locals and tourists come here for."

"A local favorite that has been featured on the news , publications, and got a visit from the Food Network and Guy Fieri. The line to get in wraps around the building, and is worth the wait. They specialize in incredible baked goods and signature breakfast foods."

"Serving breakfast and lunch in addition to desserts, The Glass Knife in Winter Park is headed by Executive Chef Stuart Whitfield. Hardcore Disney fans might recognize that name as belonging to the maestro who previously sweetened up menus at Victoria and Albert’s, Be Our Guest Restaurant and other Walt Disney World Resort favorites. Learn more: Winter Park"

"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."

"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."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. When it comes to breakfast, nothing is better than having the old classics. This is what Nick’s Family Diner is all about."

"Orange Blossom Trail, is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the diner and traditional American and breakfast/brunch spot 4.5 stars out of 199 reviews."

"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!"

"Although not totally vegan (they use milk from local Florida grass fed cows), The Greenery Creamery is doing their bit with a great range of dairy-free ice creams that are seriously scrumptious. Flavours are creative and change every day, with seasonal specials. Right now there’s a vegan spiced ginger molasses cookie filled with a pumpkin cinnamon almond ice cream."

"Another Disney chef, this time of the pastry variety, has absconded from the Mouse to open an independent operation, much to the delight of residents of and frequent visitors to Orlando's burgeoning and increasingly hip Hourglass District. Le Ky Patisserie, located inside the still-expanding Hourglass Social House, Le Ky will keep fine company with fellow business Foxtail Coffee, with its delicious and supremely artful pastries, including peanut butter banana mousse and chocolate-raspberry macarons. Oft-fused French-Vietnamese staples (banh mi, for example) help round out the sweet menu with savories."

"Along with its incredibly tempting selection of sweets, cakes and pastries – Danish to éclair, pound cake to scone (even sweet Nutella empanadas on occasion) – this unassuming little Oviedo bakery is a coffee lovers' haven, serving up delightful, frothy and/or cream-topped cups of artisan, micro-roasted batch brews. And yes, there's hot chocolate, too. The menu here changes daily, which is the wonderful nature of local bakeries, but you can stop in for breakfast and lunch, as well."

"The most difficult thing about stepping up to the great wall of bread at Olde Hearth's East End Market outpost is not buying more than you came for. Whatever your carb-coma drug of choice is, odds are really good they have it. And since Old Hearth uses only the highest quality ingredients, you'll feel less guilty about tearing off chunks in the car on the way home."

"Another park with great views is Sand Point Park, which is right on the Indian River. This park is a great place to bring the kiddos because there’s a nice playground and splash pad. There is also a half-mile exercise trail that is paved and has workout machines along the way."

"Sand Point Park is a community park located beside the Indian River. It is also the home ground of Titusville Little League. Once in the park, you’ll espy Astronaut Memorial on its south entrance."

"Minutes from the busy city life of neighboring Orlando, visitors will find a serene escape in the Art and History’s five museums nestled within two campuses. Visitors can fill a day exploring the Maitland Art Center, Maitland Historical Museum, Telephone Museum, Waterhouse Residence Museum, and Carpentry Shop Museum. Just step inside the restored Waterhouse Residence Museum and be whisked away to Victorian times as you stroll through a guided tour admiring the Eastlake staircase and plush furnishings or reminisce about the turn of the century with woodworking tools, including ones used by Mr. Waterhouse himself."

"Part of Maitland’s cultural lineup, Art & History Museums — Maitland has so much to offer that it can’t be contained by one building. Instead, it is spread out over two campuses, both of which are on the National Register of Historic Places: the Maitland Art Center and the Victorian-era Waterhouse Residence Museum. The Maitland Art Center is also a National Historic Landmark, thanks in large part to unique Aztec- and Mayan-influenced architecture and one of the southeast’s only remaining examples of Mayan Revival designs."

"Just minutes from Downtown Orlando, the five museums that comprise the Art & History Museums – Maitland feature countless opportunities for visitors to experience hands-on history and fine art exhibitions."

"Located in Maitland close to Winter Park, about 30 minutes north of International Drive, the Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center doesn’t just teach about the past. It also focuses on a future that is free of antisemitism and all forms of prejudice and bigotry. One of this museum’s most unique exhibits invites you to don Oculus googles for a powerful virtual-reality experience that will transport you to the secret annex where Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis, with Frank sharing her inspirational story along the way."
