The Baker's Son is one of those places where you walk in for one thing and somehow leave with a…read morefull basket... every single time. Everything looks so good it's basically impossible to choose just one treat. Big fan of the Spam musubi --always grab one. The Dubai chocolate croissants are insanely good, and honestly anything ube they make is a must. The flavors are always on point and everything tastes super fresh. Perfect spot when you're in the mood to treat yourself (or when you fully accept you're leaving with way more than you planned). Easily one of my favorite stops for pastries and snacks.

It might be even better if they added a few raisins to it. We'll be back for this item periodically. We also tried a mango float ($6). It was good, and had more whipped cream in it than the one I'm used to, but I've probably had slightly better examples. For $6, it's not a great value: smaller than the cinnamon roll and not as good. I might get it again, but probably not at that price. This remains one of my favorite bakeries in town, and we'll be back periodically. Update: We tried another cinnamon roll. This time we thought it was fantastic, the best thing I've eaten in a long time. 25 seconds microwaved again. We'll have to get one periodically.

After a recent lunch near the town center, we were looking for a good dessert spot. We basically…read moretried Light On The Sugar Bakery Cafe because of how close it was to where we were. What a lucky course of events! There is seating both inside and outside. The interior clean, bright, elegant and simple. The staff were friendly and we were served very quickly. The only wait was for the coffees ordered at my table. They were fantastic as well. I ordered the Tiramisu pie. Amazing texture, velvety layers, perfect flavor blend, bold, just the right amount of sweet...delicious. We'll be back to try more and if you haven't visited Light on The Sugar Bakery Cafe, I highly suggest you do.

My Key Lime Pie Puff was great although I would've loved a slightly more baked graham cracker crust. I also had a try of the Tiramisu cake slice and that could've been a bit HEAVIER on the sugar, if you know what I mean. Overall, I would absolutely pop in again.

The next morning, we had the sausage and scallion bun at home. I liked it, maybe more than the pork bun, and would get it again, though it had the advantage of being reheated at home in the microwave. My wife liked the dough, the hot dog less so (and I must admit the hot dog in the croissant we had a while ago at Cruffin & Tea was better). I'd get this again, though probably trying the regular hot dog bun instead of the scallion one next time. I'd asked the server if she could reheat our items when I bought them, but she said no, and didn't seem to understand English well. So far, I've preferred the savory things to the sweets here. Each item was $3-3.25, so a better value than the other bakeries I go to. I will return to this place periodically, but I still prefer places like Cruffin & Tea and Le Petit Paris, so I'm giving Mai Xiang Garden Bakery an average rating, 3 stars: pretty good, but not above average for a bakery, other than the good value.

From the moment we laid eyes on the pastry case, our jaws were on the floor. Everything we had was amazing -- the breakfast sandwich on sourdough, ham & cheese croissant, matcha cheesecake blueberry croissant tart, and the brie country ham & hot honey galette. JUST WOW! We also got some lattes to fuel our morning and I opted for their special brown butter sesame latte -- yum! The bakery itself is very cute with some market and pantry items available to shop as well. The staff was very patient as we asked a million questions about all the pastries before making our selections. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the downtown Jax area!

Yes to all the carbs in this bakehouse!…read more I was in town for a work event and we decided to grab a bite from here since Gabi recommended. It DID NOT disappoint. A cute little spot with a lot of specialized baked goods that will make you want to get one of everything. The service was super friendly and helpful. We ended up getting a few of the baked goods to share for breakfast and I got the matcha lemonade. The lemonade was a good change of pace from my usual matcha latte. To share, we got the matcha cheesecake blueberries danish, the brie country ham and hot honey galette, and a ham and cheese croissant. Everything was delicious and devoured! The inside is also super cute to peruse around and maybe grab something. They have stickers, and a few odds and ends that might interest anyone to get at least one thing. Such a cute bakehouse in Jax!

The sweet treats and smoothies look great too and I'll have to try that next time. The owners are from Guatemala and very kind! They have pastries from there and all different countries. I'll have to come back soon!

My second favorite was the carrot cake but honestly everything was good so you really can't go wrong!

Fortunately, you can avoid some of the wait if you get your food to-go. They have reserved parking spots right next to the entrance and a whole separate area to order to-go food. I came on a Thurs at 1130am and was able to order/leave in 15-20 minutes. What made me fall in love with this place was, believe it or not, the Caesar salad dressing!!! It had so much flavor and was so addicting I ate the salad in 5 minutes. The Hot Italian sandwich had tender flavorful meats, great addition with the banana peppers, and bread was light/fluffy/spot on! The wedding cake was SO GOOD! Layers of moist cake, creamy icing and sweet strawberries. Yum! The inside decor wasn't very fancy but who cares when the food's so good? Will totally be back.

They have good reviews on Yelp as well as Google. They have plenty of parking in the front of the store. I got a dozen of varieties of large donuts for about $40 ($3 each).

The hospital staff enjoyed the doughnuts (based on their smiles and caring for my dad!) The people at the shop is also very nice and friendly!

The venue is pristine, elegant, and impeccably maintained. The hospitality was top-tier from start to finish.

To unwind after a long day, I ordered an Espresso Martini, which was mixed to sheer perfection smooth, rich, and an absolute delight.
