Morning Light Bakery

I had heard a lot about this place and finally decided to give it a try. The staff were awesome—super friendly and helpful. The prices were very reasonable, which was a big plus. As for the food, it was good, but not quite what I expected. Some dishes were a bit too sugary for my taste, while others leaned more on the salty side. This is just my personal opinion, and since it was my first time trying it, I’m still a bit unsure about what the actual flavor profile is supposed to be. There were only two tables available for dining in, so I think they mainly focus on takeout. Parking can be a bit tricky, as they only have street parking that can fit about three cars. Overall, it’s a solid spot with great prices and worth trying out—especially if you’re doing takeout. I might give it another shot just to better understand the flavors.

A friend recommended this place to me and I finally decided to give it a try, it was 100% worth it! They have delicious bubble tea, sweet/savory buns, and many other things. The staff was friendly and the vibe was awesome. As someone who's 1/2 Chinese, the food hit the spot for me. Also they have very reasonable prices and are in a good location. For sure coming back for more tasty goodness :).

I’ve been to Morning Light several times, and it’s always a delight. The sesame balls (offered every other weekend) are incredible. So incredible that I have the sesame ball schedule repeating on my calendar. I also love the chicken curry bun. I tried the mochi sesame bread for the first time last weekend (offered on the alternating non-sesame ball weekends), and it is off the charts. Most notably, Ken is my favorite restaurant employee in all of VT. He is so sweet and friendly. If you’re having a down day, his kindness will brighten it up. We must protect Ken at all costs. This is a family owned business that makes delicious sweet and savory treats. Highly recommend enjoying their goodies. VT is lucky to have them!

i’ve been coming here for years, and still love them every time. the staff are always kind, the bubble tea is consistently good, and the pork floss buns are spectacular. always happy every time i go!

Whats not to love? A wide selection of authentic sweet and savory buns available at a very affordable price. I got the pork bun, the pastry was fluffy and light, while the pork was sweet and tender. A perfect combo!

We ordered a mix of 10 pastries/buns/tarts between two people. We finished everything. The weekend tea and coffee takes me back to Hong Kong. The owners are incredibly warm and friendly. This place is a gem and we are so lucky to have this here in Vermont.

This is the best bakery ever!! Everything is so fresh and so much thought and attention to detail is put in to the basked goods. My roommate and I treat ourselves to morning light any chance we get, we have tried 5 of the tea flavors and probably 10 different pastries. We have been so impressed time and time again. The cashier is so knowledgable and friendly he helped us decide what we should try and was so kind. I can't recommend Morning Light highly enough. (bonus, ask for the punch card for a free bubble tea every 10th time). A few of our favorites are the taro bun, pineapple bun, mango mochi, and green tea swiss roll, as well as the taro tea, and the messy bubble milk tea. Although we are pretty confident anything you get will be outstanding. <3 Evelyn and Nora

The buns are legit and remind me of the ones you would find in Chinatown’s. Picture is the cocktail (coconut) and roast pork buns. I also got a don tot (egg custard). The don tot could have used more filling and less crust. The filling also was a bit more on the creamier side texture wise. My only concern with this place is location, as there isn’t really any parking options. I suppose you could park across the street at winooski beverage and walk over.
