Bakery 1908: The Mills 50 Bakery Orlando Rates Above All Others
Bakery 1908 takes No. 1 in our Bakeries rankings with a Net Score of 93.4 — why it won, and what to get when you go.
2 minute read
Bakery 1908 is the No. 1 bakeries pick in Orlando — not by our say-so, but by the numbers. In Orlando Citizen’s Top Businesses rankings, it posted a Net Score of 93.4, the highest in its category, on a blended 4.8★ drawn from 1,935 public reviews. This is the winner’s profile: why it won, what to get when you go, and the details that make it a Mills 50 fixture.
Why it won
Our Net Score blends a business’s public ratings across the review sources we could retrieve — here: Google 4.8★ (1,916), TripAdvisor (19 reviews) — weights them by review volume, and then applies Bayesian shrinkage (m = 200) so a handful of five-star reviews can’t outrank a proven track record. Bakery 1908 cleared a field of 16 ranked businesses in Bakeries. It finished just ahead of the No. 2 spot, Se7en Bites (93.1). Scores compare only within a category, and the underlying ratings were retrieved November 14, 2026.
What to get
The Golden Onion Roll — one reviewer says it alone is worth the visit — plus pineapple buns, Portuguese egg tarts and the siu mai from the dim sum side of the house.
The names that come up again and again in its listings: Honey walnut chicken, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, Tiramisu latte.
Worth knowing
The best trays sell out by early afternoon. Arrive before 11 on weekends or accept whatever is left.
The local detail
A Hong Kong- and Taiwanese-style bakery with seven bakers on staff — and, by its own billing, the only bakery in Florida serving dim sum next to the pastry case.
