Picked a fresh strawberry birthday cake in a weekend afternoon…read more The parking lot was a little chaotic in this shopping center. The bakery is very clean and put together. The lady working there was very nice. There is a large selection of baked goods. The cakes are very light and fluffy, not too sweet. They're more on the pricey side but for the quality, its worth it.

I stopped at the new Regent bakery. I used to frequent when they were in Redmond that's no longer…read morethere according to the staff. Sad day. I bought a slice of mango mousse and a fruit tart. They used to be like $3 per slice I miss those days. The quality was what I expected nothing has changed. Same good cake. There are no eating area so takeout only. It's such a good location right across from Uwajimaya Bellevue. I will visit to satisfy my craving for sweets.

Their cakes are also heavenly and perfect sizes to try multiple flavors - I loved strawberry mochi, earl grey, black sesame, and mango. Everything is super soft, moist, and not too sweet. Service is also very sweet and nice. They also warm up the pastries for you thoroughly which I really appreciate. Inside is also super cute.

We tried a mix of their classics: a strawberry cake, mango cake, black sesame cake, a plain…read morecroissant, and a 16 oz caramel oat iced latte. First impressions: the space is genuinely charming. Everything is thoughtfully presented--very dreamy, almost cloud‑like in aesthetic. You want to love it before you even take a bite. The fruit cakes were pleasant, but this is where personal preference really matters. For me, I always lean toward more fruit, less cream. While the whipped cream feels light at first, after a few bites it starts to feel heavy and a bit greasy on the palate--pretty, but not especially restrained. The black sesame cake was the most interesting--and the most polarizing. The first bite was a true wow: deep, nutty, and indulgent. But as I worked through it, the texture became confusing. There were jelly‑like cubes mixed in that broke up the experience in a way I couldn't quite reconcile. I love black sesame, but this particular execution wasn't entirely my thing. The standout, without question, was the croissant. It's excellent--beautifully laminated, crisp where it should be, tender where it counts. I completely understand why they've earned awards here. I only wished there were a savory vegetarian option to explore the full range of what they can do. As for the coffee: visually, it's spot‑on. Flavor-wise, it misses the mark. Pouring caramel over the top without integrating it into the pulled shots means it sinks straight to the bottom. The result is an unbalanced experience--mild up top, an overwhelming sugar bomb at the end. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish it. All that said, it was genuinely fun to try, and it's the kind of place I'd revisit out of curiosity--especially to see what shows up seasonally. I'd absolutely be intrigued by something like a passionfruit offering.

Pretty solid bakery!…read more Stopped by at 10:30 on a Saturday and it was quiet! Not many people in the store which was nice. We ordered drinks on the order screens before grabbing a tray to check out the treats. They have a huge variety of items and everything is well labeled! We grabbed 6 baked items and tried ranking them but had a hard time because we enjoyed them all! We tried Bacon and cheese bread: 3/5, everything was on top, I think it would've been better with the cheese throughout and warmed Strawberry danish: 4/5! Very yummy, nice light cream and a crispy croissant Egg tart: 4/5! A little less eggy and more custardy than I thought it would be, but tasty! Sugar cream cheese bun: 4/5! My personal favorite! Crispy on the outside bread and soft on the inside, love the cream cheese Ube bread: 3/5, bread was good, but it was hollow with a light swipe of ube on the inside Hokkaido custard bun: 4/5! Super sweet but good! Almost too much custard for me, especially after 5 other treats, but would be great if this was the only one you had! The iced taro lavender latte was delicious!! I wasn't sure about the lavender on top of taro but it was a super light flavor and so good! Caffeine free The prices were great!

85 DEGREE BAKERY @ BELLEVUE…read more Parking at this location can be a bit tricky. This 85°C Bakery is located in a large plaza that's always busy, especially since it's surrounded by popular food spots and restaurants. Because of that, the area can get pretty packed, but I was still really excited to stop by this location. As soon as you walk in, the space feels very open and spacious. I loved how big it was and how many tables they had available. Most 85°C Bakery locations feel more like a grab-and-go spot, so I appreciated that this one had plenty of seating and room to hang out. They also have touchscreen kiosks where you can order drinks and other items without needing help from a staff member. We walked around and looked at all the bakery items, and I'm always a fan of their almond croissants and protein breads. The chicken Hawaiian bun is one of my favorites, and their sausage bun is also delicious it's clearly a popular item. I also ordered their sea salt coffee. If you download the 85°C Bakery app and it's your first time using it, you get a free sea salt coffee, which was a nice bonus. While the food and drinks were great, the service was unfortunately lacking. One customer was confused about her order, and a staff member rolled her eyes at her. The same staff member also rolled her eyes at me and my family while we were in line. Overall, the staff didn't seem very friendly or welcoming. There wasn't much smiling or engagement, and it felt like everyone was annoyed rather than excited to help. We also noticed staff packaging food with boxes out in the open during our visit. I personally think this is something that should be done in the back or at least behind the register, rather than directly in front of customers. Overall, the experience was decent mainly because the bakery items and drinks were fresh and delicious. However, the staff could definitely be friendlier, as customer service plays a big role in the overall experience.

On a warm day, you can pull up a chair, spread your sugary treasures across the table, and suddenly feel like you're starring in The Sound of Music. The staff was lovely, and the mocha was meh. That said, when it comes to coffee, I'm still a Starbucks dude (no public shaming, please).

The crepe was exactly as advertised! Spicy with fresh veggies sauté perfectly and the crepe was perfectly cooked! The latte was strong. The croissant was out of this world!

Great way to treat yourself. You deserve it!…read more Texture is more moist and dense than I expected (this is a mille crepe made of stacked crepes, not a mille feuille which is layered puff pastry), but I appreciate that the flavor is not as sweet as most American style cakes and pastries. The decor is kind of a hoot. Feels like you are sitting at Nordstrom's cosmetics counter, but fun nonetheless.

Why does Mercer Island have an abundance of fantastic bakeries?…read more La Fete is a petite pastry / coffee shop that has amazing pastries. The earlier you come the more likely you will get to eat the delicious pastries, but if you come past 11 AM you likely won't find much. Their croissants are always on the menu, but many of their pastries are seasonally available so you have to come back. I haven't tried their sandwiches yet, but those pastries are amazing. The staff here are so nice too! Super tolerant as my indecision took over my brain seeing so many pastries! I think not having anyone behind me helped with that - a rare slow moment - because once the door opened I waved the white flag, asked them to pick me 3 of their favorites and off I went. The only problem with that is I can't recall the names of what I bought. The croissant, easy. The little puffy pastry with big sugar flakes and apricot that was very light? No clue except it was delicious.

Really enjoyed this little cafe! The pastries are baked in house and are delightful. We had the…read morealmond croissant and the raspberry chocolate croissant and both were excellent though I preferred the almond. Espresso was solid. They also have small baguette sandwiches that I'd like to try next time. There was tons of traffic on a weekday morning. Overall a small space with a few small tables inside and an outdoor patio with more tables which will be lovely as the weather gets warmer, but we were able to grab a table. Great place for catching up with someone.

I never thought I'd say I visited a car dealership to buy some macarons, but this is a true story!…read moreMacadons is located all the way in the back of the Lexus of Bellevue as their café. The two of us arrived for their grand opening where one of the deals included a free beverage with the purchase of six macarons. Luckily, we were within the first 20 visitors, so we each also got a box of pre-packed assorted mini macarons (normally a $14 value). The employees were all really kind and welcoming, packing up the macarons and preparing our matcha with care. I could see them meticulously whisking the matcha behind the counter. The macarons were light, had slightly crisp shells and that ideal bit of chew in the middle. Of the flavors I tried, these were my favorite: + PASSION FRUIT - perfect balance of tartness and sweetness with bright tropical notes. + VIETNAMESE COFFEE - the flavor was reminiscent of instant coffee, and it was a little sweeter than expected, but I still enjoyed it. + MATCHA - you could taste the strength of the tea in the cream! Notable mentions to the STRAWBERRY and GUAVA, as they both tasted how I thought they would. I was sadly disappointed with the PISTACHIO and PEACH since their flavors were not as pronounced... I'm not sure I'd be able to detect them with a blind taste taste. I enjoyed my MATCHA LATTE which I requested with oat milk and a pump of vanilla. The matcha was a lovely deep green and I actually felt a little caffeine hit later, so they must have poured in a generous serving. Although we received the grand opening specials, I'm treating my rating as if we visited on any normal day. That said, the price point is one of the main drivers for my 4-star review. Macarons can be purchased as a single for $3.75, 6 for $21, or a dozen for $40. I consider all of these prices to be steep and it's tough for me to justify that value (even if that's the going price for macarons these days), so I'd probably return only if they offer a promotion, depending on what it is.

The macaroons are so addictive! Paired perfect with hot tea. The Bellevue location is inside the…read moreLexus dealer so you'll have to do a little stroll. But it's so nice that they have spaces that you can get work done with a nice ambience. Staff is nice and helpful.
