    The Delite Bakery neon sign.
    Fran C.

    While heading out to Lake View Cemetery my friend wanted to stop by this little mom & pop bakery called - Despi Delite Bakery. What can I say about Despi Delite Bakery? Nice little bakery featuring some traditional Filipino baked goods, as well as traditional Americanized baked goods, & beautifully decorated cakes. So what kine bakery grindz did we pick up? We picked two boxes of Siopao, one filled with chicken, and the other filled with pork. What is a "Siopao"? It's basically the Filipino version of a manapua. Only difference is the filling also has like an egg yolk mixture, mixed with the meats. Very tasty, not too much different from da local style Chinese manapua. We also picked up some rolls, chocolate glazed donuts, and a (custard) Leche Flan. Service here was on point, as the single clerk managing the ordering counter was friendly and efficient. There was quite a bit of foot traffic in this bakery, so it was nice to see a small neighborhood bakery doing well. The next time I'm in Seattle again (if I'm in the neighborhood), garans I'll stop by Despi Delite Bakery to try more of their bakery selections.

    Really nice selection of bakery! I wish perhaps they had a few more dairy free options but that's hard to do with a lot of these. The cakes looked particularly good! The lady behind the counter was polite and very efficient. It was quite empty but we were there around 4 on a Tuesday so not exactly busy time. For ambiance there's not really anywhere to sit so it's grab and go! The street parking is a little competitive too.

    My family frequented this bakery growing up and not much has changed in terms of quality. They are still serving up large pastries as early as 730am, and their cakes are pretty good too! I will say sometimes the cashiers take their own tip when giving you your change back so you may want to watch for that. Our favorites: glazed twist, chocolate hole, maple/bacon, and pizza croissant.

    My favorite spot for sheet cakes and donuts! I've ordered here for years, the sheet cakes are wonderful, favorite flavor combo is ube with coconut filling, they use a light whip cream frosting. It's always a hit at all parties we host, I sometimes buy a quarter sheet just to enjoy when there's no birthdays happening haha. Their donuts are so yummy, love the maple bars, the dough itself is super soft and very fluffy. Easy to eat a ton, so be careful. Only thing I wouldn't recommend is their individual sliced cake. Me and my friend just got the ube slice and coffee slice, they're rectangular, but the frosting was very very stiff, crumbled, and had a fake butter flavor/texture. They were nice about it and refunded the cake slices. But heads up, the individual slices DO NOT taste like the sheet cake. Not the same frosting. Besides that, high recommend their cakes and donuts and fresh breads!!

    Mini "ube" rolls - tastes nothing like ube but still delicious. ($4.49 for a bag of 8)

    Tried even more items from here and they are ALL INCREDIBLE. And so authentic. The owner is such a sweetheart :) Empanadas, Turon, and Ube Rolls were all incredible, and it's super fresh if you get them straight from the bakery. $11 for all the aforementioned!

    Wooooo!

    My mentor recommended this spot. He aint event Filipino! Had to try this myself. AMBIANCE: Parking: Mainly street parking. We didn't have issues finding a spot. Seating: There are standing tables/counter for a few people. Feels: Beacon Hill is a grit and grind area with some old town feels but up and coming progressive efforts as well. Close to the rail station and other eateries as well. The spot itself is nice, you can't miss it. It' a pretty bright place from the lighting and windows. You're welcomed with the smell of fresh baked goods. Great for a grab and go or if you need to slow down from the hustle and bustle of the Seattle city scene. FOOD: Ube Cake (Recommend) Excellent purple presentation with sneaky wonders. Soft bread, not too sweet and the surprise was the cream on the inside. The icing game was a little too strong for me in my opinion. But overall comforting. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! Friendly, helpful, and quick with the service. TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Great! Plenty of selections, reasonable prices, and deeeelightfully delicious. It's nothing special or must but a comforting local bite made with love. For Filipino or usual baked goods, check this place out! #FilipinoFoodMovement TIPS: * This is no hidden gem so come early! * Be sure to check out their other location: https://despidelitebakery.com/

    I tried the mini ube bread, fried mochi ball (delicious but super chewy), crossiant, pig in the blanket and apple fritter. Nothing stood out. Tip: Grab a day-old bag if you come early if you don't mind reheating at home

    I can't believe how many goodies we got for such a cheap price! You cannot find prices like these in Seattle! They even had Ube malasadas!!! And Ube croissants! I'm a huge fan of Ube and this place did not disappoint. We also tried the yellow bean and pork little ball pastries and they were yummy without being overly sweet! Highly recommend this place! There is a tiny parking lot right next to the building which is also super helpful. Not really any space to dine in.

    Ube pastries
    Mayu D.

    Tried here for the first time as we wanted to get ube dessert. These mini ube bread are good snack milk bread, but nothing special as you don't taste ube. The ensaymada (Filipino cheese bread) with ube was fresh and soft! I'd get this ensaymada again, but don't expect to taste ube. It's there, but you don't taste as much. It's still good though! Service: not so friendly (although there was one lady who was sweet) Ube bread: 2/5 (It's good, but not worth the trip or my stomach space for the repeat purchase.) Ensaymada w/ ube: 3.5/5 (not enough ube nor cheese like the way I remember eating in LA, but this is a good ensaymada in the area.) Parking: plenty of parking No sit down places though.

    Mini ube bread

    A delightful bakery!! :D I'd get there in the morning to take advantage of all of their offerings. Besides for the pictured bread and donut, we also got an ube cookie and a guava pastry. Everything is delicious! Guava could have had more filling and was only filled on one side. Donut and cookie though were absolutely delicious. They had an interesting looking purple drink(also ube??) that I want to try next time . No line when we went, and they'll take cash or card. Also nowhere to sit but we were on our way to lunch so that wasn't a problem. Very nice and helpful staff!

    Half sheet cake
    Lisa L.

    Best ube sheet cake in Seattle! Call at least a couple of days in advance to place your order. If you want to do half ube and half pandan, you'll need to order at least a half sheet with a $5 surcharge. It was $66 as of August 2023. Quarter sheet was $45 as of April 2024. The recommended filling is coconut amongst a number of other options. The cake is always a hit at parties and even for non-Filipinos who may not know what ube is. Besides sheet cakes, they also have a variety of other pastries lined up in the bakery. Check it out if you're in the north Beacon Hill neighborhood.

The store is spacious with a garage door that I can only imagine would be nice to open on summer days. I ordered their s'mores cake. It can either come in a smoked cake or their dark decadence. I went with the dark decadence. It comes with a toasted marshmallow, graham cracker (house made?), and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on a bed of chocolate sauce. This was *so* decadent. I wanted something sweet yet warm since the weather was getting cold. This would pair nicely with a warm drink which I would get next visit. Curious to try their cookies & ice cream next time. I have a few minor hiccups with my visit. One issue fell with the compostable bowl.

I haven't ever branched out past the #1 or #2, because they're so good. There is something about the bread at Tony's that is a cut above all others in the crowded field of affordable, non-"elevated" bahn mis in S. Seattle and White Center. The hot bar is good too, and has a large variety of dishes and sides. By the register, there is usually a variety of salad rolls, bahn cuon, and sometimes other fresh veg + meat + noodle options. Tony's is my favorite lunch, whether I grab it first thing in the AM, or stop in midday. They also do bulk orders and big cakes that look delicious. P.S. I feel I must also mention that there is some very elegant penmanship on display in signs written in English and Vietnamese--which alone is a strong reason to pay Tony's a visit.

From big tray of chicken wings to fried rice, they have plenty of items which I'll order next time if I'm hosting a party. The grilled pork banh mi was excellent overall. The pork was flavorful and well-seasoned, the fillings were fresh and balanced, and everything came together nicely. The only downside was the baguette, it wasn't as crunchy as I prefer. That said, the overall taste was still very satisfying, and it's definitely a banh mi I'd recommend. If you're someone who likes the traditional banh mi then I'd recommend the House Special, which was the 3 kind of hams with pork or chicken of your choice.
