    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
    Madeleine C.

    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.

I've been here a few times and always had a positive experience. The line was short but can definitely build up but not as long as some other options on the street. I had a spinach flaky roll and latte. Both were just right and honestly above average. I will be back and the vibes of the area are worth coming back to not to mention exactly what Le Pannier's great at too.

    Honestly, I was taken aback by the raving reviews here because my first (and it would be my last)…read morevisit to Le Panier fell completely short of expectations. So, what went well, and what has plenty of room for improvement? SERVICE - 5/5 The staff was super friendly and just really cool! I especially appreciated that he grabbed the pain au chocolat from the back at my request. I did not want mine touching the almond croissants displayed so closely together. I wanted a pain au chocolat, not an almond pain au chocolat. Sorry! AMBIANCE - 4/5 A very busy bakery/café located at Pike Place Market, near Starbucks. I liked the wall décor and the overall cozy vibe. Finding an empty seat may be a challenge? KOUIGN-AMANN/PAIN AU CHOCOLAT/MERINGUE - 2/5 Kouign-amann - 0/5 It pained me to give a kouign-amann such a low score, especially because it is my all-time favorite pastry. But this one was so subpar that I could not even finish it. It was, frankly, a complete waste of butter, flour, sugar and labor. I once lodged a complaint with a GM and Director of F&B at a certain Ritz-Carlton because their kouign-amanns were so bad that I asked them to stop whoever was making them. Since then, there has been a huge improvement, and that is what genuine feedback should accomplish. Pastry integrity is of utmost importance, and pastry crime is hardly forgivable. Pain au Chocolat - 2/5 Doughy and deeply disappointing. I simply cannot reconcile this with the fact that Le Panier has supposedly been a beloved fixture of Seattle's food scene since 1983. MERINGUE -- 5/5 Can anyone possibly mess up a meringue?? It is extremely disappointing to visit what is supposed to be a legendary, quintessential French bakery in Seattle, only to find that the two pastries I was most looking forward to, the kouign-amann and pain au chocolat, were both such letdowns. A café/bakery cannot survive on service and ambiance alone. The pastries have to deliver too. Time to rehone the baking skills, Le Panier.

They have so many yummy options, but I settled on a mushroom and Gruyère pastry and an earl grey blueberry cruffin. The mushroom and Gruyère pastry was SO good!!! Buttery flaky layers of dough with a strong earthy mushroom flavor and savory cheese - an absolute umami bomb. We ate it the day after and threw it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes, and it was so delicious. The cruffin was huge! Topped with a delicious light Earl grey cream that wasn't too sweet. It was filled with a blueberry cream and was definitely very filling. There's a lot of sugar coating it, as is standard with cruffins, but it's a nice sweet treat. Definitely coming back for the mushroom and Gruyère pastry and to try their other delicious flavors. Their supreme croissant flavor switches often and we can't wait to try the next one!

I originally planned to just grab a coffee and a croissant, but after noticing how popular the mushroom Gruyere croissant seemed, I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did.

While they serve Umbria coffee, which isn't my personal favorite, the food more than made up for it. The service was warm and friendly, and the overall vibe was welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try the mushroom croissant again or maybe explore some of their other pastries next time.

If you can find parking in the Cap Hill area I would definitely consider this as an option for a sweet treat. I think the prices are really reasonable considering some of the other options. Staff: 5/5 (nice) Sanitation: 5/5 (clean) Soft serve w/syrups (5/5) I've had most of the syrups that they offer with their vanilla soft serve. The soft serve itself is a really creamy and rich vanilla milk flavor. I would say it's closer to that Asian milk flavor if you know what I mean. I think the hojicha syrup is my favorite out of all the ones I've tried so far. It has a really nice roasty flavor and not something you can find at most other places. The matcha I would say is my second favorite. The flavor of the matcha syrup is definitely lighter compared to the hojicha but still is a nice compliment to the soft serve. The black sesame would be the lowest on my list out of the, all since I felt like the flavor was too nutty like it was a blend of sesame and potentially a nut. Overall I would definitely go back for the hojicha but if you're not into that there's definitely solid options for other flavors.

I have so many things that I need to go back and try, most likely with a group, so I can try lots of things.

I ended up going with the burrata focaccia sandwich which came with burrata, roasted bing cherries, pistachio butter, balsamic, arugula, and sea salt focaccia. SOOOO yummy. Great sandwich, and I am so glad that they did lunch items early in the AM. The cherries were such a unique addition to the sandwich but worked well, and they were also representative of the local area (Rainier Cherries). I wish that there was flaky salt on the bread.

Overall, I'd say their pastries were generally good not great and were significantly sogged up by 12:30 PM when I grabbed em. Their patisserie is stronger than the pastries IMO and while I wouldn't wait in a crazy line, it's still lovely neighborhood spot and perhaps the pastries are a better texture earlier in the day. Highlights: - Miso Roasted White Chocolate Cronut: My favorite item in their current rotation. The cronut was a tad soggy, but the buttery texture inside is still satisfying and the miso white chocolate filling is lusciously smooth and perfectly balanced between savory and sweet. - Blackberry Corn Mousse Cake: Blueberry mousse is the perfect fluffy texture and the corn is very subtle. The sponge cake is light and perfectly contrasts against the bottom layer of crunchies to add a bit of variety. - Blueberry Corn Croissant: Pastry also held up quite well on this one with the outside still being quite crisp. The inner cream unlike the mousse cake is very corn forward with a bit of blueberry jam to balance it out. Skip: - Black Forest Cake: Found the cake to be a bit too firm with the cream filling to be a little bland and too firm as well. Just wanted this to be better than it was. Also, it looks totally different from the photo on their website heads up. - Tomato Basil Croissant: Just found this to be off ratio wise. The only tomato is the 3 small quarters of cherry tomato at the top and a light smear of basil cream. I can see this being very good, but current form factor isn't doing it any favors.
