The pandan cake rolls at Despi Delite are going to keep me coming back week after week. It's a pandan sponge cake that's wrapped with a coconut cream center. It's the perfect treat after a nice meal. Some other yelpers have raved about the ube bread/rolls but I was not a fan. It tasted more like a dense hawaiian roll and I could not taste the ube flavor. I'll skip on this on my next visit. There are other sweets/pastries to try at this bakery. I'll be back to try the Ube Cheesecake! read more

Top notch I've had my birthday cakes made for my kids by them for years. This year unfortunately we had accidentally damaged the cake before the birthday. I was hoping they could possibly fix it. I brought it back the next morning hoping they could smooth it out but instead they redid the whole topping and wow they were so kind and Mom who felt so bad damaging the cake was so relieved. My daughter had an amazing birthday thanks to the staff at Despi Delite Bakery! Thank you again!!! read more

Best place in Seattle to eat, order and relish Ube Cake. The young coconut slices inside the Ube Cake makes this cake extra special and unique. I had taken the frozen Ube cake from Delite for some one special's birthday in India and it became a massive hit over there!!! read more

I ordered two Ube birthday cakes and they were absolutely delicious and beautiful as well. From ordering to pick up all was perfect

Great neighborhood bakery in Beacon Hill. I hadn't been to Despi Delite for a few years, but was in the area and stopped in. They are a Filipino bakery that has been around for a long time. I see a lot of their baked goods all around at Seattle grocery stores. They had donuts, cakes, cookies, Mexican breads and pastries, cheesecakes, etc. They make all kinds of stuff. Including wedding and birthday cakes. After processing all of the choices, I ended up getting chicken siopao. Not thrilling. Prices were reasonable and service was quick and friendly. I will definitely return, the parking lot makes it a lot easier to visit. read more

Wow I mean wow there donuts are something else I was amaze also was little shock on the price they are on the high side but I guess this is what you. Pay for fresh donuts these days. They have a lot of other items I am gonna have try read more

The Filipino delicacies were great as always . We had been going to this bakery ever since we immigrated in 1993 and we especially love their empanadas, special order cakes, rolls, and siopao among every goodies that you can buy here. We had ordered cakes over the phone and the ladies were very helpful to make our experience pleasant. The location is accessible via Beacon Hill and a short distance from the Columbia Exit from I-5 South and inside the bakery- you can feel right away the welcoming Filipino hospitality and see the cleanliness of the place which is a plus. read more

Got a few donuts and an empanada. Sooo soft and delicious! Ate most of the first donut before even driving away.

Best bakery in the north end by far!! So many choices, you'll be overwhelmed with the variety of deliciousness. From the classical to "voodoo" type donuts, you can't go wrong with what you choose. Their cakes and speciality baked goods are worth trying out. Great service with fast lines. Don't pass this bakery up, it's worth the wait! read more

A bounty to choose from at this neighborhood bakery. The portions are huge: two could share a croissant--but why would you? They also have some Filipino specialties and people come just for them. We fed six for 28 bucks, and we tried almost everything. read more

Amazing bakery and delicious sheet cakes. Nothing beats ube cake with custard filling, I'll be making a trip to this bakery for years to come. read more

You know, if the cake was like $10 this wouldn't of bothered me. But the fact that it was about $40, SHE messed up on her own because she's not looking at the paper, and she was trying to say that we were wrong, is what annoyed me the most. Like she didn't even bother to smooth it out. Its like she scrapped it off, put frosting then wrote on it, thinking no one would notice. Everyone noticed. How awkward cause they already automatically knew it was a cake from Delite.. I rarely order cakes from Delite and when so do, they never fail to disappoint me. read more

Went here on an acquaintance's rave review of their Ube bread. And it was WOWWW... fantastic . Going in I just wanted to order their ube bread and ube cheesechake. The bill was under 10bucks and they asked for cash which i didn't carry so I added chicken empanada and pecan pie. The ube bread was as soft as a bread can be but I must mention that it had like a thin lining of ube in contrast to the images that I see on Yelp. Nevertheless, it was yummy! The empanada was a let down but cheesecake and pecan pie were absolutely delicious. Definitely going there when we are close by read more

Despi has an assortment of popular pastries. The dough was nice and airy and had great flavor. We tried the maple bar, glazed, croissants (amazing), pig in a blanket, and sprinkled donuts for the kiddos. They are more on the sweeter side for those with a sweet tooth. read more

Disgusting!! They cheated. That's NOT "ube". Tastes like playdough . Even when you pull the ube apart it's just artificial violet colored substance, and nowhere near tastes like UBE. Check the ingredients!! The colorings red#3 and blue#1 appear to be mixed with cornstarch and some kind of fat solids. There is no Ube in the ingredients at all. Looking at the pastry, it appears 80% "ube" so one would expect it to top the ingredients list....but it doesn't exist. So what's that violet stuff???? This is straight cheating and false advertising. This is not even edible, everyone in my family threw up in their mouths. read more

It has been quite a few years since I've been to this bakery. How long you may ask? Well, it has been so long that I remember when they used to be on Beacon Avenue and didn't realize they relocated to a new building a few blocks away on 15th Avenue South! I was on a doughnut run on this visit and was pleasantly surprised that a morning rush of people didn't wipe out the doughnut selection! Since the doughnuts are not your typical sized doughnuts; they're freaking huge, so I would say they are about 1.5 times larger than standard size (to me). I ended up purchasing a half-dozen doughnuts. There are not a whole lot of Filipino bakeries out there, so it is nice to know that you can get fresh pan de sal and ube-based pastry and cakes, too! read more

This is my all time favorite Filipino Bakery growing up. They have timeless favorites from my childhood. Once you step in this bakery you smell all the amazing fresh pastries being made. EVERYTIME I come here I leave with so many goodies, you really taste the love & quality in each bite no matter if you get doughnuts, empanadas , cakes they don't skip out. The lovely ladies who help us are so friendly and sweet. I love how clean , organized and sweet this spot is. Definitely worth coming too all the time, me and my husband drive from Auburn just to go here and get our favorites. I just tried the ube Cheesecake it has been by far my FAVORITE one , even better then the ones I tried all over Seattle. The price points for each pastry is sooo reasonable , you get great deals here. Stop by and support a local long time Filipino business you won't regret it. read more

"Carbo loading on Filipino baked goods." Walking into Despi Delight Bakery brings back some childhood memories. The smell of freshly baked sweet breads, neatly packaged filipino desserts, and other snacks were enough to forget about the new year's resolution of less carbs. This bakery is located in the neighborhood Beacon Hill. They specialize in filipino snacks, baked goods, and cakes. I have seen their pre-packaged breads on sale at local filipino grocery stores, however have not visited the actual shop. The vast amount of pastries to choose from is impressive. We ended up purchasing a package of the ensymada, pandesal and ube rolls. Ensymada: This is a sweet bread which is fluffy and topped with butter, grated cheese, and granulated sugar. This is perfect for breakfast served with coffee or simply as a snack. Ube Roll: Sweet rolls with sweetened ube (purple yam) filling. For some, this is an acquired taste and texture. This is also good for breakfast or as a snack. Pandesal: This is a filipino staple. This type of bread roll is usually served with fried egg, cheese, or spam. This is a versatile bread that can be served with jams, jellies, or even nutella. I noticed a separate case full of filipno sweets. I plan on returning to try their silvanias, and if available, ube macapuno cake (purple yam and coconut cake). Service was friendly and efficient. The always smiled and carefully packed our baked goods. read more

This Filipino bakery has pretty good pastries here. I got: ~Ube cheesecake ($3.20), it was decent not the best. I have had better cheesecake before. Score: 7.5/10. ~Hopia Mongo/Baboy x 6 ($0.48) each, it was decent. I can't really describe the taste though. Score: 6.5/10. ~Cronut ($2.70 each), a cronut is basically like a croissant and a donut together. The cronut was glazed and was pretty good, but a bit too sugary for me. Score: 8.5/10. ~Ube slice bread thing ($3.80), it was fine. The bread was sugary and pretty sweet, the Ube filling was fine. Score: 7.5/10. Overall, this bakery is better than some since it is cheaper and pretty good for the price do the foods. Would recommend! read more

One of those places that hasn't changed even though the neighborhood has. Delite is one of those places I'd drive to on my day off to go buy ube. This is the place where I get my ube in Seattle. The ube bread is soft and a fairly good amount of the well known purple filling. My personal favorite are the ube rolls. They are pretty dense but a couple of bags will go a long ways for two people. These are the same ones you can buy at Uwajamaya. More fresh and cheaper too! Most of the time I've been to the bakery in the mornings and there is typically some sort of line. The ladies are quick and they have their display case stocked with baked goods. I can't say that I've ever tasted their cakes, but they all look so wonderful. Parking is a bit of a pain but you can take the link and walk a block to get here. The view up the street of downtown is one of my favorites. read more

Don't ya hate it when you rush to a bakery because you've been dying to try it but they close early. Again. 2nd time. This time, closed up 15 min early, doors locked, employee still inside, neon open sign still glowing in my face. I get it universe, not meant to be. Taking my ass to McDonalds where they apparently sell desserts now. :/ read more

When we first moved to Seattle from Los Angeles, CA my parents would drive from West Seattle to Beacon Hill just to get our fresh baked pandesal and other bake goods at Delite Bakery because they were the only Filipino Bakery in Seattle. Now that there are more Filipino stores, bakeries and restaurants, we still come here for our Filipino baked good. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ They are the home of my favorite donuts! Their donuts are airy, fluffy and soft. They are freshly made every morning and easily sell out. ⁣⁣⁣ Follow my foodie adventures on Instagram: @spoonfulofeva read more

Top 2 donuts and it's a close second to King donut in the southend. I do appreciate all their other desserts and cakes though! The donuts are HUGE and Perfect for making any sort of donut cake.

A new bakery each week. At least that is what I am trying to do as of late. This week, the focus is turned on to Delite Bakery. Delite is a bit out of my way on Beacon Hill, so I decided to take the fashionable Light Rail to get here. Delite is conveniently one block west from the underground Beacon Hill station. The store itself looks a bit like cornershop bakery. When I entered, I saw a lot of baked goodies to choose from. Only thing was that there was no labels on anything. I guess you could figure out that is a donut, this is a croissant. However, this gets tricky when it comes to the more ethnic baked items. I feel like having to ask what each and every item was. Service here is no-frills, so I kind of wanted to avoid that. In the end, I picked up a bag of pan de sal, a croissant and a bear claw. My total came out a little over $5 which I thought was amazing. This is considering that the croissant and bear claws at some bakeries can be almost $3 each. Delite is definitely a value bakery to me. And their pastries are huge. The croissant and bear claw look like double size versions of the same items that I have seen elsewhere. Granted, this is not a Le Panier or Macrina type bakery so quality might not be as great. But the pastries taste good and I think that is the bottom line. The pan de sal was just okay for me however. I think it is best microwaved for a couple seconds before serving. I wish that there was some from fresh out of the oven pan de sal rather than buying a prepackaged version of them. Overall, I would recommend Delite for the incredible value and selection that they have to offer. While it is bit out of the way, it is just a short Light Rail ride away from downtown Seattle. read more

I can't even begin to explain my happiness! I haven't gone to a Filipino bakery in over a few years. When I found this location in Seattle I knew we had to make a pit stop. Upon driving by we were hesitant that it was closed but we noticed the windows were just tinted. They do have a small parking lot in the side which is very helpful since they are in a busy corner during rush hour traffic. So to take home we order a bag of ube bread, senorita bread, and a few different assortments. Once we got to the car we tried the ube and señorita bread. Upon trying it we went back inside and ordered another set of baked good for our family. Overall great bakery, customer service, and location. Excellent Filipino baked goods!! read more

I ordered a custom cake for a friend's birthday. I called in and ordered the half sheet cake w balloon decoration and got to pick 3 colors. The cake was ready the next morning and I couldn't help myself from grabbing a couple pastries on the way out. My friend loved her cake! They're light, the perfect amount of sweetness and great sizes to share w lots of people. I really love their maple bars too! Lots of shops are so expensive when ordering custom cakes, the whole process was very easy and I was very happy w my experience. I even came back to get my dad an Ube log cake for his birthday. read more

I've been going to Despi Delite Bakery for ages, a great Filipino-centric bakery in Seattle. Yes and better than Goldilocks!

Rolls. Regional treats. Cakes. Cookies. Desserts. My go to favorites - pan de ube, pork or chicken siopao, pork or mung bean hopia, ensymada, mamon, turon, and polvoron. A long time Beacon Hill neighborhood gem! read more

My husband just bought this ube cake today for just $37. We always loved this bakery but I was so surprised because last year we bought the same size of cake in their store and one of their workers charged me $50 for it. I was so surprised cause we've been always buying cake here (it was like around $30-35 before) & how calm the cake price got so high. She told us that it went up for a very long time. Men we got fooled by her. After that I did not buy cake from them for a while because of the surge in the price. I wish I can remember her name and face so I can report her to the owner cause she will take advantage to a lot of customers there . I hope she's not working there anymore. It was so sad cause she is also a fellow filipino and I never thought that she will do such thing cause we basically just trust what ever she says. And also one thing whenever I order by phone ahead of time because I want custard filling they always put macapuno filling even I ordered in advance. That already happened to me twice or thrice. read more

Great cake for a reasonable price. After poking around Yelp for somewhere to order a cake for my grandma's birthday, I settled for Delite based on all the positive reviews. For $62 I ordered a half sheet vanilla cake with a layer of strawberries in the middle. I bought the cake for a party of 20 and after everyone was served, there was still half a cake left. So, if you have around 20 people, I would recommend sticking with a quarter sheet. The cake was delicious and very reasonably priced. I'm mainly giving four stars instead of five because the amount of strawberries in the middle was very minimal. read more

Pros: Private parking lot. Prices. Both of my items were $3 each + tax. Cons: Quality could be better but my experience is limited. I tried their ube bread in a bag and a slice of their ube cake. I recommend the ube bread in a bag. The filling is nice and dense and I just love the bright purple color. There's definitely lots of purple food coloring in their ube. The ube cake left much to be desired. It didn't taste like anything. It had a lighter frosting on top and some kind of white filling but indistinct. My friend thought the cake tasted bitter, could be from the food coloring. Other observations: The donuts and cupcakes really are as big as people say. The donuts are twice the size of what you would normally get from a regular bakery. That being said though, I don't think everything looked good. I would buy doughnuts from here but probably not cake again. I also wouldn't get croissants from here because I don't think they would have the right texture. I am wary of places that try and do too much. read more

There isn't an item in this bakery that isn't delicious! Need a breakfast treat? Doughnuts are in every shape and flavor you can imagine! Savory craving? Get a sausage baked in some pastry! Big event? Order an ube cake! I've purchased an ube cake for my birthday, a retirement Party and baby shower and it's always devoured. Even folx who haven't had ube fall in love with its light & fluffy texture and flavor! Friendly and fast service too. They aren't open on Sundays so place your order ASAP! read more

Gotta love a Filipino owned bakery! Sooooo many good treats here!! My parents love the Taho! And the donuts here are cheap and good!!
