They have good chicken & pork siopao also delicious Ube cake which is not too sweet light and airy! My parents has been ordering my birthday cakes here since I was kid and now I'm ordering them for my kids! Very consistent on a lot of the foods they offer & super welcoming! read more

I was very frustrated with their customer service. I was in the market looking for a wedding cake. Initially, I emailed Britt in the beginning of April asking if she can make a cake for my wedding. I included a detailed description and picture on what type of cake and style. Until this day I still have not received an email back. I tried calling them several times and apparently I can only talk to Britt about wedding cakes. The ladies there would not even bother putting my name and phone number down. Every time I called, Britt either left early or too busy making a cake to talk to me... I asked them to tell her to read her email - no response. I don't think they need my service. I went with a different cake decorator and will never come back here. read more

Got their mini ube bread rolls from another market... wow- so delicious! I ate the whole bag! Whoops. Great local Filipino bakery!

I went to Despi Delite Bakery and couldn't resist how pretty their ube pandesal looked. For the uninitiated (basically me before the pandemic when eating became my only hobby), pandesal is supposed to be a light, airy, and slightly sweet bread roll. This purple beauty has a tiny smidgen of ube inside too. Even though they look gorgeous, they didn't taste great. The bread was a little dry, and the ube filling was tiny and almost rubbery. I'm sad the book didn't match its cover, so I will continue my quest for better pandesal in the Seattle area. read more

I have been to this place lots of times to buy cakes. I had a special day coming up. I ordered a special cake from them they always say they are so busy. Call back less than an hour to change the day. They said the cake was already done. Which I know was a lie. They have no loyalty to long time customers. Money more important that the customer. They could have redone the cake for my special day. Want every use them again. read more

Best bakery I have ever been in. Super selection, super tasty, super friendly. This is the place where I order cakes for special occasions. They never disappoint. I wish they had some sugar free options but I can't complain. Sure to please! read more

Nice staff. Yummy food. Beacon Hill has such a gem. Just wish it was closer to my house lol

Hidden behind the Apple Tree supermarket in Beacon Hill, Despi Delite Bakery is a place that caters to the general public with the usual donut offering as well as Filipino desserts such as the unavoidable Taro cake with coconut filling (ube macapuno cake), taho'o drink (sweet tofu with boba) and the savory empanadas The quality is alright for such a place. To be fair, i have not tried their donuts but their Filipino desserts are alright. I do find this place a bit pricey for the quality of the products. The staff is very helpful. I think this is a traditional family business. My wish is for them to tweak the formula of the recipe to improve the quality so it matches the prices. read more

*rate 3.5* I grew up with Delite - I feel like Filipino bakeries/pastries aren't as common. We used to come here more often a few years ago before Valerio's came (located inside Seafood City + it's much closer to where I live) but they also sell Delite pan de sal and pastries at Seafood City! fan of: ube bread, butter/sugar bread, and their empanadas (appreciate that it's baked), I don't usually like Red Velvet BUT! If its a red velvet cupcake from Delite.. I'll take it! - ube cheesecake can use more UBE...all I taste is regular cheesecake They have a wide variety of yummy Filipino pastries + a variety of treats (donuts, cupcakes, etc.), my family have ordered Ube and Mocha Cake for big family parties many times. Offers catering services - Located on a corner, small private lot read more

Despi Delite Bakery - UBE cheesecake - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Mostly a supermarket variety of baked goods, but with a few Filipino items as well. The "old-fashioned buttermilk doughnut" I purchased was not dense enough (over-yeasted). And in the yum department, its flavor was not compelling. The little stuffed Filipino pastries were somewhat dried out, but taste-wise, pretty good. The Delite Bakery owners apparantly also own that fine five-star restaurant Inay's. The same firebrand waiter, Louie, that works at Inay's was working the DeLite counter this morning. read more

I just got married on Saturday 8/9/08 & I ordered the wedding cake with the ube (purple yam/ pronounced: oo-bay) & pandan (green colored) on advice by Christian that handles the deliveries . He arranged a special wedding cake tasting for us free-of-charge. I've bought many birthday cakes but this was my first wedding cake which was hopefully for my first and last wedding. Every time I've bought a cake here for somebody's birthday I would receive many compliments & questions about where to buy the purple cake (ube)? The wedding guests loved the wedding cake. Frosting is not to sweet, but just right. The price is unbeatable too with good customer service. I uploaded pictures of my custom wedding cake with the supplied by us Mashimaro cake topper from Korea. We had them do a custom ube (purple yam) and pandan (green tea) cake. I love the siopao (humbow)! It's my favorite place for cakes & pilipino baked goods. Mabuhay Delite Bakery! read more

I love their ube cakes. It's always a hit when I bring it for a gathering. I don't really get much else from there. My only complaint would be ordering a cake from them. It's really hit and miss what your experience is like when you order a cake. I would love it if we could email in our cake requests so there is no question on how to spell certain word/names but I was told that they don't do email orders. I understand language barriers can affect the outcome of wording so it would be very helpful if we could email. I've had difficulties with them getting orders right even after I repeated the spelling of names/words to them. Service is definitely mediocre at best. read more

Despi Delite Bakery - I asked for it to say "Wild Bill" and said/spelled it a few times onthe phone. I don't know what u think but "i" doesn't sound like "e" - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

FILIPINO BAKERY STANDING STRONG! When I was young my parents would drive a distance and we'd "pasial" north to get some pastries from here. I still go here for my goodies. Although their competition right now is Valerio's my close friend who isn't african-america (born in PI) loves Delite Bakery more then Valerio's. Pan de coco! i heart you. read more

Hey didnt know Seattle has so many asian bakeries. First time to Seattle, and a friend of mine took me to this place before my trip back to Cali. Their Sansrival was pretty good and I sure did like their Ube cake. My friend Sunny kept raving about the Ube cake, and yes it was oh so delicious. I wish there were more macapuno in it (coz i love coconute ^_^). Well the next time I'm visiting Seattle, I'll for sure to stop by here again. read more

it serves bread made at the store but it seems to me that this place looks like it has seen its better days and it loose its hope . insides looks old and boring lighting seems to make you feel your not welcome very ghostly choices of breads limited i can count it its not colorful and prized like the mall igrew up in the philippines bread makers good or not they make there bread look fancy and colorful that way taste is not just eyes but fragrance and experience and it will make you feel the local experience it give smile to your face delite can be improved it can gives smiles back to its costomers once's again it will be people favorite tourist destination by neighboring states and country think of all the money this place could make if only they utilize partner ship-with other bread makers good management lacks at this place even the cakes they have on display dont look savory it seem not well worth anyone's precious experience it would be awesome if they could make piaya and other regional of the philippines breads and embrace the whole map of the philippines as its well its started simple beginnings pride and culturally extremely worth anyone's experience.

Lovvvee their ube cake roll. So yummy and always made fresh. Their empanadas are so good and portion size is decent. I ordered my daughter's birthday cake from them, it looks cute and yummy! I recommend this bakery read more

The vanilla pineapple cake was so delightful. The whipped frosting was the perfect complement. The ube bread was delicious too! Try to come earlier in the day when they have more goodies before they're sold out read more

This review has nothing to do with COVID. I ran into this place as I was scrolling through yelp for a nearby place for some Siopao. The pictures of the place made it look so welcoming and it felt like I was gaining weight just by looking at the pictures of the food. Excited to see a Filipino Bakery in Seattle, I immediately went. Here's my review... Upon my arrival, the pictures and reality didn't seem to match up. The place was quite dim and not as bright. I can understand due to the COVID, there may not be a lot of inventory as well. Yet In support of my fellow Filipinos, I went ahead and bought the last of the Siopaos, 10 Empanadas, 12 hopias, 2 Ube breads, and 4 types of desserts. Remember this is my first time here. Siopao - The dough when steamed baked, sank. The chicken was dry and had little taste. It was curried chicken, I was expecting chicken asado. Maybe it's my fault for not asking. Empanada - Same type of chicken as the Siopao except had the mixed veggies. A little more flavor, not much, but the diced potatoes were not even cooked. Hopia baboy - Tasted a few days old. Hard on the outside. The buttercreme ping or whatever it's called, sitting next to the Oreo Cheesecake have such an AWEFUL AFTERTASTE it DEFINITELY was NOT freshly made. Oreo cheesecake - Tasted real milky. As for the Ube products, I bought those for my kids. And will leave those for them to review. As you can see, my excitement went to pure disappointment. Maybe one day in the future I will visit this place again and give it another chance for a better review. read more

My family has been going to delite for at least the last 20 years and it amazes me how awesome the pandesal and pan de leche tastes! Always very fresh my parents even drive 25 miles from the south end to bring back delicious bread and yummy cakes to our relatives and family members! I've discovered how yummy their doughnuts are! Keep up the great work everyone at Despi Delite! read more

Their prices are definitely $$ because their Ube cake is expensive... but oh so worth it. Seriously best fruit cakes ever. Mmm, so craving some. Good service, small, but gets the job done. I love this place. Always go here if I need an Asian cake. Never had their pastries, but I have no doubt they're not good. read more

One of two bakeries on Beacon Hill (Mimi's being the other). -Friendly older Filipina ladies that are super nice to customers. -Pretty tasty ube (taro) rolls and ube sheet cake. -The pandan cake is pretty decent as well. -Apple fritter is really good, but the French Cruller was just average. Park at Red Apple and walk over if their lot is full. I think there's a credit card charge. read more

Despi has been a staple of the Beacon Hill neighborhood for years (decades?). Their donuts and pastries are so yummy, especially Filipino ones such as ube cakes and croissants. I love taking the kids there! read more

Forgot to take pictures but the cake was beautifully made and the taste hit the spot! Will order again for my kids bday :) I should also add that the price is just right. read more

I LOVE this bakery! When I lived in the area, I went to Despi Delight about 3 times a week for breakfast. If I only had one thing to eat for the rest on my life, it would be the spinach croissants from Despi Delight. The ube donuts are also a favorite. read more

Their parking lot has 4-6 cars of owner and employees , every day . It is a very small lot and very narrow . I had suggested to the owner to approach the Red Apple across the street . If they could park there and every week give them a bunch of pastries , etc to park there . The response was as if I had the nerve to mention this !? One day all spaces were taken and lucky I was able to back all the way out to the street . Without getting hit and park along the street . The two women that work at the Beacon Hill location . Don't seem genuinely friendly , but a fake " customer service " . No smiles just going through the motions . And make sure you go early to get your coffee . In the afternoon it would have been in the pot all day . No sense to pour out the old and brew a new pot . And not surprised their Beacon Hill location has only Asian or Hispanic workers . At least they have the decency to tell you the pandesal ? Filipino rolls were from the day before and tell you when they are fresh baked . read more

It's nice to have a bakery in the neighborhood. I love the ube cake here and I always get the Oreo cheesecake for my little cousin. She loves it. Everything else is so-so. I've tried the flan, but didn't like it too much. The egg tart is ok. It doesn't beat the places in Chinatown. The service here is either super good or super bad. When I came in two days ago, the teenage girl behind the counter did not look happy that customers walked in the door. Made the transaction a little awkward. read more

I've ordered cakes here countless times so I felt the need to leave a review. Service is always great here. I ordered a 1/2 sheet Ube are for my friend's mom's birthday last Monday for last Sat and I thought there would be an issue since it was a big cake with just a week notice but I was wrong. The workers here are really sweet and didn't have a problem when I would call to add things I wanted done to the cake. I should have gotten something smaller because I did not realize how big 1/2 sheet was haha. I think we had half the cake left. Oh well more for me! I love ube cake. It's definitely my favorite. I always order my parents birthday cake here and haven't had any issues so I'll continue to order cakes here. read more

INTERIORS: When you enter this bakery you won't think that they can make thise big beautiful cakes or that they have anything special in there. It is in an old corner but the cakes are delicious. SERVICE: They prepared a cake for me at a short notice of two days so I should appreciate that. I had to pay about 140 bucks for a heineken beer can cake and frm watching al the episodes of cake boss I know that it was a big price for a small and easy cake that wouldn't have taken more than 1 hr to prepare. But what disappointed me was the size. It was about 8 inches long by 4 inches in width and about 4 inches in height at the tallest point. This cake was meant to serve 20 people but if I wanted to serve each one a generous slice this cake won't suffice. TASTE: The flan was a little too sweet for my liking but I liked its heavier texture. I also tried the chocolate cookie which was really nice along with green tea cake slices filled with coconut custard filling. Yum. read more

Butter Rolls are really ensaymadas with butter and sugar atop a sweet bread! Reminds one of Hawai'i!

I have to have my husband return this pandesal on them today. It has a bug inside! Gross! My husband and I were gagging the whole time who knows if we have eaten one! Ugh! We sent the pandesal back to them and all they say was the owner was not there! Gross! read more

delicious, beautiful and affordable!! When wedding cake shopping in Seattle, everyone recommended the 'usual' suspects - Borrachinis etc. and they all were WAY out of my budget. I tried EVERYWHERE. . somehow through the grapevine i heard about a cute bakery on capitol hill and stopped by to check out their cake selection. I will admit, most of their display cakes were a little outdated, but when I showed them a photo of what I liked, they told me they could make it look however I wanted. I got a delicious chocolate/ white chocolate with raspberry filling cake for 250 guests for $200 including delivery and they even decorated my cake with fresh dahlias that I had set aside. I was so impressed. Lovely, delicious and so memorable. I highly recommend Delite Bakery! ( I posted photos of my cake in the 'photo section' above) read more

Everything is so good! Even their donuts are light and delicious. Ube cheesecake, too!

I've enjoyed everything from ube cake to doughnuts to empanadas from this place, and they never disappoint. They're knowledgeable and well priced with a great assortment of baked goods. Recently I found myself in a last minute scramble to find a dozen cupcakes for a birthday party that afternoon. After going to several overpriced, local bakeries I found myself debating if QFC cupcakes would be sufficient, or if I needed to spend the $50 per dozen at a cake shop. Then I remembered Delite! Even with a small crowd in the shop they had me in and out within 10 minutes, and under $25. I can't thank them enough, and although I forgot to get a picture of the Oreo cupcakes that were inhaled, I did manage to snap a few pics of the other treasures found in their case. read more

How many times they have had a " help wanted " sign at their Seattle location !? And at their Everett location a sign for counter clerk , pay being " DOE " ! You hire someone based on their PAST experience . In the thinking they can perform at 100 % from the beginning . They have been in business for over 20 YEARS , because of the contributions of past and present , employees . Share the success with them as they EARNED it . But , as usual small business owners think they are Kings and Queens . Sad that there is a " tip jar " on the counter to supplement employees , wages . read more

If you're in the neighborhood and your looking for doughnuts or baked goodies, this is your place! I stopped by looking for doughnuts to take to a business breakfast meeting. They had nothing but fresh and in some cases still warm offerings. I was able to pick and choose without feeling rushed or pressured. It was a great experience! read more

Ube bread, hopia, ube cakes! Legit and traditionally made Flip desserts. Prices are great too.

Growing up in Beacon Hill exposed me to many Asian cultures, and Delight bakery has been a foundational business for the Asian community for many years now. I have gone here year after year, & my experiences are always great. The ladies that run this place have always been friendly, and move quickly. If you know what you want they get it for you, if you don't know what you want they help you figure it out and they get it for you. You can get anything from delicious cakes, to fresh baked buns, to warm chicken sandwiches... even humbou (don't judge my misplacing). Around opening, it can get pretty busy, but the afternoon is usually chill, and closing time barely ever has a line. Honestly, every time I'm in the area now, I have to stop by, even if it's just for a simple pastry read more

The lady was very friendly & helpful in letting us choose the best pastries. I ordered taho, hopia baboy, hopia munggo, pan de ube, pichi pichi & empanada. Everything is fresh & delicious. I will be going back to buy siopao and hopia to take home back in LA. There is also ample parking & the area is very nice & easy to find. read more
