HAWAII VIBES! Heard about this place while on a recent trip to Seattle and absolutely had to stop by. I only tried the malasadas, but what else do you really need? The ube and lilikoi (passionfruit) were both perfection, and the plain was excellent, too. The closest to Leonard's you're going to get in the continental US... maybe even better, due to the ube alone... wish I was eating one of these right now. read more

Malasadas! - Array of pasty goodness - Delicious Walking into Fuji Bakery, it was hard to choose, but easy to love! Everything looked amazing, it was genuinely hard to decide what to get! I ended up going with three malasadas: ube, crunchy cream-filled, and matcha. Each one was soft, fresh, and just sweet enough. The ube had a nice, mellow flavor, the crunchy cream one had great texture and a rich filling, and the matcha was a little too earthy but not overpowering. Ube was the best! Even though I didn't know what to get at first, the staff was helpful and patient. I'll definitely be back to try more--there's a lot I didn't get to! read more

We stopped by on a Friday afternoon. The staff was friendly and answered all our questions. I tried the popular Ube Malasada and ate it right away--it was delicious. This place is more suited for takeout rather than dining in. Parking was paid street parking in Chinatown. read more

Fuji Bakery - Malasadas - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love pastries with Asian-inspired flavors and I've been recommended this bakery quite often, so I was very excited to try it! It's located pretty close to the ID link station so it is in quite a convenient location. There are also some loading parking spots right in front of the store, which makes it quite easy to do a quick pickup. I ordered the Kare-pan, Ube, and Lilikoi (passionfruit) malasada. The total came out to be around $13. Although the pastries were smaller than I expected, with how expensive everything is in Seattle nowadays I felt that the pricing was not egregious. Overall, I really enjoyed the flavors and the textures of the pastries. My favorite was the Kare-pan as it was crispy and very flavorful. There was a slight numbing flavor that supplemented the curry flavor really well, which was a surprise as I don't think I have tasted that combination before. I also really liked the fruitiness of the Lilikoi malasada. Both of the malasadas were fluffy and a delight to bite into. I would say the Ube was my least favorite; it wasn't bad by any means, but I felt like the Ube cream was a bit bland. While the quality of the pastries was pretty high, I was disappointed by the portion size as all three pastries were smaller than my palm. Regardless, I would definitely come back to try a new flavor (looking forward to the matcha malasada)! read more

Oh my freaking stars. We walked over a mile in the cold from Pikes and we almost ended up getting something at one of my other favorite places (Hood) since it's right around the corner but my brain said try something new. So. Glad. I. Did. Purchased 2 malasadas- one ube and one lilikoi in honor of our upcoming trip to Hawaii. I honestly don't know which one I liked better. Both were AMAZING. Light. Flavorful. Delicious. Densely filled with creamy custard goodness. The place is strictly takeout but it accepts cards. They had a few other flavors too. They also had a nice selection of croissants. Highly recommend. read more

Definitely my fav basket in terms of variety, quality, and presentation! Wish they were a bit more friendly and not so pricey... i can handle overpaying but that on top of semi rude staff makes the pastries less enjoyable. read more

One of the first, if not the first, bites I had on my Seattle trip this year. I ordered the ube masalada and beef curry bun. Both of which were just snacks to munch on as I walked the city. This cute little bakery was small and displayed what they had freshly baked along their windows. Nowhere to site or go inside, you get your order from the same window you place your order. Since everything was already baked my items came out pretty fast. Flavors were pretty good overall as were the textures. The beef curry still had that slight little crispy and the ube masalada had a nice pillowy outside with thick cream(?) on the inside. read more

Disappointing - I pre-ordered a cake online and entered a simple customized birthday message. This option was listed as complimentary. In the email confirmation, the Birthday message showed up as " available for were confirmed pre-orders". When I picked up the cake 3 hours later, I was told they couldn't include the birthday message. The staff member made no attempt to rectify the issue. Any grocery store would be able to do this on the spot, let alone a bakery that prices itself on cakes for special occasions. It's a shame when you tip extra and there is no follow through on commitments. read more

This place lives up to its reputation as an amazing bakery with delicious treats. We stopped in after having it on our list for a while and I am so glad we did. We got several different things to try and each one was delicious. Regrettably my visit was six months ago so I can't remember everything I got, but I know the cream puff and croissant were both to die for. The folks working there were all super nice and worked quickly to get you what you wanted. The store itself is small with limited seating, but we were getting our snacks to eat at home anyway so it didn't make a difference to us. I definitely want to return! read more

This used to be one of my all time favorite bakeries. Seriously, their ham and cheese croissant is unreal. However, since COVID they refuse to move their store back inside. So every time you come in the morning hours, you are met with homeless on the sidewalk sleeping and asking you for food/money while you're in line. The staff refuse to do anything about this. The park across the street has seen more crime than most parks, so you'd think they'd be vigilant about it, but no. - Prices keep going up - Portions are getting smaller, less filling is being added - New staff is sour, former staff use to be amazing and approachable Photo Attached: passed out homeless literally in front of food/window display. read more

When I come to Seattle, I like stopping by here. I love the kare pan and the crunchy cream malasada here! I've been a few times, and it hits every time. The Japanese kare pan (curry bread) is a deep-fried chewy bun that is filled with house made beef curry, coated in panko, then deep fried. I wish I could eat one that was freshly deep fried. The crunchy cream is their best seller. It is a malasada (yeasted brioche doughnut from Portugal). The doughnut is filled with house made vanilla custard cream and then topped with corn flakes. Gotta eat it fresh. The only issue is the price! They are a tad on the higher end so while I would like to go more often, it's a nice treat. read more

We saw a lot of videos raving about this Japanese bakery. We ordered the milk bread and cold brew. Perhaps we came after the morning rush and the options were slim. I didn't see any pastries that caught my eye and settled on the milk bread. Overall, it's okay. Nothing to write home about. read more

Fuji Bakery is an outstanding Japanese bakery that makes plenty of delicious pastries. The croissants are flaky, crisp and buttery. The curry pan is a bit too brown for my tastes but they taste good and I guess that is what counts. They are open and usually have a few people lined up around the corner, but they are quick and efficient. I would double check your order as last time they mixed up a raspberry croissant for a pear croissant. But most of the time they get the order right. It's always best to eat as soon as possible to enjoy the pastries at peak freshness. They don't have anywhere to sit, but you can go across the street and enjoy them. read more

The malasadas here were go good! I got the crunchy cream, ube, and lilikoi. I got some to share with family members and everyone loved them. I got an egg tart too which was yummy. Can't wait to try what other desserts and pastries they have too! read more

So after wonton noodles and a HK milk tea nearby, my friend was craving a pastry, so we stopped by Fuji Bakery for malasadas (a donut of Portuguese origin). We ordered through a window and only waited in a very short line on a Sunday afternoon. UBE MALASADA - 4.25 The donut had a nice crunchy sugar crust around the dough and a fluffy, cloudy interior. The custard was very creamy and not too sweet, but similar to what another review said, it didn't have a strong ube flavor (despite the nice lilac color). Overall, I thought it was pretty good, other than the lack of ube flavor. My friend really enjoyed her matcha malasada, so maybe that is the move for next time. read more

YUMMY!!! Finally got to try this bakery during my Seattle visit!! Located in Chinatown. Street parking only! You can see all the pastries through the side window and you order through a window too- you can't actually walk into the store. Tried the crunchy cream (malasada with corn flakes on the outside and vanilla cream) and also the beef curry bun (fried malasada with beef curry inside) heated up! Both were sooooo good. The crunchy cream had the perfect crunchy exterior (I also love anything corn flakes) and the cream inside was not too overwhelming or too sweet. Great vanilla flavor and everything was very balanced (I usually hate cream filled pastries but this was perf!). The beef curry bun was also crunchy on the inside, pillowy dough and delicious ground beef curry filling in the inside. Would definitely come back to try other sweets or just get these two again!!! read more

This place is located at the corner of King Street and 6th Avenue, super close to the International District gate. Upon arrival, there is no store entry. You will get to check out the pastries from the window then place the order and pay at the door. The service was really nice, quick and friendly. I ordered a beef curry ball and the cream cheese danish, as it was recommended by some yelpers. The beef curry ball was different, there was a hint of sugar glazed and seasalt on the outside, the texture taste kinda like a sesame ball. It was quite different than what you see at dim sum. The cream cheese danish was not overly sweet. It was buttery and tasty. They also had other varieties of drink available to go with the pastries. Totally recommend checking out this place if you're in the area. read more

Just an update to say that Fuji Bakery still does not disappoint! They actually had labels for their pastries at my most recent visit, which I was really glad for since I had to look things up on their website at my visit last year. Come early for their curry pan. We came in the early afternoon and they were already sold out. We were determined though- came back the next morning a little after opening to snag a few! read more

Everything was awesome, especially love the Ube Malasada! Not too sweet, just perfect. The macarons were delicious as well. Highly recommend! read more

If I could give Fuji bakery more stars I absolutely would! You HAVE TO get the Ube Malasada, 10/10. The ham and cheese croissant and egg sando were great as well. Service is fast since it is a window stand. Although there isn't any seating, the park across the street is a good place to sit and enjoy your meal. read more

If you don't want to wait 1-2 hours in line at The Flour Box, don't. The malasadas at Fuji are absolutely just as good, maybe even better. The texture and fluffiness of the malasadas is very reminiscent of brioche-based dough (same as The Flour Box), and the distribution of the filling and the flavors are superior. I came in the morning on a weekday, and there was a short line but it moved really quickly. The display in the window looked a bit bare, but they had extras of everything, so don't be discouraged if you come in the morning and it looks like they're out of stock. On my last trip, I got shokupan (comes with about 5 slices), and several malasadas (crunchy cream, matcha, and lilikoi/passion fruit). The reviews don't lie--the texture and flavor on the crunchy cream is definitely the standout among the donuts. Second favorite was the lilikoi, which wasn't overpowering but just subtly citrusy and very representative of Japanese desserts. I did enjoy the matcha as well, but I'd hoped the matcha would come through more strongly than it did. No complaints on the shokupan, just fluffy, chewy happiness :) One word of caution--not everything at Fuji is equally good. As some reviews have pointed out, there are definitely items they're not as known for. If I have to make a generalization, I would say their Japanese goods are much more consistent than their more French-inspired side. There are plenty of great bakeries in Seattle, so go somewhere else if you're looking for French pastries (my go-to is Bakery Nouveau). read more

I am a lover of pastries, breads, sweets, etc. and they have quite the selection of deliciously baked goods. When I'm in the area I like to stop by. I always hope they have some when it's later in the day because they sell out quickly. Asian pastries are so nostalgic. It's a small shop, parking is off the road. Can't miss the pink building. Great stop if you're wanting something sweet or savory! read more

I've been wanting to try the egg tarts from here. They tend to run out fast, so it's recommended to come early. I ordered two and thought they were okay. They were nice and crisp but I wish it was more custard like inside. I'd probably come back to try other baked goods if I'm in the area. read more

Fuji Bakery - Egg tarts - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This was probably one of my favorite bakeries after paying a visit to Seattle. I was recommended to come here from my friend and I really liked most of the pastries here! One of my favorites was the adzuki malasada. There was a good amount of red bean filling in here and I actually really liked it as a whole. I never rave about red bean that much but I really liked that sweet earthiness it had. The lilikoi malasada had a nice subtle custard taste to it, and the fruitiness really reminded me of a really good passionfruit. That tanginess really cuts through and is balanced out with the sweetness of the pastry. And my last favorite one was the Beef and Curry Ball. Man, if I knew it was going to be that good, I would have ordered more of them! Just pop it in the microwave or re-toast it and it tastes perfect. The outer shell was really crispy and the inside of the ball was fragrant. I also love egg sandos so I had to get one of that. The filling was quite creamy and I enjoyed it a lot. If I'm back here I definitely love to come back again. They had so many pastries to choose from their selection as well. read more

I came for the ube malasada only and it was delicious! The size of an average filled donut and a bit pricey at $4.25, but the cream was very smooth and you can definitely taste the ube flavor. It's also covered in sugar but it's not too sweet and I barely even noticed the addition of the sugar. The dough itself was also light and fluffy so it wasn't a heavy dessert at all. Great bakery close to the Chinatown gate. There weren't anyone around on a Friday afternoon when I came so I didn't have to wait and there was still a good selection of pastries left. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place l. I come here all the time and I love their crunchy cream malasada. they have a bigger location down in Elliot and this one is just a walk up window and they display the items at the window for you to see. As mentioned, I have tried many things before and they are pretty good. Their milk bread is definitely a hit in the family. I don't like their ube malasada as much as the crunchy cream one but it's still pretty good. This time, we got a few things: Beef curry bun - this is good but I think it should be bigger for the price, it's definitely a 2 biter. At first you might think the filling is too small but it's packed with flavors so the bread balance it out Apple pie croissant - very reminiscent of an apple pie. Borderline mushy as the pie filling moistennthe croissant Dough but it's not bad Pear croissant/danish - pretty standard I think Everything bagel butter roll - I really enjoyed the inside of this one. It's soft and chewy and light. The crust is filled with the everything bagel seasoning so it's a little salty but not too bad. Some of the price of these pastries are higher than others but it's still pretty reasonable. Overall, a go to place for something to satisfy your pastries craving in the ID read more

Went 30 minutes before they closed so they only had a limited selection of baked goodies left. I ordered the canele and their last ube malasada for the day so this review will only be about two of their items. Wasn't too happy with the canele -- the custard inside was deliciously eggy and creamy but the outside was burnt and crispy. It was kinda hollow inside too, like the outside was just a shell. However, the ube malasada made up for it! Even though it was cold, the dough remained fluffy. The ube filling was not too sweet at all and together with the dough made for a really awesome treat after work. Hoping to try their other baked goodies when they're fresh out of the oven and when there's more to choose from. read more

Bad experience. Require owner attention. We showed up at 3:40pm on a Sunday, and wanted a latte, the server told us they can't serve coffee now because they are getting the coffee machine cleaned as they are ready to close in 15mins. Like what? Shouldn't that be cleaned after they close? read more

This is a storefront bakeshop that is quite similar to Susu, except that it is much less crowded and things do not run out as fast. Most people go here for the ube malasada, which I went here for as well, but they also have a bunch of other goods such as the Japanese milk bread and curry pan, which I was a bit too full for. Ube malasada was $3.95 which is around the price I was expecting, a good option to go here if you do not want to wait in Flour Box. The ube cream is quite subtle in flavor, which is what ube usually should be, as a lot of places with ube have way too strong flavor which helps first timers identify what it tastes like, but this one is good on making it more subtle. A small complaint is that they did not put enough cream inside, as it was probably only half filled compared to these types of donuts I have tried so far. I do see there are cruffins that people posted on Yelp - I will definitely come and try those out when they have them in rotation! read more

Pretty decent donuts here! We got one of each flavor: the lillikoi (passionfruit), ube, and crispy crunchy (with vanilla custard) and a cream cheese danish. My favorite was the crispy crunchy, but I wish there was more vanilla custard. It was definitely a little skimpy. The ube custard was my next favorite, with a strong ube flavor in the cream. The danish was okay- but the block of cream cheese was super overpowering (great for the insta though) and most custard on the dough probably could have balanced that out. Service was quick and easy read more

The Fuji Bakery has long been a favorite for its great selection of baked goods. It reminds me fondly of time I spent in Japan.

visited seattle again so i had to come back to fuji bakery for the malasada! this time, i just got the ube malasada ($4.25). i always appreciate how they are not rich, but still chewy and sweet. the ube is creamy and a good amount of filling - i still feel like the ube flavor is too subtle though. the crunchy cream one sounds delicious! and the cashier was really friendly. i ate my ube malasada and wanted to eat another one - i was craving savory but unfortunately they were not selling the beef curry malasada (friday ~noon). i'll have to return next time i'm in seattle! read more

Solid bakery with lots of different pastries. For malasadas, I got the crunchy cream, ube, lilikoi (passion fruit), and custard. All flavors were on point - stuffed generously with filling and all had the flavors in it. The canele had a crunchy exterior and soft interior. Croissant was light and flakey with lots of layers. Overall a solid 4.5/5 and I'll definitely be back. It's great they offer such a variety of pastries and different flavored malasadas. read more

An amazing bakery with trendy pastries at a reasonable price! Like everyone else, I came here for the ube and crunchy cream malasadas. The doughnut itself was very fluffy and chewy with a light sweetness from the sugar coating. The lightness of the dough went really well with the more dense pastry cream. The pastry creams were smooth, lightly flavored, and also not too sweet which I enjoyed. I also really liked the added crunch from the crunchy cream coating, which contrasted with the soft doughnut and pastry cream. I also got the milk bar which was simple but well executed. The bread had a nice crust which was chewy but the interior was soft and fluffy. The shape and texture kinda reminded me of a baguette but with a less crunchy, hard crust. The milk buttercream was the star of the show. It wasn't like a typical icing buttercream and more of a sweetened salted butter. It had the nice mouthfeel and dairy flavor of a good salted butter, but there was also a good amount of sweetness that rounded everything out. Most of the pastries cost $4-5 which I thought was very reasonable. I've been to a lot of French patissiers that charge more for worse so I was pretty happy with this place. read more

The Crunchy Cream Malasada is really delicious, I love the crunch, but it's not as good as the Ube Malasada. The Ube is soooo creamy and the dough has a nice chew. The Matcha Malasada is almost on par with the Ube, it has a really rich matcha flavor and also really creamy. The jalapeño cheddar twist has a really nice kick to it and it's a good savory option. The service was great and the line went by really quickly too! It's on the corner right below the American Hotel. read more
