    Cake selection

    Hiroki is a cute little Japanese cake and pastry cafe in the Wallingford neighborhood. It's a quaint spot with only a few seats, but isn't usually too busy. It would be a good spot to study in or a cute date spot. We ordered the strawberry shortcake and matcha tiramisu. The strawberry shortcake was delicious. Perfectly light but not too sweet, with thick layers of fresh cream. The matcha tiramisu was just okay; it wasn't as creamy as I would've liked it and the matcha flavored tasted a bit off -- maybe not an optimal pairing with mascarpone cheese? We also ordered a chai latte, which came in a giant cup with very cute latte art. They also serve other pastries like scones, puddings, and cream puffs. I'll have to some of the other desserts and cake flavors another day. There is one single stall restroom that is very clean. There is a small parking lot outside with free parking.

    The hubby was craving some Coffeeholic so I was tasked with finding dessert. I happened to stumbled upon Hiroki and I knew we had to check it out! Review Time: AMBIANCE/LOCATION: For parking, there's a small parking lot right next to the store. I would say there's like 6 or so parking spots available. The shop is small and quaint with a few tables to eat in the back. STAFF/SERVICE: The owner (I'm assuming) was working the register. She was nice and super helpful answering all my questions. FOOD: Green Tea Tiramisu - the owner said this was her most popular item and I can see why! I feel it could use smidget more matcha, but it was still light and tasty! Gateau Basque - you had me sold at butter cake! Out of the 3 cakes, my least favorite. But it was still delicious nonetheless. The other ones were just more flavorful. Sakura Cheesecake - Sooooo good! The raspberry puree + salted cherry blossom = chef's kiss. I loved this cake, but forewarning it IS a seasonal item! Honey Cheese Mango Pudding - I was really hoping to get the cheesecake form; however it was already sold out. The pudding was good, but definitely think I would have liked the cheesecake more. Orange Chocolate Chip Cookie - I can appreciate the subtle hint of orange throughout the cookie. Overall a good cookie, but nothing like "oh my gosh best cookie ever." RECOMMEND? Yes! I would definitely come back especially since they have seasonal items! The cakes were light and tasty and addicting. I couldn't put my fork down until i ate 3/4 of each cake haha

    Cutest little japanese dessert shop. The matcha tiramisu had a spongecake layer instead of lady fingers and I really liked it. A very strong matcha flavor and super light and whipped cream. Super cozy inside with lots of seats.

    Hiroki is located within a quaint little shack. There is parking close to the main entrance. The slices were tasty, just a bit underwhelming. I believe we ordered the mango, hojicha, and green tea cheese cake with two espresso shots. All tasty, just not as mind blowing as I would have expected. The espresso shots were a bit too bitter, I'd recommend them to make the grinds a bit courser for a more palatable taste.

    Cute small little bakery/coffee shop with interesting pastry flavors! When I arrived at opening on a Sunday morning, the line was already almost out the door. Service is a little slow but friendly Came here for specifically for the green tea tiramisu and it did not disappoint, very creamy. The basque chocolate was also very creamy, thick, and chocolatey

    Franzipane - almond cake w/ black plum
    Fionna L.

    I really wanted to love them, but these were the most expensive and mediocre cakes I've ever had. At $8 a slice, I was hoping for something mind-blowing. Instead, I got something meh overall. - Franzipane - almond cake w/ black plum: 1.5/5: dry dense crumb, sweet plum but no depth, and an interesting caramelized top: I'd pass on this one. - Honey cheese mango: 2/5: if only it tasted as good as it looked! It was like a custard with a fair amount of gelatin, with an even and creamy texture and very subtle flavors. - Green tea tiramisu: 3.5/5: the best of the bunch. I personally still prefer more sponge to my cake but the elements were executed very well: fluffy light moist cake topped by a mousse with a very light green tea flavor. Not too sweet. These cakes were aesthetic and high quality, they just weren't to my taste. I think a lover of mousse cakes would be in heaven. They have a fine parking lot out front with cafe-like tables and chairs in their small interior.

    Matcha tiramisu, hojicha cheesecake
    Green A.

    I picked up matcha tiramisu and hojicha cheesecake for my husband's birthday and was pleasantly surprised! We especially liked the hojicha cheesecake - despite being a cheesecake, it was quite light and had a strong hojicha flavor! The perfect amount of creaminess and sweetness! The matcha tiramisu could have had a stronger matcha flavor, but was also light and delightful. The service was quite friendly as well! It's a small cafe that is hard to miss but definitely worth a visit!

    This was one of my stop for some cakes sampling and it definitely has one of my favorite cakes. The place was small but quaint and clean. The people there are super nice and knowledgeable The guy asked me if it was my first time here and then gave me a bunch of suggestions and then even gave me a free honey mang pudding cup to try for my birthday :) I got the 2 popular cakes there: - matcha tiramisu - mousse cake like texture, soft, flavors are distinct, not too sweet - gateau -- OMG, this was really good. It was nostalgic and tasted amazing. - honey mango pudding - kinda too soft but very mango-y The price is a little high for the size but I guess the quality does compensate for it. Overall, really good bakery

    Mango cheesecake

    I ordered a whole cake for my husband's birthday. We are a bit picky with cakes (we don't like icing) so I ordered this mango cheesecake. It was perfect. Good mango flavor and very light cheesecake underneath. It was delicious. The message cookie was a separate charge.

    Best cheesecake I've ever had hands down. Everything was almost sold out when I got there. I wanted 2 Mango but they only had one left by the time I was next to order. Did I mention the line was around the corner. Sheesh. I originally waited a good 10 minutes before trying to wait in line but more people kept showing up. Fast forward, it was love at first bite. I can't wait to go back for more. And I want to bring people. They have to try this. Game changer.

    Matcha tiramisu, hojicha cheesecake
    Anna C.

    3.5 stars. Dropped by 3PM on a Friday and picked up matcha tiramisu and hojicha cheesecake, priced at $8 a slice. The interior was clean and staff was considerate--for the person ahead of me, he offered to keep their to-go slice in the fridge while they enjoyed their drink. The slices were beautiful to look at but I think the price point is a bit high. The matcha tiramisu was fluffy in texture and moist but the matcha flavor was light. For the hojicha cheesecake, the hojicha flavor was strong but the flavor combination with the cream cheese wasn't one I personally enjoyed. It was also quite a thick texture, even for cheesecake. Both slices were a nice level of sweetness.

    Kim T.

    Wow! Hiroki's cakes are so aesthetic. There are not many businesses specializing in Asian cake. I like how they sell singular slices so you can try many different flavors. I got the tiramisu and matcha cakes. Both had the perfect cake and cream ratio and sweetness was balanced. Matcha was nice and earthy and the tiramisu was rich with balanced espresso cocoa notes. It's nice the business has a parking lot so you don't have to worry about street parking. Service was standard and quick. Just one star off for the price of cakes as it can add up quickly. Overall must visit if you're looking for Japanese- inspired cakes!

The croissant was on the crispier side, especially with the almond crumble on top it was a bit too cripsy for me, but I tend to like soft and flakey pastries so it's probably a matter of taste. There was a TON of almond filling in the middle. I enjoyed the taste and texture but it was too much filling for me personally. I would have liked more croissant in my croissant, so to say haha. The chocolate was slightly dark which worked well with the sweet pastry and filling! Overall I enjoyed the croissant but it was a tad too heavy on the filling and cripsy/crunchy for me.

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. It was incredibly delicious, perfectly filling, and even better when warmed up. The staff member kindly offered to heat it for me, which really elevated the whole experience. 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.

    I've been hesitant to visit Sea Wolf Bakers due to their prices. $8 baguette? Oomph. Well, in early…read moreMarch I finally decided to give them a try. And now I'm a regular... Through several visits: Baguette, Large ($7.95) - Great baguette with bubbling golden exterior complete with the perfectly baked crust even after waiting 3 hours before cutting in and eating. The interior has the perfect moisture level and is delightfully soft and chewy. The taste overall has a deep developed flavor. This is a great baguette. The only problem - the price. I can find ones for half the price that are maybe 80% as good as this one. (5/5) Seasonal Biscuit ($4.50) - This biscuit definitely isn't Southern-style. It's more of a drop biscuit, combining a relatively soft and tender interior with a nice exterior crust, without any flakiness or layering. The interior is almost cake-like in texture and crumb, and is plenty moist. They add plenty of fresh black pepper inside. It's distributed very evenly, giving a peppery bite with every mouthful. Parmesan is added to the top of the biscuit before baking, giving plenty of umami and richness but only on the upper layer. (4/5) Green Vinaigrette Cafeteria Style Pizza ($6.25) - The pizza is kept under a warming lamp, so it starts getting a little dried out after I assume a couple of hours spent there. I do love the base though - it's focaccia-like giving a really crunchy dark golden brown crust underneath, which supports the toppings. The pizza slice has lots of structural integrity and doesn't flop over. There's a base of fragrant concentrated tomato paste-like flavor which is topped with a very even layer of cheese. Since it's warmed rather than freshly baked, the cheese starts congealing a bit. The cheese is peppered with parsley, garlic, and a bunch of mustard seeds, giving a special zing. The toppings go all the way to the sides of the pie, making it great for people who dislike crust. Even though it's cafeteria style pizza that's kept under heat lamps, I quite liked it. I wonder if I can get a really fresh slice if I get there right at 11AM when lunch starts. (5/5) Chocolate Croissant ($6.10) - Great lamination with a very aesthetic honeycomb pattern. Baked on the harder side, causing fantastic crispy flaky layers to flake off, but also creating a darker golden brown character that is on the verge of bitterness. Nicely buttery soft and chewy interior. Chocolate is a darker variety, probably somewhere around 70%, so it has a pleasing balanced sweetness and chocolate flavor. It's not typical baton, instead seems to be a section from a bar. Still warm and melty even through I didn't eat the croissant until ~30 minutes after purchasing. When cooled down further, some red fruity notes start appearing, so this seems to be be pretty high quality. (5/5) White Sourdough ($12.60) - Now this is a loaf of bread. Superb crust, probably 2 or 3 times as thick compared to competitors, creating a supreme crusty bite with a chew approaching a hard crunch with almost caramelized molasses notes on the bottom. The interior is moist and tender with a pleasing slight sourdough tang. It's a superb piece of craftsmanship. (5/5) Kouign Amann ($5.80) - This is another heavier bake with some acridity development on the top surface. Unlike many other bakeries where the kouign amann is basically a differently shaped croissant with sugar glaze, Sea Wolf's version feels more in line with tradition. The crumb is denser and richer, more like brioche. There's interesting black speckling inside which I believe is due to the inclusion of espresso powder given the mild coffee-like flavor. The crust is again baked hard, but it's lighter and not as flaky as the croissant. They sprinkle just a bit of salt on top of a very light caramelized sugar glaze. It's not very sweet and I didn't find it too salty unlike some other reviewers. (5/5) Plain Focaccia Slice ($4.80) - Good quality olive oil, some salt sprinkled on top to boost the flavors. Light and airy interior, but the exterior is a little wan, being more light golden brown and lacking some good crusty crisp especially on the fried bottom. Quite oily. (4/5) Sea Wolf gives out free sourdough starter, which can be requested from the cashier. Since picking it up several weeks ago, I've gone through several feed/bake cycles for making sourdough focaccia. I've visited Sea Wolf 3 or 4 times in the last month. That's a testament to how high quality their pastries and breads are. I think the only thing stopping me from visiting more is thanks to the starter I got from them fanning my baking instincts. I bake so much now that I don't have any need to buy their bread! Note: Sea Wolf charges a 3% credit card fee. This is not noted on their menu - it only appears in the POS right before paying. Kind of sketchy. Bathrooms - Single unisex room

    I've been to Sea Wolf several times and have had a very inconsistent experience with the pastries;…read moreeven with the same item, I've had a fantastic version and one that left a lot to be desired. I will note that I haven't tried the breads, but as a non-morning individual, I do appreciate that they do tend to still have many items available even later in the afternoon (~1-3PM time frame). You will have to find street parking, but I've never had too much trouble in this neighborhood even on the weekend. Butter Croissant (3.75/5): I'll admit I'm insanely picky with my croissants and I think Sea Wolf's is just okay. I want a stronger crisp on the outside, something that almost shatters and makes a mess when you bite in, but the inside has a nice chew. Kouign Amann (3.75/5): I had a really fantastic time with this my first time picking it up, they have almost a crunchy sugar caramel crust on the outside with super buttery pastry inside. Unfortunately, my second time picking this up ended up being a miss, just stale and much to dry. Cinnamon Roll (1/5): The raisins are a nice touch, but this was awfully dry. Even the caramelized crus on the outside couldn't save this and charging extra for cream cheese frosting on top of a dry dough is criminal.
