I was so excited to try Hot Cakes on my trip to Seattle, and it didn't disappoint. We split the…read mores'mores cake between 2 of us and it was a perfect amount. The lava cake was cooked perfectly and all the flavors went together well. We got it with normal chocolate instead of the smoky, which I would recommend. The cashier gave us a sample of the smoky chocolate so that we could decide, which was appreciated. There were plenty of places to sit inside. It seemed like a nice atmosphere to hang out and get drinks and dessert. I bet if there was a Hot Cakes near me I'd go all the time.

You can choose to sit on the main floor, outside, or upstairs. Got a flight of red wine, a flight of whites, and a flight of chocolate (which comes with a glass of wine specifically as a pairing. This was my favorite wine). AND a free snack bowl was provided! The workers did an excellent job. They brought out the wines one at a time- describing each one in detail, even pointing out which were their favorites. The service was very personable, which is something I don't always get at other places that do wine tastings. The chocolates were melt in your mouth, with unique flavors, making it extra fun. I must note- getting the flights that we did was pricey, but I know, most wine tastings and fancy chocolates are going to be expensive. I also wish there was a little more chocolate in the flight. It was difficult to cut up and share. However, this was a wonderful experience that I'm happy to have tried once, and they deserve the 5 stars!

When we were seated we were given menus and the staff walked us through each flight offered. They even provide complimentary gluten free snack mix! We ordered two first class flights and a chocolate flight. The first class is a red flight, but starts with champagne (yes real champagne). I've never had champagne to start a flight and I absolutely loved it. The flight was well placed with each wine growing bolder. The staff were extremely knowledgeable and took time to explain each wine to every table. The chocolate flight was the best chocolate I have ever had, the chocolatier was even serving our wine and brought out the chocolates as well. He explained every piece and where each ingredient was from. The chocolate flight came with a port that paired well with every chocolate. This wine tasting room is thoughtfully curated and you can tell with every glass and piece of chocolate.

Inside the store, the vibes are fancy chocolate shop, like something you would see in France. The staff is very approachable though. In addition to just milk and dark chocolate, they make many other chocolate flavorings. Their goodies are sold by the piece or you can buy a gift box as well. In case you are feeling parched, they also offer a variety of beverages, including espresso drinks and matcha. They gave me their little spiel about their business and their chocolates and let me try their signature chocolate, which was a salted caramel. This was the one that I was going to buy, so I was glad to sample it before purchasing. Their salted caramel is what they're known for because their owner, Fran, created it. France was also the Obama's chocolatier while he was in the White House. The chocolate was so creamy. I loved the sea salt and that you could actually taste it, rather than it being more mellow compared to the chocolate. Love the caramel too. it was perfect consistency, not too thick or thin. I decided to purchase two pieces of the salted caramel as a sweet treat this evening.

I failed to ask if I could taste the whiskey ganache's prior to purchase. I would skip that one next time. Look forward to enjoying the super dark chocolate with the family when the weather cools a little bit. The manager/ owner gave my son and I a taste of the superlative hot chocolate, and it was unbelievable. This is a great quality product, with classy service, and I would not hesitate to return for an indulgence.

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.
