Absolutely blown away by Bon Bon Bakery. Their cakes are next-level -- not only stunning to look…read moreat, but genuinely some of the best-tasting desserts I've ever had. Every detail is thoughtfully done, from the clean, elegant design to the perfectly balanced flavors (not overly sweet, just right). You can tell they care about quality and service -- the texture, the freshness, the flavor combinations... everything hits. It's rare to find a bakery that nails both aesthetics and taste this well. If you're looking for a cake that feels special, elevated, and actually delivers on flavor, this is the place. Family owned and operated! I'll be coming back every time I need something beautiful and delicious.

I visited this bakery and bought four pastries today. Some popular items were already sold out…read morebecause I went around 1:00 p.m., so if you want the best selection, I recommend going in the morning. The pastries were fresh and delicious. However, I was disappointed with the service. I chose not to buy a plastic bag, but I expected the cashier to place my individually wrapped pastries into one paper bag, as they have done during my previous visits. Instead, I had to carry each one separately to my car. I don't know if it was because I didn't leave a tip, but it made me feel that way. It left me with a disappointing impression of the customer service.

THIS PLACE!!! (Now called Erica's worlds best Mexican desserts)…read more Calling all Latino/as and lovers of sweet treats!!! This place has an amazing menu that will scratch all your itches. Fruits, raspados, biónicos, duros, candies, American ice cream, ice cream truck ice creams. As a Mexican who grew up in California I miss this stuff!! I got a vanilla raspado with condensed milk ("lame" I know but it's soooo good!) and it HIT THE SPOT!!! So flavorful so sweet Exactly what I've missed! This staff is also incredibly friendly. There is some seating inside as well :) Bring the whole family, there's something for EVERYONE!

i decided to drive to tacoma from west seattle since it's a long weekend and i figured the traffic…read morewould be light. i'd seen posts for bas-que and being a lover of exceptional baked goods, basque food and cheesecake, it felt like it might be a home run in terms of tasty treats. the window was sparse when i walked up and there was no line; that's because it was shy of their 9am opening time. the sad news was that their full offerings were not yet ready so i opted to choose from what was available. i got a slice of cheesecake and a rhubarb cream scone. i had wanted to try their empanadas and their rye loaf but alas, things were still baking. in the brief conversation i had with the super sweet woman who helped me, i mentioned i had driven from west seattle and she seemed sad that i didn't have the amount of options they'd usually have available. after i paid and she handed me the bag, she mentioned she'd added in a free chocolate chip cheesecake cookie to try. i hadn't been prepared for that act of generosity and it so reminded me of the south american quechua concept of a yapa, the thing thrown in as an act of appreciation by the seller once you'd haggled for whatever you were buying. i got partially up i5 north before i could no longer resist and ripped off a chunk of the cookie. what a win! it's not too sweet and the cheesecake center is so delightfully contrasted by the chocolate. sooooooo good! moral of the story: don't overlook those cookies because other things in the window seem more unique. the cookies demand equal attention, too! i'll definitely be back. i envision making a detour off i5 when headed further south on future road trips; this small dutch door bakery is not to be passed up!

We saw the sign to this place a week ago and looked them up online. Today we decided to try it. We…read moremade a great decision! We tried the garlic roll, empanada and sausage roll. The sourdough around the rolls were amazing!! The empanada was just as flavorful as the ones I had in Puerto Rico. We also tried the brown sugar maple scone. It was fantastic, crumbly in the good way, and the flavor was the perfect amount of sweetness. We got a piece of the cheesecake, but are waiting until after dinner to enjoy it. We asked for the cheesecake chocolate chip cookie, but they were sold out, however the owner had a mistake that he gave our group to try, hands down the best cookie ever, it tasted like brown butter and creamy all in one. We will definitely be going back. Make sure to check them out!! They are only open until 2 and closed Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. Definitely worth checking out!!!

Typically get the jalapeño sausage breakfast sandwich. The bread is super soft, the sausage has a nice flavor, and there isn't too much egg. It also come served warm which makes it yummy. I'm also a bit picky when it comes to coffee and how it's made. Corina does a GREAT cappuccino. It's strong without a bitter taste to it. Also like to get one of their macarons-they never disappoint!

I always pass by this shop, so today I finally decided to come in and give it a proper try…read more Ambiance: It's definitely very inviting. The floral arrangements and product displays were clearly designed with great care. All the items are wrapped in plastic wrap to keep them fresh. The shop is quite spacious, and the interesting paintings on the walls really leave an impression. All of this plays a huge role in building up their customer base. Service: The signage inside is clear, and everyone lines up in an orderly way. The staff is warm and welcoming, and they even asked if I wanted my bread warmed up. The order came out very fast--overall, a great service experience. Taste: I ordered two pastries: an almond croissant and a chocolate croissant. The almond croissant was packed with ingredients, with a thick, rich layer of processed almond filling in the middle. The texture was great--highly recommended! However, the chocolate croissant was a total disaster!!! My first bite was actually satisfying; the chocolate flavor and texture were rich. But on my second bite, I realized... it was underbaked. So disappointing.

I visited this bakery which is inside a grocery store on a weekend morning for the first time. It…read moreis a fairly new spot in Federal Way, and since it was my first time trying this type of cuisine, I asked a staff member for some insight into the different items they sell. They were incredibly helpful and even offered samples to help me decide! While I was looking around, I noticed a huge variety of freshly baked goods coming out throughout the time I was there. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering how generously they fill the containers they serve in. The service was excellent; the staff were friendly and patient while I made my selections. In the end, I went with an ube bread, a cheesecake, and a savory pastry with meat inside. The flavors were fantastic, and I was very happy with my purchases. I even got to share them with some friends who were also new to this cuisine, and it was a hit! I will definitely be back.

San Honoré Panaderia is located in the Island Pacific Seafood Market food court. I love the variety…read moreof bread sold here, which reminds me of Goldilocks and Red Ribbon Bakeshop in other areas of the country. I believe this is the only full fledged Filipino bakery in the area, so it's awesome to see such a great selection. Pianono Ube Roll ($9.99) - After purchase, we took a seat at one of the cafeteria tables to try the roll out. This roll is essentially an ube flavored swiss roll, deep purple in color, but smashed until flat. This seems to be due to how soft the roll is - usually I find swiss rolls denser to stand up to slicing, but this one is so soft and moist there's no way to slice it up without the structure collapsing. It's moist, fluffy, full of ube flavor and isn't too sweet. Unfortunately the quality of the ube roll is suspect. We purchased this on a Saturday afternoon and there was a sticker on the box labeling it best by the following Wednesday. On Monday morning there was visited mold growing all over, so only a day and a half after purchase. It was sitting on table with all the other baked goods and it wasn't obvious that it had to be refrigerated. (2/5) Spanish Bread ($8.99) - I used to love eating the warm, buttery sweet Señorita bread from Starbread bakery down in the Bay Area. They were so delicious, I literally could eat an entire box of ten in one sitting. Seeing it here, I had to pick a box up. San Honore's version is much larger, probably 2 to 3 times the size I'm used to. The bread is hard and dense and it's less golden brown in color and more pale. Breadcrumbs dust the exterior, while the interior is filled with a slightly sweet and dense paste. It's quite dense all around, nothing like the sweet "crack fingers" as my friends used to call them at Starbread. (3/5) Taho ($7.99) - The Taho is served piping hot in plastic cup. It's so hot that it actually melts the plastic and gave me a nasty burned tongue on my first sip. I actually saw another customer come up and ask them to fill up her own metal tumbler - probably the smarter idea. In terms of the drink, there's a super sweet minerally brown sugar coating on the bottom of the cup, followed by plenty of silky and soft tofu, filled with beany flavor and a bit of sweetness. It's very easy to suck up through the straw. The final ingredient on top, a bit of soft sago pearls (there's a sign that states tapioca pearls, but these are definitely sago). The tofu is clean tasting to start, but after an hour or so when it starts to cool down some of the off sour notes come out. There's no way it's gone bad in that amount of time (and it's not an unpleasant sourness), so I wonder if it's from the coagulant being used to make the tofu. (4/5) San Honoré Panaderia is a bit of a mixed bag with questionable quality. There are still a bunch of items I'd love to try but I'm not in any hurry to revisit.

My vegan friends who came to visit stopped by here twice during their time here and said it was the best vegan cake they've ever had. I love seeing what new cake slice flavors they release each month. I've tried lots of different flavors but my absolute favorite is pumpkin. I wish it was all year long! Best pumpkin cake I've ever had. You really cant go wrong with any flavor. The cake is so moist and flavorful, you can tell they use high quality ingredients. The staff is always really friendly and helpful and really nice. It's truly the best dessert stop!

Spouse had a cheese cheddar scone - warm it when you get it home. I tried the vegan layered butter cream espresso cake - didn't care for it, to me it's a bit veganish - it just wasn't that good and not much espresso taste. I will make a better homemade cake to me that was a fail. Even for $12. A slice I won't eat it. I'm sure some of the others must have been better. You order, you stand and wait and still are guilted into at least a 15% tip. They don't have adequate parking and most is paid parking to run on and get a sweet treat . The pride flags - June is over - I think it might be an LGBTQ bakery, I didn't see one man working. It's larger than it appears, not for the customer area. It's clean, and the cashier is friendly enough. I disagree for having to feel I need to tip when I pay to park and walk 50 steps, and have to stand and wait for my order. I saw another poor review posted on the wall and then it was recindered (maybe after public humiliation they marked it thst way, I wasn't impressed with that it seems like bullying.

I really enjoyed it! The strawberry crunch cupcake and lemon cupcake are both filled with real fruit or custard and are delicious!
