A perfectly okay bakery. We got the lemon raspberry tart, churro cake, and almond cake. We will not be going back for any of the three. The lemon tart is fine, nothing to write home about but at least made with good ingredients. It's adhered to its little travel cardboard using what seems to be cool whip or spreadable marshmallow. 3/5 Almond cake is moist but relatively flavorless, with a lil disk or orange white chocolate in the center. Not worth the hefty $9.5 price tag. Total pass. 2/5 The best thing is the churro cake with its dulce de leche filling, but still not tasty enough for $10. 3.5/5 Staff was nice, helpful and accommodating they just can't make up for mediocre pastry. read more

I found this wonderful dessert bar because of a review posted by Portland Elite Yelper, Ron R. My friends and I were extremely exhausted after spending the evening watching the Savannah Bananas baseball game at the T-Mobile Stadium. We'd grabbed dinner in Capitol Hill, but wanted to find dessert to take back to the hotel room. Initially resigned to simply stopping in an AM/PM, I did a quick Yelp search and found this amazing place. Open late on the weekends, R&M Dessert Bar has an extensive list of really delicious desserts and pastries to choose from. My friends and I ordered a wide selection of desserts to take back to our room, and I didn't expect the classy presentation for a take out order. Each dessert was elegantly packaged in glossy boxes with gold thread, then placed into a sturdy gift bag with a handle. Love is in the details at this place, my friends. Even though it was quite late when we got around to enjoying our treats, everything tasted fresh and delicious. The flourless chocolate cake was one of the best I've ever had, and the lemon tart was very memorable as well. It was buttery, sweet, tart, and oh, so yummy. The dessert bar has a few tables in their brick and mortar location, but I get a sense most people order their desserts to go. There's very little parking nearby, but if you're a regular visitor to Seattle that's just par for the course. read more

I stopped by randomly to try their desserts. It was late so they didn't have all the options available, so I got the triple chocolate cake. It was good overall, but I'd be interested in trying some of their other desserts, like a tart. It's a convenient dessert spot in Capitol Hill, so I'd be back. Parking is paid and hard to get. You could drive further into the neighborhood to find something for free. Taking the bus is easy. read more

Food - we have been trying to go to this spot but its been closed the last few times. we finally made it in and got a few desserts. i must be ordering the wrong things because i see a ton of highly rated reviews. everything we got was really sweet for me. i also saw a few bugs inside the pastry case that i was trying to ignore. service - very friendly and came over right when we walked in. ambiance - not for eating there, to-go orders only. its located inside of an apartment building which has chairs set up in the lobby. theres a sign that specifically says no eating food here! good things the desserts are easy to take home. read more

We came here on a Monday around 7 PM. Turns out this place is takeout-only, as there's no dine-in space. The staff was friendly. We got the Raspberry Almond Cheesecake, Blueberry Tart, and Apple Tart. They weren't bad--nicely balanced and not too sweet, which we appreciated. Overall, we wish there was a dine-in area--it would've made for a completely different experience. read more

Cute dessert place~ on the more expensive side for portion so definitely a treat. I got the berry ricotta tart, which was so yummy! Incredible balance on flavors! Also tried the chocolate strawberry mousse dome which was also a nice balance of classic flavors. I expected the dome to be sturdier so all the texture for it was on the soft side. read more

Walked in on a whim and am so glad we did! Ordered a Chocolate Strawberry Mousse Dome and a Triple Chocolate Cake. The gentleman behind the counter heat up the cake for us. The mousse dome was fabulous! It was the perfect blend of chocolate and strawberry, and wasn't overpoweringly sweet. But the chocolate cake was the winner of the evening, I will have dreams about it in the future for sure. The ganache on top was the perfect addition. read more

Overpriced and no where to eat dessert even though they charge extra to heat up your baked good. The churro cake was the better of the two desserts I bought (also tried their chocolate bread pudding). read more

Beautiful presentation and always have a special unique taste! So far I've only tried their berry chocolate dome (amazing), chocolate cake with ganache (also amazing) and the cherry tart (which was actually too sweet but the tart crust was soooo good). Excited to try their other desserts! Wish the location has easier parking access... it doesn't have parking of course so either you are lucky and find a spot to take ages to park and walk there... read more

This was near a work dinner in Cap Hill so I had to stop by for some post-drink munchies. I got a lemon tart to take home and eat and granola for later--they were all delicious. Service was impeccable and immaculate! Real and friendly, seems like a great neighborhood small business. (And it is located in an apartment building? With a UPS/mail room next to it on the bottom floor?) There were lots of options and I would go back if I lived in Seattle! read more

I was shopping in Capitol Hill when I walked by R&M Dessert Bar and had to stop in to satisfy my sweet tooth. The shop is a takeaway boutique where you walk up to the counter and order the pastries to-go. Their menu options change daily so you have no idea what they have available for the day. Everything in their visual menu display case looked gorgeous and I had a hard time choosing. I settled on the triple chocolate cake and raspberry mousse tart. The guy at the counter heated the chocolate cake before packing it. Unfortunately, since it's a small, little shop that doesn't have any seatings, you really can't enjoy your sweet treats right away. Also, while the desserts tasted good, they were really expensive @ $9 a piece. I have had similar desserts for much lesser price and better flavor. I am knocking of 2 stars for these reasons. read more

Pretty decent dessert bar off of pike. Came in late on Sunday night and got a triple chocolate cake along with a huckleberry pint. Both tasted pretty good and were decently priced for Seattle dessert standards. Cake was a bit dry and not very warm but it was at the end of the night so it's kind of fair. No sitting space available for customers was also a little annoying but it was raining and taking everything home wasn't a big deal. No samples for the ice cream was also a bit of a bummer too but the service itself was friendly and polite, would recommend if you want to support a local business and get a s sweet bite! read more

This is my absolute favorite dessert place and the owner/chef deserves so much love for the variety of desserts he makes. Every single dessert is such a hit too! Most recently, I had his chocolate strawberry mousse dome and that was so good. It's not absurdly sweet, chocolate was smooth, the mousse was even smoother. My only real complaint is that there's nowhere to eat his beautiful creations. There's no seating, so you'd have to bring it home, or to the park to eat it outside or something. But it's all so worth for a little sweet treat from R&M. Special shout outs to the owner too! The first time I came in, everything sounded so good so I asked him which was his favorite. He just said "they're all my favorites. Since I made them all". So much aura. And the target birds haha Overall 100/10! If I lived closer, I would definitely gain 10 pounds because I wouldn't be able to resist. I could not recommend enough!! read more

It was fine. Not much flavor, but pretty. We tried a cheesecake (meh), something else that was so unremarkable I can't even remember what it was, and the triple chocolate cake. The cake was really good. I wouldn't order anything else again. read more

triple chocolate cake was more like a brownie... I appreciate the warming instructions but unfortunately I didn't have a microwave so I just had a thick ganache that was as sweet as icing, on top of the already sweet cake read more

A charming little dessert shop with a nice selection, though I found it slightly overpriced for the flavor. The desserts are good, but they didn't quite wow me. That said, it's still a lovely spot to grab a treat--perhaps the offerings just weren't to my personal taste. read more

Tried a few of the desserts and they were both great! I like the different options and the ability to get instructions if you want to heat up your dessert at home. The store is pretty small, so definitely a grab and go situation and the service was great! I definitely want to try the ice cream next time I go! read more

We tried pistachio cheesecake and lemon cake. Both were great and not overly sweet. Would highly recommend trying a few desserts.

We were in Seattle recently and were looking for a new to us dessert place to try. We found R&M Dessert Bar on Yelp and decided to try it. They had great options and it was tough deciding which ones to get. We got Pistacchio Cioccolato Tart and Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake. They are a take out only place, we took our desserts to a park to enjoy. We loved them both, they were delicious, the right amount of sweet and decadent. We will definitely be back to try other items they have. read more

R&M Dessert Bar - Chocolate Raspberry Tart - Desserts Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A unique dessert experience in that everything is takeout, so you can buy a bunch of desserts, warm them up yourself whenever, and eat from the comfort of your own home. I liked how everything was packaged nicely in microwave safe containers and also had instructions to warm them up. The downside to this is that I feel a lot of these desserts would've tasted better fresh. My favorite dessert was the Tres Leches cake, which is their most popular for a reason. The cake was soft and fluffy but kept moist by the generous milky soak which seemed to be lightly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. The cake itself wasn't too sweet which was good since the soak was on the sweeter side. The ice cream here is also really good and contends with the local ice cream specialty shops. I got the marionberry and cheesecake ice cream and it was delicious. The ice cream texture was soft and scoopable even right from the freezer. The base was rich and had a fresh dairy flavor. That combined with hints of fruitiness from the marionberry swirl and the chunks of cheesecake which had a slight tanginess and textural contrast was amazing. read more

Tiny dessert spot that feels like a pop-up inside a hotel, R&M does not have any seating and the hotel they're in asks you not to eat in the lobby. Very much a dessert takeout spot. Many reviews rave about the fruity options which unfortunately we did not try, so we must return to try them. Lack of ambiance and environment definitely hurts as they do offer heating up of desserts but you have to find somewhere else to enjoy them. Price also hurts, so despite being very tasty, I found the overall experience average at 3 stars. While rich and made with care, the desserts can be rather small for their price point. At nearly $10 before tip, each item is very small and easily cupped in your hand. Definitely a spot to wrap up the night but I'd honestly even consider another dessert spot beforehand and then wrap up the night here if anything. Price is very comparable to some fancy restaurant dessert, but it's not a fancy restaurant nor is the presentation necessarily above and beyond because they simply grab the dessert from the case and hand it off. Dark Chocolate Mousse with cocoa crumbles - tasted just like a classic mousse. Nothing special. Nothing particularly bad or good about this item, just an average dessert. S'mores Tart - least favorite item, the s'mores tart would be much better heated but we weren't told it was recommended like the triple chocolate cake. The inside had a caramel-like chocolate cream so it was hard to gauge. Would likely pass on this again. Triple Chocolate Cake - we were told this is much better heated so it was an option. Of course we got it heated to try. It's like a warm brownie with very rich chocolate. My second favorite item of the 4 but collectively we all called it our number two choice. Tres Leches Cake - the best item of these 4, agreed upon unanimously. Tres leches cakes are soaked in milk and have a spongey texture. This tres leches cake was super rich and creamy. Gentle and light but pleasing to the taste buds. read more

3.5* There is no place for dine in. It's like a pop up where you get your order and take it back to whenever you are staying. We ordered the passion fruit tart and the tres leches. We found a piece of fabric fuzz baked into our passion fruit tart. Flavor-wise both desserts were decent. But the portions are pretty big. I was with dessert loving people who always have room for dessert, and we could not finish our order after dinner. read more

A hidden gem on the bottom floor of Cove Apartments, as soon you enter the front door you are greeted by the sweet smell and unexpected store front, with a case full of beautiful deserts. We ordered the triple chocolate cake and tres leches cake to-go. I loved the attention to detail around the specific warming instructions provided with the chocolate cake. It says to microwave the cake for 25 seconds and the sauce for 8 seconds, which doesn't seem like a long time but, the sauce was so perfectly melted, I was beyond impressed at the accuracy. The triple chocolate cake was decadent, smooth and rich. The tres leches cake, to die for. Moist, delicate, and the perfect level of sweetness. Each desert was $9 which feels pricey but, I felt it was worth the price with every bite I took. A must visit for dessert, I will be making it a point to stop by and try something new anytime I'm in the neighborhood read more

R&M Dessert Bar - Triple chocolate cake and tres leches cake. You will savor every bite - Desserts Near Me - Seattle, Washington

R&M used to have a small seating area, but since COVID hit it has been an exclusively take-out business. You walk in through a double set of doors and the shop with a counter of ready-made desserts is to the left. Each dessert costs around $10 and is relatively small - but mighty! These desserts are so sweet and rich, I doubt I could eat a larger portion. I picked up a chocolate bread pudding the other night, which came with a beautiful gift-worthy box, warming instructions, and a cup of vanilla bean ice cream. The chocolate was rich, and so intense that it was hard to remember I was eating a bread pudding, but it had that exact bread pudding texture I'd been craving. Without the ice cream it would have been too much, but with it, mmmmm. After one great experience I decided I wanted a birthday treat from R&M. I picked the tres leches cake this time, their most popular item. There was no fancy box for this one, just a simple aluminum pan. Once again, this is very sweet, gooey and light, with flavors of milk, cinnamon, caramel. I enjoyed it with a black coffee. I hope that someday they re-open for in-person dining. I always wanted to try their monthly Chef's Tasting Menu! But in the mean time, R&M is staying in their lane, making superb take-home desserts for when you want to treat yourself or someone special in your life. Enjoy! read more

In need of a quick fix to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings and midnight munchies? And no bakeries are open :( "R&M Dessert Bar" is your answer! It's a tiny hole-in-the-wall kind of place right along Pike St, and they're usually open late. With not many restaurant options serving dessert, these guys fit the bill perfectly. Did you wanna add a bottle of wine to your order? Well, they've got that too! Just keep in mind that this is more of a grab'n'go kind of place. So don't expect to dine in. I believe their entrance is shared with a residential building, so mask up! Anyways, all servings are considered individual size, and cost about $9 each. Here's the sweet deliciousness we've tried: ~ Strawberry Mascarpone Tart - Mmm mmm, that crust! And the creaminess of the tart was really pleasant. ~ Tres Leche Cake - Super sweet, so make sure your coffee is black or you're using a lite creamer. Loved it! ~ Apple Tart - Again, that crust! Another winner in my opinion. ~ Triple Chocolate Cake - Rich so rich, so chocolatety ganache rich! Warm it up as directed, and you'll be very satisfied with this one. I'd grab a glass of milk to go along with it. No joke, a serious recommendation about that too lol! This place is quick, and the guys working here seem nice. It's just confectionery goodness! Enjoy! read more

This place is takeout only and good to grab a dessert after a meal at cap hill. I got the strawberry moose dome which was heavenly! It was nicely packed and reached home safely! I would have liked it if the place had some seating because there is no place to eat the dessert nearby during night. There were also a couple of homeless sleeping right outside the store which made it feel a little unsafe. read more

I came after reading so many positive reviews, and honestly I was disappointed. It's located on the first floor of an apartment or office building, so you gotta enter 2 doors to get inside the shop. Only 2 groups were allowed inside when I visited, so there may be a short wait. No seating anywhere near the shop. We tried the signature tres leches cake (small, sweet doesn't have much milky taste) and the pumpkin bread pudding with ice cream. Neither were that impressive. I've had better tres leches cake from the Mexican grocery store. Definitely that worth the price tag. Service was good. They offered heat up the bread pudding. Tip: If you are looking for a place to sit and enjoy the dessert right away, there are seating available inside Amazon Fresh across the street. You just have to make a purchase to sit there. We got a bottle of water, which came in handy to wash down the tres leches. read more

Were looking for a good dessert place which was open till late and found this bakery. Place was surrounded by many homeless people. Parking is not easily available. It seems like there are even other eateries in the building which were closed when we arrived. They offer only take out. Not many dessert options, at a time only one customer can see and place an order. The small variety of desserts that are their are an average $10, and the quantity for such price. Just not worth it. We had their:- Triple chocolate cake:- The guy told us to heat the micro mini cake for 15 sec before eating. The packaging was such that you can directly place it in the microwave. Tasted good. Have definitely had such tasting cake for the same price plus more quantity. read more

My husband and I enjoy our date nights and even though date night since March consist of takeout and curbside pickup we make each one memorable by selecting different establishments like R & M Dessert bar. This dessert bar may be small, but its definitely mighty in quality, quantity, and taste of dessert options. The quality of each item was superb, nothing was overly sweet, dry, or too rich. Each dessert is large enough to feed 2 people, and the prices are ideal. I greatly appreciate the social distancing parameters that are strictly enforced, ensuring the safety of the staff and patrons. If you're in the area I highly recommend stopping by to order takeout (no dining in options.) read more

Picked up a few tarts togo. I appreciate that they include the microwave instructions! Heating up the tart is definitely the way to go. Chocolate raspberry tart- It's a bit reminiscent of chocolate pudding on top raspberry jam. Not quite my cup of tea, but it is an excellent crust. 3/5 Blueberry tart- This tasted like a classic blueberry pie with a nice crumb layer on top. Also the same great crust. It is very sweet. 4/5 Looking forward to trying more desserts from here! It looks like their flavors rotate around quite a bit. read more

Said it was open on line but we got there and the doors where locked. No sign nothing.

My boyfriend surprised me with one of their takeout dessert flights and it was such a treat! The box we got had Coconut & chocolate bites, which were VERY coconutey, so if you like that you will love this. The chocolate is super creamy and smooth. The box also included a cannoli tart which was delicious, but there was a spice or ingredient or something in there I don't totally love. The pistachio tuiles were perfectly chewy, crispy, sweet, and nutty. The blueberry coffee cake was my absolute favorite one, it was fresh and fruity, with a nice toasted frosted berry topping, and the chocolate flan patissier was really rich and creamy. read more

Chocolate cake was good. Also tried the tres leches and the brownie sundae. They were good, but the chocolate cake is definitely superior. I went to this place a year ago and it looked small and very mediocre so I didn't get anything. I definitely missed out. Highly recommend coming here!
