    I've been craving real treats for a while and hadn't been able to find anything truly satisfying--until today. I can honestly and confidently say that this place has the best sweets in Seattle. We had a tiramisu cake, a variety of cookies, a strawberry and raspberry cake (I think), and different kinds of cupcakes. Every single one was amazing, and the tiramisu had to be the best I've ever had. The service was exceptional. Despite a line forming behind us, the staff made my kids feel comfortable and even encouraged them to take their time since they couldn't decide. That level of patience and kindness was truly appreciated. Lastly, the ambiance was cozy, and I can't wait to come back. Thank you for the amazing experience! Oh, and I almost forgot--the packaging was on point. You can tell it's not just about amazing treats but also about class and presentation.

    Had a piece of the Tres Leches and it was divine! The owner and his family were very nice, offered wonderful service and I'll definitely be back - great little dessert shop in the u district!

    So happy that a much-needed cake shop opened up in the area! You can find a variety of treats here including coffee, cakes, and baked goods. Jennifer is an incredibly talented baker and her cake designs will blow your mind. Sometimes she does special orders for holidays too. Stop by frequently for new goodies!

    Simply Desserts was my favorite cake shop when I lived in Seattle, and I'd heard the shop changed…read moreowners. During a recent visit, I made several attempts to stop by the new shop and order my favorite slice of confetti cake to see if it was as good as I remembered. The posted hours were incredibly limited, and at one point I stopped by during posted hours to find it closed. Very frustrating given I made a specific effort to record the hours and go back to Fremont specifically for this cake. I get that they're likely trying to save money by only being open a few hours a week, but they should at least be open during the few hours that they advertise as business hours.

    Got a cake the second time round! When I first visited the cake shop half an hour before close,…read morethey ran out of most of the cakes so I didn't get anything. The second time, even though it was late again, I was able to snag a chocolate cake with white chocolate icing. The slice was $9.5 after tax, which felt like an ok deal after paying exorbitant amount for cakes elsewhere... :( Cake was good. I liked how they put chocolate chips in the chocolate sponge - it was a nice surprise. I thought the to-go bag system is kind of impractical though. Seeing that the bag they have doesn't have handles, I initially said no to a bag. Then the lady wrapped the dish with the cake slice with a Saran Wrap and handed it over (pictured). I was expecting she put the cake in a container so I was surprised. I knew I wouldn't feel great carrying the cake on the bus like I'm at a cocktail party, so I asked for the brown bag. Maybe this place wants to encourage customers to eat in? They could do a better job with the container, but I might as well come in ready with my own container next time.

It smells so wonderful and warm when you enter and it's really a feast for your eyes. Everything looks so delicious and it's hard to choose. The staff was ver patient with me. My "go to" is the most famous twice baked almond croissant. On this visit ordered the "go to" , blueberry ginger scone, ratatouille sandwich, turkey havarti sandwich, banana bread, and some Americanos to go. This is not a sit down cafe so we thoroughly enjoyed them in the parked car. :) Every bite should be savored. Extraordinary!

    I got the twice baked chocolate croissant for 7.25! Might seem pricey but the pastry was genuinely…read moreso big that I think the price was actually a good deal. 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.

    Came here for a team event. After a heavy day of fiery debate and hacking, I wasn't sure if I was…read morein the mood for more feverish competitive activity with the same people but I was quite wrong and a good time was had! Just make sure you save some patience for figuring out the parking, especially in the summer days when you have to dodge kids in swimsuits. The event we did was essentially an Iron Chef-style competition, but we first had a happy hour of charcuterie cheese and fruit and an open bar (although the line for cocktails was a bit backlogged). We were divided into two groups with an assigned chef each to coach us through a 90 minute cooking session to come up with a meal plan consisting of our designated protein (my team got Salmon and the other team got chicken), 2 vegetarian sides, and a dessert. We had nearly access to a seemingly infinite amount ingredients to work with, but not all! Some ingredients even came from the garden outside but mostly the pantry is well stocked with so many different herbs, spices, cheeses, sauces, etc. Not to mention all kinds of kitchen equipment. We feared 90 minutes wouldn't be enough but it seemed to be just enough time without feeling too harried to brainstorm and come up with a plan, split up and prepare various dishes, plate for the judge as well as each other (to eat buffet style after the presentation). Each group selected a presenter to talk through the dishes and then we went to the main dining area to partake in each others' creations - with more drinks! The staff who judged the dishes had a lot of goodness to say about all the creations and the winning team got bragging rights and a blue mug. We dined right on Lake Union by huge windows such that it felt like the event turned into a fancy dinner cruise from there. All in all it was a great event and a great opportunity to connect.

She's pretty shy and tends to…read moreget anxious about trying new things, so I was worried that she wouldn't like the cooking camp but I was blown away at 1) the fun she had every single day, 2) the skills and concepts that were taught to her in a way that kids could comprehend, and 3) the dishes she made. The summer camps are a little pricey but I think was worth it, because the kids not only get to cook and eat good food but they also went home with their own apron, knife, and digital recipe book! My daughter now has more passion and confidence to cook independently. Highly recommend!

    Still the best bakery I've ever been to! Their tiramisu is the best and I literally think about it…read moreconstantly! Earl grey toast and black sesame toast are also my favorites! The shop is tucked away in the U district past the Lune cafe and near the driving school and a bagel shop. Jie has plenty of seating inside and a bench outside. Staff is quiet and seems to be a family owned business as usually the young woman takes the orders and there will be 1-2 young children/toddlers running around, playing, and laughing. I love the music here and always feel like it's such a calm, homey, and welcoming ambiance. I've stopped by many times for the tea toast and it never disappoints. My favorites are the Earl Grey and Black Sesame. The Earl grey toast tastes so good dipped in a hot peppermint or chamomile tea! The Tiramisu is an absolute must. I've gotten this for my birthday and split it with my man and he loves it too! I think about that yummy top layer and my mouth waters immediately even thinking of this dessert. I actually used to think I disliked Tiramisu as I guess I never had a good one or am very picky as well. Stopping in here just looking at that deliciousness I knew it would be good. Dang delicious! One of the best desserts I've everrrr had and most definitely the best Tiramisu I've had! Just amazing. Yummy. Tasty. You need to try! I've been a loyal customer for over a year now and will continue to be so! Always will recommend Jie!

She asked for a "theme" off her yelp page, which is an ok question for ordering a cake, but honestly I was trying to go for simple and did not want any fancy theme. I tried to appease her by figuring out a theme, and I may not have been explaining myself correctly but didn't deserve her reactive abrasive response. I was polite, kind, and doing my best to be clear while working with her, yet she somehow acted offended and spoke to me in a mean, unprofessional manner. While I was trying to correct however we got off on the wrong foot she just got more unprofessional. The interaction was so uncomfortable that I ended up in tears and canceled my order. I immediately called the bakery I usually use, and the process was easy and pleasant, exactly how it should be. Just a normal birthday cake ordering experience. This place completely lost my business due to her attitude alone. No one should be treated that way, especially when they're just trying to place an order. Very disappointing experience. I do not recommend her bakery on this experience alone.

My friend loved this cake so much back when he turned 40 he had the cake ordered the cake for his party from the cafe. He is visiting from LA and I had told him about finding out where to order his favorite coconut cake from. I'm sure he had a slice between his 40th birthday till now that he's 59 but he was so excited when I told him I had to order. We were having a small gathering of friends at his brother's during his stay so I placed an order for a 6 inch. I personally couldn't pick it up, but my friend who loves the cake did. Pick up went smoothly and the cake was wrapped in a plastic wrap which was nice. It was a warm day and I told my friend to make sure to have a cooler of sometime. We could not have been happier with the cake was as good as he remembered. Everyone loved the cake. Thank you for making my friend so happy!! I've picked up a couple slices from Miro for friends of the hummingbird and Blackout cakes. I'm afraid to buy a slice for myself cause it will be too easy to go back each time. The cake was moist and it wasn't overly sweet. There was still a quarter of the cake left for my friend to enjoy after the gathering. Thank you for making the visit so special.
