Well Walking around Chinatown and we were feeling for some Morning Bread or Pastries so we come up…read moreto Sweet Bakery and walk in . It kind of reminds me of 85 Bakery but not quite as good . So we look around and they carry pretty much the same types of pastries but there was a weird smell in this bakery . But we were just still kind of hungry in the morning . So there was a man who came out and greeted us but as we look around . They were kind of sold out of a lot of stuff but we ended up picking up something anyways . It's not bad but there are other bakeries around there you can try . Our overall thoughts are ok but if we were in Chinatown again we might come back hopefully they clean that weird smell because any bakery would smell delicious but this one had a very odd smell . Hopefully that they get rid of that smell but we might be back !!!

This bakery is very close to the train station. Very convenient to access. When we visit the store,…read moremost of the bakery sold out. We can see they are popular. We got several baked goods. We got the winter melon pastry and coconut crispy pastry. Both pastry has good crust and infill material.

Cupcake Royale's cupcakes are extremely tasty without being too overly sweet. The lavender is my…read morepersonal favorite. I really enjoy the different options that they present, and I'm happy to have them in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.

We were curious to try it out and just stopped by for some window shopping, but the flavors were so…read morecool we had to give them a try. Ordered mini cupcakes: 1) Triple Threat - I am a big fan of dark chocolate, and they said this was the closest to it. 2) The Gay - My 5 year old picked this one just because it had a rainbow edible sign on it. Flavor was vanilla. I loved the moistness in each cupcake, but the frosting was a bit too sweet for my liking. It was quick, just picked up, paid, and left. Mini cupcakes were $3.50 each. The server was great and helped us pick and decide on the flavors we wanted. Coming back again next time I am in Seattle!

Cookies and ice cream are some of my favorite treats. Anything s'mores is my number one favorite!…read moreSo when I saw they had ice cream and a s'mores cookie, I had to go. The shop is cute and nearby a park to enjoy it if it's a nice day outside. Staff were friendly and helpful. I love that you can make an ice cream sandwich with two different cookies. I grabbed the s'mores cookie and the orange habanero because it sounded amazing. And it was. I do not remember what ice cream I got, but it was good. It's a meal-sized cookie sandwich, but it's worth it. I will definitely be taking guests here when they come to visit!

This was such a cute place! It had been on my list for a while so when a friend suggested to meet…read morethere, I was happy to oblige. There was plenty of seating around 1 PM on a Thursday. It was busy but not crazy packed. They had a lot of options for pastries and drinks. I'd never had a London Fog before so I decided to get that. It was so good! I'm a big earl grey fan, so I figured I'd like it. Very sweet but not too much. The pastries all looked absolutely fabulous. It was hard to choose, but I went with the black sesame macaron. I'm a big black sesame fan. It was really good. The staff were also amazing! So kind and friendly.

Revisited Temple Pastries and ordered everything my heart desired. Scheduled an online order, which…read moreis super easy to do on their website at least 3 days ahead of time and lets you skip the line! Overall, I'd say their pastries were generally good not great and were significantly sogged up by 12:30 PM when I grabbed em. Their patisserie is stronger than the pastries IMO and while I wouldn't wait in a crazy line, it's still lovely neighborhood spot and perhaps the pastries are a better texture earlier in the day. Highlights: - Miso Roasted White Chocolate Cronut: My favorite item in their current rotation. The cronut was a tad soggy, but the buttery texture inside is still satisfying and the miso white chocolate filling is lusciously smooth and perfectly balanced between savory and sweet. - Blackberry Corn Mousse Cake: Blueberry mousse is the perfect fluffy texture and the corn is very subtle. The sponge cake is light and perfectly contrasts against the bottom layer of crunchies to add a bit of variety. - Blueberry Corn Croissant: Pastry also held up quite well on this one with the outside still being quite crisp. The inner cream unlike the mousse cake is very corn forward with a bit of blueberry jam to balance it out. Skip: - Black Forest Cake: Found the cake to be a bit too firm with the cream filling to be a little bland and too firm as well. Just wanted this to be better than it was. Also, it looks totally different from the photo on their website heads up. - Tomato Basil Croissant: Just found this to be off ratio wise. The only tomato is the 3 small quarters of cherry tomato at the top and a light smear of basil cream. I can see this being very good, but current form factor isn't doing it any favors.

Beautiful cakes, but overpriced and service should be improved. I preordered the jewel box - a…read morevariety of 6 different cake slices in a box. When I arrived there was only one worker, so the line moved extremely slow. When it was my turn I was expecting to just pick up my cake and go, but the order had to be packaged on the spot. I ended up waiting in line for 30 min total for a cake box I had pre-ordered. The box was around $60, so I expected better portions and service for the price. The cakes are beautiful and have unique flavors. But the pricing and the service should definitely be improved - especially for preorders.

I was so excited to try this place as my friend had highly recommended it to me…read more The interior is beautiful, I loved how the space looked inside. Service was great as well, the person behind the counter took her time explaining the flavor options and was patient with me as I selected a flavor. I tried the Keel Bill. The cake itself was super pretty, I loved the decorations. The flavors were very unique, not what you'd find at a typical bakery, which made it all the cooler. The flavor pairings were amazing and spot on (lychee gel was the best part), however the texture of the sponge cake ruined it for me. I paid $9 for a tiny slice (could have been bigger) that was super dry. Did not enjoy eating it. Sadly, they have so much potential, I was so looking forward to it.

Funny how this place still has their Timeless Tea logo where they're branded under another name…read more.. this almost deterred my friend and me from coming in on a Monday night around 7pm, but I'm glad we did since we wanted something sweet. We came in to an empty place and were pretty tempted to get their boba hotpot set but then settled on their milk tea. It's pretty brightly lit in here and there's a ton of tables to sit at. I got their roasted brûlée milk tea at 50% sweetness, and it was an all-right drink; it definitely felt unusually foamy as I drank more and more of it. My friend got their signature milk tea at 50% sweetness too, though when I had a sip I found it much sweeter than mine like it was at 100%; my friend also said he felt like it wasn't at 50% either. The drinks made were inconsistent, though this didn't affect my particular experience here. I'll get their other drinks if I do come back here, though I see myself going to Timeless Tea over at the Ave more often.

Another boba spot in Cap Hill and the Seattle area but slightly unique. For starters their menu has…read morea bit more delicacies (their "walking hot pot" and crystal noodles in particular). There's a large kiosk in the corner when you walk in and another smaller tablet near the cash registry. Eight round tables with small stools and a long power strip for many outlets help with charging, so great for a cozy work session. This spot is a bit tucked away and quiet with light Chinese music playing. Not a lot of service, they're pretty quiet which makes this space cozy for working. First thing I noticed was my drink being very light. Eventually I came to the realization that they used steamed milk on top of tea so there's a bit more air. Overall, less drink at a higher price point but it's a dessert cafe with much more to offer. Would come back with a group to share some of the desserts. Also note they serve some of the "healthier" Chinese desserts but still very delicious while feeling less guilty. Jasmine Milk Green Tea w/ Boba - at 30% sugar I could taste the green tea fairly. There was a hint of sweetness so appreciate the sugar levels being accurate. Boba is coated in honey for taste but a bit firm, could be cooked longer. As mentioned, the unique trait is steamed milk that creates a foam layer and introduces an unorthodox texture with a foamy, creamy taste. Though once you drink a majority, you are left with foam.

Omg, every single baked food we tried was insanely tasty. The standout was definitely the pistachio croissant! Loved the filling the super crumbly texture. The mousse cake was sooooooo indulgent and the scone had a great flavor, although they should cut down on the baking soda a bit. We also tried their Cortado and caramel latte. The ambience is a bit basic, but who cares when the food is soooo good.

I stopped by Petit Pierre Bakery one morning with some friends because they were craving pastries…read moreand wanted to try a new spot. As soon as you walk in, you'll notice there's a huge selection to choose from, which made it hard to decide! I ordered the savory chorizo croissant, while my friends got a blueberry pastry and another sweet croissant. I tried some of theirs, and both had just the right amount of subtle sweetness, they were really delicious. My chorizo croissant had great flavor too, but it wasn't warmed up. I understand the pastries sit out for a while, but I wasn't asked if I wanted it heated, so I ended up eating it cold. Even so, I still enjoyed it. I was still a little hungry, so I went back and ordered a ham and cheese croissant, this time asking for it to be warmed. It was simple but tasty, although the inside was still a bit below lukewarm. Not a big deal, just something I noticed. Overall, I enjoyed the bakery, especially the variety of pastries and the cozy atmosphere. If you're nearby in Magnolia, it's definitely worth stopping by and checking it out!

I haven't actually been by Maddy's brick and mortar store, but have snagged some goodies at Miro…read moreTea and the Ballard Farmer's Market. If you're at Ballard Farmer's Market, I must warn you that by 11 AM the pickings are quite sparse; if you can show up even 30 minutes before the, you'll increase your odds significantly of grabbing a goodie. Maddy's laminated pastry has a crisp outside that completely shatters when you dig in, which means it's a messy, but delectable treat. The layers are buttery and have a nice chew and the filling combinations are impeccably done. I often think matcha is overrated, but the Matcha Almond Pain Suisse is deliciously nutty with a little bit of grassy notes without being bitter. Seattle Dog Croissant has a very nice quality sausage, but I almost wish more cream cheese to punch you in the face. Cheese and Everything Bagel Seasoning Croissant had a great level of sodium and the cheese had crisped up when it spilled out. IMO Maddy's is better than Petite Pierre, better than Puffhouse, better than La Parisienne. So far, they've had the best pastries I've gotten to try in Seattle.

I honestly was excited to try this place so maybe my expectations was just too high, but it was…read morejust ok. The place itself is very hard to find and park, it's a very small shop with a couple of tables, they should just remove the tables because it's Soo small. Service was fine, pretty standard. Foodwise: the display case was pretty confusing - they have a lot more signs up than the actual food itself, and the menu also shows more. What's even more confusing was the display case can be a little different than what you actually get (ie the funfetti croissant displayed shows a regular croissant shape, but what you actually get is like a pan au chocolat shape)... What we got: - ham and cheese croissant -- not enough filling, and pretty standard Guava Suisse --not enough filling again, good though. Overall, I'm glad to have tried it, but won't be going out of the way for it again anytime soon
