Out of egg tarts by 4pm on a Thursday.. I was disappointed.. more sad than anything! The Taro bubble tea was ick! The tapioca just didn't seem right, I went across the street and went to Oasis and got my Taro drink instead. I gave it 2 stars only because the cakes were good.. otherwise.. I'm a sad panda! read more

I had to order a last minute cake, and they were the only ones that could have done it within my time frame which was great because i needed it within the next 6 hours. I ordered a strawberry and custard on white cake with green tea frosting. I actually wanted green tea cake but they ran out, which kind of bummed me out, but i was glad with my decesion. The cake was pretty good, and i would order here again. I ordered an 8 in round cake and the total was 38 dollars, which i find pretty expensive because you can order a 9 in round cake at Baskin Robbins for 40$ and that's entirely ice cream cake. If you're looking for something asian and love fruit cakes i would order from here if you don't mind the prices i would order again if it was a last minute order. read more

I loved their sponge cake. It think it is the best sponge cake in Seattle. Other bakery products are all right, my family order birthday cakes from them every once in a while. read more

This bakery is fine enough- the selection is limited but has all the usual suspects. I usually stop by because of convenience when I am next door at Green Village. The service is meh. On a recent visit I bought 5 buns and wanted a small box so that they wouldn't get squished. The woman said they couldn't give me one because I didn't buy enough, odd because I saw small boxes behind the counter that would have been the perfect size. read more

This was my second stop on a beef curry turnover walking tour. I showed up a little bit after noon on a Sunday, AND THEY WERE SOLD OUT. The lady said I had to call ahead and reserve. Daaang. I ended up getting an egg tart. Usually I like the kind with a flaky crust. This place had more of a pie crust and it was pretty damn good, one of my faves. Next time I'm in town, I'll have to call ahead and make reservations! read more

This is my favorite place in all of Seattle. From their cakes, butter cookies, and cream puffs, and down to hotdogs, everything I've had here is delicious. Now, unlike most American cakes, the cakes you get at Yummy House are not as high in fat and barely use frosting. I've also never seen anything that would not have a natural color to it - so do not expect acid green, blue, or pink here. I've ordered custom made cakes multiple times as well and every time they were spot on. Some of my favorites: tiramisu (though it is not really a tiramisu, it is very tasty), napoleon, and mixed berry. I also like hot dogs here for they are made European style: the sausage is wrapped in pasty and baked together. Last but not least, do get some of their butter cookies, and paired with coffee, they will make any coffee break better. read more

Stopped by this bakery after reading great reviews on it. Walked in and was very disappointed by their lack of selections. Got me a bun filled with chicken and a sliced of mocha cake roll. Chicken bun was bleh. Didn't like it at all. Cake roll wasn't that great either. I prefer A Piece of Cake bakery around the corner. 3 stars for friendly service! read more

For their Egg Tart only. Custard was good... eggy, thick, and creamy... with just a good amount of sweetness. The sugar was jelly like, like most egg tarts Crust was powdery/crumbly... weird because I'm used to a flakey/buttery crust. After thinking about it, I really prefer chinese egg tarts over portuguese egg tarts because the flakiness and butteryness of it all. read more

Not into it. I've been completely spoiled by Mon Hei bakery, but since the fire, I've been trying to look for another Chinese bakery to replace it. I chose Yummy because it saw they made the butter cream buns (my favorite). Every bite of the the bun made me sad. The bun wasn't as soft, and it was way too thick. The butter cream was also way too buttery flavored and had no hint of sweetness. This visit, along with my first visit (came in right after they opened, they had NO pastries out) just made me realize that this bakery is not for me. Hope Mon Hei can open again soon! read more

O.M.G.!!! This bakery is delish!!!!! A got a slice of mango mousse cake and it was perfect. The mousse was lighter than clouds and Yummy House uses real fruit in one of the filling layers. I wasn't able to tell if the mango was out of season. The entire slice had what must be poured campote. My taste buds were bursting with mango and at the same time, didn't taste like a 100% sugary treat. Everything, from the cake, mousse, syrup, real fruit, made me easily understand why this was from a bakery called Yummy House. read more

I stopped in while exploring the ID. I lived in Hong Kong for 6 months and was looking to find some of my favorite bakery goods. It is a small shop but they have all the classics (pork bun, custard bun, pineapple bun, egg tarts, and more!). There food is all pretty good. I was pleased. read more

Got a beautiful mocha cake for a friend last min. I'm not a fan of typical overly sweet cakes so this was wonderful! The woman was very helpful and included a disposable cake knife. Grabbed a milk tea to go and off I was in minutes. read more

Today I picked up a birthday cake I had ordered for a co-worker the day before. The lady who boxed it also included a cake-cutter and two candles, which was a really nice touch. The cake was beautifully decorated and very fresh. Everyone who tried the cake loved it! The cake was light and fluffy, a perfect summer-time treat. read more

Yummy House Bakery - 8 inch birthday cake. Looked even better in person. - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is the only place I will get cake, and the only place you can customize the cake. Just go one day in advance and place the order. It will be ready the next day. You can also call in to avoid finding the parking. My favorite remains the durian cake. It is not on the menu anywhere, that's why I said you have to special order it. You have to order at least a 8" to get durian as a selection. I think it costs a little bit more than the mixed fruit cake, but who cares? It has durian bits and pieces in the cream inside the cake. Yum! Also check out the Chinese donut while you are there. It is a dough with a sugar coating. This place knows how to make it right. You have to eat it fresh though. read more

Love this place!!! Bought custard tarts here and they taste amazing!!!! Also recently I noticed that they started accepting Apple Pay. I remember there are quite a few bakeries in the neighborhood that don't accept credit card or requires 20$ min purchase. Anyway, look forward to trying other things besides custard tarts next time! read more

There are two Yummy House bakeries in close proximity to one another in the International District, one in Uwajimaya Village and their main storefront with the yellow awning. This review pertains to their main storefront, although both locations are under the same management, and both make great stuff. I discovered Yummy House while working as a temp in a big company's office nearby. So many of the businesses in the International District are cash-only, so I was happy to discover this bakery happily takes debit & credit cards. Yummy House quickly became my favorite location for buns--they are unbelievably cheap, the selection is broad & enticing, and nearly everything I tried tasted fantastic. The staff have been extremely friendly every time I've visited. I wish I could pick a favorite bun, but there's just too many good ones. I read Yelp reviews before my first visit and had seen raves about the sweet pork and the BBQ pork buns, but I must admit I wasn't wowed by either. However, I was wowed by: the fried tuna buns (unexpectedly sweet & savory), the bacon & cheese bun (perfect for breakfast), the hot custard buns, and the sweet red bean buns. Each of those consistently impressed me. Most of the buns at Yummy House run from $1.00 to $1.35 depending on ingredients. Yummy House also offers a wide range of sodas, teas and bubble teas as well as some truly yummy cakes (I agree with others about the wonderful strawberry sponge cake). I've traveled all over the place, and I keep coming back to Yummy House. They do what they do very well. For comparison, my gold standard for Asian sweets is Jing Fong in NYC, and Yummy House is just as good at what they offer. Highly recommended! read more

Got a hot dog bun roll that was tasty. I enjoy there fruit filled sponge cakes here. Very fashionable and not to sweet which is which I prefer. read more

Yummy House Bakery - Fruit filled 3/4 sheet cake - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Yum! Indeed. This place was a must-stop if I was ever in the area. Everything I ever had there was yummy. Try the cakes!

We were heading to dinner with some friends and had made very good time into Seattle and my girl mentioned that she had never been to Chinatown! Say what? Ok she has a valid reason being that she is Canadian and goes back often so she visits Chinatown back home, phew I was gonna pull her pinay card from her, lol! Since we had dinner reservations of course we wanted dessert and what's better than a Chinese bakery??? Yummy House was the pick of the draw as we drove through the ID and they still had a good selection on a Saturday evening. I went for some Pineapple bread, egg tarts, fruit tarts and almond cookies! My gf on the other hand she went a little "cray," let's just say she left with a cake on top of all the goodies!!! I'll have to remember to stop by earlier in the day to see how their Humbao tastes as they were out already for the night! read more

Stopped by for an Asian Sponge Fruit cake for a birthday dinner. Absolutely delicious, nicely decorated and decently priced. I picked up 2 cakes (Mango [$32] and Mixed Fruit [$28]). They even offered to write on my cake, which gave it a nice personalization touch without any hassle or pre-ordering. However, they do take pre-orders and customizations on cakes. Also, 1 free candle was given with purchase. Super convenient that I didn't have to stop elsewhere for candles! read more

My family has been coming here for cakes, pastries, buns for years! Coming from Hong Kong, one of the things I missed the most from my youth were the hot dog buns. My dad used to get me one every morning for breakfast before school, and this just brings back the feels! In the morning, whenever I have time, I'll swing by, get a hot milk tea (another hk favorite) and a hot dog bun or other savory bun. They also have custard buns which are amazing, and other tarts baked fresh daily. Another review said they fly off the shelves and they are right. If I get there after 10:30, there's slim pickings. The cakes are also amazing, we recently had a tiramisu, blueberry moose, and black forest cakes for various occasions, and they were amazing. The hong kong style cakes are more european style, light and fluffy, and not too rich like American cakes are. Love this place! read more

Yummy House Bakery made exactly the wedding cake I wanted. It was three-tiered, with a simple ribbon decoration on each layer, and SUPER delicious. We got fresh strawberry, black forest, and mango mousse. It was hard to pick a favorite flavor. read more

Yummy House Bakery - yummy cake! - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The staff are so polite and very helpful. We got the green tea mousse cake. The flavor was very understated. If the cake has a little more green tea flavor it would've been amazing. It just didn't taste like much of anything. Next time we will choose something fruity and see if it is more tasty. read more

Great little bakery smack dab in the middle of the ID. I called them to order a mango cake for a special occasion, and was really satisfied with the whole experience. The person answering the phone was really clear and easy to talk to (which can be tricky sometimes when ordering from places in the ID), and they had the whole thing ready by the next day. The cake was delicious and beautiful, and I'll definitely be back for either individual pastries/desserts or for the next time I want to order something special! read more

Get your Egg Tarts! Yummy for sure. Will definitely be back next time I'm in China Town. My go to spot for traditional Chinese Breads!

I stop by this place every time I visit Seattle. Their pastries are amazing and their cakes are exceptional. I ALWAYS order a cake to bring back to family in Portland. This time I ordered a durian cake for my birthday. Their 6inch is $27 and their 8inch was $40. I went al out and got the 8inch. Portland bakeries sell them for $35 so it's really not much of a price difference. read more

I got here in the morning as they flipped their open sign about 8:30. Problem was they had no buns yet. I would've gotten a cup of coffee but I wanted to pay everything on my card at once. They finally put the sweet pork buns out about half hour later when at the beginning I asked when the coconut creme buns would be ready. I got a call that I had to leave soon so I ordered a vanilla latte and gathered up 2 swb with my tongs onto my tray. I told her to also ring up for 2 ccb. By the time I turned around she had a brown bag of sweet pork and another with the coconut creme. You betcha I was a happy girl going out the door. It made the rest of my morning all the better. You could say I'm a die hard fan here. I hated waiting extra long. They probably had the coconut creme ready in the back because those had to be wrapped in plastic before they serve it. But I think the lady forgot I was waiting for them and didn't prioritize them preparing it first. I don't think it was proper to make me wait that long. Anyhow, my vanilla latte was very acceptable and my buns were worth the agony. They were just the best things ever. This is my Asian version of I'm lovin it! I deserved the break today from the sausage egg McGriddle. read more

Yummy yummy, in my tummy... I salivate just thinking of the mixed fruit cake. I've had the same cake from various other Asian bakeries/stores/marts/etc but nothing compares to the Yummy House version. I hope this place never goes away, so I can continue to spend too much money on too much cake. read more

I wanted a snack as we waited for Harbor City dim sum. We got a red bean bun with the pineapple topping. The bread was large, but more expensive than back in San Francisco. It was $1.20. The taste and flavor wasn't bad. read more

Hands down the best dessert bakery in the ID. Friendly service, BEST prices and portion sizes are just perfect. Pick a few, open up some bubbly and you've got yourself a party! Major pro- Spend $5 or more and get a Large Bubble Tea for only $1.99! Recommend - Egg tart, fresh strawbettery cake, fresh cream fruit tart, custard cream puff, and lemon roll. So fresh and light! read more

During childhood years, looking through the display case of some local bakeries brought a feeling of drooling charm. Yummy House cakes bring back that feeling. The Goodies: * The Mango & Fresh Fruit (kiwi, melon, strawberry) cakes are outstanding and highly recommended. I have eaten several throughout the years; and the fruit has always been fresh and the cake has always been moist, light, and fluffy. I have tried fruit cakes at other Asian bakeries, and Yummy House is definitely top. * The Fruit Custard Tarts & Fruit Cream Tarts (I don't recall the official name) are very tasty, and make the perfect sized desserts after a Chinese food dinner. * The Sponge Cakes are super light and fluffy, and perfect for those who don't like desserts too sweet. The Service: * The service has always been professional and friendly. * I have made cake orders over the phone, and the cakes were made perfectly. The Setting: * There are a few tables to kick back at. * Parking can be tough in China-town. If the parking-spot-fishing is tough, I'd just park at Uwajimaya (there's something I would want to purchase anyways). Over the past few years I've tasted consistently top quality belly bulgers from Yummy House. For Yummy House cakes I'd turn down Krispy Kreme, traditional cakes, and even those butter-dripping elephant ears that those over-priced fairs. The dessert porn at Yummy House is good; and it won't have you feeling dirty & guilty afterwards. read more

Mmmmm...if I knew how to make their mexican buns, I would probably eat myself right into a diabetic coma. I even have a song for these buns...yeah, I'm that kinda fatty. I recommend the mexican buns and the sweet red bean buns. read more

4 1/2 stars for this bakery! I ordered a cake here for my aunt's birthday in the morning and picked it up at 2:00. It was a little hard to order over the phone in English so if you can speak Cantonese, it would probably be better to order that way. I usually order my cakes from A Piece of Cake down the street or Mimi's Bakery in Beacon Hill. I would say Yummy House is definitely better than A Piece of Cake and about on the same level as Mimi's Bakery. This place is my friend's favorite and she got a cake here for her birthday which I thought was pretty good so I decided to give them another try. I was having a hard time deciding between the mixed fruit filling or the strawberry filling since I heard both were really good, but decided to go with the mixed fruit. The decorations on the cake were really nice. They put a bunch of fruit on the top and a piece of chocolate that says happy birthday. My family really liked the cake because it wasn't too sweet. While I was picking up my cake, the pastries there looked so good that I decided to try some. I got a pastry with chicken and mushroom filling and one with ham and corn filling. They were both really good and only cost $1.50 each! The 8" cake I got cost about $25, which is not super cheap, but I think it's about average compared to other bakeries. There was about 10 people at the party eating it and it was completely eaten, so it wasn't that big of a cake. I still like getting my durian cakes from Mimi's Bakery, but I would definitely try this bakery again and get the cake with strawberry filling next time! read more

Amazing taste and variety of cakes. It was open on Christmas day and we enjoyed the cakes

Bad attitude of the employees. However, suitable price for pastries and convenient location.

I went here during the Lunar New Years festival for (which I directed the marketing campaign and promotions and outreach for) and I had the best cake ever. I had a pink mousse cake with a bubbletea with boba. Despite the craziness of the line and how busy the staff were, they were exceptionally efficient and had top notch customer service. I would definitely recommend returning here, if not for the bubbletea, then at least try the cakes. read more

Okay, I'm from NYC and maybe I'm a little biased, but the time it took to make a bubble tea was just unacceptable. Almost at 6 minutes for 1 bubble tea. Lady is nice, place seems nice and relaxing, but my entire service was slow. The egg tart was alright. Not flakey enough for me, and was slightly cold by the time I got to eat it, which automatically downgrades any egg tart. read more

This place is so dangerous for my ever-expanding bottom. I've eaten their pastries from the kiosk in Uwajimaya but today I stopped in the store for the first time. Everything is so white, fluffy, and creamy. This is not a "rustic" type bakery. I love love the cream horns. Today I stopped in for a cream horn but the lady must have misheard me and gave me a cream bun instead. I didn't notice until I got to the car and opened the bag. My GOD. It's a coconut cream bun the size of your head. Like a good little piggy I ate the whole thing. Now I have to come with an excuse for my girlfriend about why I'm not starving for dinner. The counter people were very nice and I got a good look at a couple of cakes that were being purchased and they looked delish. I'm sure they use copious amounts of butter and/or crisco and white flour to make their treats so that's why they are so white and fluffy. My only saving grace is that they aren't really very convenient for me so it's a rare treat. read more

I use Pineapple Buns to be the base for judging Chinese bakeries, since it's the most basic bun they can make. Theirs weren't that great. It's pretty plain, not sweet enough, and the texture was too doughie, like it needed to be in the oven longer. Their BBQ Pork Bun was dry and not much meat. Service was good though, the lady was super nice. read more
