    Shifted durian cake 6inch
    Lena T.

    I was in town and craved some durian cake. Yelp lead me to this bakery. This bakery looks like literally a hole in the wall. The door isn't even fancy or anything. when you walk in you're greeted with a full of cakes that are ready to purchase and some assorted baked buns. I called ahead of time to pick up a 6 inch durian cake. The guy asked me over the phone is this for anything, and my response was "I said it's for me to eat because I want some durian cake". The cake itself shifted while I held the box like a football and that was my bad. From what I recall the layer of cream in the inside was very thin and even then there wasnt that much durian in it. The outside frosting is almost like cool whip which I'm a fan of and the chocolate smear on the bottom really complimented it. The cake itself isn't moist, it's soft and spongy and really it reminded me of angel food cake texture. Overall for $39 you can consider this a personalized cake that is durian tasting. It's not bad or overly sweet, but it wasn't as pungent as I'd like it to be. But that's ok, I just pulled out some fresh durian to eat with it to make up for it.

    This is where we go when we want Hong Kong style bakery items. We especially love their pork buns and their coconut buns. Don't be fooled by the exterior which has suffered since the pandemic due to hate crimes in the neighborhood. They are still open and still YUMMY.

    Classic hong kong pastry shop They have whole cakes and cake slices ready for purchase day of, but I've also ordered customized cakes from them. The value for what you get is great, especially their breads. For more money you can get similar items from 85 degrees or tous les jours, but they're way smaller than the ones here. I thought the breads were soft and fluffy, the crunchy top on both were good too. The cake is a standard asian cake, not too sweet and light. Excited to come back and try their other items!

    Behind its boarded windows and doors, you'll find the gem that is Yummy House Bakery. This bakery has saved me more times than I can count, I am truly grateful to have stumbled upon it. I ordered a 6" durian cake around 11:35AM on a Friday and the cake was available for pickup within a little less than an hour. Not many bakeries have quick turnaround times when placing an order the same day. The cake itself is delicious-- light, fresh, and spongy. You also have the option to customize toppings and decorations + it comes w/ a free candle. You can tell they put a lot thought and effort into their craftsmanship w/ the amount of questions they ask prior. Honestly the only bakery I can trust to be consistent and precise. Will be coming back soon :-)

    I got a slice of chestnut cake as well as a pork bun and taro bun. The bread for the buns were quite dry and were skimpy on filling. The cake slice was good but could use more chestnut flavor. Ok if you have a craving but might opt for another option next time.

    Yummy House has been my go-to place so far when buying a birthday cake! This past time, I ordered a durian 6" birthday cake with white cake and white frosting for my best friend, which was around $37. It was about $15 more than a plain white cake because of the added durian. I had to order and pick up the same day to make it in time for my friend's birthday. I wasn't sure if they were able to make one that quick and was a bit worried. However, they said they could do it, and I was so thankful. Upon picking up the cake, I was so happy with how it came out, as it was so cute! They included one long candle, and we decided to add more of our own. My friend loved it! The cake itself was so fluffy and light, not too sweet. The durian was smooth and plentiful in the cake, just how we like it. I would love to come back and try their other pastries and desserts sometime soon!

    Times, they are changing, not for the better. Curse you, COVID and riots! Yummy House has been a Cantonese bakery in the Chinatown International District for many years, providing deliciousness of buns, breads, cakes, and more. Because of COVID and riots, Yummy House stands as a shadow (figuratively and in actuality) of its former self and they need your help! First, about their pastries, think pineapple buns, cocktail buns, baked pork buns, and so much more. My favorite is their paper wrapped sponge cake. I buy them from here (and from Uwajimaya back when they carried YH items). Next, cakes. Like many Asian cake shops, they specialize in light sponge cakes, with plenty of cut fruits in between, and finished with a light cream. They are never overly sweet nor heavy. You can order cakes, buy by the slice, or buy a Swiss roll. They also make items like cream horns and eclairs. But offerings may be less now, so you should call to confirm. Lastly, I am addressing current conditions. Please take a look at the other photos to see a store of vibrant lighting filled with self-serve bins to grab your own pastries with tongs. Now because of riots, the store front is darkened with the plywood still on the glass. Because of COVID, they have re-arranged the store such that only two cases are at the front, and the entire staff area is completely sealed away from the front with plastic. I asked the lady at the counter, and she expressed genuine fear of infections. Poor lady. I do feel bad for all service staff in general. (Unless I'm mistaken, I'm pretty sure she's the owner as I have seen her there many times.) Not surprising, business is suffering. I'm going to do my best to support them, and I hope you do too!

    Piroshky Piroshky is a Seattle institution. Will the line be long during peak times in peak season?…read moreYes. Will they still get you through blazing fast? Absolutely! Pro tip to tourists: they have the menu posted on the windows AND the door, complete with pictures. You'll help the line situation if you get a general idea of what you want BEFORE you step up to the counter. As for what to get? A little bit of everything. I typically get a cheddar garlic roll, smoked salmon pate, Uli's sausage, bacon egg & cheese, cinnamon cardamom, and the rhubarb if they have it. Bring the family, grab a bunch of them and then walk over to Victor Steinbrueck park to share them all and take in the view of Elliott Bay. You can't miss with any of the above - take it from a local.

    We came here because of the rave reviews but I was underwhelmed…read more First, I'm half Ukrainian, so I grew up eating piroshky made by a born-in-Ukraine grandma, but these were not authentic piroshky. Yes, I get it, the salmon is the Seattle fusion, but the style of bread is not the piroshky style at all. This was tasty but it was more like a light French pastry bread than the buttery thicker bun bread of a true piroshky. Second, the prices were ridiculous. $9.25 for a savory piroshky seems steep, especially since the salmon piroshky is just salmon mixed with cream cheese. The one thing I will give them is that even though the line was long and in the sun, they got through us pretty quickly.

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.

On this visit ordered the "go to" , blueberry ginger scone, ratatouille sandwich, turkey havarti sandwich, banana bread, and some Americanos to go.

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 around 1-2pm on a weekend and they still had a full pastry case! I always love seeing that…read morelater in the day since some other cafes are getting empty around that time. They have so many yummy options, but I settled on a mushroom and Gruyère pastry and an earl grey blueberry cruffin. The mushroom and Gruyère pastry was SO good!!! Buttery flaky layers of dough with a strong earthy mushroom flavor and savory cheese - an absolute umami bomb. We ate it the day after and threw it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes, and it was so delicious. The cruffin was huge! Topped with a delicious light Earl grey cream that wasn't too sweet. It was filled with a blueberry cream and was definitely very filling. There's a lot of sugar coating it, as is standard with cruffins, but it's a nice sweet treat. Definitely coming back for the mushroom and Gruyère pastry and to try their other delicious flavors. Their supreme croissant flavor switches often and we can't wait to try the next one!

I originally planned to just grab a coffee and a croissant, but after noticing how popular the mushroom Gruyere croissant seemed, I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. It was incredibly delicious, perfectly filling, and even better when warmed up. The staff member kindly offered to heat it for me, which really elevated the whole experience. While they serve Umbria coffee, which isn't my personal favorite, the food more than made up for it. The service was warm and friendly, and the overall vibe was welcoming. I'll definitely be back to try the mushroom croissant again or maybe explore some of their other pastries next time.

I ordered a 16oz iced oat milk mocha and loved how perfectly the chocolate was incorporated into my drink!

I love that they had different options of fruit to pick from and I chose blueberry! The pastry was perfectly flaky and I loved how fresh the blueberry tasted. My boyfriend ordered the chocolate croissant because he was excited at the idea of the chocolate being piped through the croissant and also drizzled over the top, but it turns out the dark brown parts on top are just design and not more chocolate. Still, he was pleased with the amount of chocolate in the croissant and the bite I had was heavenly. The champagne cake caught my eye as I was ordering and I just had to try a bite, it was absolutely delicious and fresh. I loved how light the cake was and the layers of flavour through the whole dessert! I love how bright and airy the cafe is!
