Cake House has been my go-to Chinese bakery in Seattle these past few years, especially within the CID. They've been around for a while now and are always friendly to serve you. I typically come during the afternoon, a lot of the good stuff usually gets snatched by then. I usually get the hot dog buns which are decent here, but most of the buns are good. Make sure to bring cash, there's a few atms in the area. read more

Small little bake shop. The pastries dont look that great, but the flavor is good, at least for the pork bun. Staff is friendly and cheerful. Very informative of their store history read more

Nice looking cases with wide variety of pastries at the and of the day. Prices included tax and seemed reasonable. Cash only. Service was very friendly. She commented that the pastry would taste like fresh if we popped it into an air fryer. We ate some walking around and found it a bit stale. However I had a coconut bun at home after a few seconds in the microwave and it was good. read more

There's a scarcity of good Asian bakeries in Seattle, so glad that Cakehouse exists to fulfill my nostalgia for baked Asian goods. The staff here is nice and accommodating - I only gave them maybe 2-3 day notice to make a birthday cake and they pulled through. The red lettering and taste is also very close to the cakes my parents would buy for our family's birthdays but better. read more

My daughter always loves the fruit and whipped cream cakes growing up. Decided to get one for her this year and it was pretty costly. $48 for a regular round cake. It was ok but didn't taste like they used to. I probably won't get one again due to the price. read more

Best bakery for Cantonese breads in Seattle. The breads were fresh and fluffy. I also buy them to bring home with me

Cake House is a classic Chinese bakery in the ID and I have been going here for years. They make a lot of standard Chinese fruit cakes, but my favorite is the napoleon cake with puff pastry in it (which I order annually for my birthday). The cake is only good day of before the puff pastry gets soggy, but it's the perfect balance of light cake, fruit, and flaky/slightly crunchy puff pastry! I've seen the cake sold by the slice on occasion, but always make sure to order ahead to ensure I get my cake for my birthday. read more

My friend and I stopped by here for a snack as we were in the area. We ordered some egg tarts, a red bean bun & a hot dog bun. Everything was affordable, but it is cash only! I enjoyed the red bean bun a lot. It wasn't fluffy and not too sweet. My friend enjoyed the hot dog bun. We tried the egg tart as is and it was good. When also tried it warmed up, and it was better. I would definitely recommend and come back when in the area! read more

Treats were nothing special, I've had Korean pastries before, these were fine, price is decent $3.50 for a bun. Cash only. Hawaiian bread with sugar on top is a short way of describing these, some with cream. Flavor 3/5 Cleanliness 2/5 Service 2/5 read more

Cash only at this cozy family bakery! Their pastries are amazing and delicious. I especially love the ham and cheese bun and buttercream cake (creamy, familiar flavor). I'll be back for those curry beef pastry and pork roll because I was drooling at those through the case. Love that this Chinese bakery has been here for 30-some years, I hope they stay open forever! read more

Small hole in the wall bakery for Cantonese style breads and pastries. Service is friendly, and prices are slightly high, but not too high. The breads all look and smell fresh, and the fruit tarts glisten. The gai mei bao (coconut bun) was delicious and tastes like the ones in Hong Kong. The hot dog bun was good as well. The tiger skin roll was a little too tough for me. Next time I'm definitely trying the chicken hand pies. read more

Custom ordered a 8" durian cake from Cake House. The lady helping us was very nice and explained exactly how they would make it to set expectations. It's like a traditional Asian fruit cake, but they whip the mousse with frozen durian. The durian taste isn't very overpowering, but you definitely taste it. They were able to make it within a day. read more

I came across this place, while wanting cake to celebrate me and my s/o's anniversary! Many of the shops in Chinatown were closed, but we walked in and an Uncle greeted us and was super kind and helpful! We placed an order to pick it up - 2 days later! When we picked up our cake, it was only $27 and it was AN ALL FRUIT CAKE! Btw, this place only takes cash!! But, we gave the uncle - $40, since it seemed like he wasn't doing well in business during this time. The uncle was super sweet and gave us some more sweets as a freebie! But, lemme talk about the cake real fast. It is super moist and sponge, and the perfectly amount of sweetness for an asian sweet tooth! The cake texture is super soft and I got a bite of fruit each time, I took a piece! The whipped cream is okay tbh, but overall, the cake was super good! You can definitely tell the uncle loves what he does! So, please go support him and his business! read more

Pastry very limited selection, served not well, bought custard cakes that were not good, no flavor, very bland. Will not go there again

small bakery in chinatown but they have good options! i definitely recommend the coconut buns they are so so delicious especially if they've just come out of the oven,, super soft and moist :) and make sure to bring cash bc they are cash only!!! read more

I got a Hot Dog Roll and Small slice of Butter Cake. The Owner was not at the counter when I walked in. He was in the kitchen. His Chinese friend called him. He disappeared after I got my pastries. So customer service might be lacking but the Prices are so reasonable. He sells drip coffee too. There isn't much variety as 85 Deg. But 85 is often closed. They did not bother to open during this Snow storm. The icing is less sweet than Amer. Cakes. Costco Cake was the worst when I had to it for Company Bday parties. Cake House is boarded up, but open every day. read more

I don't know abt everybody else but I had a bday party nearby and didnt have a bday cake and found this place, the cake was 38$ and tasted like alchohol, I wouldn't recommend, I honestly think it would taste this bad cause it was last minute but me and my family ended up leaving the cake back at the restaurant cause none of the kids wanted it and the cake was sizzling in our mouths read more

Been coming here for ~20 years or however long they've been open. Same dude since I was a kid. Great egg tarts and fruit boats. Glad I can take my kids here and let them enjoy it also. read more

I will start off by saying that I am truly spoiled when it comes to Chinese pastries and bakeries as a Vancouverite so when I visit Chinese bakeries in other cities, I'm definitely a tough critic. This place is in the heart of Chinatown and they have a wide selection of Chinese pastries and cakes. They had your typical bbq pork bun, coconut bun, sponge cake, Swiss rolls, and beef curry buns. Like most American portions, their items were big! Much bigger than what I'm used to at home. I needed something quick and something that would survive my train ride back to Vancouver so I opted for a bbq pork bun and a sponge cake. The two items came to $8.35 USD and that price hurt because that is significantly more expensive than what I'd pay at home for these two items despite these two items being bigger than what I'd get at home. The sponge cake was decent, a little dryer than what I'm used to and not as flavorful but in a pinch, this would do. The bbq pork bun was salty but the bbq pork was tender. I felt a bit ripped off with the filling since there wasn't much in there so it was more bun than anything. Service was quick and it looks like your typical no frills Chinese bakery with an unassuming store front. And like your typical Asian business, they take cash only. read more

My husband just came back from Seattle with the yummies from Cake House today! We got 3 coconut buns, 2 egg tarts, 3 sponge cakes, and 4 bbq pork buns. They're so good! Reminds me of the bakery's I used to frequent in Portland. The sponge cakes I think are great not sweet at all and perfect for my daughter (no sugar high needed for the kids, lol). I forgot to request the cream buns so boo to me on that! It's okay though I'm going to manifest moving to the Seattle area so I can go pick out ALL the things I want foodie hoarder style . Good prices and nice employees that are super kind and helpful. read more

The cake was delicious, just as not traditional Chinese cakes are! Cake was fluffy, whip cream was not overly sweet. This fruit cake had a mixture of mostly cantaloupe and strawberry in the inside. You can never go wrong. The rating is because of presentation and price: As you can see from the picture, the design was not too flattering. No special piping or flowers. No intricate laying of the fruit. "Happy Birthday" was a bit sloppy. We bought the cakes at around 10 AM and thought there would be more variety. The store was lacking for it being that early. In addition, these cakes that fed less then 20 people was $60! Too expensive but we didn't have much time. I ended up accepting with the price because it came from a local bakery owned by a cute old Chinese couple ‍ I think I'll just start making my own cakes if these Chinese cakes are getting that high in price read more

For the record, this is the first bakery in Seattle that I visited. That was 11 years ago on a spring break trip. My thoughts then was the bakery (not sure if it was Cake House back then) were just so-so. I made my way to Mon Hei a few days later and found I liked their goods better. I decided to finally give this place a second try. The storefront has not changed. It is a small shop with a couple tables by the window. They sell standard Chinese bakery items like cakes, buns (meat and sweet), puff pastries and Swiss rolls. I picked up the egg tart ($1.20), a sweet bun ($1.20) and a chicken puff pastry pie ($1.80). For clarification purposes, the sweet bun is better known as a pineapple bun at other shops. Apparently people mistook the bun as having actual pineapple. I am guessing non-Chinese patrons. The owners must have gotten tired of having to explain this. Which creates the conundrum of having to confirm that the sweet bun is really the pineapple bun. Honestly, they should just add an a.k.a. to the description. The baked goods I tried this time were again so-so. They tasted alright, but were forgettable tasting. The egg tart texture could be better and I prefer a crispier crust. The sweet (pineapple) bun was fine, but not wow inducing. The puff pastry was fine, but had little meat filling and was mostly crust. I guess if you haven't tried Chinese baked goods before, Cake House would be an okay place to try them out. Though Mon Hei and Yummy House are better places to go. read more

CASH ONLY! Went during quarantine-times. Most pastries are around the $2 mark, which I thought was great considering they only take cash and these are prices with tax included. I got a fresh coconut bun that had just popped out of the oven and it was DELICIOUS. I also tried the red bean bun, but the bread is a bit different than the coconut one (sort of "harder" rather than soft and spongey if that makes sense), and so it was just decent and I wouldn't get it again. I also got the sponge cake, which was good as expected. I went back another time and tried the egg tarts (delicious!) and taro bun. The taro bun had a great amount of taro and was pretty good, though the coconut bun was still the main breadwinner (har har). read more

The name cake house really gives you all the information you need when walking. Small shop in Chinatown that is serving up some really good Chinese bakery items. We came by after the lunar new year celebration grabbed a box full of egg tarts, coconut buns, a Swiss roll and a couple of cakes per the request of the little dudes. It's amazing how even though we told everyone that we could only have one snack before leaving, that about seven were gone before we left! The shop is very simple with three glass containers where the baked goods are stored. The lady running this place does it as good as anyone. There are lots of treats that will not leave you wanting, including familiar items as well as ones you may not have tried. Pair it with a bubble tea from the place next-door and you've got yourself one awesome afternoon! read more

I can't even begin to describe how wonderful this place is. The staff is so incredibly sweet and everything is so reasonably priced. I stopped in to have a 6" fruit cake made for my fiancé's birthday and they were beyond friendly and accommodating. Not only are their cakes absolutely delicious but they are also significantly cheaper in comparison to similar businesses in the area. I actually checked out similar businesses prior to coming here but their exceptional customer service is what, ultimately, made me decide on ordering a cake with them. I can't possibly commend this place enough. Update: Everyone who hate the cake said it was the best cake they have ever had in their entire lives. That's a good sign. Thanks again, Cake House for being such an incredible business and for your friendly customer service. read more

I went there to get a slice of fruit cake and I get home and try it and take a bite and it taste like straight alcohol so I thought that the fruit was fermenting but then I look at other peoples reviews and it says it has liquor in it, so I'm kind of confused. It was nasty. read more

I ordered a Napoleon Cake for my dad's birthday on Wednesday. Overall, the cream was equally frosted and the cake was okay. HOWEVER, I found a string of hair when I was eating. It was stuck in between the napoleon/whipped cream with fruit layer. It is disappointing to see that I spend around $103 on a birthday cake with poorly done hygiene. I didn't complain to them in person, but I would hope that they could improvise/reinforce their hygiene. read more
