Today I finally got to try Rosellini's Maritozzi! I knew they have it on random weekends but I…read morenever went in early enough to get one myself until today. They offered the item on both days this weekend and again I missed it on Saturday. I asked the front person what time I should get to the bakery in order not to miss it, and she recommended that I come in right at the opening. She said they ran out of it some time past 11am on Saturday, so it seems like they don't necessarily go flying off the counter immediately. Although I was curious, I still wasn't sure if I'd make it in time for opening at 8am the next day. But I was housesitting nearby and the dog woke me up at 6:30 begging to go on a walk. Not wanting to waste the fact that I woke up early on a Sunday, I decided to not go back to bed but head to the bakery at 8am. I arrived like 2-3 minutes before opening and was surprised to see there were already more than ten people lined up at the bakery. Having worked a retail job, my coworkers and I get annoyed when people start lining up before opening, so I tried my best to arrive right on time. But the line was a bit much. Anyways, I respect that everyone working at the bakery doesn't seem one bit offended by the crowd and are so nice to the customers. Consequently, I'm glad I went for the Maritozzi. It was really good. But if it's this difficult to get one then I probably won't go for it again.

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! One of the best bakeries I've been to in Seattle so far.

I actually like this bakery, its why I called them for a cake. The person I spoke with on the phone…read morewas in general feedback adverse. I suggested that it would be helpful to put their leadtime for the cakes somewhere--either on yelp or on their website.

It was a bit confusing as they aren't only pastries and they had a different name out front (I think it was Traditional Japanese Cuisine or similar). The server was very friendly and polite taking my order and they had it ready quite quickly. I tried to order on the app at first but it would say they were out of things that they weren't out of when I ordered with the server. I liked my sushi and matcha cheesecake (not pictured because I ate it too fast) and also the genmaicha! They don't have any alternative milk for the tea lattes though so keep that in mind if you're needing a nondairy option.

The pecan filling was baked to perfection: rich, gooey, and balanced without being overly sweet. I loved it so much that I'm already going back to buy an entire pie. Seriously, don't sleep on this place!

You can always taste each component of the cake and they always work so well together. Plus they are decorated so cutely as well. The space is super cute, not too big but has enough seating if you'd want to eat there. Street parking only.

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'm here for coffee. I did not try any pastry as I was having lunch much later…read more Coffee was good. For a single barista who also did all food orders, she was quick. Coffee is good but not a wow. Food like the croissants seems to be not fresh. They did not have the look of freshly baked considering it was around 9am.

Hiroki is a cute little cafe. I've had it bookmarked for a bit because I love a cute cafe…read more I think it's well suited as a neighborhood cafe. I got the matcha tiramisu, which is pricy and quite frankly for me wasn't really worth the cost but it's also not something I would make myself. The flavor felt rather heavy on the cheese which makes sense given the type of cake but not what I was expecting. As a dessert it wasn't too sweet and I found that between the latte and the cake, they were on similar levels. By default, the latte is hot. They do charge more for alternative milk and serving it iced which I found a bit unusual. I wasn't particularly wow-ed but it wasn't bad. Overall I wasn't overly impressed but it's a cute cafe with unique enough servings. They are also able to cater to a Japanese clientele (shout out to the staff member who could speak Japanese and made sure that the group before me got their drinks)

I was originally in the area to meet for an early dinner with some friends. On route I spotted…read moreHiroki and thought to myself ,"Hey that's been on my list of places to try for the longest time". I did what any reasonable person would and decided to grab some dessert to go for later... Anywho, as soon as I popped in I spotted the items in the display case that I've been wanting to try. The Matcha Tiramisu, and the Hojicha Cheesecake. Ready for the actual reasonable decision? I got only one of the two items. :( Yep I decided on the Matcha Tiramisu. It was a light 4 layered treat. The top layer was of this matcha cream dusted with matcha powder. Laid on top a thin soaked layer of cake on top of another layer of that matcha cream on top of an unsoaked layer of cake. Right off the bat, not too bitter or earthy. Not too sweet or dense. aesthetically pleasing. The interesting thing is that if you eat all 4 layers at the same time. The prominent flavor that comes through is the soaked layer of cake which then transitions to the Matcha. I found that I could enjoy the different dimensions by eating each layer alternately followed by all the layers at the same time. Overall quick process and enjoyed the dish. Definitely coming back for that Hojicha Cheesecake though.

If the owners are reading this Lacey deserves a raise! I'll definitely be back. It's 10/10 for the pie, but 11/10 for the service.
