    My partner surprised me with 3 slices today...yes, 2 are completely gone, half of one remains. I've been home less than an hour. I ate 75 if not 80% of it alone. She picked me up the seasonal ones (except the caramel coffee since it was sold out- also how wild since they opened only a few hours ago)! I've had the banana pudding cake before and liked it a lot (still do) the chocolate malt isn't my favorite but it was still good...I just don't think the chocolate is chocolatey enough. HOWEVER, the special of the day- man, oh man, that one is a show stopper. Banana coffee and salted caramel?! Every bite was so good, moist cake, salty caramel, hints of coffee. This is better than my other favorite coffee salted caramel ricotta cake...I have a lot of favorites. But right now, this one is on top. Top 2 to Date: blackberry oreo, banana coffee caramel Deep Sea needs to stop making such amazing stuff because I'm tired of working out to be able to consume so much of their cake.

    The setup
    Ami Y.

    YUM!!! I learned about Deep Sea when I was on Instagram. The cakes looked so good that I had to go try them. I couldn't put it into action for a few months because Georgetown is far from Ballard, where I'm based, and I had no idea what the neighborhood is like. Anyways, on my birthday morning, I decided to give it a try because I had to be in a nearby area in the afternoon for another event. And it didn't disappoint! I went in thinking I want to get a cupcake and a cake slice, but the cake options looked better than the cupcakes so I ended up with two slices of cake. With coffee, it came to a hefty price of $30. I thought I wouldn't go over $30, but Seattle tax is freaking hefty so that was why. For coffee options, they only offer self served drip coffee for $4.5. I'm happy with my drip coffee, it was good, but I wish they didn't jack up the coffee price, because the cake is expensive already and you're pouring the drink yourself. I just assumed it's bottomless coffee. I bought the chocolate blackout and the carrot cake. I love it when bakeries don't put coconut flakes in the carrot cake because that's my least favorite thing. They were both great. Chocolate cake flavor is kind of monotonous so I found myself getting bored of it fairly quickly. Also, I'm not sure if I like the taste of chocolate cream cheese frosting. In my opinion, the chocolate and cheese flavors were a bit too much. Carrot cake was so, so good. They do their plain cream cheese frosting great. There is a good amount of seats indoor and I saw there are some seats right outside as well. I wonder bikers take a cake break here, because the neighborhood seemed bike friendly. Staff was nice and helpful. I brought a large Tupperware with me because I knew I won't finish it in one sitting. Initially, I asked the cakes to go and they put each slice in individual compostable boxes. I'm not a huge fan of those boxes because it can come undone easily for the cakes to fly out, and they're bulky. Fortunately, they wrapped the slices with two wax papers, so I was able to move them into the Tupperware easily. As stated earlier, I did get a little bored of the chocolate cake, but the cakes still tasted well the next day from the fridge and I was happy I got to enjoy them over a long time.

    The best cake I've had in years. I had been lamenting my cake journey in Seattle when I was recommended to check out Deep Sea Sugar & Salt and wow am I grateful I did. Wide variety of of cakes slices (something for everyone!), perfect moisture & also the perfect balance of rich in flavor but like not too sweet.

    Two slices of cake plus a cupcake ended up costing over $30ish. The ginger molasses cupcake was doable, not overwhelmingly sweet to the point where you couldn't finish it. Their cake slices are sized like two typical slices combined, so I'd recommend sharing one if you're getting a cake slice rather than a cupcake. Unless you loveeee sugarrr! That said, the ginger molasses slice cake was far too sweet for me. My partner and I both took two small bites and couldn't continue. It honestly felt like eating two big spoonfuls of brown sugar. One compliment I'll give them is that the cake is very moist. The London Fog cake wasn't too bad. It wasn't overly sweet and was fairly tolerable, with a mild hint of Earl Grey. I probably won't come back unless I'm sharing a cupcake with someone, since the cake slices are too expensive for what they are. Also, a heads-up, some of the cakes on display may look like there's only one slice left, but they actually have more in the back kitchen.

    Cookies and cream cup cake 5/5
    Dan H.

    Cakes are really flavorful with a perfectly moist crumb. The frosting tastes really good to the point that I indulged rather than scrape it off. We tried the triple chocolate, blackberry pistachio, London fog, and coffee cardamom. All of them were so unique and yummy and I'd want to try the other flavors they have. 4 large slices were about $50. Service was incredibly slow on the day we went - even though we ordered in advance for pick up, we had to wait in line and then wait for them to go in the back to get the slices which took a few minutes. 4/5 factoring every thing all together/ including price, service, and flavors.

    Lemon Birthday Cake OMG insane!!

    So once a year during November I come here for one reason and one reason only. The Hazelnut Chocolate cake, it is beyond amazing, a seasonal cake (hazelnut season) that is decadent chocolate with coffee and hazelnut that you simply cannot get enough of. We also had the London Fog (an earl grey tea cake) and a beautiful ricotta and berry olive oil cake. I love their newer place since you can actually sit to eat your cake and they also make pick up super easy (window was closed at the time but usually you can just pick up from there. Service does need to improve just because we had a pre order and for anyone to actually notice us took way too long (everything was paid we just needed the cakes to be brought to us)

    Chocolate malted milk cake

    Love trying new dessert places around Seattle! Took the bus here and it was easy to reach, even though it's far out. The cake was moist and the cream cheese frosting was amazing. One slice can be shared among multiple people, it's so big! Inside the ambiance is cozy with enough seating.

    Chocolate Blackout Cake and Strawberry Cardamom Cake slices
    Carol J.

    When I drove up and saw how busy it was I got excited. I thought, 'wow! This place must be amazing since there's a lot of people standing in line and there was a 20-minute wait to get your cake order!' The people working when I went were friendly and pleasant with the customers. Kinda dark inside, nothing to write home about, but I didn't come here for the look of the place. I raced home to dig into the cakes because I'd heard so much about the place and the reviews looked good. I was so disappointed! Let's take the chocolate first - looks wet/dense, texture was kinda sticky, flavor wasn't all that pleasant. The buttercream was good though! The next cake had a similar texture, and flavor. The buttercream, again, was delicious, but the rose colored buttercream on top rivaled eating an actual rose petal - it was that forward in flavor - so unpleasant. Won't be returning, but will head to my own kitchen instead. Their price points don't match the flavor points, IMO.

    I finally tried Deep Sea after hearing about it for so long. There's a small and tight parking lot immediately in the Deep Sea lot and then a roomy paid lot next to it. Inside has lots of seating and there's outside seating as well. They display their available cake in the window so you can see all the flavors there. At $11 to $11.50 per slice, Deep Sea made it worth it. There's many tiers to their slices/cakes so one slice is enough for 2-3 people. The cakes were moist with unique flavors but pretty forward on the cream cheese icing. Highly recommend stopping by especially if they have an interesting flavor. Also recommend coming early before they sell out of slices for the day. PS if you need a full cake, order well ahead. They were even unavailable 3 weeks before the event I needed it for.

    Lemon layered cake
    Siscily E.

    Local gem bake shop serving up delicious layered cakes with rotating options to try. Cake slices are available for sale. Each time I have been in the line is to the door as they do their best to get to everyone. You must pay for parking as spots onsite are very limited. 3 slices of cakes was about $37 with tip. The layered lemon goodness today was worth the cost & wait and we will definitely be back!

    Our mini LOVED his chocolate cupcake.
    Katrina M.

    We heard about this cake spot on IG. Everything you have heard(everything good) is true!! We had the chocolate salted caramel cake and apple spice chai cake and our mini had chocolate cupcake. The cakes were so moist and full of delicious flavor. I'm typically not a frosting person but the frosting on all of the cakes was far from better than my normal buttercream or Betty Crocker experience. This place is dessert ELEVATED!! The shop has a very cool vibe and has seating inside and outdoor. The only challenge you may have on a busy Saturday is parking. But don't worry, there are some options including a pay lot. The service was amazing! Even with a the busy weekend rush, they were all smiling and being so helpful with recommendations. Expect to pay about $11/per slice. A little pricey but I'like my baby said " it's cake heaven."

    Cupcakes.

    Delicious cupcakes and cake. Efficient counter service and open welcoming interior. I have had their slices and enjoyed many of them. Not everything is going to meet my personal tastes, i think there is something for everyone here.

    Stopped by after brunch to satisfy my sweet tooth and tried the cookies and cream cake while my boyfriend went for the s'mores cupcake. The cookies and cream cake was great! It was moist and not too sweet. I love dark chocolate cakes. I'll definitely be coming back for another slice or to try a new flavor. The s'mores cupcake was a bit dry for my taste. The shop itself is spacious with plenty of seating and a really cute, cozy interior--great for hanging out or catching up with friends. I do wish they served lattes or coffee drinks to pair with the desserts, but overall, it was a great experience. I'll definitely be back!

    How much is a slice of cake? There are no costs on the website

    It was $8.50.

    Does anyone know why they don't answer their phones? Been trying to call to place an order for a birthday cake for a week now...

    They aren't taking orders for September anymore; there's just too many.

    Do they offer cake tasting for wedding cakes?

    Yes, they do offer cake tasting for weddings and other occasions, S.B. They're all booked till Jan 1st of next year, nevertheless. Also, the kinds of cakes & flavors are all on their site. Or, just call them.

I went with the bestie on a Saturday noon right after eating at Kauai Family Restaurant literally right next door, and there were already people lining up for their pastries, through the line wasn't out the door though it was close. The inside gives the feel of a casual dine-in area for fast food with few tables for 2-4 people while the rest of the space is the kitchen and counter. Staff are up front taking orders and grabbing the stuff you ask for. Small slices of cakes are available, and notices around mention to call ahead of time if you want larger sizes of those same cakes. We both decided to share their rainbow cake, which is a three-layer strawberry, lime and orange along with guava, lime and passion fruit flavored layers on top. Not much to say about this other than despite all these sweet profiles coming together, no one flavor outshined another flavor, and overall cake wasn't too sweet, surprisingly. One slice for $7.45 before tax is oddly huge even for the two of us to finish though, so this cake is definitely not best eaten alone; it's too good for that anyway! My favorite layer was the guava layer for how sweet yet mild it was. I've come back before for birthday cakes, and now I can see myself also coming back casually for their other cakes! Really high recommend for anyone around the area!

Not a huge deal but that was a little strange to me. 4.8/5
