Oh I wish I came here sooner. I heard of this place for years but never got around to coming, and I've really missed out. The cakes were so light and fluffy and not too sweet. The dough part of the Ube donut was so chewy and pillowy, and they didn't skimp on the filling. I will have to come back and try more of their offerings very soon. The lady who took my order was very kind and prompt. 3% charge for credit card but none for debit. read more

The best turon in Seattle hands down! There are so many delectable treats to be had-- from the traditional morning donuts to Filipino o bakery staples like Pandesal, Spanish bread, ensaymada, empanada, hopia. But the one I keep coming back to, the one no other places comes close with is their Turon. I wish I had a photo, but nothing compares to the explosive fresh flavors of ripe plantain bananas, ripe jackfruit, brown Sugar on crunchy lumpia wrapper. The best there is in Seattle! And the kindest nicest warmest service! Delite, please do not ever ever go away! read more

Honestly such a staple Filipino bakery, I remember going here so many times when I was a lil kid and it brings back so much memories when I come down here. The ambiance is the same as always just some good old bakery place and the selections of everything I mean you can never go wrong with any of them so the food is really good in my opinion, I always look for their "taho" since it's such a classic dessert as a kid and I mean the service is pretty quick too, just them them what you want and boom ur ready to pay for everything. read more

Despi Delite Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

While heading out to Lake View Cemetery my friend wanted to stop by this little mom & pop bakery called - Despi Delite Bakery. What can I say about Despi Delite Bakery? Nice little bakery featuring some traditional Filipino baked goods, as well as traditional Americanized baked goods, & beautifully decorated cakes. So what kine bakery grindz did we pick up? We picked two boxes of Siopao, one filled with chicken, and the other filled with pork. What is a "Siopao"? It's basically the Filipino version of a manapua. Only difference is the filling also has like an egg yolk mixture, mixed with the meats. Very tasty, not too much different from da local style Chinese manapua. We also picked up some rolls, chocolate glazed donuts, and a (custard) Leche Flan. Service here was on point, as the single clerk managing the ordering counter was friendly and efficient. There was quite a bit of foot traffic in this bakery, so it was nice to see a small neighborhood bakery doing well. The next time I'm in Seattle again (if I'm in the neighborhood), garans I'll stop by Despi Delite Bakery to try more of their bakery selections. read more

Really nice selection of bakery! I wish perhaps they had a few more dairy free options but that's hard to do with a lot of these. The cakes looked particularly good! The lady behind the counter was polite and very efficient. It was quite empty but we were there around 4 on a Tuesday so not exactly busy time. For ambiance there's not really anywhere to sit so it's grab and go! The street parking is a little competitive too. read more

Our first visit and I asked if they had any dairy free items (my daughter has a strong dairy allergy). She picked two items from the vegan options we were shown. She ate 1/2 of the vegan maple bar about five minutes after we left. As soon as she stopped eating she started complaining of a sore throat which is usually the beginning of an allergic reaction. By 15 min later she had a full blown response, and I thought I was going to have to use her EpiPen, which hasn't ever happened. I did call and let the bakery know. This is unacceptable. My daughter not only doesn't want the other vegan donut we got, she will remember this and question any place that offers vegan items. read more

the spanish rolls didnt have anything inside. i was expecting " a real spanish bread" why is there no filling? i shouldve just bought pandesal . ‍ read more

My family frequented this bakery growing up and not much has changed in terms of quality. They are still serving up large pastries as early as 730am, and their cakes are pretty good too! I will say sometimes the cashiers take their own tip when giving you your change back so you may want to watch for that. Our favorites: glazed twist, chocolate hole, maple/bacon, and pizza croissant. read more

Growing up most of the kids I knew got their birthday cake from Borracchini's. Then Delite Bakery moved into Beacon Hill then we all started getting our cake there. Our fam usually orders the ube sheet cake for special occasions. Their Pan de Sal is pretty good too. You can also find their products at Uwajimaya and Seafood City as well. It's pretty easy to get here. You can catch the light rail to Beacon Hill or the 36 bus. read more

I've called 4x, all during business hours on consecutive days. Phone goes directly to voicemail and it doesn't even accept any more voicemails because it's full. They only take calls for sheet cake orders, no emails. I DM'd their Instagram account and addressed the issue with voicemail messages and tried calling the IG account, no answer. She wrote back saying she would have an associate call me back. I gave my name and phone number. I never got a call or even a voicemail. read more

I order cakes several times a year for office celebrations. The cakes are always outstanding! Try the Ube! It is amazing.

Went there to purchase a birthday cake and we are very disappointed in the quality. The cake was no fresh, it tasted like it was a day old, it was pulled from the fridge in the front. None of the items had prices listed so we had to ask how much is this or that and even the emp!oyees were confused and did not know the prices, we were told it was $4 for a cream puff but was charged $4.75, everything was overpriced and not fresh like before, we will not return and please list the prices on your items so honest people dont get ripped off. read more

No tables to eat at but there's a large variety of Filipino goods to choose from. Got their Uber bread for about $4 and a pork siopao. Both were really good. Ube bread was like a Hawaiian roll with sweet potato and siopao was freshly made and steamed. read more

My favorite spot for sheet cakes and donuts! I've ordered here for years, the sheet cakes are wonderful, favorite flavor combo is ube with coconut filling, they use a light whip cream frosting. It's always a hit at all parties we host, I sometimes buy a quarter sheet just to enjoy when there's no birthdays happening haha. Their donuts are so yummy, love the maple bars, the dough itself is super soft and very fluffy. Easy to eat a ton, so be careful. Only thing I wouldn't recommend is their individual sliced cake. Me and my friend just got the ube slice and coffee slice, they're rectangular, but the frosting was very very stiff, crumbled, and had a fake butter flavor/texture. They were nice about it and refunded the cake slices. But heads up, the individual slices DO NOT taste like the sheet cake. Not the same frosting. Besides that, high recommend their cakes and donuts and fresh breads!! read more

Despi Delite Bakery - Fluffy maple bar donut - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The shop is brightly lit, their baked goods are very fresh, we got the Taho (tofu and tapioca drink), Ube ginatan, puto (mochi bites), turon (banana and jackfruit fritter) and Ube donuts. They are all yummy. The lady behind the counter who served us was quick and sociable. Will come back here for more! read more

Tried even more items from here and they are ALL INCREDIBLE. And so authentic. The owner is such a sweetheart :) Empanadas, Turon, and Ube Rolls were all incredible, and it's super fresh if you get them straight from the bakery. $11 for all the aforementioned! read more

My mentor recommended this spot. He aint event Filipino! Had to try this myself. AMBIANCE: Parking: Mainly street parking. We didn't have issues finding a spot. Seating: There are standing tables/counter for a few people. Feels: Beacon Hill is a grit and grind area with some old town feels but up and coming progressive efforts as well. Close to the rail station and other eateries as well. The spot itself is nice, you can't miss it. It' a pretty bright place from the lighting and windows. You're welcomed with the smell of fresh baked goods. Great for a grab and go or if you need to slow down from the hustle and bustle of the Seattle city scene. FOOD: Ube Cake (Recommend) Excellent purple presentation with sneaky wonders. Soft bread, not too sweet and the surprise was the cream on the inside. The icing game was a little too strong for me in my opinion. But overall comforting. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! Friendly, helpful, and quick with the service. TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. Great! Plenty of selections, reasonable prices, and deeeelightfully delicious. It's nothing special or must but a comforting local bite made with love. For Filipino or usual baked goods, check this place out! #FilipinoFoodMovement TIPS: * This is no hidden gem so come early! * Be sure to check out their other location: https://despidelitebakery.com/ read more

Despi Delite Bakery - Wooooo! - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I tried the mini ube bread, fried mochi ball (delicious but super chewy), crossiant, pig in the blanket and apple fritter. Nothing stood out. Tip: Grab a day-old bag if you come early if you don't mind reheating at home read more

Despi Delite Bakery - Menu/Price List - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I can't believe how many goodies we got for such a cheap price! You cannot find prices like these in Seattle! They even had Ube malasadas!!! And Ube croissants! I'm a huge fan of Ube and this place did not disappoint. We also tried the yellow bean and pork little ball pastries and they were yummy without being overly sweet! Highly recommend this place! There is a tiny parking lot right next to the building which is also super helpful. Not really any space to dine in. read more

Tried here for the first time as we wanted to get ube dessert. These mini ube bread are good snack milk bread, but nothing special as you don't taste ube. The ensaymada (Filipino cheese bread) with ube was fresh and soft! I'd get this ensaymada again, but don't expect to taste ube. It's there, but you don't taste as much. It's still good though! Service: not so friendly (although there was one lady who was sweet) Ube bread: 2/5 (It's good, but not worth the trip or my stomach space for the repeat purchase.) Ensaymada w/ ube: 3.5/5 (not enough ube nor cheese like the way I remember eating in LA, but this is a good ensaymada in the area.) Parking: plenty of parking No sit down places though. read more

A delightful bakery!! :D I'd get there in the morning to take advantage of all of their offerings. Besides for the pictured bread and donut, we also got an ube cookie and a guava pastry. Everything is delicious! Guava could have had more filling and was only filled on one side. Donut and cookie though were absolutely delicious. They had an interesting looking purple drink(also ube??) that I want to try next time . No line when we went, and they'll take cash or card. Also nowhere to sit but we were on our way to lunch so that wasn't a problem. Very nice and helpful staff! read more

Best ube sheet cake in Seattle! Call at least a couple of days in advance to place your order. If you want to do half ube and half pandan, you'll need to order at least a half sheet with a $5 surcharge. It was $66 as of August 2023. Quarter sheet was $45 as of April 2024. The recommended filling is coconut amongst a number of other options. The cake is always a hit at parties and even for non-Filipinos who may not know what ube is. Besides sheet cakes, they also have a variety of other pastries lined up in the bakery. Check it out if you're in the north Beacon Hill neighborhood. read more

I was super excited to try this place. The staff were super friendly, and the baked goods were all delightful. The ube malasada and loaf were both super fresh and perfectly flavored. Everything was very affordable. I was however hoping for more ube paste versus ube cream, but it was good regardless. read more

This is more of a 3.5 stars: This was near lunch so i wanted to check it out. they have a lot of interesting things that I wanted to try but opted to just get 2 things: Ube crossant ---- this almost look like a cinamon roll shape. It taste like a crossant with a very subtle hint of ube, but it was ok. Very big though. Doughsant --- i like this one a lot, they are comparable to the legendary donuts doughsant, and their flavoring is good as well. They have normal crossants as well but they were gigantic! bigger than the size of your head! I think I would want to come back to try other things before updating my review as the two items i got was just ok. Maybe I should try more of their filipino dessert since that is waht they are known for next time. read more

There aren't a lot of donut shops along Beacon Hill and I was happy to find this little gem during a Google search to fulfill my sudden donut craving. It's fairly easy to get to and isn't super busy when I visit. Just be careful that you don't drive past it, it's very easy to miss. They have a wide selection to donuts and pastries. I usually get a 1/2 dozen, one donut to eat in the car and then the rest for my family. Donuts are yummy and they're huge, I usually split mine in half when I get home. Apple fritters are delicious and they have good glazed donuts and maple bars. Only con would be they are a bit pricey. Recommend! 4/5 read more

This is one of my favorite dessert places! This place is also Filipino owned which I love knowing in supporting a poc buisness! I haven't had the opportunity to try their pastries and other delights but the chocolate cake is just so heavenly! The cake is so soft and moist, layered with a sweet jelly filling yall it is soo good oh my goodness. The whip cream I know can look a little too much but it's not too sweet whatsoever, it's very fluffy and compliments the cake! I'll be back to try other things inshallah! read more

I always love UBE. Literally anything with Ube in it or on it! My coworker told me about this spot that they sell many variety of Ube cake and etc. I tried their Ube sponge cake, mini cake, cheesecake, and roll cake. All of them tasted delicious. My fav one of the Ube cheesecake. The filling and the flavor are rich with ube taste! Prices are fair, and decent portion as well. I would recommend people who are Ube lover to come to this spot and give it a try! They sells more than just ube. Many other of other bakery items as well, if you're not into ube. read more

One can blindfold and take me here and I'll still be able to tell that it's a Filipino bakery, it's an ube paradise with many choices slapping with that specific purple coloring that you tell it's ube. Granted, we went in 15 minutes before closing so most things were clean off the shelf. Got an ube cheesecake, it was fire! Would like to come back during the day when there's more things in stock. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more

Everyone always kind, everything tasty - but LISTEN. Their chicken SANDWICHES are INSANE. You gotta go early - these gems sell out quickly for a reason. Sweet, savory chicken salad on a soft Pan De Sal roll.....it's just special. I like to throw on some shredded lettuce if I've got some on hand. SO GOOD. Incredibly priced as well. read more

We had an All Hands cleanup at the Mount Baker station a month ago and I arrived at the bakery at 730am on a Saturday right before they opened. I could see through the window that everything was fresh and in order. When they opened I told them my budget for the event and they put several boxes of delicious donuts and pastries into about 4 big boxes for me. I was on time for the event (even early) and everyone was so happy that I had purchased the donuts from Delite Bakery. If you've always wondered about this place, go in and buy some donuts! YUM!!! read more

Had not heard of this place until National Donuts Day. My co-workers wanted doughnuts - I volunteered to go and everyone suggested Despi. They have a variety of standard and non standard options. My favorite was the chocolate cronut and the blueberry fritter. Normally when I take doughnuts to work there are leftovers. This time not a single crumb was left. I have dropped by a few times since then for a tasty treat. read more

What a great bakery. Amazing pastries, especially the cronuts. Fluffy like a donut, but lite like a croissant.

Ube = uBAE. Every product I've had from Despi Delite Bakery I've loved! They have awesome pastries, breads and desserts. Their shop is located on Beacon Hill, but you can find their products at Uwajimaya. I've had their ube bread, which is fantastic! It doesn't matter how many days pass by, the bread is somehow still very soft, with a lot of gooey ube flavor. It's definitely one to pick up in the bakery section at Uwajimaya if you can't get to their shop in Seattle. For my birthday, my boyfriend surprised me with an ube cake, which was amazing! For all ube fans, this is a cake that you will want to try. The cake itself was very soft, like a sponge cake. It was very moist and was covered in ube icing with cream inside. Very bad for your health, but very good, all in the same token! My best friend lives walking distance to this shop, so will definitely have to check out this Beacon Hill location when I'm in the area next. You can't go wrong with Filipino desserts! Not like I'm biased or anything.. read more

Fry-day Donuts. Specifically, old fashioned donuts. A drive around Lake Washington collecting donuts seemed like a good idea at 5am. But here we are. Seven donuts for two people is... a lot (we actually bought fourteen bc I don't like old fashioneds) and we had to make way more than seven stops bc everyone apparently thought today would be a good day for an old fashioned donut as well. Result: We couldn't agree on which is the best: me = CloudBreak or Dona Queen, spouse = Countryside or Despi Delite. But we did agree that Despi Delite and Dona Queen are solid choices. ((This checks with the donut party we threw a few years back but in that taste-testing we did not stick to a specific kind of donut. So it wasn't a true apples-to-apples comparison.)) read more

Despi Delite Bakery - Old Fashion Donut - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Despi Delite is a long term local Filipino bakery. They sell locally to Asian grocery stores and have this physical storefront. I'm more familiar with the breads they offer at grocery stores, so visiting the store was a treat. These items are not typically found in grocery stores but can be found at this location. 1. Filipino banana fritter called Turon One of the best we've had. It's almost like an egg roll. Looks like an eggroll with a sugary coating on the outside. 2. Cascaron (Carioca) -- Bitsu-Bitsu (Fried rice dough balls) Sometimes these are found at street fairs or in the deli area at Uwajimaya. The quality of those is inconsistent. Some are great; some not so good, even a bit flat. The ones here are great, perfect round balls with the right touch of crunch and a light sweetness. 3. Ube cheesecake Good, not great. Didn't have a strong ube flavor. More like a normal cheesecake. 4. Ube cake with ube cream and a touch of coconut I like this better than ube cheesecake but also doesn't have much ube flavor. Might be better to say it's a good non-ube flavor cake. read more

I am always on a look out for a good go to bakery, came to give this one a try. So we reached at this bakery 30min prior to their closing time. They have their own parking space. Their was not much on the display, I guess they were already packing things up. We were helped by a sweet lady. We ordered their:- Ube cake slice- Looked appetizing, had shreds of ube in the cream. Did not taste like Ube though. Mocha cake slice- Nice soft cake. Ok flavor Vanilla pineapple slice- OMG this was the star item. Do order it. Soft cake with pieces of pineapple. Yum Ube bread- Umm, what is this? One bite & thats it. It was that bad. Overall, I was looking forward to try the Ube donut which was not in sight. And the journey to find a good bakery continues hehe read more

I've had a lot of donuts in my life and these are some of my favorite. They are light and airy, consistently fresh, and lightly sweetened. My personal favorites are the round donuts with granulated sugar and the glazed twists, but I've tried others and never had one I disliked. If you're going on a Saturday, make sure to go early in the day so there's enough variety left to pick from! They're closed on Sunday's so I think they keep their inventory lower so that less goes to waste. read more

Wow. Just absolutely fantastic - there's a good reason why they've been around for awhile. The ube cheesecake is not just a hyped up instagrammable thing, but probably one of the best cheesecakes in general I've ever had (and I'm from the East Coast, been around NYC, Philly, etc). Perfectly creamy, perfect texture and sweetness, and perfect contrast from the darkened graham cracker crust. The other addictive item is the ube bread, which comes in small pieces in a set of 8 in a bag. I was expecting more of an ube paste inside your typical Asian pastry, but man this was chewy, texture heaven. The ube interior is not a paste as much as ube mixed with the dough and lending not just a wonderful color but an addictive texture that that is a cross between biting into a potato and a bouncy, chewy and eggy Asian pastry bread. The simplicity but masterful texture really blew me away. Also had the garlic peanuts, chicken (salad) sandwich, mochi balls on a skewer, and another ube pastry with cream and coconut flakes on top. They were also decent, but the cheesecake and ube bread stole the show. read more

You can't go wrong with this place. The ube cheesecake was amazing! I also had the ube cookie which was great and the legendary ube bread. Out of the three, my least favorite was the bread which was surprising from the reviews. It was a little too artificial and play-doh feeling for me. read more
