Hiroki is a cute little Japanese cake and pastry cafe in the Wallingford neighborhood. It's a quaint spot with only a few seats, but isn't usually too busy. It would be a good spot to study in or a cute date spot. We ordered the strawberry shortcake and matcha tiramisu. The strawberry shortcake was delicious. Perfectly light but not too sweet, with thick layers of fresh cream. The matcha tiramisu was just okay; it wasn't as creamy as I would've liked it and the matcha flavored tasted a bit off -- maybe not an optimal pairing with mascarpone cheese? We also ordered a chai latte, which came in a giant cup with very cute latte art. They also serve other pastries like scones, puddings, and cream puffs. I'll have to some of the other desserts and cake flavors another day. There is one single stall restroom that is very clean. There is a small parking lot outside with free parking.

The hubby was craving some Coffeeholic so I was tasked with finding dessert. I happened to stumbled upon Hiroki and I knew we had to check it out! Review Time: AMBIANCE/LOCATION: For parking, there's a small parking lot right next to the store. I would say there's like 6 or so parking spots available. The shop is small and quaint with a few tables to eat in the back. STAFF/SERVICE: The owner (I'm assuming) was working the register. She was nice and super helpful answering all my questions. FOOD: Green Tea Tiramisu - the owner said this was her most popular item and I can see why! I feel it could use smidget more matcha, but it was still light and tasty! Gateau Basque - you had me sold at butter cake! Out of the 3 cakes, my least favorite. But it was still delicious nonetheless. The other ones were just more flavorful. Sakura Cheesecake - Sooooo good! The raspberry puree + salted cherry blossom = chef's kiss. I loved this cake, but forewarning it IS a seasonal item! Honey Cheese Mango Pudding - I was really hoping to get the cheesecake form; however it was already sold out. The pudding was good, but definitely think I would have liked the cheesecake more. Orange Chocolate Chip Cookie - I can appreciate the subtle hint of orange throughout the cookie. Overall a good cookie, but nothing like "oh my gosh best cookie ever." RECOMMEND? Yes! I would definitely come back especially since they have seasonal items! The cakes were light and tasty and addicting. I couldn't put my fork down until i ate 3/4 of each cake haha

Cutest little japanese dessert shop. The matcha tiramisu had a spongecake layer instead of lady fingers and I really liked it. A very strong matcha flavor and super light and whipped cream. Super cozy inside with lots of seats.

Hiroki is located within a quaint little shack. There is parking close to the main entrance. The slices were tasty, just a bit underwhelming. I believe we ordered the mango, hojicha, and green tea cheese cake with two espresso shots. All tasty, just not as mind blowing as I would have expected. The espresso shots were a bit too bitter, I'd recommend them to make the grinds a bit courser for a more palatable taste.

Gateau Chocolate

Cute small little bakery/coffee shop with interesting pastry flavors! When I arrived at opening on a Sunday morning, the line was already almost out the door. Service is a little slow but friendly Came here for specifically for the green tea tiramisu and it did not disappoint, very creamy. The basque chocolate was also very creamy, thick, and chocolatey

Matcha tiramisu, hojicha cheesecake
Green A.

I picked up matcha tiramisu and hojicha cheesecake for my husband's birthday and was pleasantly surprised! We especially liked the hojicha cheesecake - despite being a cheesecake, it was quite light and had a strong hojicha flavor! The perfect amount of creaminess and sweetness! The matcha tiramisu could have had a stronger matcha flavor, but was also light and delightful. The service was quite friendly as well! It's a small cafe that is hard to miss but definitely worth a visit!

Franzipane - almond cake w/ black plum
Fionna L.

I really wanted to love them, but these were the most expensive and mediocre cakes I've ever had. At $8 a slice, I was hoping for something mind-blowing. Instead, I got something meh overall. - Franzipane - almond cake w/ black plum: 1.5/5: dry dense crumb, sweet plum but no depth, and an interesting caramelized top: I'd pass on this one. - Honey cheese mango: 2/5: if only it tasted as good as it looked! It was like a custard with a fair amount of gelatin, with an even and creamy texture and very subtle flavors. - Green tea tiramisu: 3.5/5: the best of the bunch. I personally still prefer more sponge to my cake but the elements were executed very well: fluffy light moist cake topped by a mousse with a very light green tea flavor. Not too sweet. These cakes were aesthetic and high quality, they just weren't to my taste. I think a lover of mousse cakes would be in heaven. They have a fine parking lot out front with cafe-like tables and chairs in their small interior.

This was really a cute spot! The dessert I had was excellent and the tea was very tasty too. There's a few small tables in back to dine in and the servers were really kind.

Mango cheesecake
Kana S.

I ordered a whole cake for my husband's birthday. We are a bit picky with cakes (we don't like icing) so I ordered this mango cheesecake. It was perfect. Good mango flavor and very light cheesecake underneath. It was delicious. The message cookie was a separate charge.

Tiramisu matcha, gateau and honey mango
Huong L.

This was one of my stop for some cakes sampling and it definitely has one of my favorite cakes. The place was small but quaint and clean. The people there are super nice and knowledgeable The guy asked me if it was my first time here and then gave me a bunch of suggestions and then even gave me a free honey mang pudding cup to try for my birthday :) I got the 2 popular cakes there: - matcha tiramisu - mousse cake like texture, soft, flavors are distinct, not too sweet - gateau -- OMG, this was really good. It was nostalgic and tasted amazing. - honey mango pudding - kinda too soft but very mango-y The price is a little high for the size but I guess the quality does compensate for it. Overall, really good bakery

Mango cheesecake
Darrion H.

Best cheesecake I've ever had hands down. Everything was almost sold out when I got there. I wanted 2 Mango but they only had one left by the time I was next to order. Did I mention the line was around the corner. Sheesh. I originally waited a good 10 minutes before trying to wait in line but more people kept showing up. Fast forward, it was love at first bite. I can't wait to go back for more. And I want to bring people. They have to try this. Game changer.

Matcha tiramisu, hojicha cheesecake
Anna C.

3.5 stars. Dropped by 3PM on a Friday and picked up matcha tiramisu and hojicha cheesecake, priced at $8 a slice. The interior was clean and staff was considerate--for the person ahead of me, he offered to keep their to-go slice in the fridge while they enjoyed their drink. The slices were beautiful to look at but I think the price point is a bit high. The matcha tiramisu was fluffy in texture and moist but the matcha flavor was light. For the hojicha cheesecake, the hojicha flavor was strong but the flavor combination with the cream cheese wasn't one I personally enjoyed. It was also quite a thick texture, even for cheesecake. Both slices were a nice level of sweetness.

Kim T.

Wow! Hiroki's cakes are so aesthetic. There are not many businesses specializing in Asian cake. I like how they sell singular slices so you can try many different flavors. I got the tiramisu and matcha cakes. Both had the perfect cake and cream ratio and sweetness was balanced. Matcha was nice and earthy and the tiramisu was rich with balanced espresso cocoa notes. It's nice the business has a parking lot so you don't have to worry about street parking. Service was standard and quick. Just one star off for the price of cakes as it can add up quickly. Overall must visit if you're looking for Japanese- inspired cakes!

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 made the mistake of ordering a banh mí because I needed lunch and saw it advertised on their chalk board tent sign outside on the sidewalk. I'm sure everything else is great, except this. I waited 5 minutes to be served a cold sandwich. When I asked if I could warm it up, they said it would be another 7 minutes. It wasn't busy, not sure why the long and specific wait. Like everything else, this was incredibly overpriced. The only disappointment was that I would rather order a banh mí from an authentic Vietnamese restaurant than a French bakery (yes, I know about the colonialism involved).

I've been hesitant to visit Sea Wolf Bakers due to their prices. $8 baguette? Oomph. Well, in early…read moreMarch I finally decided to give them a try. And now I'm a regular... Through several visits: Baguette, Large ($7.95) - Great baguette with bubbling golden exterior complete with the perfectly baked crust even after waiting 3 hours before cutting in and eating. The interior has the perfect moisture level and is delightfully soft and chewy. The taste overall has a deep developed flavor. This is a great baguette. The only problem - the price. I can find ones for half the price that are maybe 80% as good as this one. (5/5) Seasonal Biscuit ($4.50) - This biscuit definitely isn't Southern-style. It's more of a drop biscuit, combining a relatively soft and tender interior with a nice exterior crust, without any flakiness or layering. The interior is almost cake-like in texture and crumb, and is plenty moist. They add plenty of fresh black pepper inside. It's distributed very evenly, giving a peppery bite with every mouthful. Parmesan is added to the top of the biscuit before baking, giving plenty of umami and richness but only on the upper layer. (4/5) Green Vinaigrette Cafeteria Style Pizza ($6.25) - The pizza is kept under a warming lamp, so it starts getting a little dried out after I assume a couple of hours spent there. I do love the base though - it's focaccia-like giving a really crunchy dark golden brown crust underneath, which supports the toppings. The pizza slice has lots of structural integrity and doesn't flop over. There's a base of fragrant concentrated tomato paste-like flavor which is topped with a very even layer of cheese. Since it's warmed rather than freshly baked, the cheese starts congealing a bit. The cheese is peppered with parsley, garlic, and a bunch of mustard seeds, giving a special zing. The toppings go all the way to the sides of the pie, making it great for people who dislike crust. Even though it's cafeteria style pizza that's kept under heat lamps, I quite liked it. I wonder if I can get a really fresh slice if I get there right at 11AM when lunch starts. (5/5) Chocolate Croissant ($6.10) - Great lamination with a very aesthetic honeycomb pattern. Baked on the harder side, causing fantastic crispy flaky layers to flake off, but also creating a darker golden brown character that is on the verge of bitterness. Nicely buttery soft and chewy interior. Chocolate is a darker variety, probably somewhere around 70%, so it has a pleasing balanced sweetness and chocolate flavor. It's not typical baton, instead seems to be a section from a bar. Still warm and melty even through I didn't eat the croissant until ~30 minutes after purchasing. When cooled down further, some red fruity notes start appearing, so this seems to be be pretty high quality. (5/5) White Sourdough ($12.60) - Now this is a loaf of bread. Superb crust, probably 2 or 3 times as thick compared to competitors, creating a supreme crusty bite with a chew approaching a hard crunch with almost caramelized molasses notes on the bottom. The interior is moist and tender with a pleasing slight sourdough tang. It's a superb piece of craftsmanship. (5/5) Kouign Amann ($5.80) - This is another heavier bake with some acridity development on the top surface. Unlike many other bakeries where the kouign amann is basically a differently shaped croissant with sugar glaze, Sea Wolf's version feels more in line with tradition. The crumb is denser and richer, more like brioche. There's interesting black speckling inside which I believe is due to the inclusion of espresso powder given the mild coffee-like flavor. The crust is again baked hard, but it's lighter and not as flaky as the croissant. They sprinkle just a bit of salt on top of a very light caramelized sugar glaze. It's not very sweet and I didn't find it too salty unlike some other reviewers. (5/5) Plain Focaccia Slice ($4.80) - Good quality olive oil, some salt sprinkled on top to boost the flavors. Light and airy interior, but the exterior is a little wan, being more light golden brown and lacking some good crusty crisp especially on the fried bottom. Quite oily. (4/5) Sea Wolf gives out free sourdough starter, which can be requested from the cashier. Since picking it up several weeks ago, I've gone through several feed/bake cycles for making sourdough focaccia. I've visited Sea Wolf 3 or 4 times in the last month. That's a testament to how high quality their pastries and breads are. I think the only thing stopping me from visiting more is thanks to the starter I got from them fanning my baking instincts. I bake so much now that I don't have any need to buy their bread! Note: Sea Wolf charges a 3% credit card fee. This is not noted on their menu - it only appears in the POS right before paying. Kind of sketchy. Bathrooms - Single unisex room

I visited many bakeries in Seattle, and Sea Wolf was an OK stop…read more Sea Wolf has an epic patio space with tons of seating and also some indoor seating to choose from. The kitchen is open, so you can watch as all of the scrumptious pastries are made. I liked the vibe here a lot. The space is shared with a bagel shop, but there is plenty of room for everyone. Service was fine. The line moved fast, and the prices were reasonable, comparable to other bakeries in Seattle. While I enjoyed the vibe at Sea Wolf Bakers a lot, I didn't think their pastries and coffee were nearly as good as some others I tried in Seattle. The espresso shot I tried was extremely bitter and just not as smooth as it should have been. The savory croissant was ok, but it lacked any big flavors, and the texture wasn't really croissant-like. The hit cross bun was just unimpressive and not very good at all. Overall, I would probably skip Sea Wolf Bakers next time. It's ok, but there are so many other amazing bakeries too. Maybe I tried the wrong stuff?

As the…read moreother reviews indicate, there can be very long lines depending on the time of day that you get there. There really has been no rhyme or reason on when there are long or short lines, but for your sake, hope that you get a short line.

I'm a big fan of the horchata brioche donut, so that's what I recommend you try. The pastries are reasonably priced and freshly made, and if you don't like things that are too sweet they will be perfect for you. I think the only complaint I've had is the drinks the barista has made can be very hit or miss, especially once with Chai I had.

As someone coming from another cafe-focused city, this was the first place that really made me feel like I was home. Stellar food, beverages, and ambience. Only other complaint is lack of outlets for charging.

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!

The hojicha latte was rich and earthy in the best way, and it went really well with the black sesame cookie, which had a great strong sesame flavor, and the texture was perfectly chewy! The focaccia was pillowy and chewy at the same - I could've eaten five of these on their own. The frittata was my least favorite item, but by no means am I saying that it's bad! I thought the sauces overpowered it a bit, and the frittata itself was a bit bland - I couldn't even tell it had sweet potato in it, but it was cooked really well.

I really was looking forward to trying a cardamom croissant or bun but they didn't have either available. My iced latte was alright. Nothing to go crazy over. The cherry foam for an additional $2.00 was very pretty but that's where it stopped at. Absolutely no cherry or sakura flavor. Disappointed. The sesame cookie had a great smell to it. The aroma of sesame was strong. The cookie had a nice crisp to the edge and a chewy center. The sesame taste wasn't as strong as the smell. The spicy chicken sandwich on special was not spicy at all. It was overwhelmingly sweet from the orange glaze/sauce on the kitchen. It was a decent sandwich and I definitely finished it. Just not something I would gravitate back to. I understand the reviews about how this place doesn't live up to some extra hype. It's decent, solid and a great option for the area but to go out of your way for and wait thirty minutes in line? Not really.
