I go here for the green tea tiramisu cake and the hojicha latte. This is the same cake that they sell at Momiji too. The hojicha has a roasted flavor to it, which I really enjoy. The mango cake was ok, but not as good as other helpers have claimed to be I feel. The least favorite was the chocolate. It tasted like bad quality chocolate that had been of and dried up in the back of the pantry too long. read more

Great little cafe/bakery. The selection is pretty small but their mousse cake is very soft and not overwhelming sweet. They don't allow any dine in or use of toilet due to covid. read more

Overrated. Desserts were only okay. Too sweet and dense compare to traditional Japanese-styled desserts. A bit disappointed read more

Hiroki - Gateau basque and strawberry chiffon - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Oh my gosh! I love Tangletown and small restaurants and environment. It's such a nice place to come and relax and Hiroki is located there. So many delicious options to choose from (I always love getting anything chocolate or cheesecake related). Super friendly staff and clean inside. Perfect place to stop by if you have a sweet tooth or craving reasonable priced desserts. read more

Hiroki - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Everything I've ever ordered here has been excellent. Some of my favorites; coffee cake, sausage roll, blueberry scone, orange roll, honey cheese mango cake, and of course, green tea tiramisu. I probably just listed everything that's available this morning... read more

This place is a MUST if you're around Green Lake. Even if you're not. I've been here many times and have not been disappointed with anything I've ordered. The ice cream is homemade and seasonal, but it's definitely something to try if they have it. They tend to experiment with their flavors and usually have around 2 flavors at a given time. Most of the baked goods run about $5 each. I'd give Hiroki's 5 stars if it weren't so pricey. Parking is convenient. There's a lot next for Hiroki's customers next door. read more

Stopped by Hiroki out of whim after dinner with a family friend around Wallingford area. The bakery is a small cafe located in a nice, serene area and, a plus, as there's free parking dedicated to this cafe. There are also 5-6 tables to seat yourself inside/outside this cafe as well. We got to the cafe around 6:30pm and there was just a few selection of cakes left (they probably sold out on a lot f items already). We settled for the souffle cheesecake (which according to the guy there is lighter/fluffier, instead of creamy like regular cheesecake) and a strawberry chiffon cake. I really like their souffle cheesecake! It's much lighter and not as thick, sickening as the other regular cheesecakes elsewhere! :) The strawberry chiffon cake was also quite refreshing. -1 star as the cakes were a bit pricey at ~$5 each and not as much selection as I expected...but it's definitely an above average cafe, especially for those who like boutique/more sophisticated type of bakery items/cakes. read more

Update to my last year's review. Coffee and cake with a friend. FOOD: 4.5. We both had Gateau Basque. Nice moist texture and not-too-sweet. Bought a green tea tiramisu and a cassis cake for later. Both were 4.5. Cassis was tart; Green Tea cake was smooth. Cakes are Japanese-style in taste and appearance. Not-too-sweet: perfect amount. Individual slices are set in transparent packaging. COFFEE: 3.5. Americano wasn't quite as good as my last visit,, but still good. AMBIANCE: 4.0. At noon on a Friday, we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Also beaucoup private parking. read more

This is a nice little gem in tangle town. Close to Greenlake and the only Asian bakery to go to in North Seattle. This place has a very homey feel when you sit down. The staffs super nice and the owner/baker is awesome. Coffees great. I'd recon hands down the green tea tiramasu. Next best option would be the honey mango cheesecake, soufflé cheesecake and the apple pie. Keep in mind that these delicacies are Asian pastries. Hence the desserts aren't heavy but rather light. A cheesecake here isn't your typical ny cheesecake. The apple pie seems kind of dry but keeps you intrigued and interested. read more

Love this hole in the wall place that fulfills all my sweet sweet dreams of sweets. You cannot go wrong with any of the by the slice cakes. We brought one of each and they were all divine. You need to place a birthday cake order a couple of days in advance which I will remember for next time. I will try any of the new cakes that the owner dreams to invent. read more

I came for the Matcha Tiramisu, but fell in love with the Cassis Mousse Torte. The Matcha Tiramisu was delicious, but as a matcha lover, I felt it could have been stronger. The Cassis Mousse Torte totally kicked the taste buds' asses. It's incredibly light, but also tangy and sweet. I never tasted Cassis up until that point so I didn't know what to expect (truthfully I was attracted to the color), but it was wonderful. The taste reminded me a bit of Mandarin oranges and raspberries. The treats are a bit pricey, but worth it. Dangerously delicious. read more

I got matcha tiramisu, caramel pudding, and soufflé cheesecake. The pudding was not authentic smooth pudding like you get in Japan. If you have had great tasting cakes in Japan and looking for something similar, this is not the place for you. read more

I've been coming here for years, it's quite a drive from the Southside but it brings back good memories of when my husband and I use to come here as broke college kids and share desserts. I've had a big sweet tooth and really love the uniqueness of desserts. It is pricy, at about $4.50-$6.50 a slice but worth it if you're into Japanese/Hawaiian desserts. I came here today with my BFFs and we all ordered something different to share. If you love green tea, you can't go wrong with the green tea tiramisu. It's layered with a light, fluffy sponge cake and velvety smooth matcha cream. I particularly love this because it isn't overly sweet and you can really taste the tea. The combination is smooth and melts in your mouth, I wish the slice was bigger but it's because I'm fat and could probably kill a whole cake myself. 5/5, if there is one thing you need to get here: this would be it! I'm going to to through a variety of desserts I've consumed both today and on other visits and share my thoughts. Creme caramel, this is pretty much a flan. The first few bites, I wasn't sure if this was worth it but as we dug into the cup, I started to like it more. 3.5/5, not a favorite but for the price I wouldn't order this again. It's eggy and elegantly smooth but for $4.50, I would get a cake. The caramel is chilled but not thick so it creates a thin, sugary sauce. It's perfect - not burnt but an amber color. Sweet potato custard pie is a seasonal dessert. The way it was decorated made me want it, it's not your grandma's sweet potato pie. The pie is filling is dense, the dough isn't very flakey. It's slightly custardy and has hints of nutmeg and small pieces of sweet potato,3.5/5 because I thought it was almost too savory. Soufflé cheesecake: light, airy and delicious! 5/5, I really like this one because it's tart and sweet but doesn't make you feel the way you feel if you got a slice from Cheesecake Factory. The cheesecake filling is creamy but not heavy, I think it's mascarpone cheese and NOT cream cheese, makes all the difference. Cassis tart: highly recommend if you're into anything tart. It's a very unique flavor, and is presented in a mousse-like concoction similar to the tiramisu, 4/5. Coconut macadamia bread pudding: WINNER! 5/5, texture is perfect and the flavor profile is great! Macadamia nuts add a hint of nuttiness and there's a ton of shredded coconut throughout the dense bready goodness. I LOVE this one, brings me back to Hawaii! Iced green tea latte, 4/5. Better than Starbucks for sure. I would have liked more green tea powder but with a few packets of sugar in the raw, I drank it happily with my desserts. If you're looking for a dessert adventure, head over here! There's a parking lot for customers, it's a great place to satisfy a sweet tooth! read more

Hiroki - Sweet potato pie, creme caramel & green tea tiramisu. - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I want my review to be 3.5 starts. Love the location and small parking lot. Pretty easy tp find, and it is located in a nice neighborhood. The bakery is quaint and small. The coffee was perfect. The green tea tirmisu was tasty, but the $6 price tag was a bit hard to shallow. Yet, the cake was moist and the filling was super smooth and creamy. I'll be back...but will try something new. read more

When I walked in, I saw a sign that says "Best Green Tea Lattes in town" so I had to try it. I'm not a coffee drinker but my boyfriend is - so he got one too. He said its his new favorite! I liked it a lot too! He ordered the NY cheesecake which he didn't like too much. I ordered the soufflé cheesecake which I liked ... it's not heavy like most cheesecake. I also picked up some raspberry macaroons! So delicious! We got a table outside ... it's such a nice laid back spot to hang out on a nice evening ... I'll definitely be back when I feel like treating myself because it's not on the cheap side =) read more

Awesome cheesecakes. Quantity of beverages needs to be reviewed. Too small an amount for the price. Also we ordered three beverages and all of them were lukewarm. The place was busy and the one staff member did her best to manage it all. Definitely a place for a dessert and coffee. Hope to go back to hot beverages! read more

Sophisticated and refined cakes. The tiramisu green tea cake was good but had too much cream vs. cake. The cheese cakes were light and tasty. read more

Love the green tea tiramisu cake here! Layers of thin spongy cake and matcha custard. Sweet but also light and airy. Definitely give it a taste. Also recommend the houjicha latte. It's earthy, creamy, and a little nutty. read more

Had dessert and drink here on a weekday afternoon. It was located in a quite street, but quite convenient when riding with buses. I had Matcha Latte (8oz) and green tea tiramisu. Yes Ian cray about match stuffs. I had the Latte with ice, which was perfect for the hot summer afternoon. And the green tea tiramisu was amazing, making me feel relaxed and satisfied. Had a good time sitting there and enjoying these yummy foods. read more

Best desserts. Green tea tiramisu is a favorite. Mango cheesecake a close second. Love that this place is still doing takeout during Covid!! A little comfort food really helps in a time like now!!! read more

My partner loves cheesecake, and he wanted one for his birthday. Based on the Yelp reviews, I ordered a New York Cheesecake from Hiroki, and it was amazing! For an extra $3, they added a birthday message on the top of the cake which looked great. They cake itself is less dense than typical cheesecake, and it tastes great! The cake was ready when promised, and Hiroki provided a nice box for the cake. Overall, I was very pleased! read more

Wow I used to come here all the time but the quality has gone down dramatically in the last year or so. Both taste and volume. It's six dollars for a razor thin sliced that's barely three bites. Taste also not that good anymore. I doubt I'll come back ever again. I feel totally ripped off. read more

Tried the pastries and coffee! Extremely pleased, I am not a fan of extra sugary pastries and the ones served here had the appropriate amount! Definitely coming back!! read more

Dude I got a happy food high off of their desserts, it's that good! Ok no they don't put substances in their cakes, but when a little piece of heaven melts in your mouth as you take that first bite of green tea tiramisu, it lifts you up and out of this fucking world! Hands down best Japanese style delicate cakes around Seattle read more

Hirko is such a great cute little bakery shop! My friends and I usually come by in the morning to get the turkey and egg pastry which is an awesome light breakfast option! I just recently tried the strawberry cream cheese roll and it was very light and fluffy, huge fan! I hear good things about the matcha green tea cheesecake and hopefully will try this soon for dessert. Anyways, I love this place and it's an awesome place to get pastries! Decent prices as well. read more

So glad we found this Japanese bakery! We picked up: Matcha tiramisu, cassi mouse torte, gateau basque, gateau chocolat, mango cup, caramel cup, oatmeal cranberry cookie, sour cream pineapple coffee cake, and lemon scone. Everything was light with a perfect level of sweetness. The bonus was the crunchy and not too sweet oatmeal cranberry cookie. Will definitely come back for more goodies. read more

Actually it's more like 3.5 stars. Came here on a sunny Saturday and upon entering, we were immediately overwhelmed with the large selection of desserts and each single one was begging to be eaten. Maybe it was an off day, but the actual experience didn't quite match up to what I had hoped. - sausage roll: 2 stars. the bread was a bit dry and sausage was lukewarm and lacked taste. - orange roll: 3.5 stars. got it because of a magazine display featuring this roll on the top of the counter. i liked the hint of orange but again the breading is not as soft as I was hoping. - Souffle cheesecake: 4 stars. Very smooth texture that just melts in your mouth, the flavors were very well blended. Service was surprising slow, had to wait about 20 minutes before we could get our first order in. The customer behind us actually left because of the wait.. Looking forward to give this place another try sometime in the future, hopefully it'll be different in a better way! read more

I've been to Hiroki a few times when visiting Seattle - the desserts here are beautiful and pricey (2 desserts and 2 small hot chocolates set us back $20). I've enjoyed a few things here but there always seems to be something that they do to the dessert to prevent it from being excellent. For instance, on my most recent visit, I ordered the chocolate ganache cake and there was some sort of apricot/orange type jelly at the bottom - how strange! I think they're trying to be a bit too innovative and should consider going back to the basics cause that's what people love! The seating here is pretty limited and they sort of make you feel like you're imposing if you stay and eat there but we do it anyway. read more

This is a nice dessert shop in Tangletown. However, the price is extremely high for what you get so I am writing this to remind myself not to go back. The dessert / cake slices range from $6.25 - $7.50 per piece. Then when you check out, there's the suggested tip of 15-25%. When the server is just handing you a piece of cake, there really shouldn't be an extra tip on there. However, since it's on the screen, there's pressure to click one of the tips, otherwise it seems rude not to leave a tip. I would assume the high price for a piece of dessert would include the effort of taking it out of the case and handing it to you. It tastes pretty good overall, and each dessert has nice aesthetic appeal. However, the taste is nothing memorable, and after eating the desserts, I always regret it. A dessert outing for 2 adults here costs over $35 (including tax and tip). It just seems too excessive. It's not like it's a fancy sit down restaurant. It's just a small cafe where they hand you a piece of dessert sitting in a case. I will try some of the other suggestions the other reviewers listed. (Le Fournil on Eastlake. Piece of Cake in the International District). To end on some positives: The people are nice. I like that the drinks are not too sweet. read more

Latte is good. The cakes tasted good too, however, Tiramisu was not traditional as I expected. read more

Hiroki - Delicious. The tiramisu I ordered was not as traditional as i expected. But this is a good place for high tea. - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Reasons for having children run the gamut from "oops" to continuing the human race. Hah. It's so you can go to places like Hiroki with your friends, without your kids, and order double chocolate orange cookies, chocolate peanut butter cookies, russian tea cakes and a piece of that frangipani pear torte to "take home to the kids". That is, after you sit and eat a piece of matcha tiramisu that brings a puzzled look to your face while vague memories of childhood float around in your pleasure soaked brain, while drinking one of the best Americanos you've ever had in your life and chatting the evening away. Then you get home and give each child a cookie and stash the rest for yourself. My 14 year old son who claims he has a "sophisticated palate" (his words) said it was the best cookie he'd ever eaten in his life. I'm assuming the ungrateful brat forgot all the homemade cookies I've made for him. Anyway, I'm highly impressed with the desserts here and the unassuming and comfortable atmosphere. I'd say I'll be back here a lot except I now need to go on a diet. Uh, yeah, in a few days when the stash is gone. Oh, and another reason for having kids is so you can steal half the chocolate out of their Halloween bags. Don't be shocked, I'll bet your mother did it without you knowing. read more

This is a story of delayed gratification. [If you want to know about Hiroki, just scroll to the last paragraph.] My friends and I stopped in here during our wait for Kisaku, just before Diggity Dog (http://www.yelp.com/biz/diggity-dog-hotdog-and-sausage-co-seattle#hrid:ol25__A2978xfFyspkoazA/src:self). We each got a little treat, telling ourselves it would be for later. My mouth was watering at the piece of white chocolate cake that I picked up, but I decided to be strong while we went to Diggity Dog. OK, now can we eat it? No, we have to go eat sushi first. So we put the pieces of cake in a friend's car and stopped in to Kisaku for some sushi. OK, _now_ can we eat it? No, turns out - there's a lantern lighting ceremony on Greenlake. Let's hurry there so we don't miss it. We drive around looking for parking, and park at a nearby 7-eleven. The driver mentions that he hopes the car doesn't get towed. I ask if we should take the desserts out of the trunk just in case. I was only partially kidding. The lantern ceremony was great, but ok, *NOW* can w--- Just then, I get a text message. Am I in the mood for some ice cream? &*#$@ YES! I love ice cream. So, I had to wait until the next day for my white chocolate cake. But the anticipation made it all that much better - it was absolutely divine. The right balance of cake and sweetness, and the white chocolate shavings on top were awesome. Now I need to go back to try the pumpkin cream puff! read more

YUM, and score another for Yelp! This place is tucked away in the middle of Wallingford. It's a bit nondescript from the outside, and small on the inside, but OH, the goodness... One half of the display was dedicated to brunch-y type items, and the other was gorgeous looking desserts. The owner (I think?) was at the counter helping with orders. There are a few tables in the back that give it a nice cozy atmosphere. We tried the brunch items this time around. (SORRY Hiroki - all of these had fabulous names that I just can't remember...) - Ham and egg roll: tasty! - some sort of French toast thing: yum! - Kabocha muffin: how fun! - sweet potato roll: my fave... So creative! Will have to come back for their desserts. BTW, note to the single girls in Seattle, **** Hiroki's on a Saturday morning is where you need to be. ***** I have NEVER seen a line of guys waiting at a bakery before. Granted, they may not all bat for the team, but still, the fact they were there says something about the quality of this place... ;) read more

I came here for brunch on Saturday and had the sausage caraway roll. Wish I hadn't split it with my companion; it was delicious. Good quality sausage and the bread part wasn't overly buttery. the nice man behind the counter heated it up for us (big thanks!). Only thing missing - a generous schmear of mustard. Also split an orange roll, which I've had before. this one was particularly caramel-y on the bottom. yummy!! thinking about ordering a buche de noel... read more

This is more of a placeholder review. 3 Deathstars might not be fair, but neither was me driving clear across town in traffic to go try their pumpkin cream puff only to find they won't have any more in stock for another 9 months. If you're supposedly famous for a confection, you need to make that confection available. This makes me an angry Jedi. And we all know how that turns out... I'll revisit this review in October with a formal review of the place and what this purported masterpiece of cream and pastry is all about, and then adjust the stars accordingly. For now I'll give them a meandering 3 Deathstars on the strength of how tasty the stuff they DID have behind the glass looked. For now, let this serve as a warning that if you decide you want to knock the cream puff off your Foodie 100 quest, you're going to leave sorely disappointed. read more

First off, Hiroki sann should get an ovation of cheer and applause as enthusiastic as Japanese tourists at a Mariner's game for being open until 9 pm!!! (I know, I almost fainted like a born-again). His desserts are mui delicioso. I'm so scared Oprah is going to discover this place (it's THAT good). Do not mess around and hit up your local grocery store at 8:11 pm when you have a sweet tooth and get some frozen Sara Lee b.s and call it a night. NO! This brilliant man has shiny souffle cheesecake, haupia, carrot cake, chocolate mousse, mango mousse cakes. They all feel like a kanye west concert in your mouth, minus the blow-hard after taste. He keeps it fresh, and changes up his menu of desserts. Sometimes, you'll just have the pastries and coffee to go. Or if you're like me, eat it like you stole it like Tyrone's 5 o' clock crack give-a-way. Hiroki sann is SO nice and always behind the counter of his creations. If you're going to treat yourself, do it right but don't tell Oprah. read more

Let's go over the reasons why this place is awesome: 1. It's a tiny, hole-in-the-wall, mom-and-pop shop that feels like a tiny, hole-in-the-wall, mom-and-pop shop. Warm, eclectic, cozy, and non-pretentious. 2. It's in Tangletown, home to so many other awesome places. 3. There's PARKING. No, really. It's also right next to a bus stop (16) for those who bus it. 4. The pastries are amazing, and by amazing I mean "I will crawl over broken glass for a mile to get one of those sweet potato/satsuma tortes" amazing. 5. The coffee is really good - non-bitter, hearty, and flavorful. Everything looked amazing, but the above mentioned torte/tart thing with sweet potato and satsuma was to die for. Not overly sweet and not terribly dense. Mmmm... The only thing wrong with this place is that I can't move into it. read more

I envy you Seattleites because you have desserts of this caliber available at these prices. All of Hiroki's food is great, and some of it is downright godly. Do not miss: Macha Latte - they have perfected this drink. One of the best beverages I've ever had. Banana/Coconut Bread Pudding -- multidimensional dessert with a passionfruit (?) glaze that feels like a trip through the tropics in your mouth. Complex, unique and brilliant. read more

Yes, Hiroki sells cakes, cookies, and pastries. They are all delicious and not like typical heavy American sugary desserts. But did you know that Hiroki also makes ice cream?? If you are lucky enough to go when he has ice cream, skip the temptation of the desserts you see in the case and ORDER THE ICE CREAM!! Please don't tell all the people who are standing in line at Molly Moon's that Hiroki's ice cream is a thousand times better. Let's just make it our little secret, okay? read more
