Well this was very interesting, I wanted to try the cheesecake with my youngest who absolutely loves Japanese style cheesecakes and these guys know what they're doing. BUT They had no cheesecakes, no you don't understand they had nothing the only thing they had was their mini cheesecakes which you could only get with the sundae or the flight (and that was entirely their fruit flavored ones) Guys I was shook, they fly their cheesecakes in so we had gotten there 2 days before the next shipment. Now look I'm not docking points because a) The guys there were trying so hard to keep people happy in an impossible position. b) On their menu (online) it said a lot of things were sold out, I had just assumed that they meant their whole cakes, not that their café was no longer functioning lol, my bad So now you know. They are still amazing BUT check that menu before going read more

This store is impeccably clean and well maintained, which creates a great first impression when you walk in. I tried the Mango Hokkaido milk ice cream along with the fromage cheesecake, and both were definitely tasty. The flavors are authentic and the texture of the cheesecake is as smooth as expected. However, the overall experience felt subpar for a few reasons. The pricing is quite high, and while the food is good, it does not feel like the quality fully justifies the cost. Additionally, the staff members were a bit rude and did not provide a welcoming atmosphere. While the treats are enjoyable, the combination of high prices and lackluster service makes it hard to give a higher rating. read more

I was fortunate enough to try LeTao at its original location in Hokkaido. And while I am usually cynical about brands that make their way across the pacific, I'm happy to report that the first location in Bellevue is actually very good. The soft serve is perfectly creamy and actually more impressive than I remember. If it's your first time, you should absolutely get it with a cake and cookie. If there is a flaw, I'm very tempted to dock a star for the awkward store layout. The elevated seating area seems like underutilized space. The lounge chairs and high tops are also positioned very strangely. Please take some of the money you make and hire a real interior designer! read more

Huge fan of basically anything Japanese. Their philosophy of things is unparalleled, in life, in car making, electronics making, food making, anything. Much of that process, philosophy comes from China - Confucius, Buddhism and they improved up on it incorporating not only into mindset, but technology - "Kaizen." Their Fromage Double, bestseller cake is delicious. Not sweet, airy, decadent. Not cheap neither, haha. Worth it, yes, when you wanna treat yourself for sure. Latte was mid, tasted almost more like an Americano, but really appreciated the beautiful glass it came in. Parking validation is included. Can't wait for another Fromageeeee :) read more

Another family member's plans to visit LeTAO was cancelled. I happen to be in Bellevue and decided to make this my third stop before heading back across the lake (3/20/26). Got to make use of that round trip 520 toll! My gps brought me to the valet circle at The Bravern. I took my chances, parked off to the side, and threw my blinkers on. I headed into the sleek dessert boutique to seek out a slice of the Fromage Double. I had to patiently wait for two other customers to be served. This gave me an opportunity to look around. I realized that the unshielded dessert displays were not real, but replicates to consider. I wished there were some samples available. If there were, I clearly missed out. Finally, it was my turn to place my order. The counter staff person only would sell me a whole cake (totally out of my budget). I only wanted a slice, plus I was having visions of my car being ticketed and/or towed. She continued on that for a single slice this would have to be served and consumed in the dining area. At this point, I told her that this was my first visit and drove all the way from Shoreline on behalf of a family member, thanked her for her time, said no thanks and was ready to leave. At this point, she acquiesced to allow the one slice. She went into the back kitchen area with a box. I declined a bag, paid, and raced back to my car with my prized purchase. Pro tips: I recommend to first open their website and look at their detailed menus to learn what items are available ahead of time. I posted screenshots from their website. Understand that these desserts are flown in from Otaru, Hokkaido, Japan. It is their preference to serve them under optimal conditions and presentation, hence the suggestion to dine onsite versus takeout. Unless you specifically want valet parking, do not leave your car there. Unnecessary stress plus expensive if one was ticketed and towed. Cheaper than airfare to/from Hokkaido, but still. Stupid move. Use the public parking at The Bravern, LeTAO is located on the first floor. I also posted a screenshot from The Bravern website about parking. Definitely, this is an elevated dessert experience using French and Japanese techniques. Lighter, subtle, smaller, and not overly sweet. Despite the annoyance at the time, this was a worthy endeavor. If there's ever a repeat visit, it will be under calmer conditions and savor the plated dessert(s) and beverage(s) onsite. read more

LeTAO is a Japanese dessert shop founded in Otaru, a city in the northern island of Hokkaido. This location, on the first floor of the Bravern, brings their famous cheesecakes to Bellevue. All of their cheesecakes are frozen and shipped in from Japan, using Hokkaido dairy products, and the prices reflect the shipping costs from importing the cakes this distance. The cafe is bright and inviting, and there are several tables and seating available for dining in, where you can enjoy a single slice of cake, or Hokkaido milk soft serve, or enjoy a cake set with a tea or latte. You can also order whole cakes to enjoy at home. I had the seasonal blueberry cheesecake, the Floraison de Myrtilles, which was a delicious double layered cheesecake, topped with blueberry jam and pistachios. Overall, had a great experience at LeTAO. Would recommend stopping by for a special occasion. read more

One of the best things about this place is that the staff are happy to let you sample the incredible cheesecake desserts. ($50 for a 6-inch cake).

Came for my husband's bday cake. Asked him to choose between 2 flavors, and he said both! We got mango and chocolate flavors. The staff let me sample the different cakes before choosing the one(s) to take home. The size of the cakes are pretty small (especially considering their price). They seem like personal sized cakes. Haha. But when you actually eat them, they are pretty rich so you don't need huge slices. Although they are only subtly sweet, they taste decadent from butter and cream. The staff give happy birthday toppers with the cakes. I also got a couple boxes of cookies, and the packaging and bows were immaculate. I think these are nice desserts for a special occasion - but probably just a slice will do for me personally. read more

A modern simple upscale cafe. Hokkaido inspired desserts and drinks that were all delicious. Tries the soft serve sundae with half milk and half fromage with a slice of fromage and the otaku rue iron fromage cookie for the sides. Lychee & rose sparkling water is so refreshing. Service was great, very helpful at explaining what things were and samples were given which was nice. Definitely coming back to explore more from there menu. read more

This is a cute place to come for a bday. They give you a little happy bday sign and have a trio selection for cake. The lady at the counter was confusing though so service wasn't the greatest. we tried some cake samples and I asked if I could have a slice and she said no.i thought it was odd you Could only purchase the $50+ dollar cakes but then she corrected herself later when I saw the menu and asked he about the trio cake selection and she said oh that's done in. If I hadn't mentioned anything I would've assumed letao doesn't serve slices and wouldve left. The cake slices were good: peach, blue berry and mango. Peach earl gray was the best then mango second. Small but refreshing and light. And so cute with the happy bday sign. Would come again on a friends bday. read more

I love visiting cafés in Bellevue, and this is a great spot if you're looking to enjoy a sip of matcha, coffee, or other drinks alongside slices of cake. The cheesecake was delicious, not too sweet and not too bland. The staff were welcoming, and I loved that you can request service directly through your phone instead of walking back to the counter. The ambiance is clean and inviting, with seating for up to four people per table. read more

With a location at the Bravern, the prices aren't surprising to me but I probably won't be a frequent customer here. The 2 of us got the seasonal trio of cakes, which were light and just the right amount of sweetness; Mont Blanc ice cream, which was so creamy but still delicate; and each of the hot tea options. Our total was $45 but we stayed for about 3 hours and were able to get parking reimbursement. Our server was lovely and helped guide us through the menu, and everything came out quickly. I'd drop by for a cake on a special occasion. They also have cute gift sets. read more

Really enjoyed everything we had here! Next time maybe we will get one of the cakes. This time we just stopped in for a small dessert with the mont blanc and a small tart with boba. The servers were very friendly and helpful. They gave a good recommendation for the Mont blanc. The ambiance feels very high class in a way being near all the high end shops and with the decor, but there's not really much seating inside. Maybe 8 tables total? I'd come back for the ice cream again and to try their cakes! read more

So expensive but so cute and so good. My bf got us this cake because he felt like it. Apparently he got to try it in store and thought the yuki akari was standout. It's a small delicate cheesecake with an orange sauce, whole entire mandarins, all wrapped in a soft delicate mochi layer. The whole thing really is just beautiful and even though it came frozen (supposed to defrost in the fridge a bit before eating) it didn't have the crystallized freezer burn taste at all. Even the mandarin retained a soft sweetness. Speaking of, idk where they got these mandarins but they were the most vibrant shade of orange and just perfectly sweet. The mochi was pillowy and eating the cake just made me so happy read more

LeTao is a Japanese cakes shop that is very popular overseas, and it's great to finally see one open in the Seattle area. And they certainly opened in style with a minimalist, stark white space at the Bravern. The cakes are beautifully displayed and work of art. OK, they are small (6 in diameter) and pricey, especially compared to prices in Asia. But the cakes are delicious and they are packaged well to go. Appreciated the samples while waiting in line to help decide and ended up getting their fromage double, which is their best seller and was not disappointed. My daughter loved her tea drink too. So while the cakes may be a bit pricier, they are worth the splurge and the shop is worth a visit to dine it or takeout. read more

Really delicious dessert! The sundae seemed like a good option to be able to try a few things. The swirl soft serve was not too sweet but had such a milky delicious flavor. I also really liked the cake but the salty cookie was the highlight. The texture was crunchy and so yummy. definitely would come back for a box of those. I think a cake or box of cookies from here would be an amazing gift. Excellent service - they offered me two samples before I bought anything. Ambiance is spacious, well presented, and very clean. read more

Highly recommend this place if you crave for something sweet and special! read more

I have been wanting to come here for the mont blanc soft serve alone, and I finally was able to try it. I went with the Hokkaido milk flavor and it was delicious. The taste of the chestnut topping reminded me of sweet potato and although I feel that $13 was a bit steep for a soft serve, I would probably get it again. I also tried a sample of their fromage double cake and the flavor was very light and not too sweet. The cafe itself is very spacious and has seating for you to dine in.

LeTAO - Themed Cafes Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

A nice cafe with some very expensive desserts. I shared the Mont Blanc soft serve with a friend and it was very tasty - the chestnut pet on top was extremely dense and very strongly flavored, which was great. The soft serve (I got milk-flavor) was very smooth and creamy, which went well with the chestnut. The workers were very helpful and let us sample the cake and both types of soft serve, which was useful for deciding which item to get. The sample cake was really tasty too! Two negatives - the price is quite high (except maybe for the milk tea, which seemed surprisingly cheap, though I didn't order it so maybe it's small?) They need more chairs / tables. With how sparse the seating is (despite the space) it feels less like a cafe and more like an airport-type drop-in store, where they don't expect you to stay and eat. read more

One of my favorite soft serves. We got the Mont Blanc and it tasted as good as it looked.

I also got the coconut latte which was amazing as well. Not sweet at all since they use heavy coconut cream opposed to a syrup. Food: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Ambience: 9/10 read more

I randomly went here while waiting for a friend and thought, "Hey, I've always seen this place whenever I'm at HeyTea that's right next door, why don't I give it a try?" This is a Japanese dessert place with cheesecakes, ice cream and drinks along with other things. There's seating inside and it's very modern like most interiors in the Bellevue area. Because it was the highly recommended one and the one most people in front of and behind me got, I also had to get the mont blanc soft serve with Hokkaido milk. It's essentially vanilla ice cream with chestnut puree as expected. For ~$15 it's a pretty small cup. Not only that, most things (including the mont blanc cake I really wanted to try) are pretty expensive and up there. Regardless, I still loved eating it; it was really creamy, and the puree hits the spot! The flavor is balanced and not one thing overpowers the other. This makes we want to try their other things (especially the mont blanc cake) in a future visit, probably as a dine-in! read more

First I want to say, hands down, top notch service. The cakes are very expensive. If you are someone who doesn't ever look at price tags, you'd be just fine though. I just happen to always check prices.... They offered samples and yes they do taste great. I want to say my best friend and I were absolutely amazed by the coconut latte. Wow I'd go back just to get the coconut latte again. Nothing like what I have tried before in a coffee shop. maybe it's the coconut cream?... or maybe I should get out more. lol just kidding I am out a lot. Anyway, stop by and see if you'd like to try anything. It is an interesting shop. read more

Went into LeTAO on a whim and really enjoyed the cake. I'm a big cheesecake fan, and the double fromage is everything I could ask for. It has three layers excluding the crust, including a rich base reminiscent of NY cheesecake, topped with an impossibly light layer that melts in your mouth, finished off by cream. The raspberry sauce it's served with pairs very well too. I wish they allowed by-the-slice ordering for more flavors besides the classic and chocolate, but overall the experience including service and ambiance was very nice. read more

Love the cheese cake. Prices are on the high side. Maybe because everything is imported, plus the location?

The store is nice and the environment is casual. read more

I recently stopped by LeTAO in Bellevue to pick up an Original Double Fromage for my cousin's birthday, and it was hands-down the best birthday cake I've ever tasted. If you think you know cheesecake, this will completely change your standards! The Layers (A 3-tier masterpiece): What makes this cake so special is the incredible contrast in textures. It has three distinct layers that work perfectly together: * The Top: The top layer is light and fluffy, almost like eating a sweet, delicate cloud. It melts the moment it hits your tongue. * The Middle: This layer is a rich and velvety smooth cream cheese. It's incredibly creamy without being overly heavy or cloying. * The Base: A solid, classic cheesecake bottom that provides the perfect foundation for the lighter layers above. The Experience: The cake is smaller than a traditional American birthday cake, but the quality is so high that a small slice is incredibly satisfying. It's elegant, not too sweet, and was a huge hit with everyone at the party. Summary: LeTAO is definitely a premium treat, but for a special occasion like a birthday, it is 100% worth it. The Bellevue store is clean and the staff was very helpful in explaining how to properly thaw the cake for the best texture. Pro-Tip: If you are traveling with the cake, let the staff know! They usually provide ice packs to keep it at the perfect temperature since it's kept frozen/chilled to preserve that "cloud-like" texture. read more

Have you been to LeTAO in Bellevue yet? Their soft serve and cakes are seriously AMAZING! The Bellevue store is the first one outside of Japan in the US! It is famous for its Otaru Rue Ironai Fromage (LeTAO original fresh cream & Italian Mascapone cheese). The Mont Blanc Soft Serve with Hokkaido Milk is to die for. It is so smooth and creamy! We got the Yuki Akari cake to celebrate for Chinese New Year. It has Hokkaido cream cheese, whole mandarin oranges, and topped with a Setaka orange sauce. Such a pretty and delicious cake!

Very cute cafe. Can be pricey and they do validate parking! I ordered the chestnut soft serve and this was pretty good. Hokkaido milk was super soft and creamy. The chestnut ontop was like a puree.
