Nice glass. Appreciated.
Frank L.

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 :)

Entrance (3/20/26)
Marie B.

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.

Floraison de Myrtilles
Annie K.

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.

Fromage mix soft serve
Hani K.

Was realllly good but definitely expensive was ~$7-8 for this. The fromage was like cheesecake which was evident in the ice cream and overall I did really enjoy it! Service was very kind and the atmosphere feels luxurious and clean.

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). We tried the peach Earl Gray, as well as the double fromage. The space was clean and spacious and bright. A nice place to walk in for a break. Service by staff was excellent.

Inside view

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.

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.

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.

It's expensive but worth it in my opinion. The original cheesecake was my favorite, I liked that they were so nice and let us try samples of everything before we bought the desserts. The lady behind the counter was very helpful. There's not too much space to sit but still decent seating and the place is very clean and aesthetic.

Although I think the cake is not as good as the price, but the overall experience is always great. If you eat dine in, they provide good service and fancy food serving style. I just don't like the idea of the take home cake is frozen. Free parking.

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.

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!

Slice of yuki akari
Louise F.

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

Modern interior - does not look like a cake shop

How's their service?

Their service was good. Very kindly answered my question about the cakes, gave me access to the bathroom, and gave me the code to the WiFi. The service couldn't be better

Can I order a cake in advance or just walk in and buy a full cake?

Is reservation needed. We are planning to come on December 26 around noon?

No. It's walk in cafe style (not a reservation type of place).

My review is solely on their breakfast sandwiches…read more A pineapple bun, nearly split into two and sandwiches with a slab of perfectly grilled spam and fluffy salted and buttered egg. Mmm the combination cannot be more perfect. This is what Hk cafes are all about, and elevated with that savory piece of spam. If you haven't tried, I highly recommend you do. I got also about 10 to go, and gave them to my kids school teachers, and they all had their minds blown. They all took the time to reach out to me and asked where I got such a wonderful concoction! 100/10. Eat it hot for maximum score!

There isn't any dedicated parking for the cafe, but we were able to find street parking around the block. Once you enter inside the building and cafe, it is surprisingly spacious. There isn't that much seating available though. On a nice day, there is outdoor seating available. I ordered a Vietnamese Iced Coffee and a Mint Mojito Iced Coffee. These were drinks very basic. Nothing extravagant about them, especially the Vietnamese Iced Coffee. The Mint Mojito Iced Coffee was a tad bit better and you could taste the mint in it. If I were to return, I definitely would try other drinks or even their food items here. The customer service here was okay. Not very interactive. There wasn't any issues, but it was a bit awkward for whatever reason.

Chill, creative, and perfect for a solo work sesh or catch-up with friends. I tried their signature 'The Good Egg Breakfast Sandwich' with bacon, egg, cheddar, provolone, roasted garlic aioli, tomato jam and arugula. I also had a mushroom super boosted cappuccino with their "Brainwash" add in and loved the earthy, smooth flavors -- no weird aftertaste, just pure comfort in a cup. It's crafted from a blend of Reishi, Chaga, Lions Mane and Cordyseps - Reishi helps with stress and sleep, Chaga boosts immunity and fights inflammation, Lion's Mane supports focus and memory, and Cordyceps increases energy and endurance. There are varieties that you can add to your daily coffee or smoothie or even to teas and juices. If you're curious about functional mushrooms or just want to try something new, this place is worth a stop
