    Paper love cake (the pink one)
    Hani K.

    Overall the flavors are very evident in their cakes and go well together, however the cake itself was quite dry. That's also the consensus a lot of ny friends and I have reached. But very unique. Store's very calm and there's a cute donut shop next door as well as a lot of other places to visit along the street and blocks nearby. Service is very kind!

    Ube Mocha Pretty presentation, but not much ube flavor despite the color. More caramel and butterscotch notes than anything, though the chocolate sauce oozing out was a nice touch. Chocolate Miso So much better. The salted miso notes perfectly balanced the sweetness, bringing out the chocolate and caramel without being overpowering. Rich but not heavy, easily the winner between the two. For the cost of the cake, I was expecting more forward flavors and balanced cakes.

    Lovely cake shop with unique rectangular cake slices. They offer fun Asian inspired flavors like miso, passion fruit and more. I came with a group and we got a slice of each flavor in the shop to them all and were not disappointed!! The cakes were moist, flavorful and appealingly decorated. The staff were patient and the seating area had some couches which were able to see my party of six. Would recommend and will be back!

    Paper Cake Shop looks beautiful and the cakes are definitely very aesthetic, but honestly this was one of the most disappointing dessert experiences I've had. The cakes were probably the driest cakes I've ever eaten, and the taste was just awful. We paid around $40 for 3 very small pieces, which felt completely unreasonable for the quality. Yes, it's in a nice neighborhood and the presentation is pretty, but it is absolutely not worth it whatsoever.

    The aesthetic of this place is such a vibe. It's giving cute cafe culture you'd find in like Korea or Japan with a Wes Anderson feel from the decor. All their ingredients are locally sourced and highlight the great produce and talent seattle has to offer. All the cakes were so visually appealing, but we settled on the black sesame cake and the gluten-free chocolate cake.

    It's such a cute little cake spot in Fremont! My friends and I tried a bunch of cakes here and everything was so yummy. My absolute favorite was the Coco Nana. It was a chocolate cake with misugaru frosting that tasted next level. We also tried the Yoka Miso Chocolate and Keel Bill, which had cool flavors like lychee gel and fruit loops. It had really unique combos you don't find everywhere. Only downside is that the prices are kinda wild. One pastry was $11.55. It is def on the expensive side, but goes without saying that the flavors and vibes unique. Service is great too!

    Visually the cakes are so aesthetic and pretty, with unique flavors and combinations. However, 5 out of the 6 flavors we tried were way too sweet in my opinion. I thought the texture of the cake was fine and soft, but a majority of the jams/fillings used, and the buttercream was so overwhelmingly sweet I was done after one bite. For example, trying a smudge of the jam alone in some of the cakes felt like I was eating liquified candy and syrup. The cakes here have pretty bold and strong flavors. While I personally enjoy more subtle, light flavors in cake, I know dessert and cake is a very personal preference, so if you like rich and stronger flavors, this place will probably satisfy your craving! The sizes of the individual slices are also a little smaller than what you could probably get from other bakeries. I would recommend coming to try some of the atypical flavors and combinations they offer but maybe bring a glass of milk with you to temper out the sweetness.

    Cafe itself was super cute. This review really only is for the thai tea cake slice since that was the only flavor I tried. It was really crumbly. The cake did not taste like thai tea at all. I could only stomach one to two bites of the cake. I had high hopes for this place, but was let down.

    I've seen so many videos on Instagram of this place and I had to give it a try! Ambience is great - It's a great place to catch up with friends over coffee and cake. I was pretty surprised by the cost of each slice priced at $8 but each piece is very aesthetically pleasing. However, it definitely looks better than it tastes. I was very disappointed at how dry the cake was & frosting was not it for me. It was stale, hard and fell apart every time I grabbed a bite. I wanted to like this place so bad but I don't think I'll come back :/

    I've been wanting to stop by for quite sometime so when we're having a small ladies birthday shindig, I thought this would be perfect! Service was lovely and quick! I love that they always have a gluten free option . As someone with celiac it's not always easy to get to enjoy baked goods. There were two gluten free options, the yoka miso and pistachio pandan. Also in the box was POG, keel bill, stone way summer and Ube jasmine . I think the menu online and what I got in store was slightly off as there was a spiced cake that wasn't listed and didn't have the flavor profiles of the menu, but I didn't check once in the store so that was on me! Cakes were moist, but the flavors were subtle. I was hoping for a stronger pandan flavor but that and the pistachio were very delicate on the palette. Yoka miso was more chocolate forward but the caramel was lovely and enjoyable. As far as pricing goes, are they over priced? Yes. It's a great little cake shop but one that I think is more of a special treat than a place to go if craving something sweet. I do enjoy the seasonality of the available options and could see myself coming back again a time or two when the menu is different.

    Paper cake has been on my list to try! At around $8 per slice, it's on the pricey end but good to split amongst friends. The flavors are delicious, creative, and unique. Service was good and friendly and the shop is pretty aesthetic. Highly recommend stopping by with a few friends and trying their slices!

    Matcha Raspberry Ice Cream Cake (August - Seasonal?)

    Got their ice cream cake, so can't properly say I enjoy their regular cake just yet. The matcha raspberry and the black sesame ice cream cake were very good! Super refreshing cake! I enjoyed every bite!

    During my visit to Seattle, my friend suggested we check out Paper Cake Shop after having seen their beautiful cake options on Instagram. Their cakes are STUNNING--each of them are so intricately done, and they all have interesting flavor combinations! We ordered the Mango Black Tea Cake. While the cakes look lovely, I would say they taste just okay. The cake itself is on the dry side, and the frosting is extremely hard and dense--I would say that the frosting was my least favorite part. The mango flavor also tasted extremely artificial, but it did add a nice contrast in flavor. I also think that the price is pretty steep for what you're getting, hence the lower rating. That being said, the shop's ambiance is very cute, with a good amount of seating and lots of pink. I think it would be a nice place to hang out and embrace girlhood. I think it's worth coming to get a sweet treat if you're in the area and take some cute food photos, but I wasn't that impressed.

They offered the item on both days this weekend and again I missed it on Saturday. I asked the front person what time I should get to the bakery in order not to miss it, and she recommended that I come in right at the opening. She said they ran out of it some time past 11am on Saturday, so it seems like they don't necessarily go flying off the counter immediately. Although I was curious, I still wasn't sure if I'd make it in time for opening at 8am the next day. But I was housesitting nearby and the dog woke me up at 6:30 begging to go on a walk. Not wanting to waste the fact that I woke up early on a Sunday, I decided to not go back to bed but head to the bakery at 8am. I arrived like 2-3 minutes before opening and was surprised to see there were already more than ten people lined up at the bakery. Having worked a retail job, my coworkers and I get annoyed when people start lining up before opening, so I tried my best to arrive right on time. But the line was a bit much. Anyways, I respect that everyone working at the bakery doesn't seem one bit offended by the crowd and are so nice to the customers. Consequently, I'm glad I went for the Maritozzi. It was really good. But if it's this difficult to get one then I probably won't go for it again.
