Love love love The owner is a very sweet older gentleman who has a gentle voice and beautiful smile. He was very welcoming, I look forward to returning again. I purchased the strawberry cake per his recommendation. It was an 8 inch that cost over 40 bucks. Pretty big too. It's Hong Kong style so the texture is spongy, airy and soft. It's also not too sweet. Apparently they don't play about making their desserts too sweet over there which I love. Perfect with a nice cup of coffee or tea. I included some pictures of what the interior looks like. They look underwhelming but it's honestly a bang for your buck. I forgot to mention but they sell by the slice as well! They go through them pretty quickly though so get them while they last read more

The boards in the windows, sparse display case, and random boxes of things strewn about doesn't make for the most welcoming vibe, but that did not affect how much I enjoyed their cake. I got a strawberry cake (6", $34), and it was delicious. The cake was light and fluffy, the frosting was decadent but not heavy, and there were strawberries inbetween the layers, too. The man working there also gave me a little "happy birthday" placard and a candle when I asked for a candle. Overall i recommend them for a typical Asian birthday cake (eg. Cute and not too sweet) read more

Yummy House Bakery - 6" Fresh Strawberry Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was in town and craved some durian cake. Yelp lead me to this bakery. This bakery looks like literally a hole in the wall. The door isn't even fancy or anything. when you walk in you're greeted with a full of cakes that are ready to purchase and some assorted baked buns. I called ahead of time to pick up a 6 inch durian cake. The guy asked me over the phone is this for anything, and my response was "I said it's for me to eat because I want some durian cake". The cake itself shifted while I held the box like a football and that was my bad. From what I recall the layer of cream in the inside was very thin and even then there wasnt that much durian in it. The outside frosting is almost like cool whip which I'm a fan of and the chocolate smear on the bottom really complimented it. The cake itself isn't moist, it's soft and spongy and really it reminded me of angel food cake texture. Overall for $39 you can consider this a personalized cake that is durian tasting. It's not bad or overly sweet, but it wasn't as pungent as I'd like it to be. But that's ok, I just pulled out some fresh durian to eat with it to make up for it. read more

Not good whatsoever. The pork floss bun was DRY, BLAND, and STALE with hardly any topping. The bun just tasted like nothing. The eggs tart lacked flavor and didn't have a flaky crust. Maybe I went on a bad day but there was very little selection and everything looked very grey and old. I wanted to love this place but just came out utterly disappointed. Maybe their cakes are a different story, but their pastries are abysmal. read more

This hole-in-the-wall Hong Kong bakery has tasty, HUGE pasteries for very reasonable prices. Most items cost under $3! They do charge an extra $0.50 if you use a credit card for under $10. Which is an excellent excuse to buy MOAR PASTRY! read more

This is where we go when we want Hong Kong style bakery items. We especially love their pork buns and their coconut buns. Don't be fooled by the exterior which has suffered since the pandemic due to hate crimes in the neighborhood. They are still open and still YUMMY. read more

Classic hong kong pastry shop They have whole cakes and cake slices ready for purchase day of, but I've also ordered customized cakes from them. The value for what you get is great, especially their breads. For more money you can get similar items from 85 degrees or tous les jours, but they're way smaller than the ones here. I thought the breads were soft and fluffy, the crunchy top on both were good too. The cake is a standard asian cake, not too sweet and light. Excited to come back and try their other items! read more

The vibe of the store is no longer a bakery. You walk in and you see stuff around everywhere...it's weird...

Was looking for some pastries stuffed with sweet black beans. So I went to several bakeries chops and dim sum restaurants to no avail. Then we were driving on 6th Ave and I remembered yummy house bakery. Finally able to scored their last 2 black bean breads, and one stuffed with taro ( first time trying this). My other half was delighted since he can't have dairy products anymore The buns were tasty! And I am sure we will return for more. Service was quick and courteous. read more

Seriously one of the best cakes in Seattle! Their cream is perfect (not too sweet) with great flavor. The cake itself is also very light, so It's not too heavy on the stomach. I got the Durian cake and several other cake slices that were reasonably priced and beautifully decorated. Would highly recommend supporting them! read more

Behind its boarded windows and doors, you'll find the gem that is Yummy House Bakery. This bakery has saved me more times than I can count, I am truly grateful to have stumbled upon it. I ordered a 6" durian cake around 11:35AM on a Friday and the cake was available for pickup within a little less than an hour. Not many bakeries have quick turnaround times when placing an order the same day. The cake itself is delicious-- light, fresh, and spongy. You also have the option to customize toppings and decorations + it comes w/ a free candle. You can tell they put a lot thought and effort into their craftsmanship w/ the amount of questions they ask prior. Honestly the only bakery I can trust to be consistent and precise. Will be coming back soon :-) read more

Yummy House Bakery - Durian Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I used to go to yummy bakery a lot 6 years ago. A lot has happened to it since. First off, the shop front is boarded up and I was afraid they had closed down. But nope! Still open. It seemed like they scaled down on their pastry production and now just serve the basic milk bread type pastries, egg tarts, and cake. I remember when the left side walls used to be lined with deliciousness. Now it is just inside the counter. Perhaps they serve more on other days but that is pretty much all I saw. I was hoping they had mooncakes available as it was the mid autumn moon festival but nope! Honestly, the pastries are still good. I tried the egg tart (less flavorful that other places), the coconut bun (delicious, tasted like there was butter in the cream), cream bun (tasted like it should), and red bean bun (very sweet). I enjoy walking into the bakery and getting smacked with the smell of delicious durian cake. The prices have increased a bit as well but their pastries are bigger than a lot of other places. Service is fine. I enjoy not having to exchange pleasantries with people. There is a service fee for purchases under 10 dollars. It used to be cash only so there is some improvement. read more

I got a slice of chestnut cake as well as a pork bun and taro bun. The bread for the buns were quite dry and were skimpy on filling. The cake slice was good but could use more chestnut flavor. Ok if you have a craving but might opt for another option next time. read more

I'd been craving pineapple buns for a while so I came here and purchased one, along with a couple egg tarts. I ended up not being a huge fan of the pineapple buns -- the topping was a little too sweet, which overwhelmed the taste of the bread, and the bread was a tad dry -- but the egg tarts would delicious! read more

I was looking for a quick and easy place to pick up some pastries before heading to a friend's house and stopped in to grab a few things. From the outside, it looks as if they are closed because the windows are boarded up, but they had the door open and an open light on, so I headed in. They had good selection still on a Sunday afternoon, so I grabbed 6 breads and 3 egg tarts are only around $20! They have great prices, similar to pricing pre-COVID, so I will definitely be back! They also had a lot of great cake options, so keeping that in mind for the next time I need to pick one up. Highly recommend if you're looking for a simple, quick option that is both affordable and yummy, and gives an opportunity to support a great small business in the ID! read more

Been over a year since I went into Yummy House Bakery in Seattle's Chinatown. Do not be fooled by appearances. Bakery looked like it had seen better days. It was all boarded up so it look like it was closed. Hopefully, by now, the storefront has been all fixed up. Walked in and bought me some Egg Tarts. They had other goodies and treats, but I was only craving egg tarts. Yummy House makes some really good ones. Taste did not disappoint! Affordably priced too! Happy to say that they lived up to their name! Yummy egg tarts from Yummy House Bakery!! read more

Yummy House has been my go-to place so far when buying a birthday cake! This past time, I ordered a durian 6" birthday cake with white cake and white frosting for my best friend, which was around $37. It was about $15 more than a plain white cake because of the added durian. I had to order and pick up the same day to make it in time for my friend's birthday. I wasn't sure if they were able to make one that quick and was a bit worried. However, they said they could do it, and I was so thankful. Upon picking up the cake, I was so happy with how it came out, as it was so cute! They included one long candle, and we decided to add more of our own. My friend loved it! The cake itself was so fluffy and light, not too sweet. The durian was smooth and plentiful in the cake, just how we like it. I would love to come back and try their other pastries and desserts sometime soon! read more

This was the first time I tried their chinese bakery while visiting Seattle. I stopped in around 4 pm on a weekday. It was empty. There was plastic shielding for the worker. They actually have a decent variety of bakeries at that time. I actually walked around the street and visited couple other bakery stores. Few stores had almost nothing on display so perhaps 4 pm is late for bakery shopping. It has been a long time since I purchased chinese bakery. Bakery cost at Yummy House Bakery is decent for the size. After picking out several items, I noticed couple bags of bakeries put on top of the display case. I asked the guy what they were and he told me they were day old bakeries. They packed the day one with variety. I can't remember how much I paid for a bag like under $5 and I got 6 items. What a find! When I tried them at my hotel, I was pleasantly surprised how tasty their bakeries were. I can't really tell the fresh ones from day one bakeries. So I would definitely check out there day old option first next time I visit Seattle. read more

At first glance, one wonders if this place is still open given the boarded up door and windows. But peak inside and you'll find some really good traditional Hong Kong style Chinese bakery. Prices are going up, as they are everywhere, but you get your $ worth since baked good seems larger here than at other bakeries. For best selection, late morning seems to be the sweet spot. By late afternoon, pickings are slim but there were still about 8 different items available. They occasionally have day old items at greater than 50% discount. This will be my go-to bakery in Seattle's International District. read more

Times, they are changing, not for the better. Curse you, COVID and riots! Yummy House has been a Cantonese bakery in the Chinatown International District for many years, providing deliciousness of buns, breads, cakes, and more. Because of COVID and riots, Yummy House stands as a shadow (figuratively and in actuality) of its former self and they need your help! First, about their pastries, think pineapple buns, cocktail buns, baked pork buns, and so much more. My favorite is their paper wrapped sponge cake. I buy them from here (and from Uwajimaya back when they carried YH items). Next, cakes. Like many Asian cake shops, they specialize in light sponge cakes, with plenty of cut fruits in between, and finished with a light cream. They are never overly sweet nor heavy. You can order cakes, buy by the slice, or buy a Swiss roll. They also make items like cream horns and eclairs. But offerings may be less now, so you should call to confirm. Lastly, I am addressing current conditions. Please take a look at the other photos to see a store of vibrant lighting filled with self-serve bins to grab your own pastries with tongs. Now because of riots, the store front is darkened with the plywood still on the glass. Because of COVID, they have re-arranged the store such that only two cases are at the front, and the entire staff area is completely sealed away from the front with plastic. I asked the lady at the counter, and she expressed genuine fear of infections. Poor lady. I do feel bad for all service staff in general. (Unless I'm mistaken, I'm pretty sure she's the owner as I have seen her there many times.) Not surprising, business is suffering. I'm going to do my best to support them, and I hope you do too! read more

I could easily eat a whole Mango mousse cake by myself! It's so soft and fluffy and the jelly like glaze on top is really good. The overall texture of this cake is amazing but they're also really BEAUTIFUL cakes! I had seen them as I was walking by and came back a few minutes later, I couldn't stop thinking about them! It was a little later in the day so there were a few choices left but I saw a dried pork bun that looked really good. The dried pork bun flakes had a fishy taste at first kind of Like takoyaki. Another bite and it was such a delicious unique pork taste that I was in love with it. There's also a bit of mayo in the inside and normally I hate mayo but altogether it's such a great combo! The outside of the shop is boarded up and spray painted but don't let that stop you from coming in. The quality and taste of the cake and bun that I tried will surely bring us back anytime we are around! read more

Cash only. We were excited to try their curry puff, but it didn't taste too fresh unfortunately and for $4 I wished for more. Pros: - Small business - Fast, ready for takeout - Flavor of the curry was good, it was more like true yellow Indian curry as opposed to east Asian curries, which are sweeter Cons: - Could have been more fresh. No warming in the display case or option to warm in store (I'd recommend reheating at home with a toaster oven to revive its crisp) - Lots of pastry layers could have been balanced with more filling; the ratio was off Maybe next time we'll try their sweet fruit cakes or pastries instead. The savory ones were a miss for us, though. read more

If the review was just for the food, I would have given this place a 3 star, but their excellent service definitely beyond my expectations. I had to get a last minute cake for my niece birthday and I placed an order at about 10am. After a few issues, everything was done and ready by 10:40am. I was amazed that they were able to accommodate for a cake and follow up with me with all the issues along the way. We ended ordering a strawberry cake and it was good. It was a standard cake with lots of strawberry and they were able to customize the cake to my liking. The cake had a lot of cream but the cake was a little bland even though there was tons of cream and strawberry. Overall though, this probably a good place for safe keeping for the next time I need another cake read more

Hella good bolobao. We came here twice when we only had 2 days in the city. Bao was soft and you could almost taste the stretchiness that comes from the roux Chinese people use to make the bao. The cookie part of it also didn't crumble into nothingness and separated from the bao well. 9/10. Great place for bolobao read more

Yummy House Bakery - Fresh Strawberry Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I was craving for strawberry shortcake on my birthday the other week and was disappointed to realize that my usual go-to bakery, A Piece of Cake, had closed. I ended up on a mini quest to find a suitable substitute and was so pleased to nab the last slice of fresh strawberry cake at Yummy House! While I wasn't the most impressed by the variety of goodies offered or by the decor/set-up of the place in general, I did absolutely love this cake! Super light, not too sweet, and delicious but not guilt-inducing. I really am sad that A Piece of Cake is no more, but I'm happy there's at least another bakery in the ID that does an excellent job making one of my favorite desserts! read more

Yummy House Bakery is a very good and famous Hong Kong style bakery and coffee shop in the Seattle area. This is a family-owned business with love and care. The bakery has a lot of choices for Hong Kong baked goods and cakes. They do custom cakes for birthdays and weddings too. I have not tried their cakes. But the coffee and pastries are very good. Many locals are they for breakfast when I am there. This is an older design bakery in the pretty busy street. The inside is not really comfortable if you would like to enjoy a cup of coffee in there. Purchased to go is a better choice! I cannot found a parking lot nearby! Street parking only. But the street is pretty busy with a lot of cars looking for parking spaces. The street parking are metered. So parking could be a problem! read more

Excellent service on special orders. Excellent bakery! Custom cakes, beautifully decorated

This bakery takes the cake for COVID precautions. The transparent divider they made between customers in the front of the house and everything else in the back of the house seems like it keeps the business safe. They slide your order through a flap in the divider and the only thing the customer touches is the credit card reader. I am not really fluent in Hong Kong style bakeries, nor am I really a fan of cake or Hong Kong style breads, but I wanted to try this place out because small businesses need our help during COVID. Here's my review: - Chestnut cake - very tall cake, 2 layers of whip cream (a thick layer on top and a thin layer toward the bottom), a very thick layer of chestnut cream in the middle, and 2 layers of white cake. The chestnut cream holds all the flavor. I vote this as the best of the desserts. - Egg tart - the crust was perfectly light, lighter than a graham cracker crust. The egg flavor was very intense. This was my first time eating an egg tart, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was surprised by how full of flavor this was. It's also very gelatinous. - Tiramisu cheesecake: 2 layers of chocolate sponge cake with dense cheesecake layers, and topped with powdered cocoa. A bit too dry for my taste. - Custard bun - my partner ordered this and they liked it - Coconut bun - my partner ordered this and they liked it read more

I stumbled upon their mango mousse cake, and it is the perfect treat to beat the heat. A couple light slices of cake with generous layers of fresh mango mousse, studded with chunks of mango, and topped with mango glaze. If this doesn't spell summer, what does? I love that you can buy them by the slice if you don't want the whole cake, especially if you want to save room for their other baked goods like the huge baked BBQ pork bun or the hefty cocktail bun stuffed with coconut filling. Look at the size of that cocktail bun! The selection is a bit limited at the moment, but they have great Covid safety measures, including big sheets of plastic to divide the employee side from the customer side. They also have a bank teller style microphone to communicate with customers. Oh, and they take credit card which is a plus. What a great minority-owned, family-owned bakery. They sure could use our support. read more

I've ordered birthday cakes at Yummy House Bakery and every time I bring them to a party, it's a HUGE success! Tons of compliments mainly for the presentation and flavor. In recent years I've had a red velvet cake topped with decadent chocolate art pieces. This time around for my boyfriend's birthday I placed an order (in person) the Black Forrest Cake with chocolate, whipped cream and strawberries. The cake was an 8" and came to about $42. I paid half the deposit up front in previous orders but this time I paid for it in full because I trust them. The cake came out amazing! See pictures below. The words can be a little more cleaned up but hey, who cares when the rest of it is bomb! Lol. The cake was fresh, light and the toppings made it look just as good as it tasted! I highly recommend this bakery for your simple cakes whether it's fruit cake, chocolate or red velvet cake. You pay pretty much $30-50 depending on the cake size and other customization. I added extra strawberries to this previous cake. They listen to your needs and make it exceptionally well. You can call the day of your pick-up to update them when you're coming or if you're having another recipient get the cake. Make sure you have your receipt copy when you come in to get it. There's also candles in case you forgot to buy them. They accept both cash and charge. Oh and there's smaller cake slices, pastries and such. I'd recommend stopping by for your Chinatown Bakery needs! read more

Yummy House Bakery - 8" Black Forrest Cake (does not come with the lasercut birthday cake topper) - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This review is strictly on their birthday cakes, not pastries. Pros: - fair prices (chestnut cake + candles were $40) - cake isn't overly sweet -perfect texture -ladies behind the counter are nice Cons: - not many cake options available if you did not special order in advance I remember this place from years ago. I used to come to this area with my friends in Middle/High School for boba. I feel very nostalgic and happy that small businesses like this one is still thriving! I stopped by later on the afternoon last week to grab a cake for my Dad's birthday. When I got up to the counter, there was about 6-7 birthday cakes. When I started asking if coconut was available, the lady pretty much told me only 2 of the cakes were available; all the orders were other people's special orders. I think there was mango and chestnut left. Maybe chestnut is a very popular Hong Kong style flavor, but I though it seemed like such a strange flavor to have that was 1 of my 2 options- what happened to basics like mixed fruit? "Is it good?", I asked the lady. "Yes", well of course she would say that. Anyway, I was curious, so Dad got a chestnut cake. They were nice enough to write the words in Chinese as I requested. I'm not sure the actual price of the cake but I know my bill added up to $40, which I thought was fair. I paid around the same last year at 85 Degrees. The cake was pretty good- sweet, not overly sweet, chestnut paste was creamy. It was very reminiscent of the mixed fruit birthday cakes I had growing up. I'll most likely come back and pick up after one next year, but I'll make sure to place an order so I get exactly what I want. read more
