This is really good cake. Its actually so good its great. Nope, this is pretty excellent! Thats how your first, second, and third bites will go as you taste the cakes created by Simply Desserts. Theyre every bit as fantastic pastries as any in the city. You wont find parking nearby so expect to walk a bit. As of 8/24/21 its cash only so arrive prepared! This cake is so good that if they asked you to pay in pesos you better find a way to make that happen.

They only accept cash or check! I find this quite strange and ended up being disappointed first attempt to eat here, like who carries cash or a checkbook nowadays? Anywho, I went back the next day and ordered the Chocolate Fudge and Banana Amaretto. The display prices were different, but the cashier said both are $6.00 after taxes.. a little strange. The Chocolate Fudge was average, the cake was nice, but the icing wasnt very good. The Banana Amaretto was good - almost like a banana bread with icing, but not very sweet overall. I preferred the Banana Amaretto over the Chocolate Fudge. The interior is OK. Its a small shop where if anyone is waiting in line they need to move in order for you to enter. The seats and tables are pretty bland and dont enhance the experience either. The prices are about $1 too high per slice. Overall, I would say its a nice place to grab dessert in Fremont, but the pricing and payment policies are inconvenient and the interior could use some love.

*July 2020* Theres a sign on the door that says one group of customer at a time inside. There was still a good variety of cakes available in the evening, like Chocolate Truffle (dark chocolate with dark chocolate frosting), Chocolate Fudge Cake (classic chocolate cake), Chocolate White Chocolate Cake and Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake. We chose Strawberry Cake, one of their bestseller recommended the cashier. For $6, it was a huge piece of cake. The cake was moist (though slightly doughy), the fresh strawberry and whipped cheese inside was light and not too sweet; the white chocolate frosting was sweet and a little hard. Overall, it was not the best cake ever but a satisfying experience nonetheless. The cake slice was large enough to be shared by 2 people.Tip: Cash or check ONLY

The staff was sunny and cheerful. The Chocolate Raspberry Cake was perfect, the raspberries had a fresh tart bite to them and the frosting was a hard shell of solid chocolate. This place impressively maintains a good atmosphere despite being by a major road. 10/10

Exceptional cakes & coffee! Cash only

Delicious desserts! We had the lemon blue berry cake and baileys chocolate cake, perfect blend of flavor and texture. Our server was very friendly and helpful. Definitely will come back.

Always amazing and they did not disappoint today. Love that this place is still thriving several decades since I first discovered this gem. Can count on my most favorite treat desires to be on hand and just as I remembered. Long time favorite is the white chocolate strawberry cake. Think next level strawberry shortcake. No whip cream of standard frosting here....instead strawberries and white chocolate ganache layers in-between incredibly moist cake. I dont even care much for cake, and yet I crave simply desserts. Yum yum.

If you like traditional cakes, this is a place to go. I love their strawberry cake over chocolate. Cash or check only is taken for payment. Try to find some street parking around the street. Currently dine in is not allowed.

Not open during the hours they have posted on their own door. And I’m not talking about a five-minutes-before-close situation. I mean they say they’re open until ten and you show up at nine to a closed sign on the door. Major disappointment, it would be nice to have a reliable dessert place with consistent hours.

I visited sometime after 8pm on a Thursday evening. When I arrived they had sold out of a few of the cakes, but they still had a bunch available. They also had cookies and brownies available to order. The woman working at the time was friendly and happy to answer any questions. I ended up going with a slice of the chocolate mocha cake. It was still moist at 8pm and it tasted just like the one I had from them at a family get-together a few years ago. Neither the chocolate or coffee overpowered the palate and the flavors were balanced well. If I’m looking for good cake in Fremont, I would definitely return.

Best cake I’ve ever tasted ! The strawberry white chocolate cake is my favorite!

The red velvet cake is my fav. One less star because the slices are getting smaller while the prices are going up 😞😓😩

Cash or check only. Cakes by the slice or order ahead. The strawberry white chocolate is our go-to birthday cake! Delicious.

Amazing. Every time Im in need of a celebration, I roll on over here. Remember, they only take cash!

I ordered a strawberry cake for my godson from them at the last minute. Everyone absolutely loved it! Delicious! Will definitely order future cakes from them.

I love coming to this place for desserts, they were very consistent for the first year I’ve known them but lately it seems they might have changed of baker ? Because last 1-2 months the cakes are always a little dryWould be a 5 if it weren’t for this little drop in quality as of recently

Hours stated they closed at 10... but we were told they closed at 930... felt odd as the only POC in the area and the white people got served 😕

Simply the BestFremont neighborhood has many things they should be proud off and one of them is this small, cute bakery shop located in the heart of their neighborhood.Simply Dessert made a name with the locals as simply providing delicious cakes without all that fancy decorations or such.They may look simple but thr taste isnout of this world. My favorite is the chocolate white chocolate. Very light and not too sweet.The chocolate white strawberry is very good as well. Very light and fresh.I suggest to eat them when it is in room temperature.Also this place is only cash so make sure to bring enough to try more than 1. Trust me you will love it!

No lie, this lemon blueberry birthday cake is the best cake Ive ever had. Im not even really a sweets person but its so bright and fluffy. My birthday was a few days ago now and its still holding up well in my fridge. I cant believe Ive walked by this local gem so many times!

The cakes are sooooo good! You can order a whole cake or come and get slices at the store. Cash or check only, so heads up. They also serve coffee (espresso) and they have some cupcakes and cookies to choose from. We always get the White Chocolate Strawberry cake, and its amazing. 👍👍 Theyre closed on Mondays, so plan accordingly when ordering a whole cake for a birthday or a party. I believe they need at least two days notice to make the cake. If you call and talk about what you need, theyre super helpful in helping you figure everything out.

Cash only. Cake was alright but felt like it was frozen then thawed.

I may be biased because I work here, but the best cakes in town! You can order cakes by the slice, you can call to order a whole cake, but they only do whole cakes for pre-order, so make sure you order in advanced! No vegan options. Cash or check only! No cards and no venmo/cashapp/google pay/etc.

I really like this store!! Great services and price is reasonable and amazing. I will come back and highly recommended this.

I think its good, but over hyped. Taste is similar with cakes from QFC. Expensive and they only take cash.

This is tiny place.They have a few of cakes,some muffins,cookies.Im fool so I just had a cupcake.That was so delicious.Im sure this is definitely better than other famous bakery.

Utterly delicious. Was there everyday for my short stay in Seattle.

Really good slice of cake

The cakes are out of this world. If you have a sweet tooth this place is a mustttttt!

Alright I took a little bite before snapping the photo but just look at the decadence on this blueberry lemon cheesecake, its lovely, Im withholding a star only because its a CASH ONLY place, a bit jam packed plus the coffee wasnt as good as the dessert but still an enjoyable experience for sure.

Some of the best cakes Ive ever had. You have to pay *cash* or check. They have their regular cake options (strawberry white chocolate cake, birthday cake, red velvet and many chocolate options). They also serve some delicious cheesecake options (the Baileys one is my favorite). I visit SD at least twice per month to satiate my sweet tooth.

First time here! Delicious!

Amazing cakes, but horrible business model/, customer service. I dont care how delicious your cakes are, only accepting cash/check is limiting your business. Whats more annoying than that is when they say they open at noon and showing up at noon to pick up a slice or two right when they open only to find out they dont have slices or cakes available whatsoever. Because to them opening time just means the time they start baking even though if you ask every other bakery or restaurant for that matter that ever existed, open means you have product to sell your customers. Try waking up early to bake and have actual cake ready to go like every other bakery on the planet.

White chocolate strawberry cake...omg...it was heavenly sweet

The best cake, I always end up getting the same flavor every time because its perfect. The strawberry cake is like a vanilla/white chocolate with fresh strawberries between the cake layers. Lots of frosting inside. The frosting that covers the cake is like straight up buttery white chocolate, thick and creamy. They are still cash or check only but its worth it. There is a Bank of America ATM across the street or PCC around the corner.

Checked on Google, theyre open so I drove from far away, got there, they didnt have the cake size I was looking for. Thats reasonable, so I decided to go for the slices. They only accept cash or checks 🤔. With this covi 19 stuff I dont carry cash around anymore so I was not able to buy anything 😔. Im giving them 3 starts because the place smell amazing so maybe theyre delicious cakes ... their location is super inconvenient because there is not free parking around. So if you have cash and are walking or youre willing to walk for quite some time or have the time then sure give them a try, they seems nice.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I ordered a half sheet cake for my husband and 14 year old daughters birthday. They called to let me know it was available to pick up at which time they asked if they could cut it. I have bought many cakes for birthdays here and have never been asked that. I began to better understand their question at which point I realized they messed up my order and made me a small cake instead of a large cake. Instead of taking responsibility, fixing my order, and apologizing the woman on the phone blamed me for their mistake and honestly bullied me on the phone. I asked to speak to a manager at which point she refused and stated I could talk to her instead. Honestly, worst service I have ever had in my life and I will NEVER buy a cake there again. If you need a cake for a birthday don’t trust this small business! Oh, and now I have to rush to find a cake. Thanks Simply Deserts for your epic fail!

Awesome red velvet cake

Cash only place but remember to support small business, there cakes are unbelievably delicious and the staff is very friendly definitely a spot to go visit

The icing and decorations looked like a child had scrawled happy birthday. The cake and filling were mediocre flavor and possible have the entire family mild good poisoning. Very disappointing overall.

Cute little cake place. Love this small mom & pop shops. We got the lemon & blueberry cake as well as lemon cheesecake. Both were very good. Just FYI its a cash only location. Kind of a pain to have to go back out into the rain to get cash but I like supporting small businesses

So many amazing cakes. The lemon blueberry is to die for.

Stopped by Simply Desserts with my boyfriend on our way to a concert. We were excited by the selection, especially in the evening. I had the Lemon Coconut Cake and he ordered the Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake. We nailed it, and so did they! Neither was too sweet, so it was a perfect way to finish our meal.

Rich, luxurious slices of cakes! SUCH a perfect casual evening dessert place

Inconsistent hours and inconsistent options.

Went there after dinner a few days ago. We got a piece of birthday cake, red velvet, and chocolate peanut butter. The red velvet and choc peanut butter were very moist and tasty, the birthday cake was a little dry and tasted like pure sugar. The place was very small, as one might expect from fremont. Overall was good and would likely go back to try so more different cakes. Keep in mind it is CASH ONLY and we are talking about $5+ per slice of cake.

This is my favorite bakery for cake. I swear by the strawberry but there are no wrong choices.

I enjoyed my slice here mainly because it reminded me of the cakes me and my mum used to make together when i was little. the cakes look decadent, but had more of a homebaked taste, which i really enjoyed as sometimes when i treat myself to cake it can be too rich or heavy.

Its the first time Ive ever had one of those brownie chocolate chip cookies that really delivers, and the prices are unbelievably good.

A small, cozy place. I used to come here and study. I really like there cake ❤️❤️❤️

My daughter got a white chocolatestrawberry cake and it was PERFECT. Thestrawberries layered inside brought a sweet lightness that was a perfect balance to the dense rich cake and frosting. This was an amazing cake that made me feel like I was enjoying the most beautiful homemade cake.Homemade on another level. WowWe ate so much cake we skipped dinner.Wouldnt recommend that, but nevertheless we did. I will be back for every birthday and holiday.

This place is absolutely fantastic. Easily the best classic american cakes in the city. With the incredible rise in specialty boutique bakeries in Seattle from the cupcakes craze to the the modern fusion bakeries a place that makes an otherworldly chocolate cake or sublime red velvet cake is entirely welcome. In all seriousness though the Red velvet cake will change your world.

We just called in and talked to someone rather unpleasant, she was sarcastic and rude! Really unexpected and kind of disheartening. We just wanted cake haha! We were asking if it was possible to come in (amid the COVID stuff because a lot of places are call in and pick up) and she mocked us and promptly hung up! Not sure about the cake because we decided not to go after that experience!

Very nice rich chocolate flavored cakes. Im quite impressed. Cakes could use less sugar though. Or they should offer less sweet versions of it maybe. Still, very nice almost europeanesque style cakes.

The worst strawberry cake I have ever had. The cake was hard as a brick and super doughy. The frosting was coming apart in pieces. The lemon blueberry cake wasnt the best either. Very dry and gritty. I was happy to go to an atm and pay cash but definitely not worth the effort.

Ordered a full chocolate ganache for a birthday. Delicious, rich, moist. Deducting a star for a bakery’s review because they’re cash only is silly

The cake is amazing. I had raspbery chocolate and it was rich, creamy and not too sweet. I look forward to trying all the other cakes. My only issue is that this place is cash and check only. In this day and age it isnt at all difficult to get square and be able to take cards.

Bought Chocolate Truffle cake for a birthday, $50. For the amount of positive reviews, I expected better. The cake was dry and could have used a soak, the rosettes were rushed and not uniform, the layers were uneven, they were late and I had to wait past my pickup time. The cake felt rushed and I would have rather saved $30 and bought something at Safeway. Didn’t help the birthday girl works with cakes, whoops. Won’t go back.

Good place to get ripped off. The cake is great but they will cut you the smallest slice and charge you full price for it. If you inquire as to why it’s half the size of every other time you have visited, they will tell you it’s your problem and ask you to leave. Cake is great, customer service, not so much. Make sure you see what you get before you pay.

Oh WOW!! This little shop has decadent desserts. We enjoyed the chocolate cake and red velvet cake. They were melt in your mouth delicious! We also had an americano, fabulous. If it would have been appropriate to hug the young man behind the counter to show our appreciation we would have. I wish we had one of these in my neighborhood!

After walking past this place for years, I finally stopped in to today, and what a disappointment. Incredibly ordinary chocolate cake for $5 a slice. Barely any frosting on the side or middle. Not very chocolate-ty tasting. I think they are skimping on frosting and chocolate to save money. Don’t waste your money. Walk down the block to PCC. Get a slice of the Parisian Star (I think that’s the name) cake. A smaller slice but amazing quality. It actually tastes like chocolate. I feel like brushing my teeth to get the aftertaste of this cake out of my mouth.

Small place, cash only, really good selection of cakes. The cakes dont blow your mind per se, but they are good. I could probably make something similar with 4-5 hours on a Saturday and the right ingredients, or I could just spend $5-6 and get a reasonably-sized slice of cake from here instead.

Great Red Velvet and Birthday cakes. A must try is their espresso float. Vanilla ice cream with shots of espresso, almost an affogato. Hooray for Simply Desserts for bringing it into my life. The staff is super nice.

One of my absolute favorite places for cake. I love the birthday cake!!!!

Several of the best cakes Ive ever had. Delicious cream cheese frosting on the red velvet. Chocolate white chocolate is our all time favorite.

Small cute place thats great for a quick cookie or brownie! One of the best cookie Ive had, and for a very reasonable $2.15. Super recommended!

Best cakes in Seattle. Ive loved every kind Ive tried, and thats probably been most of them. Cash or check only.

Came in for some late night dessert and we were loving. We had the chocolate/white chocolate cake.It was great until I found a strand of hair in it. Took it back to the waitress and she offered another slice but since it was cut from the same pie I declined. She said sorry and that’s all...No refunds or other cakes were offered. Kind of disappointed but it is what it is....

The place that time forgot. Great food, amazing prices, harking back to the old Seattle days. If you havent been, you mad.P.S. cash only.

May 8th pm we were rudely informed they were cash and check only. Put a sign on the door rather than acting annoyed that anyone should obliviously walk in. What started as a fun adventure into Seattle for a specialty product ended in a reminder on moody Seattleites.

Disappointed with their customer service

Odd ‘cash or check only’ policy that they greet customers with. Cakes ok but not well presented on cardboard plates.

Amazing macaroons and tomorrow Im going back for that pecan pie cuz oh boy that looked amazing

Best cake in Seattle. Possibly the best commercial cake in the state. We dont eat cake anywhere else, unless I baked it. I particularly like the chocolate caramel.

Cake options were okay. Cake was mediocre. People that worked there were not that friendly. There was so apology for no public restrooms. It was definitely on par with having cake at a typical restaurant. Pass.

The staff is so nice and friendly 😊 and of course the desserts and coffee are delicious. Best cakes in Seattle!

I love their strawberry short cake!!!!!And yes they dont take credit cards, and yes there is limited (like...12 seats)) seating place...and yes parking is a b****...but when the craving hits you, its like you gotta have it.

Always fresh always delish!! This is the cake place in Seattle if you ask me, they always have a wide variety and will do custom cakes when ordered.

Chocolate cake was good, not great but good. 930pm on a Tuesday was denied coffee as their espresso machine had been shut down already 30 prior to closing.

Chocolate truffle cake was great but a little bit too sweet for me.

I went to Simply Desserts to buy a cake for my wifes birthday tonight. there was an uncut chocolate raspberry cake at 4.85 a slice so I did the math and figured why not. They WOULDNT sell me the cake!! I could get half the cake, but not both halves. I wasnt asking for a discount or expecting one. I just needed a cake. Simply STUPID. $68 dollar sale out the window. WTF? I felt like I was in the scene where Jack Nicholson wanted toast but couldnt get it and had to order a chicken sandwich instead.

We got two different slices and disliked both, only took a few bites. Cake part was dry, definitely seemed old. Whipped filling tasted good. Top frosting tasted terrible and had a very strange aftertaste.

Great service! Incredible cakes! favorites are the white chocolate & strawberry cake and the berry cheese cake. What cakes are meant to be - the real deal!!!

Best cake in Seattle! Chocolate fudge is super good and so are the black bottom cupcakes!

I am not a cake person but these cakes make me swoon! I have tried 5 different varieties and they all were amaxing!

Horrible cake and horrible cookies - fresh out of the frozen section in any grocery store!!!! Some chocolate chips covered in cake that tasted like baking soda no flavor at all. The place is a hole in the wall, no washrooms two tables and you are served on paper plates for the price you pay they can at least have regular porcelain dishes. Will never go there again and tell everyone I know how horrible it is.

Delicious cake. One of the best in Seattle.

Best cake in the whole world. Weve been going here for over 25 years. Hundreds of slices of cake and zero disappointments! Frosting is to die for.

This place is super cute. It is on the top floor of the supermarket. We tried the bora bing su. They give you a lot of the purple sauce. I learned that bora means purple in korean! The presentation was super cute as you can see from my pictures. I do think the bing su is really pricey given other prices give you a way bigger portion for the same price. However, the ice was so milky and perfect. I couldnt get enough!

Small store but huge flavor in the desserts, loved every bite!

Perfect cakes; dont miss the bitter-sweet hazelnut!

Always partial to the chocolate truffle cake, or the chocolate caramel cake, but tonight its the bittersweet chocolate hazelnut cake for the win

No contest best cake in Seattle. No thrills, no major branding, but dont be confused- all the investment is in the cake itself and you can taste it.

Very kind people. great, fast service

Its great! Not cheap, but some of the best cake in town.

Im doing well I am happy and complete.

Strawberry cake is excellent

Tiny place and cash only, but the cheesecake was delicious!

Unprofessional service, so sad.

Best dessert in town

The Best Delicious cakes you can ever eat !!!! Wonderful !!!!
