I didnt know anything about this bakery, until I noticed a long line of people waiting outside the front entrance. I gave it a try and this is the best decision I made today. Their whiskey truffles are godsend from heaven. It has a rich flavor, from the combination of dark chocolate and truffles, but not too oily or greasy. I will definitely come back some other time to try the rest on their menu.
This is one of the best bakeries I have ever been to. Everything we got was delicious. The basque cheesecake was so light and airy. It was the first time I ever tried that style of cheesecake. First time trying kouign-amann too. I never see anything like this where I live! Maybe I’m not looking in the right places.
I recognized this place from a bunch of Instagram posts and we stopped to try it. We ended up here at like noonish which is apparently late in the day so we couldnt have all of their offerings.We got the durian puff, the curry potato tart and whatever cookie they were offering.No complaints about any of the food but I sure would like to try their whole menu someday!
Followed them for years and met them at a market. So delicious and delighted they have a store front. I recommend first time visitors to check out their menu and IG. I ordered Pâte à Choux Durian, Basque Cheesecake slice, Chocolate Hazelnut tart and Salted dark chocolate chip cookie. Everything was delicious! Id go back for their pâte à choux (try any if avaliable) and the cookie. Their cheesecake is my type, simple, creamy and a nice thick slice. I also got their Vietnamese coffee as an iced latté (very good coffee bean dont walk away without trying this). Loved anything with gold leaf garish too.
Great dessert place, we really love the cheesecake and whisky truffles. BUT the waiting line is CRAZY. We’ve been here couple times, and had to wait almost every time even when there are not that many people. The most recent time, we arrived right before it opened, and waited for almost two hours. There were lots of people, but the major problem was that they were sooooo SLOW. Only two people to handle introducing varieties of dessert/checking out/packing food/organizing counter/etc….. It could have been improved. Overall, awesome pastry only if you are patient.
Earth shatteringly delicious. You MUST go. They make stuff Ive never even heard of, and its always so delicious, you need to sit down to gather your strength. Seriously, the Thai iced tea and yuzu macaroons are ABSURD. Those little dark things... Ugh. I cant even. The curry beef sandwich was SO tasty. I ate this stuff hours ago and thinking about it has turned a faucet on in my mouth. Not going is doing yourself a disservice. Go now, and see what youve been missing.
The durian soft-serve was surprisingly great! I dont like the little bits of corn in the soft-serve, but it doesnt takeaway from how great this dessert is. I wish they start staying open for longer and on more days
Open 11a-3p Friday-Sunday. You can view the daily selection of pastries and cakes at the window and order at the door. They also have drinks and lunch specials. The durian puff pastry seems to be a popular item here. You can also bring your own Tupperware/containers if you want to help reduce waste 🙂
Update - lychee cream pana cotta reminded us of the ispahan desserts we had in Paris. So exquisite and delicious!Update - the orange cupcake - wow. The strawberry cream puff - wow. Just get everything on display; you won’t be disappointed. These are literally very special pastries that you won’t find anywhere else around the world, trust me. It is such an underrated gem in Seattle.Update - the durian ice cream took my breath away. The edible flowers and sweet corn were a graceful touch. Recommend.This place is the TRUTH. Every pastry they have sold there is DELICIOUS and true edible work-of-art! I am originally from Malaysia. Chef Kai is really doing our culture justice and it sounds silly, but tears of pride were streaming down my face when I bit into the durian pâte à choux.I have tried many of their pastries in the past two weeks (lol), and the show-stealer is definitely the DURIAN PATE A CHOUX!!! Definitely get this if you dont get anything else. The taste of durian is so subtle and not overwhelming at all, especially to people who are new to the world of durian. It was a fusion of ice cream and puff pastry.The next best thing is the kouign-amann. Very crunchy and heavily caramelized. Delicious. Still good the next day!Fantastic job to the chef(s). These pastries are as good, if not better, as the ones I have tried in Paris.Get here early before opening (11 AM) because there will be a line! They sell out quickly.
Hands down the best dessert place in town ! this is what ive ordered- Durian puff- Cookie- Caramelized croissantThe durian puff blew me away, its sweet and flavorful, the cookie is sweet and salty at the same time, the texture of the body is perfect, lastly the caramelized croissant, its my favorite out of them all, sweet and crunchy exterior with soft and flavorful center. I need somebody to keep me away from this place.
Best desserts in Seattle! Just get there early if you have your heart set on a specific item.
Exciting, new dessert/bakery place in the Chinatown-International District in Seattle.We tried couple of their bakery sweets, the highlights were the lemon bar and kouign-amann.The lemon bar had a lovely lavender scent to it, not too strong and just enough to entice the flavor buds. And you can REALLY taste the lemon, sour at first then sweet throughout.The kouign-amann we had was great as well, usually they are soggy or dried out over time, but this one was coated with sugar evenly all aroundto make it crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.Really casual to visit, you can browse what is for sale on the bar through the window, and then walk up to order from the sidewalks. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for some sweets after you had some dimsum!
This bakery has spoiled me in the food medium known as baked goods. The flavors and spices of these treats gave an experience like no other. With my food palate redefined I now have a new stamdard when consuming sweets. You will find none better than here.
No combination of words can describe how authentic and delicious this place is / chef and k**** are delightful people, too
Really nice place for French/SE Asian desserts and pastries. Once people can start sitting in cafes without many restrictions, I know itll be a great place to visit. They have done a really nice job with the interior design. I visited on a Friday afternoon an hour before closing so they did not have much left, but what I did get was excellent. I got a rye kouign amann and a hazelnut chocolate chunk cake slice. The kouign amann is probably the crunchiest version Ive encountered with a super thick caramel crust on the top and nice sweetness throughout. The hazelnut chocolate cake slice was also delicious with a nice balance of both flavors. I hope to return soon to try more of their offerings!
Just happened to stroll by their shop and stumbled upon their amazing desserts. bought three items - each different than the other but all equally delectable! highly recommended.
Nice flavors, including durian. Long (50 minute) line. Alas, they ran out of the Basque cheesecake just before I got to order.
A masterclass in flavors. Our go-to place for pastries and desserts in Seattle. Love their Durian flavored choux, financiers and ice cream as they are not only unique but one of the best tasting desserts we have ever had. Highly recommended!!
One of my favorite places for dessert in Seattle! They’re always coming up with fun new flavors.
Probably the most underrated bakery / dessert place in Seattle. Right from the markets, Susu has known how to get amazing flavors and their store is no different. Of course their sweet pastries are great but dont miss the kimchi scone - so soft and flavorful. Get a sampling of things and enjoy!
Oh my gosh this place is AMAZING stopped by accident looked interesting and let me tell you you will be hard pressed to find a unique not expensive shop like this with AMAZING quality.
A quiet little shop hidden in the ID with OUT OF THIS WORLD FOOD. I cannot begin to explain how delicious these desserts are. Highly recommend trying out their Durian Puffs!!!
Amazing baked goods, soft serve, and service! I especially appreciate the artistry🎨 & flavor profiles.
Still dreaming about the basque cheesecake. It is my go to dessert treat and I definitely want to try their savory lunch options and Thai iced tea!
Their whiskey truffles are the bomb dot com
Simply amazing.
Amazing.
