Hiroki — Attraction in Seattle

I was originally in the area to meet for an early dinner with some friends. On route I spotted Hiroki and thought to myself ,"Hey that's been on my list of places to try for the longest time". I did what any reasonable person would and decided to grab some dessert to go for later...

Anywho, as soon as I popped in I spotted the items in the display case that I've been wanting to try. The Matcha Tiramisu, and the Hojicha Cheesecake. Ready for the actual reasonable decision? I got only one of the two items. :( Yep I decided on the Matcha Tiramisu. It was a light 4 layered treat. The top layer was of this matcha cream dusted with matcha powder. Laid on top a thin soaked layer of cake on top of another layer of that matcha cream on top of an unsoaked layer of cake.

Right off the bat, not too bitter or earthy. Not too sweet or dense. aesthetically pleasing. The interesting thing is that if you eat all 4 layers at the same time. The prominent flavor that comes through is the soaked layer of cake which then transitions to the Matcha. I found that I could enjoy the different dimensions by eating each layer alternately followed by all the layers at the same time. Overall quick process and enjoyed the dish. Definitely coming back for that Hojicha...

Okay - I love this place!!

I went by at 4 pm on a Sunday afternoon. It was quiet and no one else was there - and their offerings were limited - just a few of different options available. I tried their Soufflé cheesecake - it was amazing!! 😋🤩 This is my first time trying it and I’m a convert! It was delicious!! I am not a fan of the traditional cheesecakes as they’re too sweet for my taste. However these were perfect!! Just the right balance of sweet and smooth without being cloying or heavy!! Anyway, my point being - try their soufflé cheesecake - it is really yummy!

I also tried the iced Hojicha Latte with Oat milk - again, I was blown away - I really loved the beverage! It was cool and soothing on a hot day and paired really well with...

Oh my gosh the cakes are heavenly! I ordered three different cake slices and each one was so good. I had three servings of coffee in one day to have an excuse to eat the cakes (I like my coffee with cake 😁).

The cakes are beautiful to look at and scrumptious to eat. They make perfect gifts for friends and family (order four different slices and tie on a nice ribbon over the white carrying box = perfect gift), and awesome treat to yourself after a 4 mile walk around Greenlake 😉

Ample parking available if you decide to skip the exercise and head straight to rewarding yourself. Seating indoors is currently unavailable but you might get luck and be able to snag one of the two bistro tables set up outside.

Highly...
