Cake Meet Me Patisserie — Restaurant in Bellevue

Don’t even know where to start, the artistry put into the delicious pastries and desserts for exceeded any expectations I had. The flavors were divined, and they were the perfect amount of sweetness all around. The texture of the croissants was incredible and I noticed that they used premium flour from France because they display that in front of the store at the bottom shelf right when you walk in. The bottom of the croissants are usually oily and buttery, and this one was not at all. The layer of croissants were beautiful when I cut it in half.

I got all four of the cakes just so I can try it out and see which one is delicious. The black Sesame had the subtle sweetness from the cream, the prices are on the higher end due to the quality, but it is well worth and I will definitely come back.

However, the price point—around $13 for a small cake—and the lack of parking are drawbacks. If you need parking, I recommend using the nearby library parking lot and walking over.

That said, the store interior is clean, the displays are stylish, and the cake packaging is excellent, which adds to the...

Perhaps it's 'Cream Meet Me'??

Yes the cakes are cute, the croissants look great, and they aren't overly sweet, but...

...the cakes are so full of cream that I the real cake became secondary, my mouth was filled with cream.

The croissants are a bit better, but in order to keep the cream chilled, the croissants are also served cold. There's not much buttery flavor left. You really can't have the best of both worlds in this case.

Last but not least, a drink and a $13 small piece of cake push the grand total to $20 a person including tax, before you throw in the tips... If you're tipping yourself for picking up the food and cleaning up after yourself.

It's going with the cute, fancy dessert route but doesn't work for me. Not a concern for the shop given the high income earners within the...
