Hiroki

My visit to Hiroki Bakery was lovely. It’s a cozy spot in Seattle with a calm, welcoming atmosphere. I tried their green tea tiramisu, and it was excellent — not too sweet, with a smooth, balanced matcha flavor that really stands out. I also had their chocolate cake, which was rich, moist, and perfectly chocolatey without being heavy. You can tell everything is made with care and quality ingredients. The staff were friendly, and the overall experience felt relaxed and enjoyable. Hiroki is a great place to stop if you’re looking for thoughtfully made desserts with a Japanese touch.

i ordered a small cake for my boyfriend’s birthday to finally have a chance to try this place out, and i can say this is one of the best cakes i’ve ever had. not too sweet/overbearing and definitely one to savor as you take each bite. i got lucky with the quick turnaround (called on friday for a sunday pickup), but the owner recommends to give at least a week’s notice for future cake orders. can’t wait to come here again sometime and get cake for my friends and loved ones to try!

I found this café while searching on Google for a bakery that serves matcha cake. Unfortunately, they didn’t have matcha cake when I arrived, so I ordered a Hojicha cake, along with a 16oz hot latte with whole milk and a large hot chocolate with almond milk instead. The cake had a fine, smooth texture and a very rich flavor — the kind you need to savor slowly, bite by bite. The latte art was impressive, and the barista clearly knew their craft — the milk foam was silky and fine, and there wasn’t even a sound of the pitcher hitting the cup while steaming. The coffee had a bold, slightly bitter note up front, then mellowed out beautifully — perfectly matching the café’s calm, relaxing atmosphere. There are about five tables in the shop, which gives it a cozy and intimate feel. The barista, who also worked the cashier, was very friendly and attentive. Prices are standard, and overall, it’s definitely worth a visit.

They have different types of original cheese cakes such as green tea cheese cake, Sakura or houji-cha cheese cake, as well as Coconut Dacquoise roll. Soft, equisite, and delicious pastries melt in your mouth with each bite. The price is high, and the interior isn't anything special. It's worth to taste their pastries at least once if you never tried them before, but I wouldn't come back.

A small dessert and coffee shop with very delicious cakes, cheese cakes and coffee offerings. The cheesecakes are fairly sweet - more designed for the American taste, but still very delicious. They have quite a large parking lot, so don’t hesitate to drive here and spend some time enjoying a tasty treat with a good cup of coffee.

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 the cheesecake!

Excellent friendly service and delicious treats and drinks. Great music and atmosphere and best of all, affordable!

Be sure to place an order because the cakes sell out fast. This Japanese style cakes are delicate, fluffy and not too sweet. Will be back again to try other flavors. Also, they have reserved parking for Hiroki.

Hiroki is a cute little cafe. I've had it bookmarked for a bit because I love a cute cafe. I think it's well suited as a neighborhood cafe. I got the matcha tiramisu, which is pricy and quite frankly for me wasn't really worth the cost but it's also not something I would make myself. The flavor felt rather heavy on the cheese which makes sense given the type of cake but not what I was expecting. As a dessert it wasn't too sweet and I found that between the latte and the cake, they were on similar levels. By default, the latte is hot. They do charge more for alternative milk and serving it iced which I found a bit unusual. I wasn't particularly wow-ed but it wasn't bad. Overall I wasn't overly impressed but it's a cute cafe with unique enough servings. They are also able to cater to a Japanese clientele (shout out to the staff member who could speak Japanese and made sure that the group before me got their drinks)

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 Cheesecake though.

Amazing pastries. Had their chestnut pastry that had a candied chestnut on top, with no very sweet icing strings over a small cake. It was amazing. They had a few creative cheesecakes that I want to go back for. Quaint little shop with a small parking lot next to it.

Hiroki is a cute little Japanese cake and pastry cafe in the Wallingford neighborhood. It's a quaint spot with only a few seats, but isn't usually too busy. It would be a good spot to study in or a cute date spot. We ordered the strawberry shortcake and matcha tiramisu. The strawberry shortcake was delicious. Perfectly light but not too sweet, with thick layers of fresh cream. The matcha tiramisu was just okay; it wasn't as creamy as I would've liked it and the matcha flavored tasted a bit off -- maybe not an optimal pairing with mascarpone cheese? We also ordered a chai latte, which came in a giant cup with very cute latte art. They also serve other pastries like scones, puddings, and cream puffs. I'll have to some of the other desserts and cake flavors another day. There is one single stall restroom that is very clean. There is a small parking lot outside with free parking.

Ahhhhh cheesecakes have been ruined for us. Hiroki has one of the best we've ever had! We drove over to this cafe because I wanted to visit one of the bookstores near them (The Wise Owl Books and Music). We were able to find street parking, though I'm not sure if there are times when no parking is available (they're located near residential, so there's a lot of residents trying to park. Staff was great! It wasn't crazy busy in the shop, but it was a steady stream of customers coming in and out of the shop. It seems that a lot of customers do order ahead of time for events, and there were a few pickup orders when we were there. When we came by, it was in the afternoon, so they didn't have too much left. But, we were able to try out one of the basque cheesecakes and a few drinks. Drinks were good, and paired great with the cheesecakes. But the basque cheesecake was divine! I think hubby loved it more than I did, but he was definitely a very happy person when munching on it. We'll have to come back!

The hubby was craving some Coffeeholic so I was tasked with finding dessert. I happened to stumbled upon Hiroki and I knew we had to check it out! Review Time: AMBIANCE/LOCATION: For parking, there's a small parking lot right next to the store. I would say there's like 6 or so parking spots available. The shop is small and quaint with a few tables to eat in the back. STAFF/SERVICE: The owner (I'm assuming) was working the register. She was nice and super helpful answering all my questions. FOOD: Green Tea Tiramisu - the owner said this was her most popular item and I can see why! I feel it could use smidget more matcha, but it was still light and tasty! Gateau Basque - you had me sold at butter cake! Out of the 3 cakes, my least favorite. But it was still delicious nonetheless. The other ones were just more flavorful. Sakura Cheesecake - Sooooo good! The raspberry puree + salted cherry blossom = chef's kiss. I loved this cake, but forewarning it IS a seasonal item! Honey Cheese Mango Pudding - I was really hoping to get the cheesecake form; however it was already sold out. The pudding was good, but definitely think I would have liked the cheesecake more. Orange Chocolate Chip Cookie - I can appreciate the subtle hint of orange throughout the cookie. Overall a good cookie, but nothing like "oh my gosh best cookie ever." RECOMMEND? Yes! I would definitely come back especially since they have seasonal items! The cakes were light and tasty and addicting. I couldn't put my fork down until i ate 3/4 of each cake haha

Cutest little japanese dessert shop. The matcha tiramisu had a spongecake layer instead of lady fingers and I really liked it. A very strong matcha flavor and super light and whipped cream. Super cozy inside with lots of seats.

Such goodies! yummy baked goods, with a Japanese flair. The drinks are good The staff are pleasant This is a great neighborhood spot

Cute small little bakery/coffee shop with interesting pastry flavors! When I arrived at opening on a Sunday morning, the line was already almost out the door. Service is a little slow but friendly Came here for specifically for the green tea tiramisu and it did not disappoint, very creamy. The basque chocolate was also very creamy, thick, and chocolatey

Hiroki is located within a quaint little shack. There is parking close to the main entrance. The slices were tasty, just a bit underwhelming. I believe we ordered the mango, hojicha, and green tea cheese cake with two espresso shots. All tasty, just not as mind blowing as I would have expected. The espresso shots were a bit too bitter, I'd recommend them to make the grinds a bit courser for a more palatable taste.

This was really a cute spot! The dessert I had was excellent and the tea was very tasty too. There's a few small tables in back to dine in and the servers were really kind.

I really wanted to love them, but these were the most expensive and mediocre cakes I've ever had. At $8 a slice, I was hoping for something mind-blowing. Instead, I got something meh overall. - Franzipane - almond cake w/ black plum: 1.5/5: dry dense crumb, sweet plum but no depth, and an interesting caramelized top: I'd pass on this one. - Honey cheese mango: 2/5: if only it tasted as good as it looked! It was like a custard with a fair amount of gelatin, with an even and creamy texture and very subtle flavors. - Green tea tiramisu: 3.5/5: the best of the bunch. I personally still prefer more sponge to my cake but the elements were executed very well: fluffy light moist cake topped by a mousse with a very light green tea flavor. Not too sweet. These cakes were aesthetic and high quality, they just weren't to my taste. I think a lover of mousse cakes would be in heaven. They have a fine parking lot out front with cafe-like tables and chairs in their small interior.

I ordered a whole cake for my husband's birthday. We are a bit picky with cakes (we don't like icing) so I ordered this mango cheesecake. It was perfect. Good mango flavor and very light cheesecake underneath. It was delicious. The message cookie was a separate charge.

This was one of my stop for some cakes sampling and it definitely has one of my favorite cakes. The place was small but quaint and clean. The people there are super nice and knowledgeable The guy asked me if it was my first time here and then gave me a bunch of suggestions and then even gave me a free honey mang pudding cup to try for my birthday :) I got the 2 popular cakes there: - matcha tiramisu - mousse cake like texture, soft, flavors are distinct, not too sweet - gateau -- OMG, this was really good. It was nostalgic and tasted amazing. - honey mango pudding - kinda too soft but very mango-y The price is a little high for the size but I guess the quality does compensate for it. Overall, really good bakery

Omfg the best mtgfkin cheesecake I've had in like 20 years wtffff not what I was expecting from this cute little shop with 8ish parking stalls. And that cheesecake is offered in hoji flavor, drool. Get you here, stat. No cap..or whatever the kids say

3.5 stars. Dropped by 3PM on a Friday and picked up matcha tiramisu and hojicha cheesecake, priced at $8 a slice. The interior was clean and staff was considerate--for the person ahead of me, he offered to keep their to-go slice in the fridge while they enjoyed their drink. The slices were beautiful to look at but I think the price point is a bit high. The matcha tiramisu was fluffy in texture and moist but the matcha flavor was light. For the hojicha cheesecake, the hojicha flavor was strong but the flavor combination with the cream cheese wasn't one I personally enjoyed. It was also quite a thick texture, even for cheesecake. Both slices were a nice level of sweetness.

Best cheesecake I've ever had hands down. Everything was almost sold out when I got there. I wanted 2 Mango but they only had one left by the time I was next to order. Did I mention the line was around the corner. Sheesh. I originally waited a good 10 minutes before trying to wait in line but more people kept showing up. Fast forward, it was love at first bite. I can't wait to go back for more. And I want to bring people. They have to try this. Game changer.

A very cute local own cafe that has great japanese inspired desserts/treats. It is close proximity to Greenlake so you can grab a coffee at the cafe and walk around the lake on a nice afternoon. The employees were very nice and welcoming to their cafe. There is plenty of seating to sit and enjoy your cakes and coffee. The matcha tiramisu was very delicious. It was the perfect amount of matcha. A good balance of sweet and bitter. The strawberry shortcake was also good. But i liked the matcha more. The strawberry gave a more artificial strawberry taste. The cake part of these treats were immaculate. It was so fluffy and just melts in your mouth! I would totally come back for the matcha treats because they are very well balanced.

I picked up matcha tiramisu and hojicha cheesecake for my husband's birthday and was pleasantly surprised! We especially liked the hojicha cheesecake - despite being a cheesecake, it was quite light and had a strong hojicha flavor! The perfect amount of creaminess and sweetness! The matcha tiramisu could have had a stronger matcha flavor, but was also light and delightful. The service was quite friendly as well! It's a small cafe that is hard to miss but definitely worth a visit!

Wow! Hiroki's cakes are so aesthetic. There are not many businesses specializing in Asian cake. I like how they sell singular slices so you can try many different flavors. I got the tiramisu and matcha cakes. Both had the perfect cake and cream ratio and sweetness was balanced. Matcha was nice and earthy and the tiramisu was rich with balanced espresso cocoa notes. It's nice the business has a parking lot so you don't have to worry about street parking. Service was standard and quick. Just one star off for the price of cakes as it can add up quickly. Overall must visit if you're looking for Japanese- inspired cakes!

Cute spot in Wallingford! The mango cheesecake was absolutely delicious, and the texture was wonderful. It was definitely a little expensive for sure, but definitely worth a visit for a special treat!

I ordered 4 slices each of honey mango cheesecake, chocolate gateaux, souffle cheesecake to have the equivalent of a full cake. The honey mango is light and full of mango flavor. The choc is rich but light. The soufflé cheesecake is like a Japanese cheesecake. The next day the soufflé cheesecake became a bit heavy. Full cakes and phone orders should be preordered days in advance but the cashier asked for approval to take my "day before" order for slices. This place is located in the Meridian neighborhood on Wallingford that has a few tiny businesses.

My kids & I really love this place. Their drinks are great & so as their cakes. Service is amazing. Place is nice and cozy

hi duckies! we found this hidden gem on yelp bc it's not on google maps... it's SO GOOD! we got the hojicha iced latte, hojicha cheesecake, and matcha ice cream. let's start off with the okay: we were not a big fan of the cheesecake, it was lacking in the hojicha flavor. but the hojicha latte is INSANE!! we got it iced with whole milk and the flavor is super complex and nutty. the sweetness is just right, and complements the hojicha perfectly. we are now fans of their latte mix and got a bag to make some lattes @ home. the matcha flavor in the ice cream was outstanding, perfectly creamy, and not too sweet. there was a nutty, rich aftertaste that makes you want to take another bite... or twelve. got an 8oz cup of icecream to share, was the perfect amount. so good, and the ambience is great too. we will definitely be returning. duckies out!!

I've been eyeing Hiroki for a while but it takes a while to get there from Ballard with a bus, so I was happy that I finally made it when I was in the neighborhood for an errand. Specifically, I picked up a trash can at a house nearby, so I showed up at Hiroki with a trash can in hand. I thought there weren't that many selection of cakes but that may be because I arrived just after the opening time and some cakes were not ready yet. I had the mango cheesecake and the pudding - the cheesecake was around $8 which is pretty steep but what can I expect from a food place these days. The cheesecake was good but I probably won't go back for it. The pudding was also good, but I think I'll make it at home next time because I can.

When you crave for a really good matcha latte, you come to hiroki! I had been to Hiroki many years ago and then kinda forgotten about it since it's in green lake and I don't particularly frequent this neighborhood. More recently I was craving a good matcha latte and decide to come over. I got a latte and a seasonal cake - kabocha cheese cake! Both were exceptional and delicious. They have outdoor seating which made the experience perfect on a warm autumn day! Hiroki also takes full cheese cake orders for birthdays etc

I was so happy to find a legit Japanese bakery! I got the matcha tiramisu and it was amazing. The cake itself wasn't overly sweet, it had a rich cheese flavor and the matcha flavor was quite strong. It was perfect! It reminded me of all the cakes I used to eat when I lived in Japan. We also ordered some coffee which was only so-so, but the hojicha late was very good! I recommend going for the teas rather than coffee here. I definitely look forward to coming back again!

Solid Japanese dessert spot in Wallingford - I went here 15 minutes before closing and there were still sufficient slices of tiramisu, so I got one slice of the green tea tiramisu. Despite it being almost closing, it was still 100% packed so I had to get it to-go, but they do make great care in packing your order in the box. The tiramisu is fairly light and small, good enough for just one person. It is also not too sweet, which is my favorite level of sweetness. It is very creamy, almost overpowering the green tea flavor, but it was overall pretty decent. However, prices are high given quantity and to an extent, the quality, as it was $7.75 for the slice.

Spent some hours chatting with friends at this lovely cafe. The mango cheesecake was delicious and the service was great. I wish I lived closer so I could go more often. 10/10

If you're looking for a premium Japanese dessert shop, this is the place. I came here at ~4:30 pm, which was 30 min before closing. And they still had a pretty solid selection. Of course, no matcha cheesecake unfortunately. I got the mango cheese passion cake. It had a chocolate cake on the bottom. Which tasted like a burnt marshmallow. And the top was like a panna cotta with mango purée sauce. It was delicious and has a slight hint of passion fruit. It was a perfectly balanced and delicate dessert. Won't make you full too, which is a perk! Excited to come back and try their other desserts. It was tough enough to pick just 1.

Stopped by and got their cheesecakes which are my favorites. Also tried their kabocha spice latte added espresso shots. I was afraid it would be too sweet but actually not. Only a little bit of sweetness with cinnamon taste and I actually like it. Perfect for fall.

Note that Hiroki IS OPEN during COVID for TAKEOUT ONLY! They have a small, private, parking lot, making it easy to grab a slice of cake to-go! Hiroki is a small Japanese bakery tucked away in Meridian (the edge of Greenlake/Wallingford). They serve Japanese cakes, coffee, loose leaf tea and matcha, and pre-packaged pints of homemade ice cream with rotating flavors (last I went they had hojicha). You can also pre-order whole cakes. My family ordered a slice of the Mango Honey Cheesecake ($6.75) and a slice of the Gateaux Basque ($6.50). Each slice was almost a whopping $7, so we shared the two slices among the four of us. The Mango Honey Cheesecake has mango pudding (or mango mousse) layered on top of a light cheesecake with a soft chocolate crust. The Gateaux Basque has pastry cream with a flaky crust and almond topping. Both were very flavorful, but again very expensive. Service was good. The cashier was very friendly and knowledgeable about the cakes. She was also wearing a mask and gloves. Hiroki limits one party of customers at a time (with a limit of two people per party). They also have a sign requiring masks and social distancing. Overall: 4/5 for food, 4/5 for service, 5/5 for health and safety standards

Tried the matcha, soufflé, mixed berry and mango cheesecakes here. They were all so perfectly creamy and sweet (never overpowering the real flavor)! This place is tucked away in the small corner of a moderately crowded street, but don't dismiss it for it's a real gem! My ranking for the different cheesecakes I tried ( while they were all brilliantly done, one really stood out for me ...) #1 soufflé #2 matcha , mango (tied at #2, could not pick a favorite here) #3 mixed berry ( was great but quite tart)

Off the path little Japanese patisserie and lots of options for tea and lattes. I did takeout for the cakes but everyone inside was super nice. There is also a decent amount of tables inside, but seems like most people just take the cakes to go. I got the matcha tiramisu, chocolate cake, and the mango honey cheesecake. The matcha tiramisu (4/5) is probably their most popular item. It had matcha flavors but wasn't overly strong. It also wasn't super sweet which is great. The sponge cake was super light and airy. The chocolate cake (3/5) was very chocolate-y and rich, but I thought the cake was a bit dry. Not super sweet and had mostly the taste of bittersweet chocolate or dark chocolate. The mango honey cheesecake (3/5) sort of like a classic cheesecake with a twist of the mango in the flavoring. Overall pretty decent but wasn't a favorite. Next time I'll have to go try the soufflé cheesecake!

My partner surprised me with a Japanese mango cheesecake for my birthday from Hiroki. It was cute and delicious! I love that there is a pastry shop in Seattle that specializes in Japanese desserts. We couldn't finish the cake and threw it into the freezer, and it still held up nicely.

I have been transported back to Tokyo!!! The souffle cheesecakes are phenomenal at Hiroki! I often order a whole one for parties and get rave reviews for it. I've also ordered miscellaneous desserts if I don't get my order in time. Keep in mind they need at least 3 days advance notice when ordering the souffle cheesecake. Now about that souffle cheesecake, it is practically perfect! It is creamy and delicate. The space itself is small, but adequate for people just coming by for a snack and some coffee. They also have a private parking lot, which is appreciated. The staff are super friendly and helpful.

This tiny cafe is located in an old building, but that doesn't take away from the flavour bombs that are their cakes. Once asked, we were recommended to try out their honey mango cheesecake, or the green tea tiramisu. We got both, and have no regrets! The mango flavour was luscious with subtle hints of honey, complemented by the light cream cheese and dark crumbly base. We then had the green tea tiramisu and it took our breath away! Subtle flavours of green tea infused into the creamy layer, complemented by classic Japanese cake layers that are airy and fluffy. We got a classic hot latte to cleanse our palette in between these sweets, and that just helped us enjoy until the last bite.

We got the Honey Cheese Mango and it was very light and not too sweet. We also ordered their seasonal Pumpkin Spice Latte. We need to come back to try more of their cakes!

I had a whole soufflé cheesecake made for a birthday and it did not disappoint! Order and pick up was easy. Cute place and I want to try more things. Love a Japanese bakery because the flavors aren't too strong or sweet!

Such a cute little bakery/pastry shop! If my friend hadn't mentioned their matcha tiramisu, I wouldn't have been interested. So we went strictly for that, and MY GOODNESS was it worth the trip! When we visited on a Saturday afternoon, there were just 2 slices of their signature matcha tiramisu. So I got a slice and warm matcha latte. Their latte was sweet, but not too sweet. And the tiramisu - SO SOFT, so fluffy, smooth, hit the spot just right! Now I'm craving it and would go back to Seattle in a heartbeat just for this cake! My friend got the almond cheesecake - it was good, but it reminded me of a cherry taste, so not my cup of tea.

I stopped here to get a birthday treat for my wife and I have to say I was very pleased. Its a small shop with one person working the front so there can be a wait if they are making drinks. I got 5 different treats and was happy with all of them. We got Chestnut Mont Blanc- Mild flavor of the nuts. Soft texture but very tasty. Tiramisu- Not traditional style. Had a very mild coffee flavor. I could have used more of that espresso punch but still very delightful. Chocolate Gateau- This looks like its going to be a massive chocolate flavor but it was just right. Not too rich and just the perfect amount of chocolate Gateau Basque- My wifes favorite. The almond flavor was amazing. The texture was perfect. This one I will go back for Some sort of coconut roll-Cant remember the name of the last one we got but it also had mild but pleasant flavors. The person creating these tasty treats has a wonderful hand at keeping the balance of flavors so nothing is over powering. If your looking for a treat try to stop by.

This place is a cute little store tucked away in Wallingford. Theres a pretty sizeable parking lot for such a small store and just about 4 tables. They sell a wide variety of flavors for their cheesecake tiramisu cake and also the standard coffee selections. I wanted to try the matcha cheesecake tiramisu and it was absolutely delicious. The matcha is smooth, creamy, not too sweet and not powdery/grainy like many matcha products are. The cake part of the dessert was moist and also perfect. Absolutely loved this hidden gem and definitely would return

I used to live down the street from this lovely little place, but I never visited until last night. How dumb! It's a tasty street with Mighty O Donuts just a few doors down, but don't forget to keep walking to Hiroki. We ordered the green tea tiramisu and the New York cheesecake. I'm a huge cheesecake fan and figured I would prefer the New York, but it was, in fact, the green tea cake that made me happiest. I sometimes feel like we've reached peak green tea/peak matcha. This tiramisu provides evidence to the contrary. Like others have said, the sweetness level is perfect--you don't need an insulin shot after this dessert. The texture was great, too. The cake cut easily with a fork alone and then melted in my mouth. Creamy and delightful. The New York cheesecake was good, but just not best in class for cheesecakes of its sort, I'd say. If I could give a 4.5, I would--but I'm rounding up for the green tea cake. It was a snowy night with not much foot traffic, so it may not always be the case--but I also appreciated the peaceful and quiet atmosphere in this cafe. There are some lovely collages exhibited on the walls now, too, that were much better than your typical restaurant art. We looked at all the canvases like we were in a gallery.

5 stars for their Matcha cake is to die for, although a bit pricey. Light, airy, moist and not overly sweet. 3 star for their cheesecake items. I tried their cheesecake items (all of which were in the case that day) and sad to say that the cheesecake is very Americanized and rich (think cheesecake factory) as opposed to the light and airy type you find in Tokyo. 3 star for the chocolate cake. Dry, overly sweet and rich. 4 star for their Hojicha latte. Yum! Def helped wash everything down.

Soufflé cheesecake was so soft and melted in my mouth! Delicious it's nice how they have alternative milk options. The matcha flavour could have been a bit stronger, but was refreshing and smooth with no matcha clumps. The workers were very friendly. There's indoor seating, a couple outdoor seating and easy parking right outside.

Wow! Wow! Wow! The tiramisu is so decadent! I arrived here an hour before closing on a Saturday in November and there was a steady line of customers. One customer is allowed inside at a time due to COVID. The regular tiramisu ($6.50) has 2 layers of light sponge cake, 2 thick layers of mascarpone, and a generous covering of cocoa powder. The middle layer of sponge cake is soaked in alcohol. I felt like I was fine dining while I was eating this. It wasn't too sugary. I usually prefer tiramisu that is made with ladyfingers and sitting in a pool of alcohol. This is not that type of tiramisu, but I was certainly astounded by how much I enjoyed it. The green tea tiramisu ($6.95) was made similarly although with a green tea cream, no alcohol, and topped with a dusting of green tea powder. This was so well made that even though I don't love green tea, I loved this dessert. These are definitely the type of desserts you savor little by little because you want them to last forever. I also tasted the souffle cheesecake and it was light and delicious.

I'd like to update my review and give it a 5 star because I did decide to order a whole ny cheesecake for my boyfriend's birthday last year and our friends absolutely LOVED it. Yes the cheesecake price is a bit steep however it really does have such rich flavors and I haven't found another place quite like it. I've decided I'm going to order it again this year for his birthday :)

At $7 a slice, my expectations were fairly high but Hiroki didn't disappoint! We got a slice of their matcha tiramisu, which was soft, so smooth, and not too sweet. It was airier than your classic tiramisu, which I enjoyed! This wouldn't necessarily be my go-to given the price, but it's a great option as a light dessert to share with a friend or for a special occasion. The ambiance is homey and cozy, on a quiet street in Wallingford. I'll definitely be back to try their other desserts too!

Quality cakes! They taste amazing and have a great texture to them. I tried the chocolate basque cake and the soufflé cheesecake, both are not too heaving or too sweet! Cashier was very friendly and gave nice recommendations!
