LeTAO

LeTAO certainly has their aesthetic down. The store is very modern, clean, and welcoming. The counter and display cases showing off all their desserts is pretty cool. Each dessert is clearly crafted with artistic precision. It is Instagram-worthy and fits in perfectly in downtown Bellevue. The servers are very friendly and will offer you a sample of pretty much anything! In-store, I enjoyed a peach Hokkaido milk tea. I'd highly recommend it—full of peach and tea flavor with very rich milk—especially paired with one of their sweeter desserts. For me, that was the Mont Blanc soft serve, which I'd also say is a must-try. A lot of these bougie soft-serve places are over hyped, but the ice cream here is actually really light and delicious, and the chestnut topping is super unique. Though they're known for their cheesecake, my favorite to-go desserts are actually the mini Venezia—deeply flavorful and decadent—and the Royal Montague—full of chocolatey and floral flavors and truly melt-in-your-mouth (or anywhere, if you're not careful). The classic fromage double and chocolat double are good, but I enjoyed them best paired with some fruit or something else to bring some brightness to the palette. The Yuki Akari (a seasonal cheesecake) is really good (maybe because it already has big chunks of mandarin orange in it). The other cakes are good too, but just not quite my style. Overall, you're paying for the aesthetic of the store and the desserts more than their flavors. It's tasty, but given the price (about $45 for a 6" cheesecake), probably not somewhere I'll be coming back to very often.

Oh bougie bougie Bellevue. I’m going to tell you how to ROCK your visit to upscale LeTao, feeling comfy and confident in this CrazyRichAsians kinda setting. Prepare yourself - this is the kind of place that serves ice cream on china. First off, don’t even think of parking in the courtyard by the storefront entrance. Go straight to the parking garage n bring your ticket for validation cuz you have up to 4 hrs to dine n dash in this space. Once you walk in, bypass the cake display at the front, but DO grab yourself a sample as you head directly to the seating by the stairs. Smile as you peer from the table after ordering by scanning the QR CODE LIKE A PRO, and soak in the ambiance while waiting for your treats! Of course, we had to order the internet famous SIGNATURE MONT BLANC along with the SOFT SERVE SUNDAE (double cake Fromage and otaru rue Fromage cookie included). If you order from the table they do a lovely presentation at your seat, which service obviously reflects the $24 price for the vermicelli-like creation. My overall assessment? It’s pretty. And pretty PRICEY. It’s the kind of establishment that screams ELEVATED and DECADENT. BUT HOW WAS THE DESSERTS, you say? Honestly, I think it was kinda MEH. True, not overly sweet as expected from Japanese desserts, and very pretty looking - - but TASTE-Wise, it didn’t live up to the hype to me. The water chestnut strings seemed gimmicky, the soft serve forgettable. Definitely not worth the price. Is it IG worthy? Definitely! But will it have staying power? I think it’ll have its TikTok minute and true to the nature of anything “trendy”, interest will move on to the next “social media sensation.”

The cheesecake and soft serve are very good, recommend if you like japanese Hokkaido ice-cream! Mini venezia and cookies are average, do not recommend. Overall great atmosphere! Would come back again

LaTao is a premium Japanese cake shop that brings a taste of Hokkaido straight to the Pacific Northwest. Known for its elegantly crafted pastries and air-shipped desserts, this shop markets itself as a luxury experience—and it certainly delivers in presentation and service, though the price point and flavor profile may not be for everyone. Ambiance: 4.5/5 The space is clean, minimalist, and stylish—exactly what you’d expect from a high-end Japanese confectionery. Displays are immaculately arranged, and the packaging of each dessert adds to the premium feel. However, the seating area is limited, so it’s best suited for grab-and-go or special-occasion pickups. Authenticity: 4/5 The shop proudly advertises that its cakes are flown in directly from Japan, and you can tell in the texture and finesse. Each slice is incredibly delicate, with the characteristic lightness and richness found in Japanese-style cheesecakes and shortcakes. That said, the flavoring leans a little Westernized, especially the use of what tastes like molasses or syrup in the sweetener, which slightly throws off the finish. Flavor: 3.5/5 The cakes are soft, creamy, and well-balanced at first bite. However, the aftertaste includes a sour-sweet note that may come from additives like syrup or molasses instead of pure cane sugar. It’s subtle, but noticeable enough to affect the overall enjoyment for purists. Still, it’s clear the ingredients are of high quality and assembled with care. Service: 5/5 Service was excellent. Staff were courteous, knowledgeable, and attentive. After spending around $150 on cakes and pastries, we were given some samples to taste. A small but thoughtful gesture that elevated the experience. Cost: 2.5/5 Be prepared—LaTao is luxury-priced. A 6-inch cake runs around $70, and smaller items aren’t cheap either. While the branding and import logistics help justify some of the markup, it’s definitely a splurge rather than a casual dessert stop. In conclusion, LaTao is worth a visit if you’re a fan of Japanese cakes or looking for a luxurious gift-worthy dessert. The visual appeal and texture are top-tier, and the service is memorable. I’m giving it 4 out of 5 stars—exceptional presentation and service, though the flavor and pricing leave a bit of room for debate.

Came here for my birthday cake. from the moment I walked in I got surprised by the nice and welcoming atmosphere. staff provided me samples of different cakes without me even asking then took the time to answer all my questions and help me choose the perfect cake I wanted. They told me that all their products are imported from Hokkaido Japan which I did not expect😍 even asked if I want to get some free candles and bday sign at last which was super warm🫶This is not the type of experience you can get from other cake shops I’d have to say. If you’re a cheesecake lover this place is a must-visit.

This was one of the places that I really wanted to check out when visiting Seattle/Bellevue. There wasn't much of a wait, which was a plus. We tried one of their famous cheesecakes as well as their ice cream. The texture and taste of the cheesecake were fabulous. It was so easy to eat. The ice cream was even better, in my opinion. It had a good creamy texture but wasn't heavy. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Well hello there Le Tao, so there were a lot of reviews about how expensive this place is and lines and all the many issues, here’s was I thought. Le Tao is located in what used to be Trophy Cupcake (its not any bigger) for whatever reason I thought it was bigger and didn’t associate the two. I actually like the more cozy vibe Couple of things, they have a cheesecake and coffee combo, so by all means check out their online ordering before you decide on anything. You can order at the counter or at your table, but by all means ask for a sample if you’re not given one, they are more than happy to. Signature Cake Set (Cheesecake & Coffee) 5/5 So yes, the cheesecake is much smaller than your average sized slice but honestly it is the perfect size to enjoy (no overstuffing here) Whatever it lacks in size it makes up for in flavor, it is legitimately one of the better tasting cheesecakes that I’ve had, there’s just something about it… Ice Cream (Mix) Because I just had to, I also tried to the soft serve and we ordered the mix, which is the Hokkaido milk and fromage and I fully expected to like the Hokkaido more but surprise surprise the cheese was the winner, impeccable balance of flavors and sweetness (hate it when ice cream is just cloyingly sweet) this was perfect, next time I’ll be sure to try the Sundae which has a slice of cheesecake and cookie with it! Friendly service, great desserts, strong coffee and a cute ambience.

I visited their store a few days ago to buy some cakes and kept forgetting to post this. I just wanted to say their customer service was excellent — truly impressive. There was a beautiful Asian girl with big eyes, possibly the manager or a team leader, who greeted me with a warm smile and helped me solve my issue. I really appreciated her attitude and kindness. Although the prices are a bit on the higher side, overall it was a great experience and I’m quite happy with it!

Have you been to LeTAO in Bellevue yet? Their soft serve and cakes are seriously AMAZING! The Bellevue store is the first one outside of Japan in the US! It is famous for its Otaru Rue Ironai Fromage (LeTAO original fresh cream & Italian Mascapone cheese). The Mont Blanc Soft Serve with Hokkaido Milk is to die for. It is so smooth and creamy! We got the Yuki Akari cake to celebrate for Chinese New Year. It has Hokkaido cream cheese, whole mandarin oranges, and topped with a Setaka orange sauce. Such a pretty and delicious cake! The store is in an upscale area in Bellevue and right next to HeyTea. Love the simple layout and the "fake" cakes displays which looks so real and so Japanese!

First I want to say, hands down, top notch service. The cakes are very expensive. If you are someone who doesn't ever look at price tags, you'd be just fine though. I just happen to always check prices.... They offered samples and yes they do taste great. I want to say my best friend and I were absolutely amazed by the coconut latte. Wow I'd go back just to get the coconut latte again. Nothing like what I have tried before in a coffee shop. maybe it's the coconut cream?... or maybe I should get out more. lol just kidding I am out a lot. Anyway, stop by and see if you'd like to try anything. It is an interesting shop.

This bakery can get busy during the day! You can only buy the cakes full price, which is pretty expensive. If you sit down, you can eat slices but only of the frommage cakes. A duo set is about 30$ and there can be a wait. The cake was very good and I understand the hype around it. It is very expensive. This plaza has a parking garage attached to it and you can get your parking validated. This place is worth a try.

Not a fan of the particularities with this place. Whole cakes are pretty expensive itself and slices are not available to-go. It wouldn't bother me as much if there were more options available for dine in since I prefer fruity flavors. But alas, we could only choose between fromage and double chocolate at the time. Unfortunately, the flavors didn't make up for the portion size and price.

Very cute cafe. Can be pricey and they do validate parking! I ordered the chestnut soft serve and this was pretty good. Hokkaido milk was super soft and creamy. The chestnut ontop was like a puree. This was ~$12. Ordered the latte with oat milk and it was just average. I think they're only know for their cakes and soft serves. I was glad I tried and would come back if a friend suggested, but this isn't something I would find myself being a regular at.

This was one of the places that I really wanted to check out when visiting Seattle/Bellevue. There wasn't much of a wait, which was a plus. We tried one of their famous cheesecakes as well as their ice cream. The texture and taste of the cheesecake were fabulous. It was so easy to eat. The ice cream was even better, in my opinion. It had a good creamy texture but wasn't heavy. I highly recommend checking this place out.

So I heard all the hype and needed to try it because I love me some good ice cream. This place did not disappoint! The ice cream is supposedly made from better cow milk and I didn't really get it but now that I've tried it, I get it a little more. It really does have a different flavor and almost texture to it. I tried both milk and the milk and cheese swirl. I preferred the milk with the chocolate cake and cookie. The ice creams come with a mini slice of cake and a cookie which I highly recommend. The ambiance is also very elegant and soothing. Over all this place screams expensive, which it is lol. Two ice creams as described were $30. The cakes are minimum $40 a piece. For a special occasion it's worth it and also just to try their ice cream.

This place is an absolute gem! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a beautifully arranged dessert display with clear item names and prices. Since it was our first visit, we asked for recommendations, and they graciously provided samples--not just one or two, but nearly five! Each sample was absolutely delicious and somehow tasted even better than they looked. We decided on a slice of the Double Fromage, one of their signature items, which was rich and flavorful. The Mini Venezia was another standout, with the perfect balance of crust and filling that blended seamlessly. However, our favorite by far was the Mont Blanc Soft Serve, featuring Japanese chestnut and Hokkaido ice cream. You can choose from three flavors: Hokkaido milk, fromage (cheese), or a mix. The staff recommended the Hokkaido milk, and it did not disappoint. While the prices are higher than an average bakery, I think the quality and experience make it worth it. The service was phenomenal. The staff were incredibly patient, answering all of our questions and giving us time to make our choices. Parking is easy to manage with free retail spaces at The Braven, and the staff even validate your parking. The indoor seating is clean, spacious, and beautifully arranged, creating a welcoming atmosphere. There are two entrances--one at the back and the main one at the front. I can't wait to return!

Fromage Double: A delicious cheesecake that is not too sweet nor too rich. I enjoyed the different layers of textures, but my favorite part will have to be the baked cheesecake part of the cake. There are several tables available inside for dining. To order dine-in, there is a QR code to scan to order and pay. I can't wait to come back and try their other cakes and soft serves!

What a lovely place to have tea and cake! Beautifully designed both the store and the experience. We had the deluxe set that has a sampler of their most popular offerings. The first tier- soft serve, from age cookies, the noir. Lower tier- fromage double, chocolate double, jersey milk roll. Served with tea of choice. It was very lovely for 2-3 person to share. You can get the cookies at Japanese airports- they are very cheesy like eating cheese and crackers dessert. My take on individual cakes: Fromage double- rich explosion of dairy like 'New Zealand' in my mouth... milky, fluffy cheese, not too sweet that melts in your mouth. It was a delight if you are a cheese lover. Chocolate double- my favorite of the 3 cakes- the chocolate breaks up the powerful cheese and has a nice texture of fluffiness and chocolate cake base. Again not too sweet and rich chocolate taste kind of like a very delicate luxurious version of 'Oreo cheesecake'. Jersey milk roll- soft delicate cake with rich cheese cream. It was good but not mind blowing. Service in general was good. Staff was attentive but I don't think the focus of this location is for in-store dining. I had been to a LeTAO in Hokkaido, the Doremo LeTAO near new Chitose airport that is a different concept, more like a bakery with lots of baked goods - cookies, cakes and bread, attached to a cafe that serves breakfast and lunch with sandwiches and amazingly fluffy pancakes. Regardless, this Bellevue store is much more compact focusing on the dessert with Hokkaido's premium dairy more like an afternoon tea place or an after dinner hangout.

Take it from someone who spent over $400 in one transaction: the stuff is good but not amazing. I'm a huge aficionado of Hokkaido milk but they'd have to cut their prices in half to make me consider getting anything again. Indigo Cow has better milk soft serve. HeyTea next door has better drinks. Most customers get the peach milk tea, but my friend said it was horrible (I thought it was ok but it really is just peach bits floating in milk). Their biggest flaw really is that they don't sell most of the cakes or cookies on weekdays. The line can get so long on the weekends but it's really the fault of the indecisive customers, not the staff. The staff, however, work with bare minimum friendless, and probably English too. Very classy space, but also they could do better to add more tables.

-Mont Blanc Soft Serve $12.99 -Soft Serve Sundae $13.99 Mont blanc soft serve was a perfect sweet/ripe chestnut in soft serve form-just perfection A whole cheesecake costs like $40 so i went for the sundae that had a small slice of the cheesecake but i should have just gotten a whole cheesecake. I normally like the crust of cheesecake and this just had the perfect sponge cake to cheese ratio, each bite was heaven. This has to be my next birthday cake and im not sharing with anyone

9.22.2024 The highlight of my visit was the Mon Blanc dessert. The chestnut cream was smooth and luscious. The ambiance at LeTAO is elegant and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing dessert experience. LeTAO offers a unique and luxurious dessert experience that is hard to find elsewhere. If you're in Bellevue and have a sweet tooth, I highly recommend trying the Mon Blanc at LeTAO.

Is it good? Yes Is it worth the price? Probably not $13 for a very small sundae with a small piece of cake and a cookie. The ice cream itself is very creamy with a nice Hokkaido milk taste but I don't know if it's quite good enough to justify this price. We've also gotten a full chocolate cheesecake once which was over $40 for a fairly small cake. The cake was flavor was good but the texture was a bit icy. The store itself is nice, modern, and spacious. If you eat in store then you can order on QR codes on the table and they will bring your food to you.

Luxury decore and huge space!! Came here because I saw it on instagram, it's very aesthetic. There are both takeout and dine-in options. The desserts were really yummy. I got the cheesecake + a peach tea, and the chestnut ice cream. However, it's really expensive for what it is, so I give it 4/5. Service was great and fast, they will refill your water and take away your plates.

TLDR; Delicate cheesecakes and cheesecake soft serve! Environment: there's a few seating areas around and u can also just go up and do take out and see what their menu items look like. It's beautiful and modern. Service: they took the best care of us as soon as we stepped in. And answered many of our questions. Food: the cheesecake is very delicate and not too sweet! Which is the best compliment. I loved the cheesecake and want to try other baked goods. My favorite here was the cheesecake soft serve I love the flavor! The upgrade with cheesecake and biscuit is worth it if u want to try other things, but otherwise the softserve is all I really need the next time. The matcha by the way was not good imo, it wasn't sweet at all (maybe u need to ask for sweetener?) and tasted kinda meh. I'm only here for the baked goods and Soft serve. The biscuit was different, but not for me. Still was good to try on the soft serve! Try it in case you'll like it! Definitely coming back for soft serve.

There is no line, so let's try this. I love their cheese cookie every time we swing by Narita airport in Japan. Entrance: 2 ways you can enter from the front and back by Heytea Location: Bravern Parking: plenty free parking in parking garage, and validate in any store. If you plan to sit down and eat, go to the table seating area and order using the qr code on the table. We ordered: Signature Mont Blanc Uji matcha latte Peach apricot ceylon tea Sundae Neige blanc Pretty pricy. It taste very good though. Was it worth the price? Once in a while maybe. I like it because it's not too sweet and smooth. Overall ok. Service great. They serve the food and drink with pretty china plate setting.

Was so so looking forward to this store since my first experience was in Otaru, Japan. This little sweet little town. I have always been passionate about chestnut items so heard about their table side Mont Blanc. Was really quite sad when they said it wasn't available. I ended up ordering the Mont Blanc soft serve (12.99) quite steep for the portion size. It was adequate. Ordering was also quite confusing. The table has a QRS code for ordering but you can't order the soft serve with the table menu, But when I went to order the soft serve at the countertop, I wasn't able to order the individual slides of frontage double (have to order it at the table).... I ended up having to order at the counter and at the table to get both piece of cake and the chestnut soft serve. Service was also adequate. Feeling like they are still working on training the staff. Had Pure Ceylon soursop green tea hot and peach Hokkaido milk tea cold. Both were quite good. They served the milk tea in a paper cup despite the fact we are having it at the cafe. The hot green tea was in a porcelain cup.. May come back for the table side Mont Blanc.. but also heard it was $25 and it wasn't on the menu. Might just need to commit to go back to Otaru, Sapporo :). Hope this place will improve. Looking forward for them to bring their original tea to Bellevue.

The few things we got at LeTAO were great--the apple pie, strawberry hokkaido milk, and their fromage cookies. We preferred the fromage milk cookies to the fromage which are a little stronger cheese flavor and tangy. The strawberry milk tea is mild and creamy and not too sweet--we liked it! The apple pie was flaky and buttery. All in all a nice stop for some sweet treats.

The desserts here were delicious! My favorite was the soft serve sundae. We got a mix of the Hokkaido Milk and Fromage soft serve, with the chocolat double cake and Otaru Rue Ironai Fromage Milk cookie. I want to get this again next time I go! I definitely want to get their cakes again next time as well. Additionally, the interior was so pretty and is the perfect place to sit down with friends, co-workers, study, etc. The environment was quiet when my friends and I went. The service was quick, and the area was very clean. I enjoyed the aesthetic of Cafe LeTAO and will be visiting sometime soon again.

I came here on a Saturday around 3pm and there was a short line. The layout of the store is a bit confusing as one entrance (across from Heytea) seems to be for dine in -- with a yelp waitlist and the other is takeout. But we eventually went to lineup in the takeout line and there was a kiosk too but we ordered at the register. All the cakes were already sold out so we opted for the soft serve sundae which came with a small piece of cheesecake and the cookie. The cheesecake itself was very creamy and I would love to try it on its own and same with the cookie. I got the double fromage soft serve and it was way too cheesy for my liking and honestly a bit off putting. We ended up waiting around 20 minutes after ordering together get our sundae. I'm glad I got to try this but I probably won't be coming back, especially with the price of things.

Excited to finally try this spot! We parked in the lot (free parking with ticket validation!). It was a little confusing with the layout but one side is fine-in which had a waitlist and the other end, you can order either at their kiosk or at the register. We ordered at the register. My husband and I shared the soft serve sundae with their cheesecake and cookie. It's the only way we were able to get their cheesecake without buying a whole cheesecake. Kind of wish they offered their cakes by the slice for takeout. Soft serve was really tasty. The cheese and vanilla mix flavor was great and the cheesecake was fluffy and creamy. Very good.

- Lovely cheesecakes, steep price - We were in Otaru in December, 2023 and Letao is super big there. They have tons of stores there and out of tons of dessert shops there, they were the most generous and they gave out free samples. Hence we were super excited when we found out it was coming to Bellevue right after our trip. We stopped by to pick up their original fromage double cheesecake right before closing. There were two guests in line to order at the kiosk. There was a sign for dining in or take out, but it wasn't super clear and the workers were too busy to guide or greet anyone. I got my cake within one minute. They wrapped the cake in a thermal insulated bag with a small ice pack. The cake was made in Hokkaido, and flew here via plane. The cake we got was best before October and it did say product of Japan on there. The cheesecakes were delicious, but it was a bit frozen when we take it out from the fridge. There wasn't any instructions for how to enjoy it the best, but it felt like an ice cream cake for me. It was good, but I can't compare it to what we had in Japan since my memory faded away. One thing I can tell you is that it's not a Japanese cheesecake, meaning it's not super fluffy. I'd say it's probably 65% of those condensed NY cheesecake types of cheesecake, and 35% of the fluffy Japanese cheesecakes. It's also not super sweet like a NY cheesecake. Each cake has 1160 calories and it weighs 11.6oz (332g). There are 7g of added sugar per serving, which is actually good since it's easily over 10g of added sugar for any sweet snacks in the US. The price is steep since it's $41.99 (tax exempt). It's a slightly better deal if you get the 7" cake, but we got the smaller one to try. They also have stores in many other cities and airports, such as Toronto and Sydney. The price in Japan was $15, so you are paying a lot for the transportation cost and all that. However, I know places that charge $7 or so for insulated bags such as snowy village but they don't. If we stop by here next time, we will likely try other cakes in the store. We've tried their cheese cookies before, and they were too cheesy for our liking. It's still good, but there were just better alternatives in Hokkaido at the time.

Japanese Hokkaido cheesecake has arrived to the Bravern! With multiple locations around the globe, LeTAO has recently opened their first US location in Bellevue, WA. We swung by to check it out, and had the: - Strawberry Hokkaido Milk Tea - Lychee & Rose Sparkling Water - Fromage Double Slice - Belle Neige Slice Set with Iced Ceylon Tea When you arrive to the shop, the ordering and dine-in process is a bit unclear. A few things to note if you're visiting for the first time: - Single slices are only available for in-store dining, so be sure to hop onto the waitlist right when you get there - There are two kiosks in the store - the one closest to the main door is for to-go orders only, while the waitlist kiosk is towards the back of the store (near the seating) - I recommend going with a small party (2 people max) as our group of four waited about 45 mins to be seated - Lastly, be sure to pick up your parking validation for the Bravern at the register before you leave Overall, the cheesecake taste and texture were great, but as visitors tend to sit and relax in a cafe environment, the wait to dine-in is a bit long. I think moving forward, we'll just grab full size cakes and drinks to-go!

Amazing flavors for lattes. (Rose or coconut are my go-to's.) Unique ice cream flavor. I like the combination of the milk and fromage soft serve flavors.

Nice fancy specialty dessert/cake shop with a welcoming ambiance. Walked into LeTao while waiting for Dolar Shop. Got an iced Americano and a Mini Venezia to enjoy an hour of relaxation time. I really enjoyed the Mini Venezia. It reminded me of egg tart but with a more solid crust and a thicker creme brûlée filling. I especially liked its cool temperature - it provided a nice consistency that enhanced its flavor profile. Sip that with an Americano and boom - great complement. While the other cake items here are very expensive, this was reasonable and for around $15 including tip. Service was very friendly and relaxing. Very nice workers here. Seating is open bright and casual. You order at the counter and find a nice comfy seat. It's nice and quiet inside. The setting is made to feel special and fancy - marble-themed tables, golden (plastic) forks, faux flowers, modern designs, beautiful lighting. It's really pleasant. Food comes very fancy packaged. You get a nice takeout paper bag and box for your dessert. I do wish they used less packaging to reduce trash. Parking is in the Bravern Towers Parking Lot and they validate parking. I give it a high rating. It's expensive so know what you're going for - this isn't a nice cute little mom pop cafe. It's an upscale Japanese cheesecake shop. And for that - I like it. Five stars.

LeTAO is open in the United States, specifically, in Bellevue, Washington! Its first U.S. location opened in The Bravern, right next to The Dolar Shop and a soon-to-open boba shop. My colleague and I walked by, on our way to coffee, and as soon as we saw it was open, we made a detour to LeTAO. LeTAO is known for their Hokkaido cheesecakes. At this time, you cannot get slices to go, but can try if you dine-in. You can also get an entire cheesecake to-go frozen or fresh, which is neatly packaged. Just like a restaurant, you must join the waitlist to be seated to dine-in. The seating area is limited, but looks comfortable and inviting. Since my colleague and I had to get back to work, we tried their drinks and soft serve, and ended up getting cheesecake for an event the following day. I had the strawberry sparkling water, which was solid, with sparkling water and strawberries. It wasn't sweet, just naturally from the strawberries, which I really liked. Nothing artificial. For the soft serve, I had the Hokkaido cream and cheese swirl, which was solid. It was creamy and had a good balance of cream and cheese. For our work event the next day, we had the chocolate cheesecake, which was good! It was a hit among colleagues and would recommend for anyone who loves chocolate. So glad LeTAO has opened in Bellevue and walking distance to the office and home! This may be dangerous, but hey, let them eat (cheese)cake! I will be back to explore more of the desserts and drinks.

Low key so confused when I walked in. They let you try everything which is great! $16 for a little cup of milk (crying). I got the ice cream, cake, and cookie to try everything. I was even confused what they were selling. So much going on. Did not understand any of the items, ended up just ordered blindly. Overall, I will not be going back. The ice cream tasted like literal milk they just froze, the cake tasted previously frozen and then thawed and served, the cookie was bland and honestly interesting. Did not taste how I thought it would and ended up throwing it away. Nothing I tried made me want to go back. Sorry:( the place is cool but not worth the items they sell. Plus the marble looked cheap.

LeTao's cheesecakes are a solid 5/5 for me typically; the light cheesiness of their cakes are unmatched imo. But occasionally, their quality falters and I question if I had the right cake. Like this evening when I dined in with some friends. The usual double chocolate looked off: the chocolate cheesecake layer was thinner and denser and the chocolate dusting barely dusted the slice we got. Our soft serve arrived melting. Would have been thoroughly disappointed if not for the very good roll cake. Idk might be better sticking to purchasing the regular whole cakes than dining in.

"I recently discovered a Japanese dessert at Location in Bravern Bellevue that has piqued my interest. Although the price is steep for a cake, I'm excited to try it!" Staffs are so accomodating and explained well about the cakes

Great place for holiday cakes and gifts! Such great service too! I love their fromage cookies and cakes! I buy them for birthdays and special occasions for friends/family... they all love it!

LeTAO is an aesthetic cafe that offers Japanese desserts, including their signature cheesecake and soft serve ice cream. Their signature cake was not available at the time of our visit so we ordered a chocolate double cheesecake instead and also a montblanc. The montblanc is quite expensive but at least it came with a little bit of a show, where the server finishes the plating in front of you with the hazelnut strain, chopped hazelnut topping and powdered sugar spread... oh they even place a gold sign at on top! Overall, staff are friendly. The place has limited seating and you are unable to order per slice to go, only the whole cake. Great to experience at least once!

Beautifully designed store with many great options from cakes, soft serves, and cookies! We ordered a few cakes to go and a sundae. Soft serve is so creamy, cake slice is slightly sweet with the richness of cheese, and the cookie is my fav!! Definitely coming back!!

I had the chance to visit during the grand opening this weekend, and I was really impressed, even though the line was incredibly long. Once inside, you have the option to either dine in and enjoy slices of their delicious desserts or order a whole cake to take home. I tried their original cheesecake, and it was absolutely amazing--so creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced in flavor. I also had some of the soft serve, which was equally delightful. Unfortunately, I didn't get to sample any of their drinks this time around. While the desserts were exceptional, I do have to mention that the price for a whole cake feels a bit steep. It's certainly a treat, but not something I could justify purchasing regularly at that price.

authentic Japanese cheese cake and soft serve made from Hokkaido dairy from Japan. We've bought 2 cheese cakes to go home and tried one slice traditional cheese cake with americano in house.

The cheesecake is best enjoyed when it's been thawed for a few hours. If you are like me you started eating the cheesecake when you opened the package and ate it still frozen. At this point the cheesecake tastes like a regular ice cream cake. Which I enjoyed but for the price it didn't seem to meet expectations. Then after I let the cheesecake thaw for a few hours and I had some more that's when I loved it! The cream melts in your mouth, it's so smooth, balanced, not too sweet. At this point I was in love with the cheesecake and I ended up eating the entire thing by myself. What I thought was cool is that when you walk into the shop they have on display at the counter all the cakes and options so you can see exactly what you will get, the size, and the prices. One thing I will say is that service was very slow so if you plan to go maybe just bring your patience. They just opened a few days ago so they are probably still learning.

I saw a lot of hype about LeTAO so I went to try it out and it was okay. The building looks cold, uninviting, and sterile. I would that it's nice to see all the products out on the counter and it reminds me of an operating room tool tray. The employees are super nice though and probably the one of the best things about this place. We tried a few things but the soft serve, cheese cake, and cookie combo is probably the best item on the menu. I think everything is pretty overpriced for the quality and side. The soft serve is the best item on the menu. The do comp parking if you park in the garage!

they have really cute interior, very aesthetic, and great for cute pics! however they don't sell the cheesecake in slices and they act cake was about ~$50 which resulted in us just grabbing some drinks instead. the drinks were great with reasonable prices but i personally wouldn't go to this spot just for drinks. friendly staff and worth a shot if you're down to purchase a whole cake!

Moderately quick service. Soft and cheesy fromage and baked fromage. Cute little place to grab a little dessert after hotpot.

I ordered this for togo and they gave me this. Knowing this is for togo and they did not give me any proper togo box. Also this product has ice cream and we all know what happen if we dont keep it cold... I rather the staff tell me that It is not for togo then give me this

Delicious cheese cakes, highly recommend the fromage double and the fromage cookies. The Jersey roll is also very nice

Been looking for decent ice cream place in Seattle, when I found this gem! Very good monc blanc ice cream, not too sweet!! A MUST TRY

This is my second time here. The first time, I tried their sundae (because you get ice cream, cake, and cookies all in one). I'm not usually big on sweets, but the sweetness was just right. This time, I went for their new neige blanc, and as a cheese fan, I loved it! The mousse-like texture is soft, with a hint of honey that isn't too sweet. Paired with their sparkling water or tea, it's the perfect little afternoon treat to relax and unwind.

Best cakes, great ambiance. Pricey but worth it!!! Teas are really good too. I enjoyed the peach tea.

Awesome cheesecake! Soft serve is great too! And they are open on Christmas Day. Make sure to their drinks and chocolates

Best place to get Hokkaido soft serve in Seattle! As good as Crema in Japan. The fromage cake is also great.

Best sweets in seattle! Came by on Christmas and ordered a bunch of stuff! Great service and tasty items!

The staff is very nice and we bought these cookies as holiday gifts and they are all individually gift wrapped!

Very nice inside, and has lovely cakes! Love the cakes and the ice cream taste even better
