Regent Bakery & Cafe

Best asian style cakes. They melt in your mouth and are not too sweet. Definitely worth trying. They are on the pricier side and the price keeps going up. We reserve it as a treat for a special occasions. My favorites are the strawberry shortcake and the fruit cake. Mango mousse cake is also worth trying.

I love this Chinese bakery. I can't get enough of their custard buns and vanilla sponge cake. I have ordered two special order cakes from here so far for birthdays and they were perfect both times. I love that more subtle sweetness of this kind of baking style. The cakes I've had are a fruit cake and a strawberry cake. There are strawberries in the filling. It's heaven. We also get boba tea here from time to time with our buns. They make a great pick me up in the afternoons. There are savory buns as well for lunch that I think might be good too, we just haven't tried them yet. We can't resist getting a Swiss roll for home. Got to buy a moon cake for the Chinese holiday although we aren't Chinese and didn't know anything about the holiday, it was nice being able to taste an authentic moon cake on the day.

Though it's not the best possible option, I keep coming back to this place. Their coffee is pretty good and the baked goods are fresh and not too sweet, for my taste buds. Today, I had a fresh lemon gree tea and a cream puff. The tea was great, the cream puff was good, but no way it was a custard cream, as I was told. It was probably a whipped cream with some boxed vanilla pudding. Still good. Take out only.

June 2020 visit. Takeout cakes and bread only. *** Very wide selection of dessert and Asian style bread and cookies pastries. The birthday cakes choices are great and some nuts free options for shoppers with allergies. Cakes are not too sweet and very airy light. Hong Kong style Chinese food is delicious. Bubble tea and coffee are great! Would recommend. june 2019. Seems renovated and spacious. Delicious mango mousse cake. We tried the lunch special it's good for the price. Fish in s hot pot continues to be my favorite! Spicy salt fried chops were excellent.

If you an Indian and want to eat Indian flavoured cream taste cake you my friend are going to the right place!!🫠 The cakes here are really yummmy! Even the breads and cookies are really tasty 🤤 My personal favourite is fruit and napoleon cake/ pastries 🍰🥮 If you have ever had cream roll in India and you love it you must try napoleon pastry!

It’s not technically a mousse. Most of the cake slice is sponge so it isn’t very rich and sweet. Green tea doesn’t taste like green tea and has red beans in them. Liked Black Forest better than the rest.

I want to start this off by saying that I’ve been and will continue being a loyal customer for years. I love regent bakery’s cakes because the frosting is perfect in sweetness and lightness making it actually desirable and delicious. One of my neighbors recommended regent bakery and cafe to me, i tried it, and never looked back. I highly recommend trying their cakes and buns (get the single slices if you are unsure of which size, they’re the perfect size for an indulgent snack). I know for sure that I’ll be back.

Awesome place for Cakes and pastries. Especially Birthday cakes in 11th hour. They have 6 inch always available and you can get the Birthday guys name on it on just walk-in .. thats awesome

I got a bunch of cupcakes for the office, and they were a huge hit. The cupcake was moist and tasting, and the frosting wasn't too sweet. I just wish they offered bulk discounts for purchases of 6 or 12

My goto place for yearssssss! Their highlight is their fresh mango cake - seasonal and their fresh fruit cake. It's not too sweet and just perfect for a big bite. It affordable and has always been my hubby's birthday cake. Their pastries like taro bun and red bean bun are good too but their fresh mango cake is my fave. Didn't like their chocolate cake but it could be my personal bias.. highly recommend this place for anyone who loves different flavours

Have not visit the bakery-restaurant in a while. Called and placed a takeout order for noodles dish. There's plenty of parking available in a parking lot in Front of the restaurant . While waiting for my order, I checked out the bakery items. Picked out a coffee sponge cake item and a raisin bun. Prices have really shot up! Total was over $35 for one order of noodle a 4 pastries! Baked items were just okay, I have eaten better. I'll probably return for more noodle dishes, but will pass on the bakery items Service was good and employees were nice.

I've been coming here for years. It usually is very busy. Their cakes are just very tasty. Super fluffy! Can be a bit too sweet sometimes but yhey are good. I loved the red bean and matcha ones. Coffee is normal. Service hasn't been the best. I feel as if they know we are captive customers because of their lovely cakes. Still. I would suggest, in my opinion, to be a bit more CS focused. This time, prices have gone up which is normal due to economy. But it was like "hurry. Take your cake and have it outside because we don't have service at our tables anymore." So, without previous notice, some customers and I went out. Some went into their cars and another was just standing at the corner trying to eat a cake while having her coffee. I don't know if the driving is worth it anymore. Ambience was dark as there were no lights on the table section.

We heard that this bakery is really good. We ordered the cake the week before for pick up at 10am. Husband and I came 10 mins (0950)earlier With the front door open thinking that they open early, husband went in " was asked to go out the door and wait outside. One of their guy locked the door 3 mins before opening. Lol. All I'm saying is just be a bit courteous and respectful. I'm sure husband will not go in early if the door is CLOSED!!

Normally I would not go somewhere with such mixed reviews - both sides of the spectrum seem represented here; it's either "my all-time favorite place to get Hong Kong-esque pastries" or "everything was moldy." Um kay. Well, we were across the parking lot and saw the Chinese characters on the sign so in we went. Brought home a big bag of mostly rolls with something to do with coconut (I need to find out why the coconut at these type spots is always yellow). First impression is not significantly different than any other Hong Kong-esque bakery (we do frequent them as we both favor Hong Kong-esque Chinese fare out of most of the different types, though there is something to appeal from each region - I love some Beijing area dumplings; the spouse gobbles up Guangzhou area noodles, etc. Anyway, I cannot yet give five stars without trying their "European" renditions and their entrees. And I do hope to try both! We can report that nothing is moldy.

My favorite place to get cakes for any occasion. Their black forest chocoalte cake is my favorite. They have many other great optiosn that look amazing. Id come back!

MOLDY MOCHI!!! I bought these on Saturday and they are already moldy today (Monday). I'm sure these had been on the shelf for some time prior to being purchased. They shouldn't have sold these to customers. This is NOT my first time buying their mochis on weekends and enjoying them a few days later. Never had this issue before. This is so upsetting. My last time here.

Keep coming back to this place. Their coffee is pretty good and the baked goods are fresh and not too sweet, for my taste buds. Today, I had a fresh lemon gree tea and a cream puff. The tea was great, the cream puff was good, but no way it was a custard cream, as I was told. It was probably a whipped cream with some boxed vanilla pudding. Still good. Take out only.

To be fair, I bought stuff here before and quality is fine and taste is always good; this time I got mold on $50+ cake. I averaged my rating based on 5 star on previous visit and 1 star this time. Cake was bought 3/17 and found mold 3/18 when we open the box straight out of fridge

Regent Bakery is my go to bakery on the Eastside.Celebrations, Special Occasions or a hankering for something sweet doesn't matter. I head for Regent and the Fruit Cake is my fave! This was for my anniversary and I enjoyed every bit(e)

Just amazing cakes all around. Could have a better collection of vegetarian baked goods.

They're known for their bakery items but they also offer meals and cooked Chinese food too. I ordered the cashew chicken rice and bbq pork rice here and it's decent. Not too greasy and nicely presented.

Expensive but their cakes are pretty good. We've frequented this bakery for years, mainly getting one of their many cakes on display daily. I've never been disliked a cake from this bakery because it has great flavors and isn't too sweet, which is what I look for in a cake. Their fresh strawberry cake is always delicious but I also recommend the Tiramisu or Matcha cake as well!

Good yummy bakery items, definitely a bit pricy for cake slices that are quite small, but perfect for a special treat when you're looking to indulge ~$4 buns are more affordable for a price conscious treat.

Chocolate mouse cake was yummy. We also bought their breakfast pastries such as taro bun and bean paste bun. I am a fan of the almond taro bun because it can be shared and the portion is just right for a snack or small breakfast Customer service was standard and polite. Plenty of options for cakes but we had a group with strawberries, mango, nuts, and stone fruit allergies. Thus we were left with chocolate related items or the taro cake. We've purchased the taro cake before and it was delicious. I would get that again over the chocolate mouse since it's a bit too rich and sweet for us in a cake size. A small chocolate mouse cup size perhaps make the most sense. Wish there was more options than just red or white color for the msg frosting. Overall would definitely come back. Will try the matcha cake and other buns with the next visit.

What's not to like!!! All the sweet treats. I guess I been too busy eating! Better late than never. This place opened way back but they started out as a restaurant. Food from what I've tried was a ok. But then came a full blown bakery. They used to have some but now it's a remodeled, shiny full fledge Asian bakery. And they have great stuff. Cream puffs, their Asian cakes ( mango mousse, fruit cake, strawberry, even tiramisu) by the slices or by the whole. 6-8 inches to bigger. I like the cakes. Cream puffs were always tasty. And they make delicious egg tarts as well as fruit cake. The only thing is parking is always so busy as well as inside. Even now I'm Covid, it's crazy busy. Hard to social distance. But I get it. We all want cakes!

We are usually here to get cakes for special occasion. Black Forest cake was good as usual but this time the handwriting was just untidy and awkwardly written by the older lady in the store...

For the cakes I'll give it the highest compliment an Asian mom can give, not too sweet. But really, I've tried at least five of their cakes by now and I always enjoy them and stop by whenever I'm in the area.

Great selection of pastries and savory goodies on a Wednesday afternoon. I made two separate purchases and the first for baked goods asked if I wanted to tip 15%, 20% or 25%. Then I bought a bubble tea oand the tip options were $1, $2, $3. Thought that was interesting. Bubble tea was very sweet and I'm pretty sure there was no actual tea in it, just flavor, milk and boba.

I've been going to Regents in Redmond for over 20 years and have bought many cakes in that time. Their cakes have been consistently good, with the highest compliment an Asian person can give a cake "it's not too sweet." I have recommended many people to this place but can't anymore. Over the years the pricing has gone up, as cost of things have gone up. That's fine, not a problem. But the recent service experience was quite poor. I went to buy a bday cake for a friend and the owner was there with another girl behind the counter. I got the cake and asked for the girl to write on the cake. She said, "why don't you buy a cake topper" and gestured to the corner of the store. I took a look and the one I first saw was $17. I said "no, can you just write on it?" This is a request that is pretty common and that I've had done on pretty much every cake I've experience purchased here (probably over 50 in the last 20 years). The owner rang me up and I asked her to write on it. She says the same thing as the girl! I said no and repeated the request for writing on the cake. So this is what she does- in retaliation of my request and resistance to buying their over priced cake topper, she angry scribbles the message on the cake. Then she boxes it up and says "thank you have a nice day" like normal. By the way, there was no one else in the store so they were not busy. I was so shocked I didn't even respond and left. And will never go again... boycotting Regent's! I have never seen the cake toppers before, they were new in the bakery so maybe they were trying to push sales but this was quite ridiculous. I uploaded two pics so you can see the angry writing on cake vs normal writing (same place!)

Is this for real?? $6 for 1/4 loaf of white bread... that's $1/slice. It's water and flour ppl, they are really price gouging! Ridiculous.

TLDR: better than 85C Bakery! I don't think you can go wrong with any sweet pastry here. Let me start off by saying that this place is better than 85C Bakery. Yup, you heard right. I find that 85C's pastries are lighter and more airy. The pastries here are actual pastries--fluffy and filling. Not to mention the fillings inside the pastries are excellent ratios. None of this 20% filling to 80% carb that you sometimes get at 85C. If you get a custard bun here, you get custard and a bun, not bun and a custard. More bang for your buck! Tip: if you are taking these home before eating, I highly recommend warming them up in the oven or toaster oven for a few mins (especially if there are sesame seeds on tip) because the aroma is awesome and the flavor is really brought out when they are warmed. Atmosphere: small quiet bakery with two tall book shelves of pastries and a cake case. Parking: small slanted lot. Menu: there is a beverage menu posted on the back wall behind the register if you fancy something to drink. Service: walk in, grab a tray and the pastries you want, pay at the register. Cakes and drinks can be ordered at the register. Red Bean Mochi: wow, what an excellent redbean to mochi ratio! It's just the right amount of sweetness and the texture is perfect---not too chewy and not too soft. It cannot get more perfect than this! Coconut Cream Bun: it was one of those days where I just had to indulge. There was quite the generous amount of coconut cream inside the bun and I was pleasantly pleased with each bite. Pineapple Coconut Bun: ooooh there were yummy bits of coconut in the filling of this bun. Yummm. Not so much pineapple taste as much as the coconut but still delicious! Custard Bun: Generous on that custard! Not too runny and not too gelatinous--very satisfying and lightly sweetened. Lotus Seed Paste Pastries: my all time favorite filling in any pastry. It's not too sweet but can be overwhelming due to the dense consistency--best paired with hot tea! Definitely a try at least one to see if you like it kind of filling. I can't really describe the flavor--maybe slightly nutty? Give it a try sometime!

A friend bought us some pastries from this place and I am so grateful for him to introducing us to this place - cause I loved the pastries. Tried their chocolate mousse and napoleon pastries. The chocolate mousse was incredibly good 5/5- it had the right level of sweetness and was smooth, rich and luscious! Simple but DELISH. I am not a sweet tooth but I couldn't stop myself from eating this one- spoon after spoon Napoleon cake-this was my first time trying one and it was an interesting combination with flaky buttery puff pastry layered with sweet vanilla custard. It was similar to a crepe cake with airy thin layers and cream filled interiors. I enjoyed both pastries but chocolate mousse was my favorite. I am definitely going to try their other bakery items.

Best bakery so far in northwest. We will get a cake and some pastries every time we're in town. Black Forest cake is my all time favorite!

Prices have gone up ridiculously in the past few years. Going to look elsewhere next time.

One of the best bakery in town. I just love their cakes,.... Have tried their plum cake but my heart always goes with mango moose one.

My family has been coming here ever since I can remember for special occasions. The cakes here are unique and delicious

Worst egg tarts I ever had! The egg tarts are a total rip off. The crust is not flaky layers but more like a sugar crumbly dough. There is almost no egg tart filling. There is barely enough to just make it look like there is filling if you look at it from the top. The top is about 3 inches across and the bottom the the tin / tart is about 1.5 inches across. The actual filling is almost nonexistent. Look at my pictures. I was beyond disappointed and felt totally ripped off. Each one was around $2.60 and were basically just crumbly sugar dough and tiny amount of egg tart filling which didn't taste good or fresh. I would not recommend their egg tarts and really they should do better for their customers.

Updated interior and it was busy. Buns and pastries a bit on the expensive side. Maybe one should learn how to make some? The 'nai cha" was a disappointment. I'm sure they used powdered evaporated milk. The lack of condensed milk was even more disappointing. It tasted like Lipton (I swear!) Nevertheless, it was $4/cup. The lunch "beef chow fun" was surprisingly not bad. There wasn't "wok hay" taste but it wasn't too oily or mushy.

At first glance, Regent might look like just a bakery based on their expansive wall of buns and shining cake display. However, they also whip up a selection of Chinese entrees in the kitchen and offer various teas and coffees. From here, you can grab a meal, dessert, snack and drink... truly a one-stop shop! Three of us stopped by one Saturday afternoon to pick up an assortment of pastry items along with an order of chow fun for lunch. Lots of carbs, but hey, it was time for a weekend treat! We grabbed a tray at the entrance and began piling on buns (individually wrapped) filled with red bean, custard, and BBQ Pork just to name a few. I'd say the average price among the bun selection was about $2-3 each, which is not bad considering how huge they are. We paid for our bread items and stepped aside to wait for our order of chow fun which was ready within about 10 minutes. During our visit, the employees kindly answered a couple of our questions and interacted with all customers in a friendly manner. + Beef Chow Fun, dry ($10.95): At first, we were a little bummed that Regent's version didn't have the charred wok flavor that is a common characteristic of most chow funs. However, it was less oily, less salty and contained meaty pieces of tender beef, so we enjoyed it overall. For the price, the serving seemed a little small, but fed the three of us. As for the buns, they all seemed to have the same doughy base, which was fairly airy, a tad sweet and had a nice chew to it. + BBQ Pork Bun: The serving of pork was not only generous, but the pieces were meaty as well. Much better quality than a char sui bao with minced meat that I've encountered at other places before. + Beef Curry Bun: Chopped beef mixed with a yellow curry made for an aromatic and savory pocket. I personally didn't care for this one much, but my mom enjoyed it. + Coconut Bun: A buttery cream filling was piped all the way through with a coating of coconut flakes on top. It was like a true dessert! + Red Bean Mochi: The interior of the bun was lined with a layer of mochi and housed a glob of red bean which made this bun very heavy. Since the mochi wasn't too noticeable anyway, I'd recommend the regular Red Bean Bun instead. + Custard Bun: With a sweet swirl on top and filled with a rich custard center, this one is best paired with a coffee or tea. We've been to Regent a couple times previously and have always been pleased with our experience. The next time we return, we'll need to try their egg tarts and more from their hot menu!

Fantastic bakery, great butter cookies, OK Chinese food but a little too much Umami for my taste. Overall 4/5 stars.

Terrible experience with DoorDash delivery. Regent forgot to make 1 dish and did not offer refund or store credit. Called to ask about the missing item and the person who answered asked me to go pick it up as a mitigation. The whole point of ordering delivery is for convenience - not sure how driving to their restaurant to correct their mistake is a good solution. On top of that the order was super delayed. I placed the order 11:30am and the food did not arrive until 1:30pm. Regent claimed it's because they didn't receive a notification for the DoorDash app and thus did not start working on it until much later.

So bummed that they aren't open for dine in now :( but still thankful that they're continuing their cafe, the food is delicious! Not only is their food amazing, but their popular bakery lives up to its hype! I would definitely recommend this place for a variety of bakeries or just to stop by for a meal!

Options of cakes are many but they are not exceptionally better than others, yet they are priced very high as $6+ each piece. Plus the cashiers are very unfriendly and cold faced. Won't go back there for those bloody cold faces. Just not worth it.

Likely the best Cantonese bakery in the Seattle area!! (someone let me know if they find a better one) They have great pineapple buns (bo lo bao), coconut buns (gai mei bao), red bean buns, taro buns, egg tarts, etc. The buns are all around $2-3 each, so not the cheapest but definitely the best that I have found in Seattle. They also do delicious mango fruit, matcha, Black Forest cakes.

I love this bakery! They have the best cakes, pies and assorted desserts that make my mouth water just thinking about them. Their strawberry cake is oh so yummy, light and flavorful. If you haven't been there, give them a try - your tummy will love you.

I bought eggless fresh mango cake for my husband birthday. It was toooo good and very tasty

It's a ok place to go The bakery was not perfect And some of the buns are ok But overall kind of below the average The milk tea is kind of surprise It is kind of ok Did not expect that at the beginning

Love their mango mousse, Swiss chocolate, fruit cake and Black Forest cake. Cake just melts and has the perfect sweetness.

Go here for the cakes! The cakes are absolutely delicious. I can't choose a favorite but my top 3 are the Swiss Chocolate, Mocha, and Strawberry (especially in the summer). The cakes are moist and flavorful but also very light and not too sweet. They use whipped cream as opposed to butter cream.

This review is for the bakery side only. I've been buying pastries and sort of cakes (much, much less) for many years. Initially, I had liked the cakes but over the years I found they consistently used fruits that are too raw so the pieces are tasteless or even hard. I'm also not a fan of mousse cakes, which is all mushy. In short, I stopped buying the cakes, dead stop. 2 stars. The pastry side is another story. They were one of the first shops I found on the East side that made pastries that I grew up with - Hong Kong style. Pineapple topped buns, wife pastries, red bean pastries, egg tarts, paper wrapped sponge cakes, and red bean filled mochies are my absolutely favorites. The quality is consistent and highly reliable. My only ding is that the prices sure go up and up and up some more. Every time I come the cost inches upwards. Yikes. Considering there are so much more competition now (Kiki, 85C, June's), I'll walk away if needed. 4 stars.

We had ordered a 1/4 sheet cake for our friends daughters birthday and we're never told about any final sale policy. Unfortunately our friend had to cancel the birthday party due to an unfortunate event in the family. I called and explained the situation and was told that the money will not be refunded and all sale is final, which again was never mentioned when we placed the order and the order was 2 weeks in advance. The way the lady spoke to us was extremely hostile, rude and unprofessional. They finally refunded the money only after being told off for 5 mins on their ordering policy, and in somewhere in between I was told to come collect the refund which I have no idea what difference would it make cause they can the order via phone but not refund via phone. Won't be ordering from this place any time in the future.

I have been going to this bakery for the many years.Me and my children love this place but today I let the slender lady with short hair know that her behavior towards me and my children are not ok.I have noticed for a while she doesn't even great us,just take my card and shove the product towards us.Me and mine noticed her behaviors but didn't let that get to us.I have noticed when we use cash,I will hand her the money but when she's giving me the change back with my hand extended to receive my change she drops it at the counter,she has done this few times and I keep telling myself naaah.So today there was an Asian customer purchasing items before me and she gave her cash,when she gave her change back she placed it on her hand and wished her a good day.Now it was my time to purchase some yummy cakes,I handed her money,when it was time to give me my change back I extended my hand and she drop it at the counter.So I asked her ,why do you do that and this lady said I dont do that?I said what don't you do?she walked away and I told her she should be ashamed of herself and explained to her that her behavior is gross.She didn't even want to hear what I had to say because she knows her behavior towards me and my family is not good.I told her that I wished her a day that she deserved,life is to short to be fighting with ignorant person.Anyways time to find another bakery,I loved the place and their yummy cakes and everyone else.But that slender lady with short hair needs to search her soul.I gave it a four star review because everyone is super nice minus Miss you're too gross to be touched.

MOLD!!!! Unacceptable! Beware, they're selling old cake. I bought a slice of the mocha roll, good thing I checked before taking a bite! Moldy, gross. This is not following health codes.

Oredered a few items yesterday. I am a regular here for their pastries, but 1st time trying their stir fried items, big mistake! Scrambled creamy egg with beef Chow Fun noddles was terrible, both in presentation and taste, hardly any egg, no creamy sauce at all, and the beef was in big chewy chunks! Their cook needed some retraining for sure. This cafe need some serious consideration for better and correct ingredients for real authentic Chinese food, not American Chinese food.

They disappointed us so much today! We paid $41 for an 8" Cake but the one we received was only 5-6". After they charged us, the lady turn her back to us & started wrapping the cake. When we open the box to celebrate, we were so surprised by the cake's size. We did not mind they increased the price of the Cake but they also gave us the smaller one as well? I don't know she did this in purpose or by accident but w are very disappointed in them. We might not return to buy anymore cake from them!

Very conveniently located in the shopping area in Redmond. The area has a lot of restaurants and other stores. Regent Bakery & Cafe is combined with a full-size bakery and a restaurant together. When I walked into the store at around 4 pm on Wednesday afternoon. They have so many customers on the bakery side of the store waiting to order or picking up the bread and pastries. But the restaurant side is empty! I have purchased a couple of slice cakes and it is petty good. Little too sweet only! The ladies behind the counter are looked very busy and overloaded. No smiles and turn to another customer if you cannot decide right away! You are better to know what you wanted before walking into the store! lol!

3.5 stars Part of a family of bakeries and eateries, this location has the most variety in pastries. They have a select amount of cakes, and an adjacent café serving traditional Hong Kong-style savory foods, but the real stars are the baked goods. We typically get their Old Wives' cake (老婆饼), cream puffs, and Japanese cheesecake here. All are made fresh daily, and are just the right amount of sweetness. I particularly like the Old Wives' Cake because the glutinous rice filling is springy, chewy, and generously filled with thin flaky layers around it. Each cake is priced at $2.50, and a good sweet snack. Not overly sweet either and a good size to share. Cream puffs can be a hit or miss, but if you go before dinner time, the pastry and cream filling is smooth and fluffy. Service is pleasant, and it is busy during holiday times, especially the Lunar New Year. They have other locations in Seattle Capitol Hill and Factoria in Bellevue, and I do hope they continue to get the support during these times.

Amazing cakes! My personal favorite is the mango mousse but everything is delicious. Service is excellent, and store is clean. I knocked a star off for price (it would have been 4.5 but I can only do 4). Regent is pretty pricey, $6.25 for a single slice. Other than that AMAZING cakes. Highly reccomended!
