Regent Bakery & Cafe

Food took about 15 minutes when it wasn't busy. It's nice having a Chinese bakery in cap hill, though international district has better selection. The portion size for the fried rice is reasonable. Felt like this place gets a 3 star since the fried rice didn't have much chicken or salted fish. The cheese wonton were not worth it. This place would be good for groups as it has lots of seating. It also had a bar. This is a restaurant and bakery combo.

I’ve been here a couple times for happy hour (5-7pm) and dinner. The portions are good sizes for the price, and the food is pretty tasty. The service is always friendly, and the food has always come out incredibly fast. One order of fried rice (we like it with shrimp) is definitely enough for two people to share, which we like to do along with a couple drinks from the happy hour menu. I would recommend going here for a quick bite or even just for happy hour. The whole business has a restaurant seating area, bakery, and bar area.

Great standard Chinese food with a few unique things on the menu. Desserts are the stand-out. Service is friendly; food came out super quick. They said they don't have a happy hour anymore. They didn't mind when I got some work done on my laptop.

Best Chinese style fried wings in the Cap Hill area I’ve crossed upon so far. Beef and broccoli also up to par, and certainly don’t pass up the Beef Chow-Fun. you can certainly taste that each dish is decently prepared with simple yet fresh ingredients, seasoning are also there but not overwhelming. Would definitely visit again and happy to found this joint within blocks of my residency.

Didn't know that the regent bakery served Chinese food. This is a hidden gem 💎 Spice-perfect General Tso's chicken, shrimp-packed Singapore fried rice, and light, fruit cake satisfied every craving. Super fast service too - perfect for a busy day. #HighlyRecommend

just tried their Dan-Dan noodles with the new chili oil sauce and its delicious! they also have a fantastic selection of cakes and pastries!

Lunch special was ok. High price for portion of food for Chinese food. Chicken in the dish resembled fish: flat, rectangular shaped, & soft. Not to my liking. Egg roll was probably prepared earlier as it wasn't hot upon presentation. The Representative would run back and forth between the diner and the bakery register. Often causing diners to wait longer than needed for their bill. Egg drop soup was small portioned and required a bit of seasoning on my end. All in all, it was a "ok" experience.

I've been going to Regent for 18 years now since they were in their Factoria location! I've always loved the flavor of their cakes and it has been great to see them expand to multiple locations. We ordered the Swiss chocolate and fruit cake for our engagement party last weekend and everyone loved the cakes!! I really appreciated the staff working with us to write our initials in a font we like on the cake--it added a personal touch! Love Regent and will keep coming back

I came here for the egg tarts but they are only offered on the weekends. I grabbed a BBQ Pork Bun (~$4 plus tax) which was individually wrapped and great for grab-and-go. $4 can be a little pricey for a bao, but the size was fair for the price and while not necessarily overflowing with filling, I didn't feel that the bao was skimpy. The char siu had good flavor and the bread was also lightly sweet and pillowy soft; I appreciated the freshness. I would come here again to try more bakery items.

Ordered a seasonal mango cake for my husband's birthday for pick up. There was a slight mix-up but in the end all worked out and the cake was absolutely delicious! Service was friendly and helpful. Very light and fluffy and the cream on the outside was perfect! Would 100% come back again for more of their cakes/desserts. They also have food which is on my list to try, so I'll have to come back again for their dinner menu.

Revising my review once more. Regent is objectively a 3, an "okay," a "serviceable." The food is good, not great, and I will not be going back again. This used to be my favorite Chinese restaurant in Seattle. I've made a few good memories here. It takes very little to ruin a restaurant so... A server was needlessly rude to me, berating me for ordering egg foo young, even though it was no longer on the menu. I've ordered that dish for years, since I found what WAS the best EFY in Seattle. He begrudgingly put in the order and it was served and was delicious. Clearly, the ingredients were in the kitchen and the cook knew how to make it, but the dude copped a major attitude, like I had done something wrong. He could have said no, he could have been nice about it, but he was instead a little bitch. I chalked it up to him having a bad day. I was a full-time server myself for over 20 years and I cut servers a lot of slack. I'm not demanding, but I ask for what I want, and if I can't get it, I pivot. No fuss necessary. Tonight, I came in and had a different server. I asked him if the cook could make egg foo young and he said yes and took my order. A few moments later, he returned and sheepishly informed me that they no longer make it. I asked for a minute to see what else I'd want to order and he left me to the menu. Glancing up, I caught the eye of the little bitch. He had come out from the back and was now at the cash register, shooting me a stinkeye. Again, how unnecessary is this? I gathered my things and walked out and I will not be back. I note that Regent was empty. I was the only patron in the place. I passed several restaurants, all in varying degrees of busy. It was almost 6pm on a Friday. Ramen Danbo had a line. Manao was maybe half full. So here's the thing: Regent has perfectly good, "nouveau Hong Kong" cuisine. In the past, I've enjoyed their noodles, their rice, their duck, their soup, their (very expensive) pastries, but none of it really stands out. The egg foo young stood out as the ONLY high-quality EFY in the city (and I have tried it everywhere). Without this stand-out dish (which I was certainly NOT the only one fanboying over) it's just an okay Chinese restaurant among countless options on the Hill. Had the server not copped an attitude and made clear that he was hostile to me, I'd probably come back and continue to recommend it but life's too short and the Hill has too many great restaurants, many of which actually know how to not abuse customers. Hostile service will ruin an otherwise exemplary restaurant, and Regent is not exemplary. I'm done.

Tried the tiramisu from here and it was super good! The tiramisu was light but had a strong flavor which I enjoyed. Would definitely order a cake from here again

Fantastic bakery! Boba could use work but pastries are super amazing. Boba is super inconsistent with clumps of boba that is a mix of chewy and soft versus firm. They give a ton of boba too. However it is sweet, which is nice. Some boba is great and some boba is pretty bad so it can be hit or miss with each sip. Hong Kong Milk Tea - strong tea flavor, definitely more authentic and lighter sweetness by default. Also a decent amount of ice but not sure if you can adjust as it's not really a boba shop. Red Bean Mochi - loved how this mochi stretched. Red bean inside was also very generous as you'll immediately get some on a first bite and you don't have to dig for the filling in the middle. Coconut flakes on top add an interesting flavor, but I enjoyed it while I think others may not be as open. Cream Puff - they did not skimp on the cream and it was custard-like. Fluffy even at the end of the day, a must get! Eclair - like a cream puff with a chocolate top so value wise I'd rather three cream puffs. Tasty but not sure I'm a big fan at the price point in comparison to the other pastries. Egg Tart - nearing the end of the day, they weren't as fresh obviously but they were still tasty. If you come later, I highly recommend taking them home to bake a little bit and let the egg custard rise otherwise it may be flat.

Best cake in Seattle such amazing place. Thank you very much for making my weekend.Great I like your service and thank you very much

Ok this pastry really hit the spot, it was the right blend of savory meets sweet. Would highly recommend if you need a quick pick me up snack. BUT I think it would taste better heated up, I didn't like it at room temperature. I wish they'd heat them up in the store.

I am huge fan of Regent cakes. They have amazing cakes but yes they are pricey. 6inch cake will cost you 40$ while any other bakery you can get a 8inch cake on same price. But I can't put myself away from their awesome cakes. This Regent is huge one with variety of food and drink options . A great place to hang out with friends with amazing dessert. Sometime they don't have much quantity of cakes for the size you need , so I really feel they should make enough cakes so you always have options to pick , so reducing a star. Parking is tough

Got salt and pepper chicken wings and beef chow fun to go. It was good. They had karaoke that evening which seemed like fun.

My husband, a couple of friends, my 18 month old daughter, and I all came in ready for some delicious food. And they delivered! After sitting us down with a high chair, they quickly took our order (soup, 4 entrees, some rice, and some bbq pork buns) and almost as quickly, had our order served. It was delicious. Highly recommend the honey walnut shrimp and pork buns. The hot and sour soup was delicious too. Afterwards, we had to try the black forest cake. So yummy! I'd love to try their bubble tea next time!

The green onion bun/bread is to die for! Anytime I'm in the neighborhood, I stop by to pick up a few. So delicious and very affordable.

Ever since "A Piece of Cake" closed down, I've been looking for a place that serves delicious cookie crusted dat tats and I've found the place and it's here! Every time I'm at any Regent location, I usually order half a dozen of their yummy dan tats.

OMG this bakery has some of the BEST asian bakery treats I have ever had. Everything I've tried has been incredible. This time got the beef curry bun, milk powder bun, and taro pineapple. All under $3 ($2.85 or something like that). The milk powder filling was this crazy good condensed milk fudge. The bread is fresh, super soft, and dense.

They carry Black Forest cake! Really soft and not too sweet. I had Black Forest for the first time in decades.....it took me back to my childhood! Thank you, Regent!

We came here for dessert and the people working there were confused on helping us. The made me pay a bag fee without giving me a bag.

The cakes are light and very good. I love the strawberry cake. I don't really like their pastries that are off to the side on the shelves, so I don't recommend that

Their mango mousse cake is a drug! I swear it is. It's around $42 for a large cake and $23 for a small 5 inch cake. So yes, it's a pricey one but it's not your standard grocery store cake. Great hours, and variety of desserts. They also do savoury products but the cake is better. Parking around the bakery is a big challenge, so try and walk or commute in some other way there.

The beef chow fun and fried rice dishes are pretty solid, albeit a bit salty. The cakes and breads are delicious and so cute!

Cakes & tarts!!! This was the second location of east side regent. I've actually dined in here a few times. It's right on caphill/ 14th and Pine: busy area. Décor was nice. And the menu was good. I remember their chow fun, beef noodles and their stir fry dish plus the wings! They were fun and delicious. But now mostly come here for their bakery items when I'm craving their sweets. Cream puffs, egg tarts and variety of cakes. Even though it should be the same as east side location ( or their factoria ones), cakes are usually a ok from here unless I've ordered a whole cake. For a whole cake, their fruit cakes are always amazing and they used to only require 24 hours notice or 48 hours. It's usually a very easy to order process. Recently, I've tried cakes by the slices and they seem to come out dry/ or on the dryer side. I've gotten so used to trekking down to east side for their cakes that I forget they are still here sometimes. It's a good backup option whenever I get a chance. Bakery items are definitely worth a visit!

I haven't tried the dim sum or pastries, but I thoroughly enjoyed the desserts that I tried. I bought two slices of cake, the strawberry fruit cake and a mango mousse cake, that were perfect for small dessert. Going to come back and try some of their buns and other pastries.

Regent Bakery has really declined - their bakery buns (cocktail, pineapple, cream) have almost zero filling inside - for the price, you're just paying for bread and totally not worth it. Their wife cake is filled with mochi instead of wintermelon, unbelievable. There are way better Chinese bakery choices around.

Favorite Chinese restaurant in the city. On the rare occasion they make a mistake they go above and beyond to make things right. The cakes are excellent as well. Max is the reigning queen of customer service.

I don't like this place and I'm not sure why my friend loves dragging me here, but I've been here twice already and both visits have been mediocre. For both times I've visited, it took forever for us to get seated. I understand they run both a bakery and a restaurant, but maybe they should have both sections covered by two different people versus having one person man both areas. It was excruciatingly annoying to just awkwardly stand near the entrance for maybe 5 minutes to wait to be seated, especially when we had made eye contact with the person behind the counter. We came during happy hour and ordered their long beans, dan dan noodles, and salt and pepper chicken wings from their happy hour menu. Everything was extremely salty, especially the dan dan noodles. The dish was extremely oily and needed some contrast in flavor. The chicken wings were ok to be honest and I didn't really care for the long beans. The food came out in a timely manner, but it took awhile to receive the check. Not to mention our server wasn't that great. Definitely not a place you should ever go out of your way for.

We are huge fans of this place as it summarizes our favorite things into one single place: cakes, drinks, bakeries, authentic foods, great service, and a quiet atmosphere. - Cakes: Make sure to try their sponge cake rolls! It's one of the few places that makes fresh, fluffy cake rolls. - Bakeries: They have some really high-quality toasts and savory bread which we enjoy. - Foods: We like pretty much all items on the menu, but the Deep Fried Tofu with Garlic is our favorite, especially when dining in.

Great service, the cake was better looking than it tasted. Kinda felt like the aesthetic was more important than the flavor pretty bland flavorless cake with overly simplified ingredients. Might please someone looking for cute boring cake but i was hoping for more for the price.

Delicious! My favorite is probably the raisin cream bun, which combines shredded coconut, buttery flakes, and raisins inside a slightly crispy bun. The pineapple bun is a step above most pineapple buns - there's an extra layer of that wonderful eggy, buttery crispy topping, and the inside of the bun is incredibly fluffy and lightly buttery - like a croissant dough that turned into an Asian pastry fluffy dough. Many other interesting things as well, but I recommend going before the crowds get there on the weekends - they sell out of good stuff, for good reason.

We got the fresh mango pastry and the Swiss chocolate pastry. They weren't as fresh as they usually are but were still decent.

The Regent Bakery & Cafe in Pine Street is more like a restaurant or bar than a bakery! They have a counter inside the dining room area selling pastries and baked goods! I did not try their restaurant or bar. This review is for the bakery section only! When I walked into the restaurant. The first catch my eyes is the bar with many wines and liquors on the display and a few customers at the bar and the bartender. The other side is a dining room for the restaurant area is empty at the time at around 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The bakery counters are in between the bar area and the dining area with some pastries and baked goods there. We are the only customers there for the bakery at the time. We purchased a few items and it looks okay, but it seems not as fresh as the other bakeries in the area! But it tasted good! Street parking only. Not very easy to find a parking space in this area. I have to make a few circles before I can get a parking space! It may be better for the customers in the area without driving!

Light and airy cakes, love it. The pickup/ transaction could get quicker but overall very delicious cakes.

Had dinner at Regent last night. I ordered calamari and wonton soup. Service was very friendly. My calamari was amazing. Very flavorful. And wonton soup is a generous portion. Enough for leftovers. The dining room and bar area are decorated cute and spacious. Great experience. We will be back!

Best Chinese style fried wings in the Cap Hill area I've crossed upon so far. Beef and broccoli also up to par, and certainly don't pass up the Beef Chow-Fun. you can certainly taste that each dish is decently prepared with simple yet fresh ingredients, seasoning are also there but not overwhelming. Would definitely visit again and happy to found this joint within blocks of my residency

They have a variety of buns and pastries. I got a few things to try and they are delicious. I like how each bun is individually wrapped that I can bring on the go for a hike or work lunch. The egg tart was served cold so I was a bit disappointed but there was a lot of filling with thin crust which I like. Would come back if I'm in the area to try other pastries.

Their cakes are okay. They're not the worst but they're definitely not the best either. I would save your money and go to a Korean bakery instead.

Tasty Chinese takeout and delivery! Beautiful cakes and fresh Chinese pastries. Consistently pleased with their dishes - decent menu selection, consistent quality and execution, reasonable prices. Rice Cake Stir-fry with Pork - super tasty wok-fried rice cake! Perfectly wok-fried rice cake, lightly seared and stir-fried with pork and cabbage. One of the best versions in Seattle! Dried Beef Chow Fun - consistently delicious! Not overly oily, tastes fresh and good ratio of beef to noodle. Buddha's Feast - outstanding. Black wood ear, mushroom, fresh snap peas, water chestnuts, braised tofu on saucy bean thread glass vermicelli noodles. Savory and satisfying. Garlic Bok Choy - very fresh, flavorful, not oily Skip: Mu Shu Pork - average, largely veggie, hit or miss Charsiu Pork (BBQ pork) - tasteless, lean commodity pork. Hard pass House pastries are delicious and freshly baked, particularly love the taro bun!

Back on 4/1/17, no luck at Regent ended up at Nue. This afternoon, the complete opposite with no luck at Nue, ended up at Regent on 8/13/17. This focused on their dim sum brunch offered on Thursdays to Sundays 1030am to 3pm. Pastries and cakes are delicious too (photographed their pastry cases), but I've only had them at their Bellevue/Eastgate location. Aside from ice water, The Homie ordered their Hong Kong iced milk tea ($3). I sampled a sip, tasty and not as sweet as other milk teas I've had elsewhere. Pro tip: Make sure to enunciate and/or reiterate your dim sum order. I'll explain later in this Yelp post. Dim sum selections we enjoyed: 1- Siomai ($4) 1- Scallop and Shrimp dumplings ($5) 1- Honey Walnut Prawns ($8) 1- Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings ($7.95) 1- BBQ Pork Steamed Buns ($3) Asked for two orders, but got only one Was given 2 Shrimp dumplings instead. Had one untouched steam basket taken away, even though I said I'd pay for both. We ate the other, saw the one taken away brought back to the kitchen. Then saw a pair brought back out to a family 4 top probably it was intended for. Were those fresh or one of them resteamed? Whatever. Anyways, for their mistake of one less steamed bun order and not charged for the shrimp dumplings, we came out ahead. Tipped beyond 20% to compensate though. Orders were taken and brought out fairly fast, water refilled, empty plates and baskets taken away, but not much in welcoming warmth from the reception/wait staff. But the quality of the dim sum was fresh and tasted outstanding.

My friends and I were walking around Capitol Hill and one of them said she wanted to eat Dim Sum. We decided to eat at Regent. As we sat down at the table my friend mention the atmosphere felt like she was in China again. It's a nice neighborhood restaurant. The employees were friendly and service was quick during lunch time. Food was pretty good. I bet they're really busy Friday and Saturday nights. Not the first place I think of when I'm craving Dim Sum but If you can't make it down to Jade Garden or Harbor City then this is a good alternative.

Ordered from UberEats and took over 1.5 hours before the food was ready to pickup. The first uber driver noticed me he had to cancel the pickup because you were taking too long to box up the food. Once it finally arrived at my house, everything was cold. The sweet and sour chicken was so soggy and gross. The bok choy had so much garlic is was practically inedible.

My friend said this is coffee cake. It's really good! The cream is creamy, and the cake is not too sweet. Would buy their cake next time for other birthdays.

We stopped by to grab a birthday cake. Their chocolate mousse cake was delish. The food was also good and very authentic. We had couple noodle dishes and pop corn chicken. Decent amount of food and will not make u feel bloated after.

Cakes are excellent. Reasonably priced. Good service. I don't know anyone who doesn't like their desserts.

I had this taro bun and it's so good! The bread is soft and the filling is generous. Love it!

Regent is really good when u want dessert in Capitol hill but ur not in the mood for ice cream. Regent has a super good bakery, lots of variety, Asian sponge/fruit cakes, cheesecake, pastries, cookies, mochi, cram puffs. I have only ever eat here for dessert, so i cant review the entree foods. But the desserts are good and i like that they are open til 10pm. I love the slices of cake like the strawberry. I love the cream puffs, very good, nice size. and I love the cheesecake. the cheesecake is lighter/fluffier, more like Japanese style. its not your regular Costco thick cheesecake.

Love this place for its pastries! My friend and I were walking down the street and I noticed the baked goods, so having had some cravings we just jumped in! The pastries and cakes look so good! They also have a section for artisan bread. We got a few different things to try out like swiss roll (very light and fluffy), cream puff (tasty and light), and napoleon. Napoleon was different from what Ive tried before and the original recipe. Didnt bother me that much but i prefer original napoleon. The staff is really friendly and helpful. This place is a chinese restaurant mainly so i would love to go back and try the dim sum and food!

Regent Bakery & Cafe Capitol Hill's location in Seattle has VERY POOR customer service since the Manager is reluctant to come out and hear our complaints on our cakes order. When the servers are asked on who the Manager is, their answer is it's "personal information" and they can not disclose that so we do not even know the Manager is to call the restaurant/ bakery/ cafe back, and they can not have the Manager call me back. One would wonder why this restaurant Manager does not want to be involved in customers experiences, dissatisfactions?

My sister, Teresa's favorite bakery for cakes so I had to drop by and pick up the Tiramisu. It's light and fluffy but not too sweet with the perfect hint of coffee (the perfect balance for my family's tastebuds). The workers are so pleasant and helpful each time I drop by with a special request for the note on the cake. They just ask that I write it down on some receipt paper (even Vietnamese!). Can't wait for the next birthday or reason to stop by.

Hands down the best desserts i've had in the seattle area. Perfect amount of sweetness and incredible taste justifies the $7-8 for one small pastry. I'll be back to try more flavours!

I've been going here for a number of years and this place is great. They got a new chef a few years back and everything is always very good. For Seattle the prices are great and the portions are big. Definitely a great spot for Chinese food on Capitol Hill!

So yummy! I've never been there for meals, but their bakery items are top notch. Delicious green onion buns and egg tarts. They also have good sponge cake rolls and cakes! Would recommend for whole asian cakes too at a good price.

Favorite favorite place for baked goods! Just the right amount of sugar. Cannot recommend their mango mousse cake and blackforest cake enough. Love all their pastries and swiss rolls - best cake shop in Seattle (and will give New York bakeries a run for their money). So glad to have found it!
