“ While heading out to Lake View Cemetery my friend wanted to stop by this little mom & pop bakery called - Despi Delite Bakery. What can I say about Despi Delite Bakery? Nice little bakery featuring some traditional Filipino baked goods, as well as traditional Americanized baked goods, & beautifully decorated cakes. So what kine bakery grindz did we pick up? We picked two boxes of Siopao, one filled with chicken, and the other filled with pork. What is a "Siopao"? It's basically the Filipino version of a manapua. Only difference is the filling also has like an egg yolk mixture, mixed with the meats. Very tasty, not too much different from da local style Chinese manapua. We also picked up some rolls, chocolate glazed donuts, and a (custard) Leche Flan. Service here was on point, as the single clerk managing the ordering counter was friendly and efficient. There was quite a bit of foot traffic in this bakery, so it was nice to see a small neighborhood bakery doing well. The next time I'm in Seattle again (if I'm in the neighborhood), garans I'll stop by Despi Delite Bakery to try more of their bakery selections. ”

“ The shop is brightly lit, their baked goods are very fresh, we got the Taho (tofu and tapioca drink), Ube ginatan, puto (mochi bites), turon (banana and jackfruit fritter) and Ube donuts. They are all yummy. The lady behind the counter who served us was quick and sociable. Will come back here for more! ”

“ What a great bakery. Amazing pastries, especially the cronuts. Fluffy like a donut, but lite like a croissant. ”

“ Best ube sheet cake in Seattle! Call at least a couple of days in advance to place your order. If you want to do half ube and half pandan, you'll need to order at least a half sheet with a $5 surcharge. It was $66 as of August 2023. Quarter sheet was $45 as of April 2024. The recommended filling is coconut amongst a number of other options. The cake is always a hit at parties and even for non-Filipinos who may not know what ube is. Besides sheet cakes, they also have a variety of other pastries lined up in the bakery. Check it out if you're in the north Beacon Hill neighborhood. ”

“ There aren't a lot of donut shops along Beacon Hill and I was happy to find this little gem during a Google search to fulfill my sudden donut craving. It's fairly easy to get to and isn't super busy when I visit. Just be careful that you don't drive past it, it's very easy to miss. They have a wide selection to donuts and pastries. I usually get a 1/2 dozen, one donut to eat in the car and then the rest for my family. Donuts are yummy and they're huge, I usually split mine in half when I get home. Apple fritters are delicious and they have good glazed donuts and maple bars. Only con would be they are a bit pricey. Recommend! 4/5 ”

“ My family frequented this bakery growing up and not much has changed in terms of quality. They are still serving up large pastries as early as 730am, and their cakes are pretty good too! I will say sometimes the cashiers take their own tip when giving you your change back so you may want to watch for that. Our favorites: glazed twist, chocolate hole, maple/bacon, and pizza croissant. ”

“ Despi Delite Bakery is a hidden gem in Seattle, offering a wide variety of Filipino baked goods and American favorites, including donuts. I've only tried their donuts, but I can confidently say they are some of the best I've ever had. The donuts are made fresh daily with high-quality ingredients. They are light and fluffy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and flavor. They offer a variety of classic and creative donuts, so there's something for everyone. Some of my favorites are the glazed donut, the chocolate donut, and the maple donut. The glazed donut is simple yet perfect, with a smooth and not-too-sweet glaze. The chocolate donut is decadent and rich, with a thick and fudgy frosting. And the maple donut is sweet and satisfying, with a sticky and flavorful glaze. ”

“ My favorite spot for sheet cakes and donuts! I've ordered here for years, the sheet cakes are wonderful, favorite flavor combo is ube with coconut filling, they use a light whip cream frosting. It's always a hit at all parties we host, I sometimes buy a quarter sheet just to enjoy when there's no birthdays happening haha. Their donuts are so yummy, love the maple bars, the dough itself is super soft and very fluffy. Easy to eat a ton, so be careful. Only thing I wouldn't recommend is their individual sliced cake. Me and my friend just got the ube slice and coffee slice, they're rectangular, but the frosting was very very stiff, crumbled, and had a fake butter flavor/texture. They were nice about it and refunded the cake slices. But heads up, the individual slices DO NOT taste like the sheet cake. Not the same frosting. Besides that, high recommend their cakes and donuts and fresh breads!! ”

“ A delightful bakery!! :D I'd get there in the morning to take advantage of all of their offerings. Besides for the pictured bread and donut, we also got an ube cookie and a guava pastry. Everything is delicious! Guava could have had more filling and was only filled on one side. Donut and cookie though were absolutely delicious. They had an interesting looking purple drink(also ube??) that I want to try next time . No line when we went, and they'll take cash or card. Also nowhere to sit but we were on our way to lunch so that wasn't a problem. Very nice and helpful staff! ”

“ Tried even more items from here and they are ALL INCREDIBLE. And so authentic. The owner is such a sweetheart :) Empanadas, Turon, and Ube Rolls were all incredible, and it's super fresh if you get them straight from the bakery. $11 for all the aforementioned! ”
