Setsuko Pastry

Food and service review here since It's an out of the way location for me but close enough to one of my favorite coffee shops in Seattle (on a different review of course). I ordered their matcha green tea cheesecake for a birthday celebration and had ordered over the phone a few days before pickup. The cake itself was beautiful and was one of the best green tea desserts I've ever had. The matcha flavor wasn't overpowering and the creaminess and sweetness were beautifully sublime. While I went to pick up my order (they offer online line ordering and curbside pickup), I had picked up other slices of the cakes and desserts. Their strawberry roll cake and chocolate mochi brownie were so good as well. I'll definitely come back to try their other offerings.

Got the matcha strawberry 9 inch fruit sponge cake as a birthday cake, it was just like the picture, and is VERY FLAVORFUL, the flavor blend works very well. I definitely want to try their other cakes.

They have some room for improvement for sure. I've ordered online. Cheesecake and yuzu panacotta we're delicious. However, flourless cake, sweet custard and mochi were flavorless with weird texture. I would definitely order again just for the yuzu panacotta though or to check a regular cake.

Please note that this review is just for the yummylicious Green Tea Strawberry cake :)I have to admit, Setsuko Pastry makes a kickass birthday cake! Ordered a green tea strawberry cake here for my mom's birthday and overall, it was a tasty treat.Loaded with fresh strawberries, the cake itself was flavorable in its rich matcha (slightly bitter) taste. This contrasted pretty well with the layers of creme inside and overall, the cake itself wasn't too sweet. Texture wise, the cake was light and fluffy and not too try.As for the cake size, it's around 9in and as I was informed, it was the only cake size available. Flavor Options: There is an option to get other flavors for the cake, so make sure to ask if green tea isn't your thing!Cost of the cake~ Roughly around $55 with tax includedWith the cake being so good, I would definitely will swing by again to try out the different desserts here! :)

Cute Japanese bakery with the delicious, Japanese baked goods you'd expect. Love that this cafe is open later than others of its kind, and while it was small, I had no problem finding a seat. Though after dinner many of their desserts were sold out.Will be back to try more yummies.

Been spending more time in Ballard since taking our pup to puppy school, so I've been trying to expand my food horizons. Was looking up pastries on Yelp and came across this gem. Located in phinney, it's inside of modern Japanese cuisine. They have a small refrigerated pastry case up front upon walking in filled with cheesecakes, mousse, tiramisu, and roll cake. I got a few Japanese cheesecake slices, matcha cheesecake, tiramisu, matcha tiramisu, and a couple of strawberry roll cake slices. Everything was delicious, creamy, light, and not overly sweet. Took a couple of items to my parents and they loved it and didn't want to share. If you're looking for desserts that aren't as rich as traditional desserts, definitely check this place out.

Under reviewed and is a Seattle hidden gem.Why doesn't Seattle know about this place? Maybe because it's tiny and is adjoined to a sushi joint.4/2/2018 As of this date, there are 9 reviews, and 2 are from Canada. They need a little bit of love.Light fluffy Japanese style desserts. I went for the matcha stuff. I like matcha.One critique: it's inside the restaurant and the sashimi smell can be a bit overwhelming for some peeps to have dessert inside.

Cutest bakery with delicious cakes and mochi. Super unassuming, take out only when I went.

The pastries and sweets here are delicious! I recommend the Yuzu Pannacotta. The owner is really nice! It's combined with Modern Japanese Cuisine, so grab some sushi while you're there! The shops are take-out only, so plan ahead.

The matcha strawberry shortcake really is pretty much perfect. It is also still good after a few days in the fridge. Most cakes get a little dry while the frosting toughensAlso tried a few other sweets: tiramisu, pudding, etc. other things were fine but I wouldn't go out of my way for themDefinitely would come back to order the cake for a birthday
