Shikorina Pastries

How could I NOT visit a shop which claims to have enhanced a childhood treat- the Pop Tart? I popped in the day the new shop opened. The sales team were upbeat and friendly. The ambience was relaxed, with nice natural lighting. Everything was clean and ready to go.I selected their Strawberry version of the Poptart. Delish! The pastry is similar to a shortbread but not as rich or dense. A bit on the flaky side. The jammy interior is plentiful and has a nice bit of tartness. The light drizzle on top looked just right. Definitely want to try the other versions now!I picked up one of the chocolate chip cookies for a friend (and because I have been taste testing chocolate chip cookies all over the downtown area). Vegan? Check. Gluten free? Check. Sufficient and good quality chocolate chips? Check, and check. My friend gobbled it down, but I was able to nab a taste. Great flavor! The BeriBeri caramel walnut cookie stole the show though. What an intriguing combination. I bought one for a friend and one for me. She sent me a text 2 hours later saying "I can't stop thinking about this cookie!" She was right. Another terrific cookie dough; substantial but still flaky. Very subtle caramel, a few walnuts sprinkled inside to tantalize your tongue. But the beriberi jam (which I suspect to be a strawberry or cherry jam enhanced with peri peri sauce) plentiful, with a light tartness and soicy kick to finish. It plays off so well with the shortbread. I can't stop thinking about it either... I'll be back for these again!

Stopped in on a Tuesday morning and had a blueberry muffin and honey lavender latte with oat milk. Both super yummy and great service!

I just got back from my trip to Seattle and I must say Shikorina Pastries was definitely a highlight of my trip! I ordered a vanilla latte(I'm basic I know lol) but it was one of the best I've ever had!! My partner ordered a London fog and she added a sweetener to it as well, I believe it was honey lavender. We were both really excited about our drinks. The star of the show was definitely the cookie we order I can't remember the name but it was a chocolate chip cookie with caramel and BERBERE!!! This was such a creative recipe and had our taste buds doing the happy dance lol. Last but not least the owner was so friendly!! I felt right at home knowing the owner was not only Habesha but also Queer!! Y'all please check this place out, you will not regret it!

Arrived little late in the day. Around 3pm. This was the only pastry location that had a selection, was open and in walking distances. I arrived, and the first impression I had was it looked like a little house from the outside. Very cute. I arrived, and it seemed like it was giving off a lounge, coffee, study spot. Inside was very stuffy and hot, it wasn't a cold day at all. I was the only one there. Female staff was there. As someone who is a visual person. I was unable to find any of the pastries available, and the menu was very hard to understand and read. When I expressed my concerns of not knowing what is available, the worker looked at me as if i was stupid and didn't know English. I realized the shelf was on the other side. I would recommend them removing that wall. When i chose the strawberry pop tart she just handed it to me, rang me up and left. I was left wondering if i was even allowed to sit and eat inside. For a $5~ pastry, i would expect better service. The pop tart itself, had a great outside crunch. However the filling inside was DEATHLY sweet. I even crumbled the whole thing just to remove the jelly and eat only the outside. Kid friendly i assume but NOT adult friendly. Won't be coming back.

An adorable unassuming house on Union with the loveliest baked goods and barista! I highly recommend the housemade poptart; I enjoyed the texture of the poptart crust, as well as the taste. My favorite cookie is the snickerdoodle, and I was hesitant about the honey snickerdoodle, but it turned out to be really delicious, and had a nice texture as well. I was worried it would have a strong honey flavor, but it just lended a nice sweetness to it.

A fantastic indie bakeshop in Seattle's Central District that has quite the quality line up. No surprise that several products were sold out by the early afternoon of my first visit (12/9/21)Ordered three items to share with The Homie: Strawberry Poptart, Chocolate Chunk with Sea Salt Cookie, and Chocolate Chunk Brownie. A delightful aroma once the box is opened. Each are made with quality ingredients and baked with love!Just exercise caution dealing with the stairs to get to the ordering window. I don't know if there is alternate access if one is mobility challenged.One word - B R O W N I E. Get it. Rich decadent chocolatey goodness.

I wish I took a photo of the beautiful pumpkin bread and sea salt chocolate chunk cookie- but I promise they were delicious! The house roasted beans made for a delicious drip coffee as well. Thank you for sharing your inside space with us as well!

I ordered a cake for my wife birthday we LOVED it. I ordered a salted caramel flavor with cream cheese frosting and they paired very well together; if you like a decedent dessert this is definitely a good flavor! Also, the woman at the register when I picked up the cake was also gracious enough to build a box that was big enough to transport the cake in.I already plan on ordering something from this bakery whenever another special occasion comes up but the fact that they have a rewards points system for system for purchases is a great added benefit.

I got a slice of the red velvet cake with chocolate ganache and cream cheese frosting. Unfortunately the cake was hard and not moist at all :/ the frosting was fine thoughMaybe I'll come back for their other pastries but not for the cake.

I had my best friend pick up the cake . Because I wanted to be surprised! Boy was I surprised after I blew out the candle!!! I was so upset! It ruined part of the evening because the cake tooooo sweet! Only 2 people ate half their pieces. The rest of us weren't able to! It was heavy and hard!Besides looking horrible! So disappointed! I have never paid this much for a cake in my life! And I will never go to their business again! No return phone call,no apology nor a refund! 'The SweetSide' has wonderful, delicious and beautiful cakes! Less expensive and worth every penny!
