We love trying new places once a week, and this week, we decided to try Tres Lecheria to satisfy our sweet tooth. These cakes are made ready to purchase, so we were able to walk up to the refrigerator case and pick out the flavors we wanted. We ended up spending $36 total for 4 flavors: Mexican mocha, pandan, matcha, and dulce de leche. Digging out spoons into our first bite, we immediately noticed how soft the cake was. There was a good amount of milk pooled at the bottom, so we knew it was going to be a good bite. We were pleasantly surprised by how accurate the flavor descriptions were of each tres leches. It was also great that they weren't overwhelming sweet either. I was skeptical how well they would pull off the pandan flavor, but I thought they nailed it! My favorite was the dulce de leche, and I would definitely recommend this shop to others!

Overall, tasty cake. But the frosting on top was not good at all.

Been here couple of times - wasn’t sure the first time around so I came back again. Last time there wasn’t enough liquid in the cake. But this time they made up for it with new flavours and more liquid.I absolutely loved orange cream ❤️ - highly recommend this if you like this flavour. Also tried strawberry, sooo gooood!Don’t remember if there’s parking right outside but there’s plenty of street parking available inside the neighbourhood right next to the shop. Lady at the counter seemed super sweet ?

got the traditional Tres Leches Cakethis was straight up an incredible cakefrom the time i took my first bite, i was immediately surprised as to how flavorful this wasthe amount of milk soaked in this cake, and the amount that the cake absorbed, was unreali'm pretty used to dry cakes at this point - so the cake being this wet was so uniquewhen you think about a cake being wet, normally it's not a good thing, but in this case the surrounding milkhad so much flavor, so much sweetness, that it gave each bite of the normally-boring cake inside an incredible tastespeaking of the sweetness, this was an astoundingly sweet cake, maybe the sweetest cake i've ever hadhowever, this wasn't sickly sweet - on the contrary the sweetness, combined with the milk flavor, created a powerfultaste that was absolutely fantasticthis place was also unique in the amount of milk used - there was so much that the bottom of the cake box was almost full of milkthis had a disadvantage - that i'll get to later - but the advantage was that it drenched every part of the cake in that sweet milk goodnessI'd never had tres leches cake before - so I didn't know what to expect - but I simply didn't expect a cake to be this flavorful, the result of pouringthree types of milk over the finished cakeThe whipped cream icing on top also tasted pretty goodwhat makes this cake great can really be seen when comparing it to other cakesother cakes have an inside that's light and fluffy - they have some flavor but the real flavor comes from the icingin this cake, due to the milk and sugar mixture that gets absorbed into the cake, each inside bite comes with that icing flavor + betterwith that said, this gets really close to a perfect score, but I can't give it that for a couple reasonsFirstly, the icing is just whipped cream. Which is fine - it tasted good - but I can't help but think a real icing would've made this a lot better.The whipped cream is simply too airy and light to really taste like anythingSecondly, the cake is simply too runny. I recognize this is part of what brings the flavor in, but the downside of this is when taking out slicesof the cake (and not eating it directly from the box) the milk gets all over your plate and the texture isn't great. There's also justtoo much milk at the box in the endOverall, the most flavorful cake I've ever had. 9.75/10

Super cute spot that has amazing Tres Leches slices! Located in a small storefront near the University of Washington, this bakery is a gem! On a recent visit I was greeted warmly by the person at the counter. She entertained my endless questions about the beautiful artwork and the different flavors of cake. Tres Lecheria has definitely perfected an old favorite. Besides traditional tres leches slices, there are several different flavors to pick from. On this visit I decided to get Pistachio, Pumpkin Chai, Coconut, and Horchata. Another awesome thing that they offer is a punch card. If you get 8 slices, the 9th one is free. I didn't need another reason to come back for more, but the punch card is a sweet addition! The Pumpkin Chai was amazing! I devoured it as soon as I got home and it was super delish. I have no doubt the other flavors will be just as good. I will definitely be returning.

The staff was very friendly and professional! I left a message that my friend birthday would be on Monday, but I needed to pick up the cake on Saturday. The staff gave me a call and asked if I would like it frozen for maximum freshness on Monday, and instructed me on thawing it in preparation for her birthday. The cake was a massive hit! The flavor is amazing! Thank you so much.

First off, I have been having a craving for tres leches cake and this totally satisfied my craving! I got the traditional flavor and it was perfect. I am looking forward to the next time I order from here because I am interested in trying from their range of flavors. I ordered delivery from DoorDash so I never saw the interior, but they put a smiley face on my bag and I thought that was the most wholesome thing ever! Amazing customer service.

Hours of operation on here are not correct. I showed up 4 hours before “closing time” and the place is closed.Waste of my time - businesses should be responsible for keeping advertised hours honest.
Some places have a hella of a reputation for a darn good reason, and Tres Lecheria is squarely in this category. When you make one thing great, just keep making that one thing. Tres Lecheria, as the name implies, makes the famous tres leches - a sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and whole milk. This cake is popular throughout Latin America. I am in multiple foodie groups, and when it comes to tres leches cake, there is only one reply - Tres Lecheria. They sell their milk-soaked cake slices precut and prepackaged in containers. Getting the traditional is a must. It is certainly not the only flavor. I eyed horchata, dulce de leche, sweet corn & honey, before I finally decided to go bonkers and got matcha. Honestly, traditional is the way to go. They also sell seasonal flavors. They are currently offering pumpkin chai and eggnog. Each of the small slices are $8. It is a weighty slice that takes two of us to finish. A whole cake is $35 for twelve slices. Need to pre-order online. Service is as swift as you want, or without anyone behind us, we b.s. a bit with the lady. The décor is cute with some tchotchkes for sale. Highly recommend!

I’m sorry but this is not Tres leches, I’m stunned that many people really liked this. The milk is just too runny, and literally can sense the milk taste lol. I wonder if they have used any condensed and evaporated milk at all. Please improve it as your customers may like it more if you make the dessert right.I have tasted some best tres leches, among one is the Portos Bakery in LA. You guys need to try that.Reply to your comment - When I commented that you might not have used any condensed or evaporated milk, why did you refer to canned products? Do you know they can also be made from scratch without using preservatives?If this is your style of making this cake, you could have named it something else or at least added some little description to it about how you made it differently unlike the traditional tres leches. We came all the way and got this thinking this might be the actual tres leches, but its no way near to that. Well, Im not being rude but the way you didn’t take any feedback instead covering up is not at all appreciated.

Super delicious! Nice milky sweet taste but wasn't overly sweet. Horchata flavoring isnt too overpowering. One star down just because the price is a little steep and the service wasnt amazing. We told the lady it was our first time there but she didnt really seem to care or seem enthusiastic. We asked for recommendations and she said horchata was the most popular followed by traditional and then dulce de leche. Overall would consider coming again to try other flavors or to pic one up for special occasions.

So delicious, light, fluffy, perfectly sweet (though I do have a big sweet tooth). Super satisfying without feeling too heavy or artificial. Literal yum in my tum
