Finally made it to Hot Cakes! Not sure if it was the hype from my friends that I came in very high expectations.
Ordered the Dark Decadence which is Dark Chocolate with caramel toffee and Vanilla Ice cream. you can feel the difference in the richness of the dark chocolate. The vanilla ice cream was great and not super sweet!
Good outdoor seating with heaters that worked well during the chilly cold evening
The letdown was the ROI, the quantity and quality. I have had better chocolate cakes for the price I paid!

I’ve been coming to hotcakes since I was a kid — bringing friends, family, visitors in town, etc. Throughout all the price increases, I’ve stayed loyal to the warm chocolate chip cookie with ice cream ($16). It has never let me down until now. Tonight, the cookie was not warm and it was incredibly dry, like they had given me old ones from the day before. There were several employees working at the time and the space was not busy, so I know this was not due to understaffing or a food rush. I actually didn’t finish it, it just wasn’t worth it. Go spend your $16 on a sundae at Molly moons.

Had the warm PNW apple cobbler with vanilla ice cream, and my friend had a chocolate molten cake with hot cafe mocha. The desserts were delicious! Service was great too. Definitely recommend!

Waited a long time for 3 bites of cake that weren't even good. Portion sizes were so small. Not worth the price of a meal at all.

Was recommended to come try this place out with my friend, went on Saturday right after they opened and seen 2 employees working hard, The woman with the longer darker hair seemed to know her stuff! She gave me a good recommendation to try out the chocolate molten cake and it was absolutely delicious!! She was so friendly and nice! 🙂 Was going to order some more but noticed she was really working her butt off and helping everyone else and still helping everyone with amazing customer service to others, I didn't want to add to the busyness but definitely will visit again when I'm back in town!😁

Amazing! Not only the cakes, but also the creme brulèe, one of the best i've tried. It is pricey, though.

We tried smores molten cake and chocolate cream pie. Both were delicious, we liked their cappuccino and latte too. Will be back to try other molten cakes.

Very overpriced for the size/quality. A small dessert at the price of a main course. Too small for sharing. And the area isn’t great, lots of transients and can smell the stench of weed if sitting outside. On top of that, it upset my stomach!

Seasonal drink - Mudslide Boozy Milkshake Drink was decent but not worth $20
One of my favorite dessert spots in Seattle. Be prepared for incredibly rich and expensive food. Even though the cakes are small, you can easily split one with a friend with how decadent they are. Their other desserts, like cookies and milkshakes, are all phenomenal too. There's plenty of seating inside and a bunch of outdoor tables, too. It's not a place to go every week if you care about your diet or your wallet, but as a special treat, it's an excellent choice.

Literally so amazing! I used to come here as a treat when I lived in Magnolia and have dreamt about it for years. I was finally able to return and it was just as divine as I remembered. Is there a better combo than chocolate lava cake, caramel, and homemade ice cream? The answer is no, absolutely not. The vegan options are fantastic and I hope to be back very, very soon!

Everything about this place is smashing, which led me to order the hot chocolate. This, my dears, needs a serious revisit. It was thin, flavorless, and room temperature. Given the richness of the other offerings, I was fully anticipating real chocolate melted into whole milk with a touch of salt or spices. 0/5 on hot cocoa -- otherwise amazing!

Really good tinny desserts. It’s a chocolate bomb, if you like stuff like that 😊
