My husband ordered me a beautiful birthday cake as a surprise. The cake tasted very good and the filling which night have been strawberry reminded me of a pop tart! The cake was on the harder side (I kind of wish it was a little more moist and cakey) and the buttercream frosting was also quite firm but it held up well and looked really nice! I can't say much about service or ambiance because I didn't pick up the cake, but it's on my list to visit their cafe and try out their other goods!

Service: standard Ambiance: open concept with lots of purple hue. Enjoyable. Food: for me, the sweetness level was too much. I do acknowledge this is relative but still prefer it to be on the lighter if not at least a balance of sweetness. The pastry it self, was very nice, I bet I would love their savory version. The crust of the pop tart was just perfection but was thrown off by the overly sweet filling. I think a mixture of a fresh tart fruit would balance it out!

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!

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 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 though Maybe I'll come back for their other pastries but not for the cake.

I can only speak to the vegan options, but they were delicious! Compostable packaging and thoughtful tipping policies make this a place I'm stoked to continue supporting. Definitely pop in!

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!
Super cute place! Love that there are gluten free options and the employees are very friendly! <3

Amazing place! The pop tarts are super flaky and yummy, and there are always interesting cake slices every day. Drinks are also delicious. 0 waste and sliding scale prices available as well :)Cute space in the back to get work done with decent wifi. At time of writing there are also half off drinks 2-4pm for people dining in.

We got a strawberry pop tart, chocolate chip cookies, and a vegan chocolate chip cookie. They were all delicious, and the vegan chocolate chip cookie was one of the best we've had! It was very reasonably priced, and the service was great!Dietary restrictions: They had vegan options, which was why we chose this bakery.

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.
