Hot Cakes - Ballard

This was a tasty treat! A bit pricey, but really good. The cake is mostly molten, I would’ve preferred slightly more cake to molten chocolate. I wish the cup the cake came in wasn’t paper. I really wanted to scrape the edges clean but couldn’t.

Service was friendly and kind. The vegan grilled cheese was so good! Strong green onion flavor but it was mellowed out by the nice side of red sauce for dipping. We got the brownie lava cake to share and found it to be super yummy and delicious! Our only complaint was the paper vessel it was baked in: lots of the cake stuck to the container and we couldn’t eat certain bits because paper got stuck to the crispy batter. It was a super fun dessert to share, and we enjoyed our hot drinks. Definitely coming back for milkshakes, too! Super tasty and cozy on a cold day. Great for vegans

Perfect after dinner spot or, anytime spot if you’re craving a perfect latte and sweet treat. Share a table and strike up great conversation with some locals too!

Great lil spot to visit. Gotta have the molten chocolate. Do note it is quite rich. Wouldn't recommend getting more than one to share with someone else. Got the orange hazelnut molten cake which is seasonal. Really good. Ice cream had a nice oefanxr hazelnut drip on top which was amazing. Also got a s'mores cookie on the side. The edges were a tad too dry for me. But the middle was just right. Also they added a smokey flavor which was a great touch to the cookie.

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!
