Eat everything possible on site. All of it will melt your brain. Fact. The salted caramel sauce is an excellent balance of actual caramelized cane sugar and salt - absolute must for salt/caramel nuts .

Autumn Martin serves up cookies and seasonal savory treats like grilled cheese and salads , the real treats at Hot Cakes are the melty centered chocolate cakes and the inventive boozy milkshakes . Read more

Tyler Butler

It took nearly 40 mins to get our cakes on a busy Saturday night (20 mins in line , another 20 for them to bake), but they were worth it. Great gluten-free and vegan options too!

Allie Caudle

Mouthwatering and magical, you can't pass by without being pulled in! Try the Peanut Butter Cup , or if you are looking for a night cap the Chocolate Hanky Panky.

Megh Vakharia

Get the dark chocolate sandwich . It's a pretty unique treat - heaps of melted dark chocolate on toasted potato rye bread and warm caramel dip on the side. Don't miss it!

J Skyler Wagner

Everything here is fantastic. If you like oozy, rich chocolate , this is the place to be. Not sure what makes dry burned caramel so special, but it's the cakes I come for.

Sannidhi ????

Vegan dark chocolate cake and with vanilla cashew ice cream ????

Sarah Foley

I can vouch for the peanut butter cup molten cake and the choc . chip cookie . Very rich and so delicious, come hungry!

Jeena James

Decadence - gluten and dairy free cake , Theo chocolate , dry burned caramel , toffee nibs and vanilla ice cream

Patricia Lee

You'll see little hot cakes in the freezers around Seattle, but this is the source. Go for dessert after Walrus and Carpenter :) Shakes are great too! And fresh!

Rushika Deshpande

The Chocolate decadence is brilliant if you are a choc lover

E Lee

One dessert is just not enough. The molten cakes were perfect and it's organic and vegan !

Gokkus

Try Milk Chocolate Hazelnut cake . The icecream with citrus crumb was amazing ????

Tana Babcock

Always super busy on the weekends but the line moves quickly and it’s worth it! Bread pudding is outstanding ????????

Allie Caudle

Molten, decadent deliciousness. Try the Peanut Butter Cup , or if you are looking for a night cap the Chocolate Hanky Panky.

Phuong Nguyen

It's a place you would like even if you're not into sweets. Should I mention it's also very Instagram friendly ? Happy hour runs from 4PM to 6PM, Monday through Friday!

Kimberly Goode

This place is AMAZING. The dark decadence is so rich I shared it and it was just the right amount. If I had one to myself I might have gone into a diabetic coma and I don't even have diabetes.

Kate Hailey

Fab deserts , boozy milkshakes , what more could you need?? lines in the evening, especially in summer.

Lloyd Bagtas

Forgo the molten cakes and go straight for the bread pudding and a glass of milk with a chocolate chip with ice cream . NOOOOOICE!

nikki

warm chocolate cakes ? mmm. served with all natural ice cream ? mmm. in adorable mason jars with little wooden spoons?! MMM

Kevin McCormick

If this is your first time, get the Chocolate Decadence - it's their signature dessert . Cookie was a waste, but the s'mores shake was amazing!

Alan L

You can get a tiny hot cake , or a generous slice of smoked chocolate whiskey cake (that's cheaper). Do The Right Thing.

Alaa Shaker

OK, the hot cakes are pretty good. I'll give them that. I just thought the Dark Decadence was too heavy, so I opted out and got the Chocolate Chip Cookie w/ Ice Cream instead. This was SOOO good!

Allison Yu

The caramel makes the dark decadence cake . Beware of the strong whiskey flavor in the whiskey cake !

Grace Santos

Get the peanut butter chocolate molten cake and a glass of milk :) And get there early to find a seat!!

George Lee

The dark decadence was sure decadent.

Shayan Sanyal

The standard chocolate molten cake is so good

Kassi Sandstrom

You can't go wrong with a molten chocolate cake . Any of the rich flavored are good!

Jeff Shaw

They actually read the 10+ comment cards my wife wrote and just added it a cookie punch card. Happy wife=happy night.

Ryan

Boozy shake + dark chocolate decadence cake .

Mike Grafham

The chocolate desserts are rich, lovely and make you want to go back for another :)

Joel Creswell

The boozy shakes are among the best desserts in town !

grace cho

Everything! The coffee is amazing!!

Mingfei Yan

They serve ice cream , coffee and cup cake here. New stop after lunch or dinner .

Jason Sussman

This place was outstanding. You know its a good place when there's a massive line down the sidewalk.

Lillian Young

Open late is a big draw. One of the best chocolate desserts in town .

Rebecca Bautista

They have butterbeer ... I think that's self explanitory. Also, they have the best cookies I've ever had.

Aveena Mathew

S'mores cake was fantastic

Genki U.

Typical overly-sweet cake blob thing. Also needs gluten to make it a cake . Ice cream and creme brûlée was nice though.

Robert Radich

Molten chocolate cake is all I need to say. It seems to be a popular choice.

Neel Hajare

If you’re going to go, get the peanut butter . But everything is pretty expensive for what you get

Corey Rawdon

Vegan caramel sauce and a vegan dark chocolate cake ? Sign me up! Oh wait, I've already had it... So now it's your turn!

Nancy Wu

Dark chocolate molten lava cake , what's not to love?!

Cindy Chesbro

Delicious cakes . Huge line . Turns over quick though. Don't go if you're claustrophobic.

Daniel Tewfik

Cool shop, interesting specialty. Try some sauces

Lyndsey L

Surprisingly, you might actually get buzzed on a boozy shake before you fall into a sugar coma

Cody Kirkwood

I recommend making your own. Faster service, non-vegan...a win-win!

Alice Huang

Can't go wrong with brownie and vanilla ice cream .

Stacy Hotes-Aprato

Smokey chocolate chips ! Very smokey.

Ulysses .

This was good but not $33 good. Got two tiny molten cakes with ice cream . Probably $4 worth of ingredients.
