Peach 75: Light and refreshing with a pretty pink hue, this is a lovely summertime twist on a classic French 75. It features a house-infused fresh peach gin, balanced by lemon juice and a float of sparkling wine. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Blueberry Cornmeal Cookie: The ultimate comfort cookie. A buttery cornmeal sugar cookie packed with sweet dried blueberries and a touch of salt, reminiscent of a blueberry muffin in cookie form. Even better warmed up and draped in ice cream and caramel sauce.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

The newest summertime refreshments to join the HC menu ☀️

House-Made Cola: We’ve reimagined the classic soda fountain cola using clean, simple ingredients. Our scratch-made version balances bright citrus notes with a deep blend of warm botanicals and spices. It’s a cleaner, more complex cola experience that shines on its own, and the ultimate upgrade for adults looking to pair it with a premium spirit.

Sour Cherry Soda: A little nostalgia in a glass. 🍒✨ Our newest summer mocktail brings back all the memories of ordering a classic Shirley Temple, but with a fresh, tart twist. Made with real sour cherries, it’s a bubbly, refreshing treat the kids will love—and the perfect canvas for adults looking to spike their soda.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Blackberry Lavender Molten Cake: A reimagined version of our beloved summer molten cake. This revamp features a decadent lavender custard alongside our signature lavender white chocolate crumble. The blackberry jam, crafted simply from blackberries and sugar, delivers a concentrated berry punch that perfectly balances the floral lavender notes. This seasonal special will be available through the summer, with a new special launching in the fall. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Peach Betty: Meet the Betty. A comforting cross between a fruit crisp and bread pudding. While traditional recipes utilize fruit layered with bread crumbs, we elevate ours with house-toasted white cake and tender, gently poached peaches. Baked until bubbling and golden, it’s served warm and finished with a scoop of premium Lopez Island vanilla ice cream.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Weekend Dessert Special 🚨 🌈

Pride-fetti Ice Cream Sandwich: A refreshing combination of vanilla ice cream featuring a hidden passionfruit curd center, all nestled between two of our signature citrus funfetti cookies. These treats are perfect as a quick grab-and-go option from our retail freezer, or they can be sliced in half by our team to enjoy with a summer cocktail. We are debuting this special sandwich to celebrate Seattle Pride Weekend and will continue serving them as long as supplies last.

Blackberry Smash Boozy Milkshake: Calling all blackberry lovers! This seasonal boozy treat is a true PNW celebration, overflowing with sweet, earthy notes of fresh blackberry. We've layered the flavor using our housemade jam and blackberry-infused whiskey for a summery shake you won't want to miss.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Momma’s Chocolate Layer Cake:

We heard you loud and clear and we're happy to announce she’s back on the menu! 🍫🍒. This nostalgic dessert features three layers of moist, tender chocolate cake filled and frosted with a rich, scratch-made cocoa buttercream. It’s served alongside a glossy compote of Washington Bing cherries, slowly simmered with star anise and a bold red wine. Brittany was inspired by her own mom’s favorite things when creating this dish: fudgy cake, local cherries, and a great glass of red. Generously sized and perfect for sharing, it’s a sweet reminder of the joy a big slice of cake brings to life.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Welcome to summer, Hot Cakes style! ☀️✨ You may have noticed our seasonal cakes sticking around a bit longer lately—and this season, we’re leaning into it. For the first time, we are rolling out a seasonal molten cake and shake that will be taking center stage for the entirety of the summer months!

Chef Brittany and the team have woven in the very best in-season PNW ingredients to keep things bright and balanced. From fresh local berries to comforting, nostalgic bakes, this menu celebrates the long, sun-soaked days we've all been waiting for. Whether you are local, or visiting for the Fifa World Cup, taste what summer in the PNW is all about!

Our doors open at 4 PM. We can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on—stop by any of our shops, find your new favorite, and be sure to tag us on social to let us know what you think! 🌊🍑🍫
