Tres Lecheria

A small, quaint space that's meant mostly for grab-n-go.

I opted for the Marionberry option as a dessert after dinner. Pricing wasn't horrible and it was very tasty!

We love trying new places once a week, and this week, we decided to try Tres Lecheria to satisfy our sweet tooth.

These cakes are made ready to purchase, so we were able to walk up to the refrigerator case and pick out the flavors we wanted. We ended up spending $36 total for 4 flavors: Mexican mocha, pandan, matcha, and dulce de leche. Digging out spoons into our first bite, we immediately noticed how soft the cake was. There was a good amount of milk pooled at the bottom, so we knew it was going to be a good bite. We were pleasantly surprised by how accurate the flavor descriptions were of each tres leches. It was also great that they weren't overwhelming sweet either. I was skeptical how well they would pull off the pandan flavor, but I thought they nailed it! My favorite was the dulce de leche, and I would definitely recommend this shop to others!

Super cute spot that has amazing Tres Leches slices! Located in a small storefront near the University of Washington, this bakery is a gem! On a recent visit I was greeted warmly by the person at the counter. She entertained my endless questions about the beautiful artwork and the different flavors of cake. Tres Lecheria has definitely perfected an old favorite. Besides traditional tres leches slices, there are several different flavors to pick from. On this visit I decided to get Pistachio, Pumpkin Chai, Coconut, and Horchata. Another awesome thing that they offer is a punch card. If you get 8 slices, the 9th one is free. I didn't need another reason to come back for more, but the punch card is a sweet addition!
The Pumpkin Chai was amazing! I devoured it as soon as I got home and it was super delish. I have no doubt the other flavors will be just as good. I will definitely be returning.

Some places have a hella of a reputation for a darn good reason, and Tres Lecheria is squarely in this category. When you make one thing great, just keep making that one thing. Tres Lecheria, as the name implies, makes the famous tres leches - a sponge cake soaked in three kinds of milk: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and whole milk. This cake is popular throughout Latin America. I am in multiple foodie groups, and when it comes to tres leches cake, there is only one reply - Tres Lecheria.

They sell their milk-soaked cake slices precut and prepackaged in containers. Getting the traditional is a must. It is certainly not the only flavor. I eyed horchata, dulce de leche, sweet corn & honey, before I finally decided to go bonkers and got matcha. Honestly, traditional is the way to go. They also sell seasonal flavors. They are currently offering pumpkin chai and eggnog. Each of the small slices are $8. It is a weighty slice that takes two of us to finish. A whole cake is $35 for twelve slices. Need to pre-order online.

Service is as swift as you want, or without anyone behind us, we b.s. a bit with the lady.

The décor is cute with some tchotchkes for sale.

Highly recommend!

These people make the best tres leches cakes in Seattle!! They're so good at it, it's all they do. Freshly made and delicious !!

More like 4.5 stars!!!! These cakes are amazing!!!!!! We heard of this place before but didn't really motivated to try as I'm super picky with cakes but these are on a different level. I love how moist it is

We got 2 flavors:
Traditional and marionberry: they were both delicious and had good flavoring. I think I learn though that it's definitely better to freeze it and eat if after because the cake is more stabilized, otherwise, the cake do get a little mushy from all the milk. That's just personal preference though because my husband loved both of them equally lol

At ~$8 a piece I think it's a good price considering that it's a hefty cake.
It's not the prettiest cake but the flavor makes up for it :)

I would also give this place 4.5 stars, but would round up:) It's a cute little tres leches shop in Wallingford. There's no other place like it.

I was really craving a strawberry cake, and went here. The horchata and strawberry tres leches were very sweet--more than I'm used to, but I enjoyed it.

My friend and I went here for the 4/20 special - $4.20 per slice of cake and the portions are the large, regular-sized portions! Even at $8 per slice which is their original price, it is very well worth it. One slice of cake is like a container tub, enough for 2 people for dessert. We tried the original, dulce de leche, Mexican mocha, and matcha flavors as the promotion only allowed maximum 2 slices per customer, which is more than enough for a few days of sweets for us.

The original tres leches cake is spot on - very milky and decently sweet. The dulce de leche is fairly similar, with additional caramel flavor. I would opt for dulce de leche between the two, if you were to choose one, but both were excellent. The Mexican mocha tasted like chocolate as expected, and I am a fan of that. The matcha is okay - the consistency is still similar to regular tres leches cake but the flavor did not really pair that well.

This place is a grab and go type of place so keep that in mind when you make a purchase here. Fortunately, the containers are very durable and so you don't need to worry about the cake as you make a journey to wherever you decide to consume it - whether it be back home, or at a nearby park.

I just think it's really cool that this place exists. A bakery just for tres leches cakes? Pretty sweet. You can get them at a couple different locations in the city besides their actual store, but as far as I know, this is the go-to spot to get it as fresh as possible - they need time to soak in condensed milk, so you aren't exactly getting them right out of the oven, but yeah.

Every flavor I've tried so far has been pretty good - it's not exactly like what I've come to expect from tres leches cake, consistency or flavor-wise, but it's undeniably tres leches. I'm partial to their horchata flavor. May not be your favorite take, but this is definitely a dessert worth trying!

First off, I have been having a craving for tres leches cake and this totally satisfied my craving! I got the traditional flavor and it was perfect. I am looking forward to the next time I order from here because I am interested in trying from their range of flavors.
I ordered delivery from DoorDash so I never saw the interior, but they put a smiley face on my bag and I thought that was the most wholesome thing ever! Amazing customer service.
