Pegasus Coffee House and Seattle’s Hot Cakes Team Up to Offer One-Of-A-Kind Evening Experience On Bainbridge Island

Bainbridge Island, WA- The Original Pegasus Coffee House is thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with Hot Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakery, a beloved Seattle dessert institution. The collaboration expands the Coffee House’s dessert lineup, providing Bainbridge Island residents and visitors with a delectable new evening indulgence. Customers can now enjoy Hot Cakes’ renowned Dark Decadence and Vegan Gooey Brownie cakes at Pegasus Coffee House everyday after 3pm.

Hot Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakery is famous for its delicious assortment of organic, gluten-free and dairy-free desserts, especially its flagship molten chocolate cakes accompanied by locally produced Bluebird ice cream. By introducing Hot Cakes’ molten cakes to its menu, Pegasus Coffee House is expanding beyond its traditional morning pastry and brunch fare, embracing dessert options that are ideal for an after-dinner treat and that pair perfectly with Pegasus’ artisan coffees.

“We believe the original Pegasus Coffee House on Bainbridge Island is an ideal setting for our customers to experience the magic of Hot Cakes,” said Pegasus Coffee president, Matt Grady. “There’s something wonderfully nostalgic and comforting about their desserts that helps magnify the historic and welcoming vibe of the Coffee House. Plus, our coffee and Hot Cakes go really well together!”

Continuing to revive its historical roots, the 43-year-old Pegasus Coffee House is also extending its operating hours on Friday and Saturday evenings, reestablishing a decades-long, pre-COVID tradition. In addition to Hot Cakes, customers will also be able to enjoy Affogatos (espresso &  ice cream), Cold Brew Floats, locally produced beer and wine, and a variety of artistic exhibits and performances (including live music) during its extended weekend hours. 

“We believe Bainbridge deserves another evening option, something fun to do after dinner for people of all ages,” said Grady. “We are excited to fill this void by once-again offering Island residents and visitors a cozy, elevated experience including one-of-a-kind desserts, outstanding coffee, art, community, and culture.”

“Customers visit our shops to celebrate with us from something as small as a get together with friends, to bigger life events like an anniversary,” said Hot Cakes owners CaraMia and Kevin Murry. “Linking that to the cozy environment of the original Pegasus Coffee House, we think that the live music and artist exhibits will help foster another gathering place for our desserts to spread joy on Bainbridge Island.”

Updated operating hours for the Coffee House are Monday-Wednesday: 7am-4pm, Thursday: 7am-5pm, Friday-Saturday: 7am-9pm, Sunday: 7am-5pm, with exceptions being made for late-night events. Hot Cakes are available now from 3pm to closing time, seven days per week. Alcoholic beverages will be available starting on June 2nd, along with live music from 7-9pm. Decaffeinated coffee and espresso options are always available.
