Baiten

Their ice cream is very sweet, smooth, and creamy. Mix very well to combine that rich matcha flavor with the sweetness of the ice cream. It's not overwhelming, just perfectly balanced. Definitely give it a try. Their cookie ice cream was good. It has red bean, so if you are not a fan of it, then get something else. They have a variety of options to choose from.

This review is on their softserve only and does not include sandwiches. So excited about trying their softserve and sundae, perhaps my expectation was a bit too high? We had dinner a block away and walked over for dessert. Who wouldn't want softserve on a hot day? We got a black sesame softserve and a sundae. The softserve itself was just ok. The black sesame syrup was a bit too sweet and you can't really taste anything else. The sundae has more components : mochi in green tea powder, red bean, pocky stick, cookie, and held up better. Overall as softserve goes, it's not as good as Indigo cow's Hokkaido milk softserve. I think with softserve, quality of milk really matters.

Literally the prettiest soft serve in Seattle. Matcha deluxe sundaes has matcha jelly, matcha custard, masta rusk, matcha sauce and a special matcha topping. MATCHA HEAVEN 😍 The Kurogoma & Kinako deluxe sundaes has black sesame pudding, black sesame custard, roasted soy bean rusk, black sesame syrup, a matcha cracker red beans AND roasted soy bean mochi 🥰 $11 each for a soft serve with all the toppings you could ever think of ❤️ it does melt realllly fast tho :/

The best soft serve ice cream I’ve ever had. I had the yuzu flavor and my friend got the kuro goma (black sesame). The base is the same for both—dense, creamy, and super satisfying. The difference comes from the syrup on top. The yuzu was really refreshing. The flavor was bright and citrusy without being too strong or too sweet. Just a really nice balance. The kuro goma was also great. They grind the sesame in-house, and you can really taste that deep, nutty flavor. It didn’t taste artificial at all—just rich and smooth. I also tried the 206 curry, which is their original Japanese-style curry rice. It had a good amount of spice, but for me it was a little too salty. Still, the flavor overall was solid. I’d definitely go back just for the soft serve. It really stood out (Hot take: liked it better than Indigo cow)

This is easily the best soft serve I've ever had. The kuro goma had such a deep, roasted, nutty aroma that paired perfectly with the light and creamy vanilla soft serve. The lady serving us was super polite and friendly, too. I cannot wait to treat myself here again.

Baiten in Seattle is a solid spot for Japanese-inspired desserts. The ice cream is creamy and flavorful—though in our opinion, it’s still a notch below Indigo Cow. The strawberry cream sandwich, however, is a standout—fresh, light, and super satisfying. Overall, definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and craving a sweet treat.

Place to try Japanese soft serve and desserts. We tried 3 flavors Matcha, Black sesame and Yuzu (Japanese citrus), and they were same base of vanilla ice cream with different syrups. Matcha flavor was light compared to other two but we liked all three. Would like to try again with topping options.

I’m a sucker for soft serve. This place does it right. I got their summer edition of mango syrup, and it was perfectly refreshing with the vanilla ice cream. Think of it like those orange cream bars, but a million times better. It’s a cute little shop with a pretty good menu selection. No indoor seating. Would highly recommend.
