    Matcha deluxe
    Kathryn O.

    for Japanese soft serve the deluxe sundae gives American sizing. Insane when they put out the largest cups of ice cream. Realistically the deluxe is for 2-3 ppl to share if you're not huge dessert person. The ice cream is creamy and just the right texture. The presentation is really a showstopper. Had a few people ask what it was and turned a few heads on the street. The meringue and logo flag was a cute decoration but thrown away immediately since it was kind of in the way. I always see a line when I pass by but service is fast and they hand your dessert to you directly after ordering. There's no awkward mix-ups or other people taking your dessert which I like. Will be back at some point to try out their other flavors and for a smaller portion!

    Deluxe black sesame sundae

    Yummy, quick service soft serve! We got the black sesame deluxe sundae, which was plenty to share for 2 people. I really liked the soft kinako mochi, but the meringue was too much and it overall felt VERY sweet by the time we finished the whole thing. Next time I might just go with the soft serve alone and ask if they can add the mochi a la carte.

    We came here mid-week after dinner for dessert. This is a small window with a few tables outside. They make amazing soft serve. They also have these adorable, beautiful fruit sandwiches on display. I also saw they have savoury bento items on the menu. We tried the hojicha soft serve ($6) and it was amazing. It's really just vanilla soft serve with a syrup of a flavor of your choosing - sesame, matcha, hojicha, etc. We were way too full to get the full sundae but we definitely want to get that next. You can have mochi topping too.

    Baiten offers creamy vanilla soft serve ice cream with your choice of syrup. The key word here is syrup, the ice cream itself is vanilla flavored, and the additional flavors come from the syrup options. They currently offer Matcha, Hoji-Tea, Kuro-Goma (black sesame), and Yuzu (Japanese citrus). The shop itself is very small since it's basically a window shop, either renting space from or connected to Tamari Bar. It's more like a little dessert stand located on the restaurant's patio area, with only a few outdoor tables available. The soft serve was okay, but not as creamy as I was hoping for, and it melted pretty quickly. If you decide to add a syrup flavor, I'd recommend asking for only a small amount. Mine came absolutely drowning in syrup, and honestly, the flavor tasted pretty artificial and overpowering.

    It's a cute asian dessert spot. I came here to try their pretty popular (or trending) fruit sandwiches. It was good but it was pretty much what it sounded like. I personally liked the matcha flavour one a lot. But having tried this - I think I can make this home pretty easily - in fact anyone can - just the concept is interesting.

    As a soft serve lover, Baiten is one of Seattle's summer soft serve staples! We tried the black sesame, strawberry matcha and whiskey caramel. The caramel was perfect for sweet lovers, the matcha strawberry was a good mix of sweet fruity and earthy and the black sesame was great for those who enjoy the sesame flavor like me! The location is also really nice to sit out at on a nice day. I just wish there was more syrup for the generous amount of soft serve!

    Matcha soft serve and Hoji-cha soft serve ice cream :)

    Soooo delicious! Our first visit was February 13th around 7-8pm. We kept walking by so lost at first and so confused knowing it was supposed to be next to the Tamari Bar but after walking past like 4 times we notice an employee open up shop. It's like a to go window next to the Tamari Bar and maybe they were closed unofficially for a few minutes? Once we spotted Baiten we ordered the matcha soft serve and Hoji-cha soft serve. Sooooo delicious and big portion. We were very pleased. Staff were quiet but friendly. I was super happy with my matcha soft serve and tbh it was some of the best soft serve I've had, it was so creamy, so sweet, and perfectly balanced with the matcha! I would totally come back and recommend :)

    Kurogoma and Kinako Deluxe Sundae
    Avery C.

    Baiten was amazing! We ordered the Kurogoma and Kinako Deluxe Sundae, which was the perfect afternoon treat for a warm day. It came loaded with various delicious treats from silky pudding to crispy bites of Rusk (a sweet, crunchy Japanese bread snack). The employees were very nice and greeted us with a smile. I will definitely come back!

    I've had their soft serve here back in 2022, and I came back on a Thursday night just to have it again! This place looks more like a popup but is essentially right next to Tamari Bar with its own seating over to the right-hand side. The front is just the counter with displays of their fruit sandwiches and the bases of their baiten sundaes, which are essentially parfaits. I got their matcha deluxe sundae, which has a lot: red bean paste, matcha jelly, pocky sticks, mochi, corn flakes, vanilla soft serve, a matcha drizzle and small cracker on top. The whole thing looked like it was gonna topple over when I got it but thankfully it never did even as I took videos of the parfait and even ate it all the way. Soft serve has a smooth consistency and the matcha drizzle never took over the taste of the vanilla, while the whole parfait still contained everything matcha-based. Pretty much everything fit in very well, and I found myself eating this much faster than I thought. This is a place I'd bring friends and family to, they have tons of great stuff for your sweet tooth! This is in Cap Hill though, so just be wary of parking.

    Came here to get a quick bite with some friends. Got the curry and hayashi rice. Pretty good and decent value. You can order food and then sit and eat at the patio.

    Really amazing ice cream here, the texture and creamy taste are soooooo good. The matcha flavor also wasn't overpowering and went really well with vanilla ice cream. Nice lady working there too! The sandwich was fun to try, fresh fruit. Cute little hole in the wall spot.

    Kinga B.

    Excellent service. Super nice lady helped us. We ordered yuzu soft service and Macha one. Both delicious. The custard is really good. We also got mixed fruit sandwich. It was fresh and tasty. Casual place. Would absolutely return.

    Small area outside but there are a few tables. Dessert was really good. I got the special and everything about it was good. They made the dessert within 5 mins as well! Would come back!

It's basically cultured gelato so it's perfect for people who like the texture of gelato and the creaminess of yogurt. I'm a big fan of Ellenos yogurt and wanted to check out this place as well. I went on a summer afternoon so the line was pretty long, but moved quickly so I didn't stand in line for longer than 15 minutes. There were so many interesting flavors and the staff working there said I could sample as many as I wanted before deciding. I really appreciated that as they're pretty busy but still gave me a chance to try some before choosing one I liked. I ended up selecting the Lemon Curd as it was so tart and creamy and the yogurt paired with the lemon made it taste like the yoplait key lime pie yogurt I loved as a kid. I also really liked the Mango, Marionberry, and Seattle Fog so I'll come back for those next time. Ube was highly recommended to me as well but the coconut flavor felt overpowering to me. Regular sized single scoop is called a "walk around the park". If you want two flavors, you have to pay an additional amount for a split scoop. Really enjoyed the gelato and it was the perfect summer afternoon treat!

About a minute after getting my drink, I took a sip and was surprised that it was cold--not even lukewarm, but actually cold. I didn't go back to ask for a remake because there were several people in line behind me and I didn't want to wait. Instead, I ended up microwaving it when I got back to my Airbnb. The latte itself was decent and had a strong espresso flavor, but the mocha syrup was way too sweet for my taste. I think it would have been much better if it had been about half as sweet. The price was also pretty high for a 12 oz latte. The customer service was disappointing. The young woman who helped me came across as rude and seemed like she didn't want to be there. That's especially unfortunate for a business located in the middle of a major tourist area. As for the drink, I'm not sure how a hot latte ends up being served cold, but it definitely shouldn't happen. I also sampled the tiramisu gelato, which was overly sweet and didn't taste very authentic. Overall, I regret spending the time, money, and calories here. There are too many great coffee shops in Seattle to settle for an experience like this.

So funny. The staff is kind and is more than happy to let you sample to your heart's desire. There is seating both inside and out. I am sure on summer evenings this place is insanely busy, but on a Monday at approximately 2PM, I didn't wait in a line at all. They had fun summer flavors such as apricot crisp, blueberry cheesecake, cherry chunk, and strawberry sorbet. I tried two different flavors, and both were delicious. Both flavors were extremely creamy, even the fruity flavored ones. I started with the strawberry sorbet. It was refreshing. The strawberry really shined through and was extremely fresh tasting. I feel like strawberry flavoring can sometimes come off as artificial, but I did not have that experience with this ice cream. The second flavor I sample, and my favorite one of the day was the honey lavender. It felt like you were walking through an organic lavender field. As always, cities have expensive ice cream, but I am just a girl, so I will get a sweet treat.
