    Hokkaido soft serve
    Sarah C.

    Pickup window only with some outdoor seating. My friends and I both thought the Hokkaido milk flavor wasnt as strong as we had in Japan but definitely still really good. Yum!

    I'm not an ice cream fanatic. It's usually not my go to dessert. But since I heard this is made with Hokkaido milk, I wanted to try. It is amazing! Idk if it's placebo effect or really good. But I love it and would eat again if ever in the area. I tried the swirl and usually I'm not even a big matcha fan but this was very good! It was strong matcha taste but smooth and not super grassy or gritty. I added the MBR topping. The mochi was okay, a bit flavorless. But I loved the brown sugar syrup and roasted soy bean. We waited In line outside. It is serve through a pick up window. And then you can have a seat outside. If the line wasn't so long. I would get more lol. Next time get two!

    The menu

    Japanese (Hokkaido) inspired soft-serve ice cream - a limited menu, but delicious and interesting. Served from a window with 5 booths in the street, there is usually a line. It's a fun vibe, with everyone anticipating the treats to come. With a base flavor of Hokkaido milk, and a twist or separate flavor of the day (matcha our day), the soft-serve ice cream comes with a small variety of toppings available: strawberry or mitarashi dango, served either in a cup or a waffle cone. We'll be going back.

    Hokkaido milk soft serve crème brulee
    Aditi P.

    Line moved quick-ish. I got the crème brulee, it's good for the novelty of potato on ice cream but lowkey would not get again. I really liked the Hokkaido milk soft serve but having mashed room temp sweet potato on it was an interesting texture experience. It was good enough to try once where I don't regret getting it because I was curious but would probably get something else next time! It's a fun place to take your friends to since Hokkaido milk soft serve seems pretty rare!

    Sidewalk booth

    Indigo Cow is a small walk-up ice cream spot with a window for ordering and a few covered booths on the sidewalk where you can sit and enjoy your ice cream. The menu isn't huge--just a handful of flavors with some toppings you can add. Given all the hype around this place, I was expecting something really special. We tried a vanilla ice cream with chocolate fudge sauce and another with brown sugar and mochi. The texture was definitely thick and creamy, but the flavors themselves felt quite subtle, and I didn't find them particularly memorable. Overall, it was a decent ice cream experience, but I personally didn't understand the level of hype. Good texture, pleasant enough, just not the standout dessert I was expecting

    I tried matcha swirl. The body was smooth. The matcha flavor was not obvious, unlike those from Nana. The line was long, but it didn't take long to go through. There are some tables on the side of the street.

    Was fortunate our waitress helped my daughter get some before they closed up.

    Was able to grab some on 7/15/2026 after our dinner at Secret Fort, the "ice cream" was awesome, this place had a line going all night, so I guess we were fortunate to get something after dinner, and I can see why people line up for it, it's awesome!

    Small Hokkaido milk w MBR (+$2) topping
    Gina L.

    Wow yummy! Stopped by on a Thursday around 8:15pm; the line snaked around into the parking lot by Yoroshiku. We ordered by 8:45pm, so not too bad of a wait. The girl working was very friendly, big props to her for doing it all solo. Got the small in a cup w MBR (mochi, brown sugar syrup, and roasted soybean powder). Came with 4 mochi and an adequate amount of syrup and powder. I'd prob give this 4 stars. Even though a cone is $1.5, I do think there's a bit more ice cream. Friends got the yaki-imo brulee soft serve, which I tasted and thought was DELISH. The sweet potato topping was so tasty, and I felt like it cut through the flavor/texture fatigue of just hokkaido milk ice cream. 5 stars yum!!

    Crème brûlée
    ThuyVy N.

    Overall indigo cow was fun and it was good, not my favorite but it's a cute fun sweet treat. I tried their seasonal special for yam crème brûlée and wasn't my fav and wouldn't try it again but it's exactly what they say --- just not my taste.

    I love ice cream. I love soft serve. I love creamy & cold treats. And this place deserves all the hype it gets. The soft serve is so creamy & delicious. The waffles cones are always fresh & I love the slight hint of sweetness. Who knew that milk from Japanese cows would make all the difference?! Toppings are delicious! The roasted soybean powder is the perfect addition. The MBR is my fave! Service at the walk up window is easy.

    Even on a cold day there was a line, and rightfully so. Their Hokkaido milk based ice cream is light but creamy. It's almost a literal hole in the wall, it's a small booth within a restaurant, but you order at the outside window. There aren't many options so you don't have to be indecisive! Hokkaido soft serve topped with MBR (mochi, brown sugar, and roasted soybean powder) is the classic order 10/10, but you can be adventurous! The yaki imo brûlée is a seasonal one (not sure how long it'll be around for) but it's basically a sweet potato mash topped with sugar and torched, a balance of creamy and crunchy from the burnt sugar- I personally liked the OG better but this was a good twist I'd like to try the matcha next time I'm around !

    Hokkaido milk
    Danielle L.

    Best soft serve I've had!!! The milk flavor was very rich but not too overpowering. We went close to closing, so there weren't any toppings left. But the ice cream plain was still delicious. I need to go back and try the toppings!!

    Tried this place while a friend was in town. Pretty long line but it does move. Menu is limited and a bit pricey but the hokkaido soft serve is pretty tasty. They have some outdoor seating too which is a plus. ried both a soft serve (matcha hokkaido swirl/mix) with MBR (mochi, brown sugar syrup and roasted soy bean), a side of dango, as well the creme brulee soft serve which was really unique and tasty and in my opinion, worth the hype of coming here to try this place. The dango was OK but the soft serve and the MBR toppings were also tasty. Definitely a nice little treat! I know that there is a seasonal rotation, so may not be matcha if we were to come back.

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.

    Great place for ice cream!…read more It looks like they make their ice cream here because they have a little viewing window showing them dispensing something into a container (looks like a giant tub of soft serve). Lots of flavors to choose from, including season items that rotate. We all enjoyed the ice cream, especially the kids. It's worth a stop!
