    Reverse Siberian tiger
    Liz C.

    There is just something so cute about five chocolate strawberries in a column on a stick! Shishkaberry came to the University District street fair this year. There were two stands so people didn't have to hunt down the one stand and wait in line. The display of their "fake" chocolate strawberries seems to draw people in. They have white, milk and dark chocolate, as well as toppings like chocolate drizzle, sprinkles, and nuts. They also have bananas and pineapples. The Siberian tiger consists of strawberries dipped in white chocolate and then drizzled with milk chocolate (like tiger stripes). I asked for a reverse Siberian tiger since I wanted it dipped in milk and drizzled with white. They were able to do my custom request and I was given my treat in no time. Some of the strawberries are huge and super plump! Most of mine were ripe and sweet, with maybe one being slightly sour. The chocolate helps bring in more sweetness though. Overall, it's your average chocolate covered strawberry. I don't think they use very high quality chocolate cause it wasn't like biting into an amazing bark of chocolate. I do like how they drizzled quite a bit of white chocolate on top though. Price wise, you can probably make your own chocolate covered strawberries for cheaper. I was just too eager to have some right then and there. It's about $6-7 per "kabob" depending on the toppings. Strawberries were good, chocolate could be better, so in all, just average.

    I have to admit: It took me a while to try their sweet sweet berries on a stick. Why? I've had chocolate-covered fruit that's been sitting around before and I thought that's what I would get here. I was VERY happy the day I learned that I wouldn't find any of that at the Shishkaberry booth! Or, well, at least not any of the ones I've been to so far (Folklife and on the UW campus during an event). Sure it's about $5 for a stick of chocolate-dipped berries (or fruit), but it's Oh So Good and I can't get enough. I usually try to stay away, but when I buy... I almost go back and get seconds. Keep on being delicious, my Shishkaberry friends!

    The best strawberry covered chocolates around, huge strawberries with the perfect chocolate that doesn't melt and is delicious in your mouth!

    This place is the bomb diggity! They personally give Edible Arrangement competition with dipped strawberries and banana's. The employee takes no more than 3 mins or less to prepare your dessert and she did it all with perkiness and a smile, which made our first experience pleasurable. Lines flows pretty quickly so don't get impatient, but wouldn't you be happy for the lines. It speaks volumes about the product and services. People don't constantly return if your services suck! FYI: location may slightly change by only a few feet, other than that, you are welcomed to enjoy 1-2 daily recommended fruit servings with a smile. Strawberries we're huge and delicious, great middle of the day, dessert.

    This place gets 4 stars for novelty, service, and the fact that you can't go wrong with strawberries, chocolate and whipped cream. However, as one Yelper mentioned in her review the chocolate is not very high quality. I ordered my Fairy Berry with dark chocolate and it seriously lacked that cocoa flavor. It was thickly coated (another sign of low quality) and hard to bite into. The strawberries weren't very sweet either, but were good. The girl at the stand we visited (Space Needle) was very friendly and sweet. Even though she had to listen to my boyfriend mouth off his dingleberry jokes and sarcastic commentary about the inappropriateness of the Shishkaberry terminology. This is a cute concept. I've bought a pound of strawberries for less than my Shishkaberry but it's worth a try at least once!

    Naked!  Yum.

    Located at the 4 Corners of Seattle Center, this little place is in a great spot to get foot traffic. And who doesn't love fruit on a stick? There are many options for selecting selection of toppings for your dipped strawberries or bananas. Even a selection titled 'DingleBerry (basic chocolate dipped strawberries). It's a super cute idea and the ladies are wonderfully friendly. Their chocolate is not dairy free, so it limits anyone with that sensitivity (my kiddo). But they do offer 'Naked' and the strawberries on our stick were ginormous and super sweet.

    Shishkaberry's truck was at the Kesley Creek farm fair today. Great fruit on a stick! Very delicious! My wife's favorite treat in the world.

    Very fast and fresh. Tried the one at Seattle center and got my fairy berry in about 2 minutes. Yummy!

    Love love love!! When we arrived 30 mins before closing and…read morethere's about 40-50 ppl here with a line out the door, you know it's going to be good!!! We got a matcha float with mochi and a hojicha float with mochi. We love the hojicha better. The matcha is prob one of the better I've tasted, but not often you can find hojicha ice cream and milk tea. It was creamy and mildly sweet. So good, refreshing and satisfying! The mochi were ok. It was very bland and not sweet at all. I do prefer my mochi to have a little sweetness to them, like a sweet bite. This was like chewing a bigger non sweet boba ball. So I'd pass on the mochi here and maybe do all ice cream. If ever we're in Seattle would visit again. Update: we came here a few yrs later. The drinks were still good as ever. My husband got a frappe and loved it. We had a salmon bowl which was decent. Not something I would order again here but we were so hungry from traveling and meeting friends, we needed some food. This time no line out the door. We got a seat inside. We came in June this yr, nice weather outside but inside was super hot as they did not run the AC. They had the windows/doors open but no breeze and mosquitos were inside attacking. I can't imagine a good breeze when the cafe is wedged btw two huge buildings. It made our visit this time very stifling.

This comes in a very large cup, with layers of matcha ice cream, cornflakes, vanilla whippedd cream, and mochi at the bottom. I'll be honest that the matcha ice cream wasn't my favorite. I'm not a huge fan of matcha in general, but I have had examples where the sweetness balances with the earthiness better - and this felt like it leaned too much into the earthiness side of it. It just tasted off when mixed with everything else. What was exceptional, though, was the second and third layers. Mixing the cornflakes with the vanilla whipped cream/yogurt layer was awesome. The crunchy texture provided with the creamy vanilla flavor really worked - and it felt like what the essence of a parfait is with the textural and flavor contrast. I think I would've liked this a lot more if the top had been vanilla ice cream instead - submitting a request to have that as an option on the menu. This was pretty expensive. It cost 14 dollars for a single parfait. That's just a crazy amount. I know it's pretty big, but it's simply overpriced. Overall, it's a decent but not very practical dessert. 5.5/10

We got two chicken sandwiches - original and southern bird (a bit spicy). Both delicious and generous servings, but also be warned they're messy to eat! They cut them in half for us so they were easy to share. Much appreciated. Also got strips (comes with curly fries and your choice of two sauces). And an extra order of curly fries that def wasn't necessary for our fam of 4 (2 adults, 4 yr old, and 2 yr old). I got a white peach sangria slushie, too. Not the biggest serving, but tasty! All that ran me just over $70 including tax and small tip as of July 2026. Not a bad deal, and we came home with leftovers!

It 100% lives up to the hype- amazing double fried chicken sandwiches and even more amazing ice cream! I love the different variations of chicken sandwiches they have. We tried the original which had their delicious herbaceous green sauce/aioli and the Homer which tasted so fresh with the veggies and whipped garlic sauce that accompany the fried chicken. The curly fries are a must if you're here & looking for a savory snack. The ice cream is a must, too! We particularly loved the seasonal miso caramel and wish it wasn't only seasonal. There was a line out the door when we went on a weeknight, so I imagine a line is to be expected when you come by, but it moves very quickly as you order at the counter. You'll wait for the ice cream at the counter but if dining in, they'll bring the food when it's ready. I personally didn't mind having dessert first! There's some indoor seating and some outdoor seating. Super casual vibes. Service is pretty quick overall. And we love the convenience that it's right by the light rail station.

    Indigo Cow is a soft serve shop that really surprised me in the best way. I'm usually a little…read moreskeptical of soft serve places since they often use nasty-looking mix, but I'd heard they use milk from Hokkaido, Japan, which is known for its dairy, so I came in expecting something rich -- and it absolutely delivered. They offer two flavors, Hokkaido Milk and Matcha, and I went with the swirl because I wanted the best of both worlds. I usually prefer my ice cream plain so I can focus on the flavor itself, but they do offer mochi and syrup toppings if you want to dress it up. I was actually a little surprised to see the strawberry syrup was sold out, which weirdly made me even more intrigued -- but in the end, I still stuck with the ice cream as is. The shop itself is a small pickup window attached to a larger Japanese restaurant, and it seems like a very cost-effective way to run the business. It also appeared to be operated by just two people, which made the whole operation even more impressive. When I went, there was a long line that stretched a good way down the street, but the wait moved quickly -- I spent about 15 minutes waiting to order and had my ice cream within minutes. The Hokkaido Milk was the standout for me: incredibly rich, creamy, and smooth. As someone who loves a good vanilla profile, I was very into it. The Matcha was also done really well, with just the right bitterness to balance the sweetness and complement the milk. I tried to isolate each flavor in every bite so I could appreciate them on their own, and I'm glad I did. By the time I finished, I was completely satisfied, but low-key wanted another round. I exercised great self-control though :D

I wasn't impressed by the portion size or how diluted the matcha tasted, but I still remembered enjoying the Hokkaido milk soft serve. REGULAR - 6.50 + Hokkaido Milk +2 for M.B.R (Mochi + Brown sugar syrup + Roasted soybean powder) The Hokkaido milk soft serve was smooth, creamy, and subtly milky without being overly sweet. The flavor itself is pretty mild, so I'd definitely recommend adding the M.B.R. The mochi was a bit stale, but the brown sugar syrup added a nice depth of sweetness, and the roasted soybean powder gave the soft serve a nutty, toasty flavor. These two toppings definitely elevated the soft serve for me. Overall, a quick and casual dessert spot in the area. We sat at one of the tables outside and enjoyed our soft serve.
