    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!

    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!

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Made a quick stop here for a dessert from a meal! There wasn't any seatings, just a booth and some standing tables. Got the hojicha soft serve. It was super smooth and creamy and the hojicha syrup was super delicious! Would come back to try their fruit sandos!

    Very cool walk up desert spot. They really evolved over the years and have more offerings. I tried the yuzu soft serve which was a perfect after dinner treat. If I was grabbing food, I'd totally get their Area 206 curry. I love their curry! They're fast and there was no problem ordering. They have an outdoor area to sit but we just walked around Capitol Hill. I'm sure this spot is lively in the summer!

    One of the best Japanese soft serve in Seattle! Their vanilla base is simple, creamy and perfectly smooth and they drizzle the right amount of syrup on top. If you are deciding between flavors, you can order both in the same cup! I have had all of their flavors and I still can't pick a favorite. A must visit for a quick, satisfying dessert!

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.

My drink (red bean brown sugar latte) was obviously extremely sweet but it was pretty good with plenty of red bean. My one complaint is that they don't have boba straws, which is a bit baffling to me. Sure they don't technically sell boba but the red bean topping in my drink was constantly stuck in the straw because its so narrow! Seems like an odd oversight. I had to use a spoon to eat the red bean by itself at the end.

My…read morefriends and I were extremely exhausted after spending the evening watching the Savannah Bananas baseball game at the T-Mobile Stadium. We'd grabbed dinner in Capitol Hill, but wanted to find dessert to take back to the hotel room. Initially resigned to simply stopping in an AM/PM, I did a quick Yelp search and found this amazing place. Open late on the weekends, R&M Dessert Bar has an extensive list of really delicious desserts and pastries to choose from. My friends and I ordered a wide selection of desserts to take back to our room, and I didn't expect the classy presentation for a take out order. Each dessert was elegantly packaged in glossy boxes with gold thread, then placed into a sturdy gift bag with a handle. Love is in the details at this place, my friends. Even though it was quite late when we got around to enjoying our treats, everything tasted fresh and delicious. The flourless chocolate cake was one of the best I've ever had, and the lemon tart was very memorable as well. It was buttery, sweet, tart, and oh, so yummy. The dessert bar has a few tables in their brick and mortar location, but I get a sense most people order their desserts to go. There's very little parking nearby, but if you're a regular visitor to Seattle that's just par for the course.

The lemon tart is fine, nothing to write home about but at least made with good ingredients.

Not worth the hefty $9.5 price tag.
