Girlfriend wanted a sweet treat after dinner, so I had to search up desert place and landed here. I've always heard about their Japanese Hokkaido soft serve and I'm glad I made a stop because was delicious. The lie was super long but they took order and served people pretty fast so went by quick. They only have one flavor so wasn't a lot decision but we got the strawberry sauce and MBR, I liked the fruitiness strawberry add onto the ice cream and girlfriend liked the MBR. Would definitely recommend if you crave dessert and like things that's "not too sweet".

I first tried indigo cow when they just opened, and I remember my partner and I weren't impressed bc the soft serve was strangely icy. We figured it was maybe bc they just opened and said we'd come back to retry someday. We finally did this past weekend, and it was truly night and day. I think we may have just gotten a bad batch the first time or something. The soft serve this time was so good and creamy! I got the swirl with matcha, which I loved. You could actually taste the matcha, and it went so well with the creamy milk flavor. I also got the mochi but I didn't love it because I wanted the mochi to be chewier, so I probably wouldn't get that again. Def would come back again for the swirl and to try the chocolate drizzle!

I got the new Yaki Imo Creme Brulee seasonal soft serve and I think it's their best flavor yet! You can really taste the yam and the brulee was an amazing added crunchy texture to the creaminess of the yam and the lightness of the soft-serve. My friends and I were very lucky because we lined up late at night and we got the last few of these of the night. Indigo Cow is a cute little pass-through service so everything comes super fast. There's some cute outdoor seating too though with fairy lights, adding to the cozy outdoor vibe. While the wait is long sometimes, the workers get you ur ice cream quick! Indigo Cow is probably the best soft serve in Seattle if you are looking for something quick and delicious

Indigo Cow, known for its Hokkaido soft serve and mochi/brown sugar toppings, offers a new sweet potato brûlée soft serve. During my recent visit, I found the service to be efficient, although a line began forming around noon on a Sunday. The establishment lacks indoor seating but provides outdoor seating.The sweet potato brûlée soft serve struck a good balance between the sweetness of the sweet potato and the lighter flavor of the soft serve. If you've previously visited Indigo Cow, I recommend trying this flavor.

TL;DR - expensive, does not taste much like Hokkaido milk, watery soft serve, very disappointed. Food - $6 for Hokkaido milk and an extra $2 for the Dango. $9 for the yam creme brûlée with Hokkaido milk soft serve underneath. They burnt the top of the creme brûlée too much and the black part was very bitter. The soft serve is watery and doesn't really taste anything like Hokkaido milk (it's just a tiny bit milkier than normal soft service but it's hard to tell). It still tasted good, but nothing like it was advertised and was a subpar soft serve in general if you forget the Hokkaido milk part. Will not be back!Service - the lady was on her phone and didn't see me through the walk up window for a minute or two. Other than that it's standard service for a walk up window. Ambiance - nothing because there is no seating.

A cute little hole-in-the-wall spot in Wallingford serving up DELICIOUS Hokkaido milk ice cream -- it's a walk up window, and they have a super limited menu. The staff here is really nice and efficient, and we didn't have to wait too long in line. The ice cream is SO soft and creamy and I got the mochi and toasted sesame and would highly recommend -- the mochi were soft and chewy, and the nuttiness from the sesame was... chef's kiss. The subtle flavors go together so swell and it's not overwhelmingly sweet. I love and I'll definitely be back!

I had never had Hokkaido soft serve, but I'm glad I tried it! The soft serve is super milky and creamy, and not too sweet.I got a small Hokkaido milk swirl with Mitarashi Dango. The mochi had the perfect chewy texture, and the sauce had a slight savory flavor that went super well with the ice cream. This was a great combo! I felt like the price was a bit expensive for soft serve, and wished they had a seating area since it was just a walk up window. However, the soft serve and dango was delicious so I'll be back!

A pretty popular ice cream hole-in-the-wall (literally and figuratively) located in Seattle. Indigo Cow shares a space with the restaurant Secret Fort. Basically a tiny window that serves up soft serve with various toppings and ingredients. We stopped by after a sushi dinner and there was a relatively short line. They only offered Hokkaido milk as a soft serve flavor for that day; unfortunately the swirl (extra $0.50 cents more) was crossed out. There's also a limited number of toppings - MBR, dark chocolate wall, strawberry sauce, sweet potato, mitarashi-dango. We ordered the regular in a waffle cone with sweet potato ($6 + $1.50 + $2.50), making it a pretty expensive dessert if you add everything up. I will say that the Hokkaido milk is very good - super creamy and flavorful, but not too sweet. Texture is similar to Frostbite's custard. I was a little iffy about the baked potato, but it was pretty tasty. Definitely made the ice cream taste healthier. I don't know if I'd try the sweet potato again, but it was an interesting experience, especially with the heat vs cold aspect. I liked the charcoal waffle cone! Not too sweet, gave the ice cream a nice crispness. We also got a small Hokkaido milk and added organic strawberry sauce ($4 + $1). The sauce was really really good - light, tangy, tart, sweet. Helped give an extra oomph to the soft serve. Didn't realize there was a Theo dark chocolate wall - probably would have opted for that since I love chocolate shelled ice cream! They accept card only here. You can request for a large as well, where they'll give you more than a regular size and charge you an extra $2 I believe. There are some seats outside in shaded benches where you can take your desserts to enjoy. tl;dr - Solid soft serve place in Seattle. I enjoyed it, especially the Hokkaido with the strawberry sauce.

As someone who doesn't like sweets, the Hokkaido milk soft serve is just perfect. I'm sure that the other flavors they offer here are just as delicious, but in my opinion, there's nothing that beats the Hokkaido milk flavor with their signature Shiratama Kuromitsu Kinako topping. They keep their menu small because honestly why would they need to add anything else when the Hokkaido milk is already so amazing? Not really any place to sit down because this spot is just a window that you walk up to, but that's okay because my soft serve will not last long anyway. I definitely make sure to stop by any time I'm in the area. The service is generally pretty quick and friendly.

Indigo Cow has always been on my list to try as I wanted to see what Hokkaido soft serve was all about. The soft serve was very creamy and milky! There were some bits I felt where it was a bit more icier than others but could be easily overlooked. It is also not too sweet at all (which is a HUGE compliment for desserts in Asian terms), which means that everyone would be able to enjoy. I got the MBR which is mochi, brown sugar syrup, and soybean powder. They had ran out of mochi before I ordered which was sad, but offered to give me dango as a substitute. I had never had dango before but the chewiness definitely added a nice texture to the soft serve. The brown sugar syrup and soybean powder added a sweetness and more flavor to the Hokkaido milk. Overall was a very pleasant dessert.Don't come too late in the night like I did if you want to try other things on the menu. I think those tend to sell out earlier in the day so recommend you come then! I would really like to try the sweet potato brulee soft serve they have been advertising. But it should be noted that it might be difficult to find parking depending on when you come.
