Kakigori Dessert Cafe: Japanese Desserts With a Twist

If you're craving a refreshing dessert that’s more unique than your standard ice cream cone, check out Kakigori Dessert Cafe in Tukwila. Founded in 2020, it specializes in bingsu, a fluffy, milk-based shaved ice dessert, which you can get in a delightful array of flavors. The dessert cups (called “minis”) are colorful, artistically presented creations you’ll want to snap a photo of before devouring. Many also include creamy soft serve, along with fun toppings like cookies and fruit, creating a harmonious blend of textures and flavors.

Need to Know

Huge Variety of Flavors: Some popular “minis” (dessert cups) include the mango and sticky rice soft serve, red bean and mochi soft service, and watermelon bingsu.

Fresh Mochi Toppings: Adding a traditional touch, the fresh mochi served on the side of the desserts are a hit with customers and give the dishes more texture.

Specialty Toasts & Waffles: In addition to the cold desserts, you can order a “lava toast” (a stack of toasted sliced bread with bits of bread in the interior) covered in all kinds of different toppings, including salted egg and thai tea. The “croffles” are essentially waffles covered in toppings such as strawberry, black sesame, brown sugar boba, and other flavors.

The Vibe:

Kakigori Dessert Cafe has an attractive, plant-filled interior, simple, chic decor, and a small indoor seating area. The minimalist, plant-filled decor makes for a calming atmosphere, ideal for enjoying a quiet dessert or capturing picturesque moments.
