Delivering Ice Cream Dreams with a Taiyaki Twist
We’re Oneko Taiyaki & SoftServe— a family-owned dessert shop dishing out smiles (and soft serve) since September 2020!
Oneko (tomcat in Japanese) offers something for everyone, including lactose-free and dairy-free options, broadening our customer base and increasing loyalty.
Our specialty? A magical mashup of crunchy-chewy mochi waffle cones shaped like fish (that’s taiyaki!) filled to the brim with delicious soft serve and wild, wonderful toppings. Traditionally savory or sweet, filled with custard or red bean, we’ve given taiyaki a tasty twist — from Asian-inspired flavors like matcha and ube to traditional favorites like mango, chocolate, vanilla, and more!
Cute enough to go viral. Smart enough to scale.
At Oneko, the creativity never stops. If it’s sweet, swirly, and a little unexpected, you’ll probably find it in one of our cones – and shared across social media.
For franchisees, we pair this unbeatable menu and viral-ready branding with seamless systems and hands-on support. Bring fun and flavor to your neighborhood with a Oneko franchise!
Build Your Franchise Future with the Purr-fect Ice Cream Brand
Artisanal ice cream is the fastest-growing segment of the surging ice cream store market, which reached $7.4 billion in 2025. In a crowded space, basic scoop shops are no longer enough to drive customer acquisition.
Featuring a fun twist on the traditional and memorable branding that boosts visibility, a Oneko franchise offers an unrivaled opportunity to ride the wave of this recession-resilient trend:
East Meets Sweet
East-Asian culinary mastery meets modern American cash flow with Oneko’s trend-forward menu, blending the soaring popularity of Asian-inspired foods with a classic American ice cream shop.
Playful Branding, Serious Returns
Stand apart from competitors with fun & imaginative branding and signature fish-shaped cones, delivering social media shares, brand hype, and organic marketing gold.
Low Barrier, High Margins
Competitive upfront costs, lower overhead, seamless systems, a standout concept, and hands-on management support empower even first-time franchisees to launch strong and thrive.
Superior Product, Superior Experience
More than just a cute differentiator, our taiyaki fish-shaped cones (made with Mochi) are specially crafted to stay crisp, chewy, delicious, and not soggy—even after sitting in ice cream for a while.
Multi-Location Meow-mentum
Gain instant credibility and easier customer acquisition by aligning with a brand that’s trusted by the community, reflected in our proven growth and hundreds of 5-star Google reviews.
HEAR FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
I ordered the Ube-Bee soft serve and it was hands down THE BEST ICE CREAM I have ever eaten in New Mexico! Not only was the flavor delicious, but the purple made it fun. I will most definitely recommend everyone to come here! I want more just thinking about it!
This place was amazing!! Totally deserves 5 stars. So unique and delicious. There were only a few flavors of the ice cream but so many different combinations with the toppings and such. I got the ube ice cream, which was purple! And there are some neat toppings like macha powder and black sesame seeds. Great and unique place and definitely recommend it.
This place exceeded all my expectations! The ice cream itself was very creamy and delicious, and the little fishy cone topped it off perfectly. It had a crunchy texture on the outside, but on the inside, it was soft and spongy.
The customer service was really great, and I appreciated them not skimping out on the toppings.
If you're in Albuquerque, I definitely recommend visiting Neko Neko. You won't regret it!!
Such a fun atmosphere. All the employees were quick to make sure my ice cream dish was gluten free and they were way personable and fun. And the ice cream may be the best I’ve ever had in my entire life. The ube with condensed milk and La hung powder was amazing!!
