For a matcha place, I expected the matcha latte to be better. It wasn’t mixed very well and I can taste the individual powder. The matcha didn’t taste as good either. I also tried their cheese stick mochi. It was interesting and not bad. It took a long time though. The place itself is great for studying with wifi. Next time I’ll try their soft serve since that is what they are known for and I’ll probably update my review if it is good.

Really cute cafe, seems like much hasn't changed since it was Matcha Cafe Maiko before, besides the menu. I was really hoping to get the Brown sugar hojicha I used to get from cafe Maiko, but didn't see it. Tried out the cheese foam matcha latte and it was really good. A lil too much ice but I still liked it.

Such good ice cream! And the little bear is to die for cute. But it was really cold inside. After sitting down for less than a minute, we decided to go sit outside instead.

I had been meaning to try matcha cafe maiko but they switched ownership (& menu?). My friends and I got:Saigon special ($7.75) - ice cream (matcha), cereal, some red bean, sponge cake, and jelly; I thought the proportions were off, I wish the ice cream was through out the whole cup but it's only at the top. Too much cereal (corn flakes) that really only contributed texture. Sponge cake had no flavor. Red bean was a really nice contrast but there wasn't enough. And jelly was ok. Overall, proportions were off, I wouldn't repurchase.Matcha ice cream soft serve ($5.25) - my friend really enjoyed it, pretty strong matcha flavor not as strong as the original matcha cafe maiko. Decent portion size too.Matcha mochi waffle ($4) - this was really tasty, definitely enjoyed how I could still taste the matcha. I also loved the texture - anything mochi is game for me. Definitely overpriced though.They didn't have any customers on Saturday night which is a shame. They have ample seating with board games (we played guess who) and I've heard a lot of people like to study there during the day too! The chairs aren't comfortable for long term sitting though.

This place is popular. I can see what. I love Matcha. This place has lots of matcha. Therefore I pretty much love this place. They have matcha ice cream, matcha frappes, matcha tea... It's so good. They also have the warm waffle snacks too. If you're like me, visit here for some matcha!

I love the matcha soft serve here. perfectly rich, with a great depth and balance of flavor, I think it’s perfectly sweet (not too sweet!). I like their drinks as well but the matcha soft serve is what you must come for. love their matcha float and hojicha/matcha drinks as well. best matcha soft serve in chinatown, definitely. customer service is kind and incredibly efficient. a shame this place isn’t more busy.
Good study spot with 2 more tables tucked in the back with lots of outlets! Drinks were also good. I liked the hojicha latte which had a warm toasty tea flavor. The matcha tea was also good! Parking can be hard to find during lunch/dinner hours though.

Matcha ice cream in a cone was so tasty. It is filled all the way in the cone. Best place ever am I right

They don't serve much of the soft serve, should be way more than what they give you considering how expensive it is, sometimes they forget the little jello teddy bear on the drinks when you pay for it and they say they added it but they didn't.

Decent coffee shop in the area. It looks small from the outside, but if you head towards the back of the cafe, there's two tables tucked there, which is quite cozy. They have cute decorations around the shop.Drinks are okay, and can't exactly compete against the boba all around Chinatown but they do have a stronger focus on matcha as well as desserts and ice cream if that's what you're looking for!Wifi is good, not particularly loud, and restrooms are pretty clean. Workers are very nice.
