Convenient grab and go stop for authentic matcha desserts. Had the soft serve and taste great. Fantastic treat for summer in Seattle!

Fast service, very efficient, very yummy. The space has a nice aesthetic and the ice cream is very photo worthy. There’s cool add ons and styles of ice cream to choose from. It’s all around really good.

Matcha is in the name so you know what to come here for. Everything is matcha and that's the specialty - it tastes more authentic than what you might expect from other places simply because they hold back on the sugar to let the matcha flavor shine. That could be a pro or con depending on your personal tastes, but I appreciate it.I wanted to try the gold leaf soft serve and it wasn't until after I paid that they told me they ran out of the edible gold. Instead, they offered to give me the Maiko Special and I guess that was the next best thing to try. Unfortunately the prices don't quite align so I lost a few cents. This encounter shows some irresponsibility to me in their service, as they don't really track inventory I guess?Focusing more on the Maiko Special parfait here. It's a challenge to mix everything together and blend the flavors which is unfortunate. The cup is a majority cornflakes for a nice crunch but this means it's much harder to mix unless you eat a good amount beforehand. Also, cornflakes are pretty cheap so the value feels really low. The Kokuto Jelly though, this stuff is amazing. Somewhat of a honey grass jelly that I expect but so delicate and refreshing. Easily the best part of the parfait but hidden at the bottom so once again, mixing is hard and digging is a pain before eating half of the parfait.The drinks are just okay. Wouldn't come here for them. Instead, opt for the soft serve. Main takeaways are that the prices are fairly high and sweetness is on the lower end. "Service" and value could be better.

The drink was ok, but I had a horrible experience here. Their cashier was very inexperienced and likely to be a high school student. She took my order, and then came back with something I did not order because they ran out of cups of that size and requested me to pay extra for it for a thing I did not ordered. I am very offended by this.In a situation like that, if you knew proper social etiquette, you are supposed to at least ask me and give me the option to get a larger size.1) Either I say: no thank you, I would like a refund.2) You offer me the upgrade at no extra cost, or pour the correct smaller amount into the larger cup.3) I say I want the drink and will pay for a size upgrade.You should NOT be upgrading me and then asking me to put my card in to pay extra because you were out of small size cups. It is ridiculously rude to put me in that spot. I doubt I would ever come back here.

The place looks super cute. If you’re a matcha fanatic, this is where you need to be. The ice cream was a big proportions. You can get mixed or just the matcha flavour. The staff was nice. 10/10 would go back for more

They were out of bubble waffles when I was there but still delicious! I got the lemon matcha float with vanilla ice cream, and it was definitely more sour than I expected, but delicious. The menu hadn’t been updated as of March 2022 so the items are a bit more expensive (a little less than a dollar) but still a pretty good price. I ended up paying $8 or so for mine, so definitely more of a treat than an everyday snack. Would recommend!

Delicious authentic matcha treats from Japan. Very rich in matcha flavor - more caffeinated than you think, so be aware if you are sensitive. I got the matcha latte float with a vanilla matcha swirl. Tasty!

Both the soft serve matcha icecream and latte float were absolutely delicious and great for the price.

Great experience! The staffs are very friendly and helpful! First time visiting and didn’t know what to do order so I asked them about the recommendations and they explained very well! I tried the Maiko Special and the portion was huge! Authentic matcha flavor, best one I have tried so far! Definitely coming back soon!

Took us a few elevator rides to find this place. The website says it located in the third floor by the mini rail, but it actually on the second floor in the food court. Was disappointed that they don't have the fish cone today, but the icecream taste great. Portion is too big for me we got two smalls for three people to share.
Yum yum! I'm generally not the biggest fan of these types of dessert stands, or dessert in general. But this was a great treat on a hot day! I thought that the soft serve was not too sweet, so it's perfect if you're on a diet!...Not really, but it feels perfect if you're on a diet. My only complaint is that music at the stand was a bit too loud and the song was a bit too repetitive, to the point of being slightly annoying. But it's such a small gripe that it's definitely not worth taking away any stars.

I have tried bubble waffles at happy lemon, moo bar and at matcha cafe maiko, there’s no question they are the best!Happy lemon was hard and cookie like, moo bar was better but man, the bubble waffle here was smooth and melt in mouth. Super soft inside with the purple filling. The matcha and ube icecream was a heavenly combination.I would definitely come back and eat this every time we are in seattle. Please give them a try. I added a picture of halfway through it.

The most authentic matcha I've ever had.

Henry was an excellent server and provided great service. He informed us that this location uses organic Ube for their soft serve . Loved how prominent the Ube and matcha were in the soft serve. Thank you for the experience!

Phenomenal tasting matcha, best I've ever had, extremely creamy, rich flavor with a nice texture. Will definitely be coming back.
