Been here a couple of times. But for this specific visit alone, my rating ain't perfect. I feel like they're understaffed or it was just a busy weekday night they didn't see coming, although this was the 2nd time it felt such. Therefore, the staff can't give 100% customer service, she looked tired and grumpy but trying to hold it. Also, they had a promo card and she didn't give them until I asked. They were running 2 promos and they ran out of the card for the other! read more

Kyoto Matcha - Desserts Near Me - Towson, Maryland

I've been to this place before but a different location. Typically I'll get their matcha swirl ice cream in a cone but this time, I decided to try one of their cakes. Overall, I am a huge fan of crepe cakes. But the FLAVOR of this tiramisu crepe cake was AMAAAZING. Not too sweet but this would pair well with a hot tea for sure!! Service was fast and the workers do their best to call out your number to get your order. They also have the big screen to order and pay if you don't feel social that day! The vibes were calm. Definitely a place that isn't too noisy. The only reason I'm knocking off a star is because I found the menu to be extremely expensive. It was $10 for a slice of the cake. Would I buy it again? Maybe if I was craving it. read more

A cozy and modern spot for high quality desserts! The interiors are very clean, and there is a communal box of games. Almost everything on the menu is matcha flavored but very customizable. We got a parfait with the mixed swirl ice cream, which was very tasty. Almost too much going on with ice cream, cake, red bean, cereal flakes, mochi--in the future, will probably just get the ice cream with mochi topping. Efficient service, lots of indoor seating, connected to Akira ramen. read more

We finally got to come here while we were waiting for our pup to get looked over at the vet. We were lucky to get a parking spot right by the front of the restaurant, but there is also a parking garage across the street. It was pretty empty on a Saturday afternoon at 2 pm. We ordered at the kiosk at the front as there really wasn't anyone at the register. We decided to get the matcha tiramisu, the soft serve swirl in a cup, and the peach oolong crepe cake. Everything came out relatively fast, about 5 minutes. The soft serve was our favorite. Just really good flavor and good texture. A perfect soft serve. The peach oolong cake was very very good. It had a subtle hint of oolong but the peach flavor was delicious. It wasn't quite as delicate at the crepe cake from Lady M, but I think the flavor was a little better here. The matcha tiramisu was fine. We didn't love it. It came with a small cup of matcha. I'm not sure if we were suppose to pour it in there? Or just sip it while eating the tiramisu, we did both. But it really didn't add anything. I wouldn't get that again. They do have free wifi and water you can go and fill up a cup yourself. Parking might be a little annoying since you have to park across the street if you don't manage to snag one of the 7 or so spots close by. read more

I was in Towson for only four days, and somehow I found myself coming to Kyoto Matcha every single day. That says a lot about how quickly I fell in love with this place. This was hands down one of the most memorable dessert spots I've ever been to. The presentation is gorgeous, but more importantly--the taste is thoughtfully balanced, never too sweet, and full of traditional Japanese flavor. The Ube Mille Crepe Cake was light, creamy, and beautifully layered. It came with a piece of soft matcha sponge cake and a scoop of anko (sweet red bean paste)--everything on the plate just worked together. Subtle, elegant, and satisfying. I also tried the Matcha Parfait, layered with matcha + vanilla soft serve, mochi, anko, sponge cake, crispy cornflakes, and custard. So many textures in one dessert, and each spoonful was its own little surprise. Everything felt freshly made. The shop itself has a cozy, modern Japanese vibe. Super clean and aesthetically pleasing--definitely Instagram-worthy, but also genuinely delicious. I loved it so much I even started seriously considering franchising it myself. That's how good it is. If you're in Towson and even remotely curious about matcha or Japanese-style desserts, this is a must-visit. I'll be dreaming about this place long after I've left. read more

Kyoto Matcha - Matcha Crepe Layer Cake（抹茶千层） - Desserts Near Me - Towson, Maryland

I have somewhat of an obsession with green tea ice cream. Haagen dazs has perfected this flavor so I often relegated myself to getting a pint from the local grocery store. NO LONGER. Kyoto matcha makes the tastiest matcha soft serve, made all the more delicious by fun add-ins like boba pears, red bean, mochi, or Oreo crumbles. Kyoto matcha has become my favorite after dinner dessert spot. The ice cream is not too sweet but not bland at all. It's creamy and fulfilling. Parking is a little tight in front of the shop but there is street parking available. Pro tip- if you plan to return sign up for the rewards program. Points add up quickly and I recently had my ice cream discounted by 50%. read more

I didn't know there was a Kyoto Matcha in Towson! There's been a lot of changes in the downtown circle area and glad to see more Asian options. Kyoto is chain and it's my first time trying it. I loved the soft serve the mix of milk and matcha was delightful. The toppings I could do without. I was really excited about the red bean but it was lackluster in flavor and the mochi was too wet. The soft serve is definitely the hero here. The interior was designed really cute with Pokémon murals. The staff was so patient. We walked in and it took us a while to order. The towel cake was more for novelty - it was like the Netflix show: is it cake. I thought there would be more to the cake but for me it was too creamy and the crepe layer was flavorless. Come for the soft serve, it's epic. read more

Came here for a quick and cool drink before a movie. Ordered the matcha latte, which was super good. The restaurant is also super nice- lots of seating and beautiful art. Reason why I'm giving 2 stars is for service. This wasn't for me, but another customer did not receive the right drink they ordered. Instead of making a new one and rectifying the mistake, they made the customer order a whole new drink and pay again. And the employee did not handle themselves as I would hope. 2 stars for the drink and place itself but must mark down for the service I saw. read more

I highly recommend stopping by this place for the macha soft serve ice cream. It is much creamier and thicker than the usual soft serve ice cream. It is more similar to gelato than ice cream. Very nice macha tea flavor. read more

If you're a lover of matcha or new to the taste, then Kyoto Matcha has you covered for a quick matcha fix. Kyoto Matcha offers a variety of matcha items on their menu from soft-serve, matcha lattes, and lemonades to matcha crepe layer cakes and cheesecake. Located in Towson's center circle, Kyoto Matcha has a cute little vibe inside, or there is outside seating to enjoy the summer sun. They also make it pretty easy to order your treats by using their kiosk. My only issue is that it seems you aren't allowed to add toppings to your soft-serve ice cream in a cone versus in a cup. Which we kinda didn't understand since adding sprinkles to an ice cream cone is normal, but all in all, it was a tasty little treat. read more

Like so many others have already voiced, the soft serve matcha is top tier. I also really like the matcha lattes too. The cheesecake mousse and tiramisu were good but not worth the price. read more

Kyoto Matcha has some remarkable features that I have identified below: Vibes: The shop itself is cute and spacious. They are well organized and clean. It allows for a fun yet studious space. There are outlets throughout and they also have board games to play. The workers are always friendly and quick. Selection: Since it is a matcha place it encompasses mostly matcha dessert, however there are a few different options in terms of cakes and drinks to choose from. How the food is presented never disappoints. Taste: The boba cake on the left was really moist and didn't taste much like boba besides having the boba there. The Frappuccino is sweet yet also maintains the matcha flavor and I find that hard to do with desserts that are around matcha. Their servings are also fair for their prices. Some things I would like to note: - they only have street parking - if you enjoy rnb, their selection of music is beautiful read more

This was my first time here. I recently had a matcha soft serve on a food truck that does not have a physical location, so I found this shop that features all things matcha. The ambiance of this location was nice. I liked the efficiency of the ordering process, which was conducted via kiosk. I actually love this new kiosk ordering idea. Not only does it give you time to think about what you want to order, but also diminishes the feeling of being rushed. The steps from ordering to pickup were efficient. The matcha swirl was delicious and creamy. It was good enough that I will try it again at the location closer to me. read more

Kyoto Matcha - Matcha Frozen Soft Serve - Desserts Near Me - Towson, Maryland

Another great dessert place! Throw a rock in the Towson circle and you'll hit something delicious! Or you'll hit a car... don't really do that... But, it is really good and a bit different, stop in with some friends so that you can try several desserts at once! We ran the matcha gamut this visit; the ice cream, the cake, the cheesecake, and enjoyed it all. There are several other flavor profiles, so if matcha isn't your thing, there's still plenty to try. (Sorry for your luck if you don't love matcha though.) Ordering was quick and easy, use a kiosk, or the staff is just as quick and helpful. Two thumbs up from us! read more

Would give this place 6/5 stars if I could! I tried the Mochi soy latte and it had such a perfectly balanced nutty and sweet flavor; on top of that, the mochis were 10/10 texture and flavor (pillowy soft and chewy)~ I'm definitely coming back to try everything else because this place is top quality. They have a seating area with outlets, are open late until 11pm, offer bomb drinks and a variety of unique desserts--everything I look for in a place to settle in and study for a while. Highly recommend!! read more

I love this place! Their menu is addictive and they have so many choices. You order on one of the two screens at the entrance of the store, or at the counter. There is seating inside and your order will be served in no time. I truly enjoyed all the items I did try, especially the mochi. The blanket cake or cheese cake are also good. Wish to see a Kyoto Macha in the North East soon! read more

I used to like this place a lot but they keep putting random stuff in their food.

Like other Kyoto matcha locations (Rockville, Ellicott City, etc) the Towson location also sells the same desserts and drinks. Is conveniently located in the heart of Towson next to the Akira ramen. My go to is definitely the mixed soft serve but they also had a good selection of cakes to try too! Service is quick and the location has a really nice mural at the back of the cafe read more

Stopped by this cute shop for a post-dinner dessert and tried their mochi milk cap cake. It was not bad, but I recommend ordering another option since the desserts I've tried before were better (especially the mousse cakes or layer cakes). The server was quite nice, and the atmosphere/interior was lovely. I may come back to try some other desserts, but it's a bummer that I did not like my cake. read more

I never knew how much I needed Matcha soft serve ice cream ! I got the matcha cup with boba at the bottom and Oreo crumbs on top, it was a really good serving size. A little on the pricey side, but worth it as a treat here and there. I'd love to see if they expand the menu and add more ice cream flavors (crossing my fingers for Taro next). The milk soft serve flavor is basically vanilla so keep that in mind. Overall a very cute shop with original dessert offerings in the boba sea that is Towson, can't wait to visit in the summer. read more

Wow!!! I've never been to any store that is so cheap with the milk cap. I ordered a bubble milk cap cake and usually they pour a lot of milk cap to cover the cake but the one in Towson i can still see my cake so what am I eating? And I asked for more milk cap too... Unbelievable... Never returning to this store and I spend a lot of money in this store but never again I guess I just have to travel a little bit further. read more
