    Matcha soft serve swirled with ube
    Huma H.

    The most delicious matcha soft serve I've ever had. It's creamy, still tastes of matcha, balanced with a touch of sweetness. If you're looking for authentic taste, this is for you! Their ube is also excellent - richly flavored, and again not too sweet. I highly recommend getting them swirled. Their drinks are also very good - we have had matcha, oolong, and others. The parking is a little tight right in front of the store - but there's a large lot right past it on Buford highway that has plenty of parking. The store inside is cozy with plenty seating and space. The staff are always friendly too. Whenever I need a lil pick me up, this place delivers

    First time eating at a matcha cafe in Atlanta and it wasn't bad. I mainly loved the aesthetic of the establishment and the ease of ordering. The ube/green tea cup we had wasn't anything too special but it still hit the spot. It definitely seemed like a chain which made sense. Not the best quality ingredients but overall pretty enjoyable.

    As a new Mom, it was very much needed that I get back into drinking matcha (IYKYK). I took a long break while I was pregnant and even before as I felt like it was almost too strong for me and made me a bit shaky and anxious. But my new postpartum body of mine is welcoming it with ease, and this matcha spot has been on my list for far too long! Another local spot that doesn't have the most inviting curb appeal, however, don't let that stop you! Parking is quite limited, so I can imagine this location can feel/get busy quickly. My bestie and I arrived at the perfect time in the early afternoon and before we knew it, there was a line all the way out the door as we were waiting for our orders. I truly came here for the matcha soft serve if I'm going to be completely honest, but then my friend pointed out their matcha tea floats and I was immediately sold! Unfortunately, the ube soft serve was not ready yet so we couldn't do the swirl, but I went with the strawberry matcha latte with almond milk and the matcha soft serve on top. Probably one the greatest treats I've had in a very long time!!! Will definitely make the trek out here again soon.

    Was visiting the area and friends and I saw this location and had to stop by. Such a great vibe for a small shop, which gives it more of that mom and pops vibe even though it's a franchise. The decor is great and looks well put together. There are seats to do work, meet with friends, etc. In terms of the drinks, the matcha was really good! I loved my black sesame matcha latte and the Ube matcha latte was good too! Definitely worth a visit! Also, although I didn't order it, I saw someone order one of their ice cream type of items and it was massive and looked super delectable. It's $10 for one but it huge totally seemed worth it!

    Matcha Ice Cream, Vanilla Ice Cream, Edible Gold

    I heard of the cafe because of the aesthetic inside and ice cream looked yummy! I am actually not the biggest fan of matcha ice cream, but I did a half and half with vanilla. Was not bad and the gold while looks cool, just looks good for pics! It did not taste like anything. Quick service and cute ambiance. Seating was plenty! Good amount of parking in the lot outside.

    Seasonal swirl- Ube and Matcha  Drink
    Anna B.

    I absolutely loved this ice cream! One of my top ice cream spots now! Service was quick and nice! The only thing I may not like so much is the location is a bit weird with the parking; and the inside of the cafe is a bit crowded but they do have plenty of seats to enjoy your matcha.

    Matcha and Ube (seasonal) float

    I've been to Matcha Cafe Maiko more than five times, and when it first opened, it was one of my favorite spots to grab a refreshing treat. Lately, though, the experience hasn't been quite the same. On my most recent visit, they were out of vanilla soft serve, which was disappointing. The space itself feels dated now -- mismatched furniture and not enough seating, especially if you come with a group. My friend and I sat at a table, only to have a group of six pull up extra chairs right next to us minutes later, which killed the relaxing vibe. That said, the treats are still delicious -- the matcha flavors are rich, creamy, and satisfying, and the service is consistently good. Bottom line: If you're just craving a matcha fix, you'll still leave happy. But if you're looking for a cozy, comfortable spot to hang out, the cafe could use some updates to bring back the charm it once had.

    We tried the matcha mango sticky rice! Highly recommend it with matcha ice cream and asking for extra coconut rice. Dessert was a 10/10! There is limited parking in front of the store. I would recommend parking in the plaza behind the store.

    This little place was too cute! The parking is only couple spots in front of the building but it is very cozy when you walk in! The staff was very nice and helpful! This was my first time having matcha ice cream and I was so happy! Just blown away! Check them out because they won't disappoint!

    Second time back yummy service great vibe cool It's gets crowded fast I'll be back many more Times

    Mango sticky rice Sundae (with mango ice cream)
    Mariana C.

    I've visited this location a couple of times in the past, when they have their Black Sesame flavors on the menu (highly recommended). Today I came for the seasonal Mango Sticky Rice Sundae... it's soooooo good! It was quite busy but the service is always fast, efficient and friendly. I really like the minimalistic vibe and comfort. The is is one of the Buford Hwy places that I always keep coming back to.

    Banana Pudding Matcha Latte
    Jina P.

    All the hype about the banana pudding matcha latte just for it to be so underwhelming. Raise your hand for everytime you see people hyping something up just to be disappointed! The idea was great but the execution could have been better. It had so much potential but I didn't like the taste. It was not enjoyable and it was an expensive drink which is understandable.

    Most people know of this spot from social media advertising their popular matcha ice cream. To date, the most talked about item on their menu is the banana pudding matcha drink. Im not the biggest banana girlie so I opted not to try that drink. This place is planted right in the center of the Buford Highway street that extends for miles. This location does have a small limited parking lot. So be mindful when you're coming here during peak hours. The place isn't big either and during the weekends it can be pretty packed. The barista and cashier were super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. They have matcha ice cream pints in their freezer for purchase as well. I tried their strawberry iced matcha & let me know tell you! It did not disappoint at all! I 100 percent savored every sip of the matcha drink. Since this place has become extremely popular the prices are higher than a typical Dunkin coffee shop. I will say the price is worth it for the great experience.

The place is not large however, the cases are definitely filled with a lot of goodies. On this particular day, it did take us a little while to make a decision as there are quite a few choices.
