    Black Sesame Latte Float
    Kelly N.

    I've been to the Duluth location but not this one, which is weird because this place is closer to me. I guess I must've written it off due to the parking situation, and I honestly would've never visited, but a friend suggested coming here, so here I am. It's very, very limited parking. I'm not sure if we're *allowed* to park in the nearby parking lots, and I didn't have to, but if there's only like 6 spaces with barely enough space for cars to pass through entering and exiting... idk, it's not for me, esp when Doraville can get v traffick-y and the turn lanes are just waiting. Interior wise, it's cute. It tries to invoke a sense of Japanese aesthetic with the shoji panels, all the wood and light, the fake flowers, and I don't hate it. It's a fine place to sit and chat, though I feel bad for others who want to visit because again, the parking here sucks. I got their black sesame latte float with a matcha and sakura (seasonal flavor) swirl. The sakura was sweeter than anticipated and not floral, which was a bit disappointing since I didn't like it alone or mixing with the matcha flavor. The black sesame portion was fine. I like the nuttiness of black sesame in general, and I would've loved if they used more for a stronger flavor. The flavor was subtle, and with the ice and soft serve on top, got easily diluted.

    Really great matcha soft serve! Not too sweet! A little disappointed that the ube machine was out of order but I still enjoyed the matcha soft serve. We went pretty soon after they opened, so maybe they were still working out kinks with their machines as the 2 matcha soft serves we ordered were quite different. Both good, but not consistent at all. One was icier with stronger matcha flavor and was much darker in color. The other was smoother, creamier, less matchey, and lighter in color. I preferred the darker one with the stronger matcha flavor a tad more. Overall, I would recommend. Good softseve either way!

    I've been here a few times and the matcha fro yo is always delicious! I brought my family to try the mango sticky rice sundae and it didn't disappoint! I think it would have been better if I had just stuck to mango yogurt but will be back to try it that way. The staff is always friendly and efficient. The cafe is very modern and Asian, feels like the cafes in Japan.

    The matcha ube soft serve was amazing! Not too sweet but still super flavorful and tasty. The matcha was also really good, and the ube cold foam was a bit sweeter than the soft serve but balanced out the bittersweet matcha. The service was fine, employees could have been a little nicer but it'll be okay. The tables and interior felt a little bit dingy but could have been a bit worse.

    Cold 10. Matcha Latte

    I finally made it to this quaint and very small matcha cafe. The pictures on here make it look bigger than it is LOL so that caught me off guard. The designated parking lot is too small for the level of traffic they get, but you can easily park in the adjacent (and much larger) lot right next door and walk over. I'd say Matcha Cafe Maiko serves best as a grab-and-go, but there are about 10ish tables (only two being larger, 4-seaters iirc). I did see a high chair for anyone with babies. But I am not exaggerating when I say it can be really tight in there. I was there at 9PM when they close at 10PM and there was a line forming out the door with very few tables left. People seem to really like their matcha soft serve but I came to have their standard matcha. The first problem I had was that two digital menus advertised different prices. I asked the barista about it to which I was told they recently changed prices... perhaps take down the FIRST menu board that lists the older/lower prices? I was slightly irritated by that. Why have both on if only one reads the real prices? I was also blown away paying an extra $1 for oat milk with a relatively small drink that's already $6.50. It makes absolutely no sense to me. Unfortunately it just created more frustration in the process of ordering given the previously-mentioned price discrepancies. I was also thrown off by the fact that you can't order the matcha latte completely unsweetened (only the tea). As a place that advertises ceremonial grade matcha, you'd think that the powder wouldn't be pre-mixed with a sweetener. Hmmmmmm. While my latte was good, the husband did not like his as much. He said that the dairy milk was way too strong and completely overpowered the matcha leaving very little to taste. Again I have to ask just how "ceremonial" this matcha is (especially at its price point) if it isn't pungent enough to cut through milk. He preferred mine because the muted oat milk helped the flavor really come through. I was lowkey underwhelmed. The environment didn't help. No tissue in the bathroom. Cheap decor that should have been replaced/refreshed a while ago (paper peeling on the walls, etc). I'd only come back if I was in the area, but I'm not eager to revisit. The star here is the soft-serve it seems, and not the regular matcha.

    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
    Kemi B.

    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
    Ashley M.

    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.

    Ube and matcha ice cream mix with toppings
    Sheiny G.

    This ice cream is really good and definitely fresh!! It's rare to find great quality matcha anything and everything is delicious. The ube mixed with the matcha gives it the perfect sweetness to the matcha bitter flavor. They were quick with my order as well. Very quiet area with great coffee vibes

They're usually friendly, helpful, and willing to fix your order if something goes wrong. One issue I've noticed, though, is that there is sometimes a homeless person inside the store who causes problems with both customers and employees. I've asked the workers if they've tried doing anything about it, and they said they have, but it seems like management hasn't really listened to their concerns. That can make the environment feel uncomfortable and doesn't seem like the most appropriate workplace for the employees. Overall, the drinks and pastries are good, and the service from the workers is usually great. Of course, there can be a thing or two that goes wrong sometimes, but that's something you can expect at any café. With better management handling some of these issues, I think this location could easily be a 4- or 5-star experience.

Most notable was the cleanliness of the store and the amount of customers coming in and out. I was informed by a young lady at the cash register that the cake would need to be made fresh and it would take anywhere between 10 to 15 minutes to complete. I agreed to wait for the time and provided my card for the purchase and was not provided with a receipt. After 10 minutes, I re-entered the store after waiting in my car and the cake still was not completed. I waited in an additional 20 minutes for the cake. I was handed the box and left on my way. My family and I cut the cake and discovered that there was molded strawberries on top. It was slightly difficult to detect due to the fuzzy white nature of the mold and the cream that was also white in color. We immediately stopped eating the cake. With many festivities happening with our family, we reached out to Paris baguette and was provided with a phone number for the owner to follow up. We have been in correspondence back-and-forth in order to try to rectify this situation, but the response has been somewhat slow, despite the fact, there are photos of the cake and a transaction from the bank, despite not having a receipt. This is a quick situation to fix with issuing a refund and apology, but that has not happened thus far. Our family has consistently used Paris Baguette at various locations for special events and have always been satisfied with the products that we have received. More training perhaps is needed and how to handle a customer who is dissatisfied with the product and also in how to rectify situations moving forward.
