One of my favorite matcha spots in the area!! I love the variety of different matcha treats from drinks to soft serve to floats! The interior is also super cute and a great chill spot to hang out with friends or even study. We got the ube/matcha soft serve and the matcha latte float. Both were super yummy! The matcha flavor in the soft serve/float was perfect as someone who likes matcha with a bit of earthy/bitterness and more sweet taste. It might not be to everyone's liking though! Ube flavor was also super solid too! If you're craving matcha, this is definitely a great spot to go to!! read more

Service was quick! Small little cafe, it gets busy. There's seating and tables. We got their matcha lattes. The flavor was yummy, pretty sweet; however, the matcha quality is not "premium" or high quality. Better than some places I've been to, but not impressive. I've been trying all the strawberry matchas in the DMV, and this spot will not be a regular for me. We ordered: Strawberry matcha 3/5 Passion fruit matcha 3/5 Overall, I might come back to try their desserts, but not for strawberry matchas. Price: $15 for two drinks read more

Stopped by to try the Maiko Special. The matcha soft serve itself was good, but the overall dessert felt a little unbalanced. The cake was on the dry side, and most of the toppings settled at the bottom of the cup, while the ice cream stayed on top. It made it difficult to get a bit of everything in each bite. One thing I did really enjoy was the waffle cone! It was fresh, crisp, and a great complement to the soft serve. If you're specifically looking for the best matcha soft serve, I'd personally still choose Bon Tea. I found their matcha flavor to be richer and more pronounced. That said, this is still a nice stop if you're craving a matcha dessert with a variety of toppings. read more

This was gigantic!! I recommend this dish in particular for 2 people. My friend got the mango sticky rice ice cream and really enjoyed it. I think the matcha at this cafe is a good value for the price. Went on a weekday during lunch and there was a lot of seating, but I imagine it gets busier during the weekends. read more

I love the seasonal mango sticky rice soft serve! It was so creamy and I loved the sticky rice, mango, and sesame seed topping. I hope it stays on the menu longer. The matcha soft serve is always amazing and flavorful! My friends and I weren't the biggest fans of the ube soft serve though. We liked the chewy balls that it came with! The desserts came out quick and there is a good amount of seating. This place is definitely packed on the weekends though. read more

The amount of options you can customize to was nice! Although, the customer service was poor for this location, especially for being on the slower side, was not greeted or acknowledge as we walked in with being the only customers, overall experience was OK, matcha was great and I would say the price is average - around $7 for an item, It was decent and worth a try and more so great for a quick sweet treat! read more

Omg, they have THE BEST MATCHA!!!! Soooooo goooddd!! And the ube taste really quality too!! Tbh I asked for side of little milk more red beans and mochi so I can kind of eat it like bingsoo and it was sooooo good!!!! I think she was working alone and literally had so many ppl come in at once and she served everyone fast!! I feel like she's likes to make sure everything is correct bc the menu can look a lot similar but she's really good at knowing exactly what you want. Also you already know, this place has so much character from hand written notes of ppl to lucky cat and bamboos and all!! I love this place and highly recommend anyone who has a good taste of matcha (Not Starbucks ) might love this place ‍ read more

Came here with family. The kids didn't like Matcha flavor much. It was their first time trying Matcha flavor, so probably not used to it. Overall nice ambience and quick service. I wish they had more flavors to choose from. read more

I really wanted to like them, but I walked out frustrated. The business hours on their door don't align with the Google hours. The staff had a bad attitude when I asked if we the ice cream on top of the float or maiko was dairy free because I didn't see it and were like idk. I felt rushed. I got the sakura foam matcha latte and there's like a powder after taste that sticks to your teeth. I feel like I need to drink water to clear that lingering taste. It's pretty expensive for a latte when there's other bakery's around. I'll try again to see if next time if I get another staff member and can change my experience. read more

Told my husband I wanted to visit this place for a sweet treat since I've never been there. I got the mango sticky rice soft serve and he ordered an iced hojicha latte. The soft serve was really good but I didn't love the consistency of the rice they put on top.. he really liked his latte though. I would definitely go back to try something different! It was pretty full when we went but service was good and pretty quick read more

I've been here soooo many times. Nothing to say but I love it! I went on a Thursday at around 4:30pm. It was nice and quiet ambiance with some k-pop playing (which I am never opposed to). The service was lovely! We requested to try the Ube flavor and we got a cute little sample- it was nice :) We eventually settled on the VanillaxMatcha soft serve in cups. Everrrrrr so yummy!!! read more

I met up with some friends and ended up ordering the Maiko Special with a mix of matcha and ube ice cream. The Maiko Special is a parfait containing ice cream, matcha chiffon, chestnuts, and mochi. It takes a bit of time to assemble, but it's a yummy dessert with lots of different textures. There's plenty of parking available since it's located in a shopping center. The interior is clean and cute with a decent amount of seating. They also have a rewards program. Staff is professional and friendly. With the price, it wouldn't be my regular dessert haunt. However, I wouldn't mind visiting again sometime. read more

Exactly what you'd want out of a Matcha Cafe; the matcha was top quality and you could taste that fact very well. The portions are very generous, so honestly even a single treat is good to share. My personal favorite item was the matcha icecream, definitely reccomend that. Employees were polite, and the place itself is very cute and pleasant to sit in. It is a bit expensive, but for the serving sizes and food quality I'd say its worth it. read more

Matcha Cafe Maiko never misses! Since opening in 2018, this place remains one of my favorites. Their flavorful drinks and cold desserts make the most delightful pick-me-ups. Tried, tasty, and true, the Maiko Special, hojicha float, and soft serve are my go-tos! And if you are local, you can grab a pint -- or two, or three -- to enjoy at home. Aside from the refreshing treats, the store is tidy and well-kept inside with a casual atmosphere. Service is reliably quick and pleasant as well. Could not recommend this lovely matcha shop enough! read more

If you love matcha, you're gonna love this place! The whole menu is just matcha. Matcha ice cream, matcha lattes, matcha floats and soo much more. When I walked in this place smelled so good like waffles and there was a lot of cute seating available. I tried the banana pudding matcha latte and it came out with such a cute presentation. It tasted delicious! My husband had the mango matcha latte and he finished it in seconds so I think he liked it!

Tried their Hojicha Latte float with mixed (matcha and vanilla) soft serve ice cream. You get to choose the flavor of the ice cream, so I thought that was nice. The staff was able to answer all my questions. Overall it was good but maybe I'll try something else next time. It was a little bitter in my opinion and it had a lot of ice cubes. Ambiance was okay, didn't feel cozy enough for me to stay longer. read more

My first matcha ice cream store that I tried here in US ever. This store is decorated with cute little wooden art by the customer. You can purchase a wood piece to draw on it and then hang it on the wall. My favorite here was always be the matcha and vanilla flavor swirl cone! Price is not too bad for the amount of ice cream on it. It has the perfect about of matcha, not too bitter and the ice cream is not too sweet. I usually come here during regular day as weekend could be pretty busy! read more

I absolutely love their ice cream. It's so unique compared to other ice cream places, and it's definitely worth checking out.

Consistent quality desserts with great flavors available. What more do you need? Maiko special is my go to because it has so many elements. It can get quite busy but the line moves fast. There's a buzz when it's busy and I see why it's a hangout. read more

Matcha Maiko is such a Centreville staple, I can't even remember a time it wasn't here. Their menu's stayed pretty consistent, with the occasional seasonal matcha latte flavor, but it's a reliable matcha spot. It's not too busy, has a lot of parking, and a decent amount of seating. I think it's a great after-dinner hangout if you're in the area. Most recently, I got the banana pudding matcha, which was great! The banana pudding essentially created a seal on the drink, so you should mix it in, but the matcha flavor still came through. read more

This is one of the best matcha ice cream spots in the DMV. The soft serve is creamy and has the perfect consistency. The matcha flavor is also very pronounced but also not too bitter. I like to add mochi balls to mine for a nice chewy bite! This one time I went service was not amazing/a bit rude, but nonetheless, still one of my favorite dessert spots! read more

FOR THOSE CONSIDERING DRIVING A WAYS FOR THE BANANA MATCHA, it's good but only truly worth it if you're in the area, maybe. It's mainly whipped cream with the bananas and vanilla wafers. So far, my most favorite dessert there was the ube and matcha swirl. The crepe cake was good but I think I'd still opt for the regular Matcha Maiko drink or the ice cream swirls that are on the menu since those are pretty good. The banana wasn't on the menu and if anything, it's likely because it's a gimmick. Overall, so- so. Would maybe come again if in the area, probably not driving another forty minutes for it though. Superb marketing. read more

I've been coming here for years since they've been open. The owner is really nice and works hard. Whenever I crave for matcha I always come here! I LOVEE their matcha and hojicha frappé! They have a good balance of a nice strong taste and sweetness. Also, the matcha and vanilla mix soft serve is creamy and sweet. Sometimes when you walk in you can smell the waffle cones since they make it there. read more

I wanted to check out the banana pudding matcha. I went on a Saturday, about 30 minutes after they opened and there was line to the door. The interior is small but there's plenty of seating. The drink itself was okay, I've come to learn that matcha just isn't my thing. I've tried to give it a chance, but it's a no for me. The only issue I had was that many of us in line ordered the same thing, and when the drinks were ready they would just shout "banana pudding matcha." This made it hard to know who's drink was who's. They could have shouted the order number that was listed on the receipt. read more

The matcha powder here is the best of the best that I have ever tasted because it is dark, bitter aftertaste which is awesome matcha flavor, and matcha aroma. The taro soft serve was pretty tasty as well with chewy mochi and other toppings. The hojicha matcha ice cream float was my favorite because it is the best combination for me. The hojicha tea itself is unique and strong tea based flavor of roasted tea and the match ice cream mixed in all together is sweet, aromatic, cold, melting, delicious and bitter of tea and matcha mixed which is amazingly tasty! read more

First time here and it was great! Admittedly, we went in 15 min before closing and yet it was BUSY (in a good way!). They still let us purchase our cones and it was delicious. I enjoyed the Ube & Vanilla Mixed Soft Serve with the waffle cone. The Vanilla wasn't anything special but the Ube was incredible as well as the waffle cone. At the bottom of the cone is a small mochi as well which was a sweet surprise. My boyfriend had the Match and Vanilla Mixed Soft Serve and enjoyed his cone as well. Overall a super solid 4/5 read more

TL;DR: one of the best and consistent matcha soft-serves in the area. Waffle cones are the GOAT I come here way to often to not have written a review yet. Whenever I'm craving matcha and/or soft-serve, this place always hits the spot. The service is quick and attentive, so it's always a great time. Their menu is quite extensive, and I have not tried many of their drinks. ~Matcha soft-serve (5/5): Their matcha soft-serve has an pretty intense matcha flavor. I personally love it, but it could definitely be too strong for some ~Matcha Vanilla Swirl (5/5): For those who don't prefer that strong matcha flavor (e.g. my husband), the vanilla mellows it out wonderfully! ~Ube soft-serve (3.75/5): this flavor was okay, but maybe would have preferred it mixed with vanilla. Was a bit too earthy for me ~Waffle cones (5/5): this place has one of the best waffle cones ever! I think they make them in-house, so the cafe smells of it, as soon as you walk in ~Matcha shaved ice (5/5): I love this option. Shaved ice with matcha tea, honey, and soft serve of your choice. Like bingsoo but smaller. Comes with a chestnut, red bean, and some mochi balls Overall, this place never disappoints me! read more

I went to the Tyson's location first a few months ago and now I'm actually at a physical store to try this place out too. Like the other location, this place specializes in Matcha. Matcha drinks, desserts, ice cream, sweets... you name it. Open entering, there are open tables on the side next to the counter where you order, a nice cute sofa section with some spots to sit at the window, and a wall of wooden tags with lots of things written on each and every one of them. There's more tables in the back for additional seating but I didn't venture that far to sit down. I decided to stop by and try something much more than the Matcha Ice Cream cone I got at the other location. So I went with the Maiko Special. It's a nice parfait with interesting toppings. Matcha and Vanilla ice cream mixed along with Matcha Chiffron, Chestnuts, and Shiratama Mochi! Overall, the ice cream mix was very satisfying, like a perfect blend of not too sweet but just right enough. The shiratama mochi was chewy but it didn't have much flavor. It's interesting texture wise but I paired it with ice cream and it was alot edible to eat. The matcha chiffron? It's a pretty good sponge cake and that when paired with everything else added an extra layer of sweet to it that the cake needed. I thought this was amazing, and I'll probably get it again. This is definitely the better location versus the one at Tysons where it's a small stand. I hope I can come back to try more of the Matcha sweets! read more

A cute and modern little dessert & drinks cafe! This location has a fun wall covered in wooden tags, which you can buy and draw or write your own message at the counter. Also, the smell of the shop is AMAZING! It's like the smell of warm, fresh baked bread (but I guess it's actually mochi). I went here on a Thursday night with a group of 7 after having KBBQ. The restaurant was lively but not packed, and it seemed like there was only one staff member that night. Despite that, she did a great job of moving the line quickly! I ordered an Ube & Vanilla soft serve in a cone. It cost around $7, which I found on the steep side, and is the only reason I left 4 stars instead of 5. The ube flavor came through really well. It was sweet and mild and I loved it! The vanilla tasted pretty plain and I wished I had ordered ube only. The cone ended up being a bit too much for me to eat so I didn't finish the whole thing. I'd definitely come back here next time I want a light dessert to top off a stomach full of KBBQ or when I'm looking for a sweet treat that doesn't stuff you! read more
