Love, love, love cafe maiko. I'm such a matcha fan and this place does not disappoints. Their ice cream is soft serve and it's delicious. I get the matcha flavor and it has a waffle cone. My son loves their classic vanilla one. They usually have some season flavors and offerings as well. My husband tried vanilla and banana pudding last time which was delicious and was part of their seasonal menu. They also have drinks like smoothies and lattes as well. Their service is fast and efficient. They are usually very busy and have a line but it goes fast and the employees at the cash register are pretty fast at getting the order ready. This location is pretty small but they have two really cute tables that are the Asian style sitting on the floor. As well as a few regular tables and chairs . Many people also do to go orders as well.

Love the matcha drinks and soft serve here. The soft serve has so much flavor without being too sweet. The cones are nice and crunchy, adding a good flavor to the soft serve. They have take home pints of the ice cream too. The matcha and ube flavors are my favorite. They can get pretty busy on weekends and late nights, so I usually grab it to go. You can scan their QR code and order too instead of waiting in the line to order.

Mango sticky rice
Sarah T.

I ordered the Mango sticky rice with mango ice cream. So tasty. The rice was well cooked and infused with the sauce. The mango ice cream was refreshing and light. The bad? Super crowded and unorganized. Inconsistent in product. I also witnessed a worker dropping a sticky rice ball on the counter and she just scooped it up and put it on someone's order. Questionable what else would be done? Suggestion: properly update IG page

Mango sticky rice with mango ice cream

Food I tried the mango sticky rice and it was delicious. I wish I went with vanilla ice cream but the mango ice cream was still good. The rice was soft and it was well crafted. Wish they would keep this on the menu longer but I can't wait for it to come back. Note that my fiancé stole it from me so I only had a few bites but it goes to show it impressed her.. Service It was pretty busy and packed. Thankfully, it was quick to order but it did take awhile to get my order. Ambiance I don't like their set up as it makes for a tight space and I couldn't figure out where the line was because people were everywhere. Try to avoid it during busy times if you like breathing space.

Matcha Latte with Ube Soft Serve
Jina P.

Upon entering, this is one busy spot. They have seating but since it is a bit crowded and small it can get quite loud. So we took it to go instead. My matcha latte with Ube soft serve was absolutely delightful. It is a bit on the pricier end but for the quality you are getting, I highly recommend!

Ube and Banana swirl.
Nicole P.

I really enjoyed the matcha ice cream here! Swirl with vanilla gave me just enough matcha flavor without being too overpowering. The cone gave it just enough sweetness. I also tried banana ube swirl and that may have been too sweet. Shoutout to the cashier for recommending banana, I would never have tried it otherwise! This cafe is very cozy, with cute low lighting and minimal seating, so if you have a crowd of people maybe order to-go. I reduced the rating to four stars because there were some rowdy customers in the section where you remove your shoes and that didn't help the ambience. If the cafe addressed the issue, it would have been 5. This place is very much a low key date place and it would have set the mood better if they had asked those people to leave.

Really good matcha and cool aesthetic with their ambiance. Service was decent, just like any other cafe.

REAL matcha experience with cute & authentic Japanese-style seating options! My iced matcha latte was so good. This cafe knows how to do matcha. Japanese approved! Also: Lots of parking!

Matcha Vanilla Mix Soft Serve Ice Cream

Always a great place for drinks and desserts, never too sweet and very flavorful. Love their mango sticky rice sundae, very good.

Close up of the Matcha Soft Serve Ice Cream. Ate the Ube ice cream
David Y.

My friend suggested this spot after dinner since we were in the mood for dessert. Ended up getting the soft serve matcha and ube ($6.35 tax inc) in a cup which was really good. It had a good matcha flavor. The texture was smooth and tasted really rich. I would highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for matcha flavored ice cream.

Such a great matcha cafe! I went on a Sunday afternoon, and it was definitely very busy and not many places to sit. It seemed like most people were getting takeout though. There was a line to order, but the wait wasn't too bad. I tried the banana pudding matcha and it was really good! The matcha itself was pretty good quality and paired surprisingly well with the banana pudding. I would definitely come back to try more of their menu!

LITERALLY DREAMIN ABOUT THIS SOFT SERVE WRITING ABOUT IT. This was their seasonal flavor- Sakura which is like a cherry blosson, floral flavor and I am not kidding you, my husband did not want to share and I am still upset that I only got two bites. I will be returning for this soon. Service is so quick even when lines are long and such a chill vibe. Love everything about this place and matcha and soft serve were on point

Nice dairy free options. The only downside they don't keep their social media updated. So I can't see what non dairy specials they have

It was my first time ordering from them on DoorDash, and I tried their signature omurice with…read moreKorean-style fried chicken skewers -- I was pleasantly surprised! When I opened the omurice, the rich egg and cheese aroma covered the entire dish, and every spoonful of rice was full of flavor. The sweet and tangy fried chicken skewers were also delicious. I also tried their mandu (beef dumplings) -- juicy and full of savory flavor. The second time, I ordered the Alfredo pasta, which had a strong creamy aroma and an addictive white sauce flavor. The only downside was the portion -- it was a bit small and disappeared too quickly!

Surprisingly, craving this got me to come back a second time. The Fire Chicken Omelette Ramen had the same presentation, but Buddok ramen instead of sushi rice. Disappointing, because I could have just made Buddok ramen at home. The Schewan noodles were not spicy nor tasty. Takoyaki was good, on a bed of potato fries. Would order again. For the Beef Bulgogi Cheese Fries, the bulgogi is good, the fries are not. These fries are from the frozen section at Costco, make no mistake. They are bland, 2/5 star fries. Even if the bulgogi was on top of better fries, the bulgogi is dry and the cheese on it isn't melty or saucy, so the fries and the topping don't mix together well. Just a pile of dry food.

The First Level / First Floor is for the coffee, teas, drinks, desserts, pastries, sweets and/or…read moreshaved ice / ice cream. The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

One of my favorite cafes in Duluth! They have a big tea latte selection, which is so helpful…read more(because sometimes a girl just wants a tea and not a coffee, you know?) I've tried a variety of their drinks, and my go-to is the Strawberry Earl Grey latte. It's SO GOOD. Nothing is overly sweet, and the tea flavor really shines. My brother likes the mango matcha and my cousin always goes for the vanilla earl grey latte (coffee) or the pistachio latte. We also enjoy their sandwiches too. Would definitely recommend this place! They have a little punch card, where your 10th drink is free, and the owner is so nice! There's waves of people coming and going, but it's not constantly super packed like other places. It's not the biggest place, but you can find seating, and it's a nice place to get stuff done. I wish I could gatekeep this place, but I also want them to be successful. Go try them out!

Summary: Great coffee, calm study cafe, just a bitter experience due to the owner…read more Black Sesame Ice Cream Latte: Yummy!! Would order again in a heartbeat. It's a couple scoops of ice cream with espresso. Pumpkin Spiced Latte: Was good but nothing outstanding. Peanut Butter Cream Einspanner (Iced): Peanut butter cream was good, but once you mix the drink together the peanut flavor is lost. If you like the darker bolder coffee taste, this is a good one to try. Vibe: Music is always upbeat and peaceful, mostly a calm study cafe but some people grab and go. Service: On my first visit I was offered a stamp card. 10 stamps, and your next item is free. The owner is always there and is very welcoming and polite, but it's only for the sake of business. It's not genuine friendliness or care for customers. When I picked up my PSL, I immediately noticed the cup was too light. I ordered a large and there was at least 1.5 inches of space between the fill line and the rim of the cup. Why pay extra for a large if I'm getting served a small? Given that the drink was prepared by the cafe owner herself, I would have been embarrassed to serve a customer such a drink. My other complaint is that I'd visited 3 times in the past two weeks, sat in the cafe for at 3+ hours each time, and was in a rush to attend a important zoom meeting, and planned to order after my meeting was over. 30 mins in, I was actively speaking on the video call when the cafe owner interrupted me to say that I couldn't sit without ordering a drink. So many parts of me want to justify her behavior, maybe she's anxious about the cafe not making enough money - but given that she has seen me before and I was actively speaking - that rubbed me the wrong way. I was beginning to feel comfortable at the cafe but that moment made me hesitant to return. If this hadn't happened, I would have considered this a 5/5 star establishment and found a go-to study spot.
