    Mango Jasmine w Coconut Creme

    Mango sticky rice in a cup?? Yes please! White Peach Oolong + Mango ice cream + Sticky Rice - tastes like mango sticky rice in a cup Mango Jasmine Coconut Cream - strong jasmine tea flavor, very smooth. Mango Coconut Breeze (blue top) - refreshing, tastes like coconut water + mango slush. Strawberry Matcha Latte - looks fresh and tastes good (bitter matcha + sweet strawberry). All four are good. Not too sweet. Will come back.

    I went here twice today. Once for the sakura coconut drink, the flavor had to grow on me, though I did enjoy it. I went back and got the ube ice cream, which I did enjoy. Thank you to all the girls who are working hard to make everyone's orders and ensure that everything is running smoothly! It is usually busy, however the wait was not long at all for my ice cream, nor my drink.

    Many people waiting their turn for the kiosk

    I've been to the Matcha Cafe Maiko in Chinatown and was in awe that they got another location in the Tangram mall in Flushing. It is on the 2nd floor of the mall in the food court section. You can spot it really well when you get off the elevators. It is literally next to it with the huge logo on the wall. It has no doors and has an open to the public concept that you cannot miss. This afternoon I went there to check it out and grab floats and ice cream and was shocked at how many people were lining up to get matcha! There were 3 kiosks and in person cashier to place your order. I decided to go with the kiosk. I got a matcha latte float that came with ice cream on the top. I got to decide on 2 types of ice cream flavors and I went with matcha and Milo chocolate malt. I also got a matcha pudding with soft serve and chose matcha and ube flavors to go with it. Surprisingly with the number of people waiting for their orders, my order was ready in less than a minute. The staff were super fast with the orders. I didn't even have to wait. The matcha ice cream on the top of the latte float tasted amazing and authentic. I could taste the matcha flavor really well without adding any sugar. The Milo chocolate malt was not that salty as I imagined. They actually did not balance out the matcha and chocolate proportions well. I ended up getting more matcha ice cream than the chocolate on my latte. After I finished the drink, I realized how much ice was in the cup. It was half the cup left of unmelted ice. I didn't even know that it was going to be that much. I wish they gave less ice so I had more matcha latte in the cup. The matcha pudding with matcha and ube ice cream was really good too. My daughter had that and ate all the ice cream really fast since it was so delicious and creamy! Overall, the drinks and ice cream were really good but it was too pricey and wish they hadn't add that much ice in the latte.

    Matcha lavender dessert drink

    Good quality desserts and dessert drinks. A bit on the pricier side, but still good Ordered the matcha lavender dessert milk drink with no ice and 0% sugar. If you mix it, the matcha overpowers the lavender and you won't taste it much anymore. But overall still a good drink Service was super fast and professional. It can depend on when you go, this time I didn't have much wait on a Thursday evening

    I finally got around to trying the matcha latte here! I had tried their seasonal ice cream flavors before but never the matcha latte as I wasn't a fan yet. Apparently this spot has one of the best matcha lattes that you can find in NYC. Ordering was done via the tablets or register. They also had signboards out with deals that weren't available on the tablet menu. Right now they're introducing hojicha as a new flavor. On weekdays, they have a special for $8.88 where you can get one of 2 drinks and a custard or red bean taiyaki. I got the matcha latte with 75% sweetness and that was perfect for me. It really might be one of the best matcha lattes I've had in NYC (but the all time favorite is still Tokyo). 10/10 would get another matcha latte from here or maybe try one of their other flavors. Prices are a bit on the higher side at almost $8 for just one drink.

    Sakura Foam Matcha Latte, Maple Oat Hojicha Latte
    Amy S.

    A nice coincidence that we found out about Maiko Cafe Matcha in August of this year being fans of matcha. Of course, we tried the matcha and ube soft serve along with the amazing guava and lychee soft serve! Always up for matcha which goes well with various ingredients such as ube or adzuki red bean. We went to Maiko Cafe Matcha again in November to try the Maple Oat Hojicha Latte only to order the Sakura Foam Matcha Latte as well. Why not try these unique desserts and drinks?! Located in a conspicuous spot in the food court at the Tangram mall, you can't miss Maiko Cafe Matcha. Good customer service. Everything seems more streamlined with the menu displayed on the plasma screen and the promotional ads on the kiosk. Happy that there is a Maiko Cafe Matcha in Queens!

    Lychee Flavored
    Lonnie K.

    It's a great treat to have after your dinner. $10 per soft serve whether in a cone or cup. Creamy and delightful, I would definitely recommend this spot for ice cream. Great serving for one person or sharing between two people. It's inside the Tangram Mall. Accessible by the 7 train. Lots of seating all over the place if you wanna sit down to enjoy. Ambiance wise is very cute and instaworthy. Staff is always polite and pretty fast service too. Love their seasonal flavors from time to time like lychee + strawberry + mango. Tend to come here often by myself or sometimes with friends. Always taste fresh and not too sweet. Everything is 100/10 in my book.

    This spot has some delicious stuff! Everything tasted fresh and the staff were welcoming. My order of the lavendar match was really tasty. Great spot to pick up something sweet or to dri k before leaving Tangram. The place is near the entrance of the food court so it can be super busy and loud. They have kiosk to order from too, but it can have a line and may be easier to wait on line.

    Matcha Jasmine Latte
    Stephanie T.

    Matcha Cafe Maiko opened its first store in Hawaii with the goal of providing customers quality matcha with the authentic taste. Today there are Matcha Cafe Maiko locations in multiple states. All Matcha Cafe Maiko products are imported straight from Uji, Japan. Matcha Cafe Maiko is located on the 1st Floor by the entrance of the Food Hall in Tangram. There are 2 order kiosks. The menu consists of soft serve and drinks. I ordered the Matcha Jasmine Latte with 50% ice and 75% sugar. When I took my first sip, I smelled and tasted the jasmine. No wonder it is listed as all natural flavor. WOW! It had really good flavor and the drink was fresh, pure, and not overly sweet. Their teas are definitely worth every penny. I can't wait to come back to get Matcha Cafe Maiko again!

    Vietnamese Coffee
    Lily L.

    I actually wish I could've given this place a 4.5 stars because I usually like everything that they served except for what I got this time around. They have a new flavor soft serve which is Vietnamese coffee one and I was sooooo excited to try it ad a coffee lover. But the flavor fell extremely flat and tasted as if it was old coffee grounds. Both my boyfriend and I are avid coffee drinkers and love coffee flavor anything but both did not like this flavor at all. Usually, I love trying their limited flavors and they usually hit the mark!

    Matcha Ube Split
    Jando S.

    As one of my favorite US-based (#1) chains, I'm so thrilled that Matcha Cafe Maiko finally made its way to NYC a couple of years ago. As unlikely as Flushing would be for a destination, it makes sense to be featured in a place as grand as Tangram. It seems to be working since there's rarely been a time that I've come here and there wasn't some additional wait time due to all the people. They have a number of folks working the counter, but almost all the orders are placed through a kiosk. Like all things New York, the prices seem to skew higher with soft serve cones at $9 and specialty items in the $12 range. A majority of their signature lattes are around $7.25-$8 and like all stalls, there is no dedicated seating. (#2) The matcha products, from the soft serve to the drinks is good. I personally love to get the best of both worlds with a latte float ($10.25) with a whole soft serve mound atop a matcha latte. The dalgona matcha latte ($7.25) is also worthy and almost all the lattes can be swapped out for hojicha. The strawberry matcha latte is an easy go-to since the Boba Guys made it popular, but I'd recommend alternative flavors such as the blueberry matcha latte or banana pudding matcha to mix things up. Seeing as hot as NY gets in the summer, the soft serve is always going to be a winner. From the classic matcha and ube, other flavors include lychee and guava. Swirm of all of the flavors above is also doable. Caution: ice cream melts fast in these parts. The soft serve is more like hollow serve (#3), but do it quickly. __________ (#1) Hawaii. Did you really think it was from Japan? (#2) Legit had to negotiate with a few aunties hogging up all the open seating. (#3) Laugh or eat. I chose both.

    Since adding the option of ordering via a screen, the lines have moved much faster. Matcha Maiko is on the top floor of Tangram Mall. There's always a fun seasonal flavor such as hojicha or pandan. Their classic matcha flavored soft serve is always creamy and delcious. My friends and I have tried the coconut matcha latte and matcha latte with soft serve on top. Everything's been great and you even get the option to add matcha/hojicha/etc powder on top of the soft serve after your order is ready. There are no seats for this cafe, but there's seating in the food court nearby.

    Located in Tangram mall, this Matcha Cafe Maiko location is a great stop for a sweet treat. They have a couple kiosks where you can order at, and service is relatively quick considering how popular it can get. They have a variety of matcha and other Asian drinks and cold desserts. Every month, they also have specialty flavors. When I went, I got their matcha and lychee parfait while my friend got their matcha soft serve. The parfait had so many different kinds of toppings and the portion was generous. Love their soft serve and I will definitely be coming back. (Their quality is also pretty consistent across locations!)

    Always wanted to try Meet Fresh and was excited to see that the one in Tangram is nice, close, and…read morespacious! I came on a weekday night with my friends after dinner and there were no guests sitting or ordering. They have a kiosk for you to order from by yourself but it is set very high so it may be out of reach for some people. When I tried to order with the cashier at the counter, I was not greeted with a hello or a smile. The lady would give me one word responses and not accommodate me in any way. I've been wanting to try their shaved ice specially the Thai Tea series so I was pleasantly surprised that they still have it. I ordered the Thai Tea Shaved Ice in the medium size and it was about $20~. This was the smaller size out of the two, but even so it is meant for at least two people. It comes with toppings such as pudding, boba, mochi, sago, scoop of vanilla Ice-Cream, and coconut flakes. I had no idea it came with coconut flakes as that's a big no-no for me. I'm also not a fan of boba, mochi, or sago but the lady said they are irreplaceble. I really wanted grass jelly but I did not want to pay an additional cost when there are so many toppings already in the bowl I cannot finish. The pudding and vanilla Ice-Cream are good and elevates the whole dessert platter, but the ice melts pretty quickly when it's just one person eating it. I wished they have a small size for a cheaper price for people who just wants to eat alone because it's crazy that my dessert is more expensive than my dinner! Also, I wished the employees were more accommodating with the toppings. It was a decent experience overall as the place is very spacious and comfortable. My friends and I enjoyed our desserts and catching up with each other. There is no restroom inside the dessert shop. You have to walk out to the shared one with the whole mall next to the food court.

    Fast casual dessert spot with ample seating but high prices…read more Seating seemed cozy and clean when I visited last week on a weekday evening. Went with friends and ordered the following: - ube & taro paste signature - thai tea shaved ice - thai tea tofu pudding (+$1 each for sago and lychee jelly topping) Desserts were tasty but the prices were hard to justify - especially $20+ for the shaved ice. Every topping you add is +$1 which can rack up your dessert total pretty quickly (fyi, the thai tea tofu pudding will only just be pudding and ice for $10 if you don't add anything. Also presentation wise, the pudding wasn't the best) Overall, I think it's pricey for what you're getting but if you're a fan of ube and/or shaved ice desserts, this would be a spot to hit up!

Not only are they opened later than a lot of dessert places that I have found in flushing but their desserts are also great! This time around my friends and I got the Fresh Coconut Pudding with Golden Crisp Rice and it did not disappoint. Firstly, the pudding in itself was not overly sweet but had a strong coconut flavor. The texture was perfect in the sense that the pudding wasn't too hard inside and the golden rice crisp was a delicious finish on top. It added a nice crunch to the bite and also gave like a toasted coconut feel when tasted together with the pudding. The second thing we got was like a durian mango sago. I am a big fan of durian so I really enjoyed this dessert. The durian was perfectly sweet and custard and the mangos were sweet but tangy giving the dessert a little more depth. Although I only got two desserts this time around, I do want to point out that their shaved ice is not something that you should miss out on either. I have had many of the flavors and have never been disappointed. It is super fluffy and milky and just melts as soon as it hits your tongue. It is something that I order majority of the time that I dine in (they have a big variety so I just switch it up). The experience at this dessert shop is always great and since they have a call button for whenever you need a server, it feels a little more intimate and private!

Their bingsoo is always so fluffy which I really like and the mango flavor is super strong as well so it doesn't feel like I'm having plain bingsoo once I get to the middle. The croffles from here are always sooo good. They're so chewy and warm which was super comforting for the cold weather that has been going on recently. This place is self service so the only interaction you have with the staff is when ordering. They are always super patient and helpful. The cute cafe has quite a bit of seats as well but because it is pretty popular around the area, it does fill up quite quickly.

There are 4 different takes on takoyaki. I took T1, the classic rendition with bonito flakes. Menu said jumbo, but actually it's just slightly larger than the mini ones I've had else where. Taste was good, but as is the case everywhere, they didn't really put much octopus in them. Their version also wasn't sweet which to me was a good thing. I don't like the fact that many Japanese savory dishes tend to be too sweet. Overall, it was a good experience.
