    Ambiance: it's a trendy desserts shop, hot and humid inside no air conditioning running for a very hot day, tables were dirty without being cleaned promptly Service: slow and careless, it took a while to place the order and their pick up was chaotic when there's people ordering similar items Food: their menu is specialized in matcha ice cream and drinks MAIKO SPECIAL - *** Soft Serve of Matcha and Vanilla, Chewy Mochi balls, chestnut, and sweet red bean, Matcha sponge cake, crispy corn flakes, and agar jelly soaked in kuromitsu syrup, average taste Soft-Serve Ice Cream - *** mix of ube and matcha Price: overpriced for the quality, not worth $25+ for two orders

    5/18/26 Matcha Cafe Maiko Monterey Park, CA...Came here with 3 great peeps! I got a matcha soft serve! Yummy! My friends got Ube waffle Cone and a Matcha Ube soft serve. The two ladies at the front counter all business. Nice and clean little place, good seating. Cool designs on walls inside! Come try this place!

    Friendly service and yummy options. Shaved ice, cups and cones. We had Ube and Matcha ice cream. The place was not busy, so the floors and tables should have been a little cleaner. Service was great. We'll be back.

    Hojicha Tea Float with matcha and taro soft serve

    I got the Hojicha Tea Float and wow! For $8-9, you definitely get the value! This drink dessert is huge and can be shared. The height of the ice cream was almost the same heighy as the cup! I had to ask for an extra cup to hold it all! The quality of the matcha was great, very sweet and creamy. I also really enjoyed the hojicha too. This is in the Atlantic Times Square. There's a lot of seating and tables here for you to enjoy.

    We stopped by Matcha Cafe Maiko after dinner and shared a waffle cone. It was huge and delicious! Seen it but had not stopped in. Glad we finally did! The soft serve was so good! We're definitely going back to try more! Such a cute vibe! Service was good at the counter but tables could use more frequent wipedowns. Will definitely be back to try more flavors.

    Came around 9ish? Got the mix with vanilla and matcha. I think if i got matcha on its own itd be too strong. Actually, This mightve been the reason why i couldnt sleep. The vanilla and matcha was a good combo. Got the waffle cone but when the softserve melted inside the cone, it started dripping. Gotta eat it fast if you dont want ice cream everywhere. also, Love the pokemon pictures they have in here.

    Matcha latte with jelly

    Hands down one of the best matcha ever. Doesn't matter which location I go to , LA, Vegas, Hawaii, it'll always be fire! This is what matcha tastes like. Sweet, bitter, smooth I definitely got my matcha fix

    Matcha latte float
    Kara L.

    Located at the Atlantic Times Square plaza with garage parking available. I got the matcha latte float which is such a steal. The matcha ice cream was really smooth and creamy. And once I finished I had the matcha latte to enjoy. I think getting the float is a better deal than just getting the drink or ice cream separately. Staff was also very friendly and nice

    Matcha latte is good and standard across all their locations. It's a staple for me. This location seems new and there was only one worker running the whole store so it took a while to get our drink on a Saturday afternoon. There were quite a few people waiting for their drinks but no line to order

    This spot is located in Atlantic Time Square, and the soft serve here was absolutely delicious. We ordered the Maiko Special with a mix of ube and sesame soft serve, and it was such a fun and interesting dessert. What made it unique was the layering, on top was the soft serve, beneath that a cake-like layer, and at the bottom something similar to chè. Each layer had a distinct texture and flavor, making every bite different. Everything was well-balanced, not overly sweet, and very satisfying. Portions were fairly large, and it made for a great treat. Definitely something I'd order again.

    Turns out, I didn't know they had a Matcha Maiko here in Monterey Park, no longer needed to head all the way to Rowland Heights, this spot is in the Atlantic Time Square right across from other food spots, perfect for a post meal treat. Parking - Free in a huge underground lot, plenty around This is one of the most popular spots for matcha and rightfully so. It's a great collaboration between ice cream and matcha drinks itself. Service is damn quick here, I got my drink in about 5 minutes despite the cafe being super busy. Quality here is amazing, very similar to the Rowland spot. I love the matcha latte here, even without the ice cream float, it's still very tasty. If you like high quality matcha type drinks, this is the spot to go. Certainly a nice collaboration between ice cream and matcha, definitely worth checking them out.

    Katie C.

    Soft serve portions are fairly large. Located in the Atlantic Time Square, tons of parking underground. Matcha Ube Swirl (soft serve)- seemed overpriced for what it is. Matcha portion is pretty grainy and leaves a weird waxy film on spoon as you eat it, I ordered mine in a cup. Ube portion was good, not too sweet. Banana Cream Matcha Latte -tasted as I expected it to. Matcha wasn't bad and wasn't amazing.

    I stopped by Matcha Cafe Maiko for the first time yesterday, Sunday 1/18/2026 at around 2:45 PM with my girlies. I ended up ordering: Matcha Latte medium less ice $7.40 ($8.18 including tax) - pricey and comes in a super small cup. The matcha tastes good quality, not astringent or grainy, and they did put enough scoops. It also had a nice rich green color. However, just be aware that regular sweet here leans on the sweet side and this is coming from someone who usually gets fully sweetened drinks. Those in my friend group who got drinks thought their drinks were on the sweet so just be sure to ask for less sweet. Customer service: Decent, pretty straight forward interaction with the staff member. Store Interior: Not really impressed. Simple with a few seating booths with tables inside. It was stuffy inside and they had the door opened. It eventually cooled down, but it was hot for some time. We were able to get a table and got to stay for some time to chat. Tip: Be sure to get your stamp card! All in all, I thought the matcha was good, but pricey. If I were to come back, I'd try something new like the soft serve or hochicha!

I've been here before, but ever since Salju went viral on TikTok, it's definitely gotten a lot busier compared to past years. That said, the quality is still great. I ordered a regular milk shaved ice with mango and mochi, plus condensed milk drizzled on top. The shaved ice itself and the toppings were delicious, but I'd probably skip the condensed milk next time since it made everything a bit too sweet for my taste. Portion sizes are generous. The small is easily enough to share between two people, and the medium is massive. There are tons of flavor options to choose from, and orders come out pretty quickly despite how busy it can get!

It's a smaller dessert spot with about 3-4 tables available, but it gives off a cozy and chill vibe that we really enjoyed.

I was really surprised that the cheesecake filling was actually delicious! Creamy, smooth, and definitely something I'd order again.

Yes, it is sweet, but it definitely is meant to be shared. Price is here are more than reasonable. I feel like they don't charge an arm in a leg for their drinks so their desserts. This is I would think the median price. Or at least it happens to be when we are in the Monterey Park or San Gabriel Valley area. The consistency of their drinks is always appreciated. I love that they make teas as well as smoothies and milkshake type drinks. The wait time obviously will vary, depending on how many orders have been put in ahead of yours, but usually the wait time is not long. I feel like even when I've been here in the line to order is out the door, the way to receive your drink is still not a long time. There is a parking lot in the back. There's also street parking on the sides of this strip mall. I love coming here. The designs on their cup change throughout the year. I tend to reuse and repurpose my bottles that I get from here. My little one is still in elementary school. So I have found that their thin Crayola brand washable markers fit very nicely in these bottles, as well as their colored pencils.
