    Matcha and strawberry swirl
    Malinee S.

    This is a must-visit spot every time I come to BC! The special flavor this time was strawberry -- very fragrant, but a bit too sweet for my taste. I ordered the matcha and strawberry mix, but the strawberry ended up overpowering the matcha flavor. Still, it's always a place I look forward to visiting!

    As a big matcha fan I was excited to try out the matcha soft serve of this shop. It opens at 1pm and it offers matcha / hojicha soft serve and other matcha drinks. The matcha soft serve shows a dark green matcha color and has an intense matcha flavour. Customers can ask to dust additional matcha or hojicha powder on top of the soft serve. I never tried it with the matcha powder so I give it a try. To me, the matcha powder does not enhance the experience but did the contrary. The matcha soft serve is too intense matcha but not enough sweetness so the bitter taste becomes too prominent to my liking. I do not feel it's worth the effort to come from downtown to have the matcha soft serve here.

    Ambiance: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 My friend and I were craving matcha so we came here on a weekday. We both ordered the kids size matcha soft serve and chose to get Hojicha powder on it. While I wouldn't say it's the best matcha soft serve I've ever had, it was pretty good! Definitely on the less sweet side which is good if you don't have too big of a sweet tooth, but the matcha didn't taste bitter at all. I also appreciated that they gave us kids sizes since it was the perfect portion size! My one disappointment was that when we were waiting in line and we saw others order iced matchas, they had these pre-made in jugs in the fridge which isn't ideal for matcha so I would maybe stay away from the iced drinks.

    Visited here for the first time and was pleasantly surprised with all the different types of matcha desserts here. Small sitting space. I got the birthday free ice cream cone and you can choose the type of matcha and also have it mixed with their daily(?) special which was mango that time. Ice cream was really smooth and the matcha flavor was nice. The size they give looks smaller than people's photos so they probably have a birthday size. Would come back to try their parfait.

    Matcha maiko is my favorite place to get matcha dessert items. This time, first time I got Birthday freebie and got Matcha mango soft serve! It was interesting combination, that mango flavor was a bit stronger than matcha flavor. It was a great treat and will revisit to get new items !

    Unfortunately they were out of matcha when I went but I had the vanilla ice cream w matcha powder and it was good. I'm definitely going to go back again

    I came here during their anniversary weekend when they were having buy 1 get 1 half off! I'd been meaning to try this place for a while and saw they had a banana float specifically for their birthday. I tried that along with their soft serve. It was pretty busy during the promotion but service was prompt and I got both items fairly quickly. Both items weren't too sweet and I especially liked the creaminess of the soft serve. The banana latte tasted very natural and having had several banana matchas in May, this was a solid option but not my top pick -- 4.5 stars overall.

    No better opportunity to try a new cafe than during a promotion! Came by for their 4 year anniversary celebration and tried out the matcha latte and matcha with jelly! Both drinks were earthy and packed with matcha goodness

    Stopped in for a pick me up before our two-hour drive to Whistler. It was a Thursday just before 2 and we had just beat the rush because a few groups came in just after us. I had the hojicha iced latte, which was perfect. I didn't want anything with too much caffeine. The roasted flavor was very nice. Hubby had the matcha latte float, which was also very good - but I wasn't in an ice-creamy mood. I wish we had something as delicious and reasonably priced in NYC!

    Delicious matcha/ hojicha icecream!! Can't believe I didn't know of their existence until now even though they've been open since 2019! Yummm!

    Matcha Cafe Maiko is a place I've already frequented numerous times throughout the years and is the place I frequent when I'm craving matcha desserts. I find their quality never misses and they have a large variety of ice cream type drinks/parfaits/desserts etc. The matcha and hojicha are strong enough and not too sweet (although still not comparable to the numerous levels of matcha you can choose from Japan!) When you order ice cream, you can choose a powder topping and I always love the kinako soybean for additional flavour and deliciousness. Their location is a bit hard to park at (only street parking) but still well worth a visit. There is minimal seating available as well inside but normally on a nice sunny day, it's always nice to eat outside anyways. Service is always fantastic, thank you Matcha Maiko!!

    Pot O' Yogurt - long lines for the grand opening

    Pot O' Yogurt

    Came to Pot O' Yogurt back in early March after seeing a post on Instagram from foodie influencers…read moreabout the grand opening. On the grand opening weekend, they had a buy one get one free smoothie deal plus a lucky draw if you post about it in Instagram on the day of the opening and show the staff your insta post on your phone. I entered the draw and won a swag merch of a air freshener you can put in your car. Not bad! There was a free umbrella for the first 100 customers given out as well but i missed it. As recommended by the Instagram foodie's post i saw, i got their strawberry avocado yogurt smoothie. It actually tasted better than i expected! I could taste the avocados but the yogurt made it very creamy and sweet, and the strawberries were chopped and added in instead of blended in with the avocado and yogurt. It was a pretty refreshing drink. It was not way too sweet which is good. I highly recommend their strawberry avocado yogurt smoothie. The queue to get in wasn't too bad, as it was about 15 minutes to line up to order and another 10-12 minutes to wait for your drink to be made. They had about 5-6 staff in the back making the drinks and 2-3 staff at the cash registers. One of the staff handed out papers with info about the lucky draw and the grand opening deal. They didn't have any seats to enjoy your drink inside at the time and it was packed with people waiting for their order. I'd say their yogurt drinks worth a try for sure. I'd like to try their items like mango yogurt or their frozen yogurt cubes on my next visit.

    They specialize in avocado yogurt drinks and it is really good. It is thick and smooth. However, I…read moregot the pistachio avocado smoothie and I expected some pistachio flavoring but instead it was jusr avocado smoothie with pieces of pistachio. It was not a good combo. The oreo smoothie doesn't have much taste as the yogurt flavor itself overpowers it. It is also less thick because there's no avocado in it. The avocado smoothie tastes great but they only have that one gimmick for drinks. The other specialty they have is frozen yogurt pieces which are quite expensive.
