    Ube Soft Serve,  Soft Soft-Serve Ice Cream (Matcha), Soft Ice Cream (Vanilla)
    Nali G.

    The matcha soft serve was so gooood but as for anything else matcha... it falls flat for me. The soft serves were great but I personally wasn't a fan of any of their drinks. The service is standard and the place is small and tucked away in a plaza. I would recommend getting their soft serve!

    I tried the matcha soft serve and overall thought it was pretty solid. I liked how big the portion was, and the matcha flavor was very strong and tasty. However, the consistency of the soft serve had more of a sorbet texture than an ice cream one, so I do wish it was creamier and less icy. However, service was great and there is a lot of indoor and outdoor seating.

    I have Matcha Cafe Maiko bookmarked for a while. It is located at Atlantic Time Square. The cafe has indoor seating. I like the Japanese art around. The cafe has cozy vibes. They have a high quality matcha and many matcha drinks for matcha lovers. The menu includes hot drinks, tea , latte , kokuto jelly drinks, frappe, shaved ice, soft- serve ice cream, parfait, float, and more. We ordered strawberry Matcha latte and Banana Matcha Latte. We got the large size for an extra dollar. We paid $21.32 for two dinks including tax. The drinks are kind of pricey, but the quality was good. The service was very fast. Yes! I will come back to try other drinks or ice cream

    Always watery. Blaming this on the machine instead of fixing it.

    If I can leave a zero star, I would. The cones were very watery and the matcha floats had no flavor with too much ice. I've heard too many times the machine was not working properly therefore the cones were watery. Stop the excuses if they want to remain in business. Fix the machine and live up to the premium matcha name.

    10/10 Ube and Matcha soft serve swirl - Omg this is literally perfection right here. The aesthetics, the combination of flavors, and the crunchy, delicious cone!! I love this spot. I've never been to a location I haven't liked. Cost - $8.29

    Right next to my favorite Hawaiian restaurant, it was hot, so we decided to try the matcha/vanilla swirl soft serve. It was good -- the vanilla helped smooth out the taste of the matcha. They have lots of other flavors, and it was busy. Shares parking with a large strip mall, and service was quick!

    great service and love the plaza this shop is in! the soft serve was so delicious in the parfait but all the other toppings were okay or tasted bad. did not like the red bean or jellies at all but the cake was decent!

    Ube matcha swirl

    Enjoyed the ube matcha swirl soft Serve in a cone. Service was okay. There are tables outside to sit and enjoy. Also there are tables inside to the right of the store.

    Delicious

    Matcha Cafe Maiko is a matcha lover's dream. Located in Rowland Heights this place is a dessert heaven. I ordered a matcha float which has matcha ice cream on top. It was delicious and overall I think this is super addicting and refreshing as well. It doesn't taste overly sweet and has a good balance. There were people here at night but the line went by pretty quickly. So if you are craving some matcha and want it in the form of a dessert this is a pretty good spot to come.

    Delicious matcha flavored ice cream at reasonable prices! Big serving sizes that you can definitely share with one other person!

    Mario Yanie D.

    Love the matcha ice cream... it's bitter not too sweet. You can taste the matcha and for $8 they give you in huge size ice cream in the cup. I feel it's worth it rather than buying matcha latte that you barely can feel the matcha flavor. I recommended it.

    Matcha Vanilla Swirl
    Daniella P.

    Very delicious ice cream and it's also open late! Very strong matcha flavor so I'm glad I balanced it with the vanilla.

    8/3/2026 First time…read moreat this location. Ordered via self-order kiosk. GUAVA MATCHA COLD BREW My order: Less ice, Normal Sweet, No milk. Clean, matcha cold brew. Light bitter flavor. Light fruityness. The guava flavor does not overwhelm, but complements the matcha. The sweetness level was not too sweet nor too bland, but just right. A delicious drink on a hot 90 degree day! COLD HOJICHA LATTE W/ VANILLA COLD FOAM My order: Less ice, Normal sweet, Whole Milk Ordered this drink before at the Irvine location. So had to reorder this drink!Earthy hojicha flavor with vanilla cold foam. The cold foam is creamy and it tastes like a dessert drink. It is slightly more sweeter than the guava matcha cold brew because the vanilla cold foam is also sweetened. I will say that the Irvine location's cold foam tasted better with more depth in vanilla bean and brown sugar flavor overall. However, this drink was good too! CUSTOMER SERVICE Greeted upon arrival, barista was friendly and helpful. AMBIANCE + SEATS A small place, but there were a few tables inside. One large table for 4-5 people and two tables for two. A relaxing ambiance if you want to sit and just enjoy your drink. It is possible to bring your laptop and work there as well, as it is quiet inside. PARKING Located inside Seasons Place shopping and business center. There is plenty of parking. However, there is still limited parking in front of Junbi.

Cold Madagascar Vanilla Latte -- 7/10 Smooth, bold, and good but nothing really special. Cold Yuzu Dragonfruit Jasmine Tea -- 9/10 So refreshing and flavorful! My only complaint was the normal ice... there was SO much ice that after about two sips, it felt like the tea was practically gone. Next time, definitely less ice! Overall, both drinks were good-we just wished there was a little more tea in the cup. Service was good and the place was clean. It's a cute little cafe. Would definitely go back and try more drinks (and maybe actually get the matcha next time).

They bake them fresh multiple times throughout the day, and you can definitely tell. I also love that they have several different flavors, so there's something for everyone. I really enjoyed their Matcha Frappuccino too! Just know that it's more like a matcha smoothie than a traditional matcha latte. Don't expect a super strong or intense matcha flavor--it's creamy, refreshing, and still really good! My teenage daughter really liked it too, and she normally doesn't like matcha when the flavor is too strong. And surprisingly, one of my favorite things was the pineapple soft serve! It totally satisfied my Dole Whip craving without having to make a trip to Disneyland. Between the fresh coffee buns, drinks, soft serve, bingsu, and scones, there's a lot to choose from. Definitely a fun little spot to check out in Rowland Heights!

They are made fresh daily and my only regret is not coming sooner so I could have bought more. We also tried their croffle (croissant waffle) which was a nice hot treat as well.

Once I moved to Hacienda Heights, this location became my goto. The tea and boba is consistently good, they really got the recipe down! The popcorn chicken used to be a lot better but the last 5 times I ordered it, I only got the smallest pieces of chicken and most of it was super hard so I stopped buying that. The fries and other snacks haven't let me down yet though (except the small portion size). However, this last visit really put a bad taste in my mouth. I usually get my drinks at all boba shops with no ice, I just like to slowly sip on my tea until it gets to room temperature. They recently changed it to 80 cents to top off when ordering no ice, which I already didn't like but they only kept maybe an inch from the top all the past times I bought it which was fine. Today, however, I ran into the skimpiest employee who only gave me 2/3 of my drink! What the heck?? Tastea cups are already 4oz less than most other boba shops and they've slowly been increasing their rates to stay at the top (aka more expensive), despite hot having any of the latest trendy tea flavors or toppings. Tastea is good, but if I'm only going to get 2/3 of my drink, I'll just go somewhere else.

Just be prepared for crowds because it can get very busy with college students, especially at night. The space itself is pretty small, but they have a drive-through, online ordering, and the option to order with someone at the counter. I usually order the taro slushy with light ice and less sugar because I don't like my drinks overly sweet. I've always enjoyed the drink itself, and I also like that their cups feel sturdy and higher quality than the thin plastic cups you get at many other drink shops. The fries were also good. It's a bit pricey $7 for the fries. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was a horrible experience. I placed an online order and saw my name on the drinks that were ready at the counter. No staff members were around, so I reached over to grab my order. An employee suddenly appeared and told me that I couldn't just take it. There wasn't a sign telling customers to wait, and at places like Starbucks and other drink shops, completed mobile orders are normally left at the pickup counter for customers to grab. I understand if they have a different policy, but it should be clearly posted and communicated politely. I also requested no seasoning on my crispy tofu because I don't like their seasoning. The manager rudely told me they couldn't do that because it was supposed to come with seasoning. However, I contacted their customer service team afterward, and they confirmed that the tofu could absolutely be customized without seasoning. They even offered to replace it with a complimentary order prepared the way I originally requested. When I returned and explained the email I received, the manager acted very skeptical and almost seemed like she didn't believe me. The entire interaction made me feel uncomfortable, especially when I was only trying to receive the replacement their team had already offered me. I liked coming here for the taro slushy and convenient late hours, but after the way this situation was handled, I don't think I'll be returning.
