Their matcha strawberry latte is also absolutely TO DIE FOR! You can really taste the quality, especially knowing they use premium matcha from Uji, Japan. As matcha lovers, we can definitely appreciate that! The matcha soft serve is creamy, refreshing, and absolutely perfect for a hot Arizona day. You really can't go wrong! We'll definitely be back again and again! Highly recommend stopping by if you're a matcha lover!

If you love matcha, this place is definitely worth checking out. Everything we tried was delicious, and they have plenty of options for any matcha lover.

It does get pretty busy, so you might have to wait a little bit, but trust me--the wait is worth it. Great treats, great food, and a cool place to bring the family. Definitely recommend Matcha Maiko.

Service was non-existent and poor. Cashiers looked like they did not want to be there; they were out of strawberries which is a staple in a bunch of their cones. Cashier didn't make any recommendations to other ice cream cones of modifications to make the cones work in place of missing strawberries. I had to ask a few times to figure out if I could get a certain cone without strawberries. I got the Cheesecake Cone, it was good but very messy. I'd recommend sitting down to eat. I wasn't give a napkin or spoons but you definitely need it especially if it get hotter. The price is up there for a singular cone it's about $11, they also have optional tipping that doesn't feel optional. The restaurant is clean, but lacking in keeping you around. They have tables you can stand around outside, but the objective inside seems like to get you ice cream and get out; I'm sure it makes sense during busier times. All in all it's good, just not great. I'd come in again and when I do I hope the customer service is better.

The coffee was very good, they have a couple of alternatives to 2% but no nonfat milk. And some sugar free options, I had vanilla. For $5.99 I got a pretty large coffee and I was very happy with it! The waffle and crepes were both good, waffle wasn't crispy but very buttery in flavor & the fruit was fresh. We do wish they had more savory options on the menu but overall a good place to try with plenty of seating.

It took at least a good 5-7 minutes before I got my food, it was hot and fresh. And the savory chicken with sweet waffle was perfectly balanced. This was my first time having bubble waffles, and they were yummy. They were 'churro' style and had a very light cinnamon and sugar flavor. The chicken was a really good portion, hot and crispy. And there is a side of fried crispy chicken skin, ohhhhh so salty - so good! While they maybe be considered more of a sweet shop with their churro, ice cream, and boba offerings, they have a pretty good savory food menu. The staff was super nice, and I'm definitely going to come back here!! Thank you Churro Nest and Yelp! For this experience. I rarely ever go to Tempe Marketplace, so I dont know if I would have found this place otherwise! It's located across from Forever 21, and next door to piercing shop Rowan.

Churros: because life needs more magic wands made of dough and sugar!…read more As someone whose sweet tooth is on the smaller side, I like that this place has some savory options. It allows me to enjoy a snack with my friends who are all about that sugar rush lifestyle. I do recommend the breakfast bites for a sweet option. The churros are cut smaller, and you get a mountain of whipped cream and fresh fruit to dip you churros in. It's like the chips and guacamole of in the churro world. The churro-crusted churro-style Hong Kong egg waffles are a must. They drizzle a nice chipotle syrup on top, and they even give you fried chicken skin to munch on. The chicken loco moco is also good, although I suggest asking for more gravy. I'm a gravy fiend, though, so if you're about moderation, it's probably sufficient for you. Milk teas and coffee are good here, but I would pass on the syrupy fruit drinks. This place also offers adorable egg cups, so if you're a sucker for a cute Instagram-worthy beverage, this place does a good job. I like it here! I hope you like it here too. The place is a bit warm, though, so be warned. Bring a hair tie!
