    My friend and I came for coffee/dessert to catch up. I had coffee before meeting up, so I opted for frozen yogurt - got black sesame. I did really enjoy it - but do feel it could've had some more flavor. Next time, I'll have to try something with matcha given the name of the place!!! The place was really clean and had enough space for both our strollers! Will definitely be back for another sweet treat!

    The interior is cute and has a nice vibe. I ordered a black sesame latte and it was undrinkable. Ended up throwing it out. Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought since it was a latte there would be coffee in it but it's his milk and black sesame. The matcha was okay. Not amazing but at least drinkable. Overall definitely won't come back. Aesthetics are cute but taste is not there.

    I never knew they had one of these so close to campus! And something with so many OPTIONS! My obsessions with matcha started up not too long ago and now that summer hit, I was so ecstatic to try something NOT COFFEE or ICE CREAM - FINALLY! This is it! I was in heaven! And I even got to sit next to the lucky cat :) Delightful menu with a lot of great options for specials on flavors for their soft serve and shaved ice - I tried the oolong tea with ube and matcha shaved ice with mochi and matcha brownie/cake. WOW my eyes were bugging out of my face when I got there. I still wanted more. Need to come back! The staff definitely stayed composed while this all went down, but I hope they got a kick out of my merriness at least :) Definitely a nice spot to meet with friends and have a cool treat and good for groups too!

    Matcha Soft Serve
    Kimberly F.

    I was so excited to try this place, and it did not disappoint! Best matcha soft serve I've ever had. It wasn't too sweet and still has the strong matcha flavor. They also give a lot of soft serve. The seasonal lychee flavor was also very good. They also had ube and other kinds of dessert. Service was really good even though they were super busy. Almost all the seats were full, but we were still able to get a table on a busy Friday night. There's a big free parking lot for the plaza, which is very nice. If you want matcha, definitely go here!

    This cute shop is located in a pretty busy plaza right next to Trader Joe's. Parking might be tricky especially during their busy hours. Hubs and I arrive Saturday afternoon and parking was quite packed. The menu is very straight forward. Their matcha quality is great! I personally really liked my husband's Hojicha latte. It was creamy, sweet, and bold. My matcha yuzu was refreshing and bold in flavor but the consistency was a bit off. I don't think my matcha powder was mixed thoroughly. The quality of the matcha is great though. I will still come back and try their soft serve next time.

    The ice cream is so creamy and the matcha flavor isn't lost in the sweetness. The ambiance is very cozy and modern. The ladies at the counter were very sweet and provided their recommendations as well.

    My first time here after seeing it for so long and I was so excited to finally try it out! This cafe is located super close to ASU campus in the same shopping center as Trader Joe's and a few other stores/restaurants, so the parking lot can be fairly busy at times. We got the matcha float and matcha latte float (we couldn't decide if we wanted a matcha or ice cream!). I will say the matcha float is a lot more bitter if you're into that kind of matcha. You can definitely tell they use high quality matcha here, and the ice cream is delicious! The drink itself was okay, I let my ice cream melt into my drink more and it was better after that. Overall, I would visit again. Maybe not for a matcha drink, but for their ice cream.

    Osthmanthus & Matcha Maiko special
    Lei G.

    Always a favorite to stop in for a treat. Got the Osthamanthus & Matcha maiko special this time. Delicious!

    Special with ube and matcha ice cream
    Christine S.

    Delicious!!! Everything tasted so yummy and the matcha flavor was quality! I got the special and chose to get ube and matcha ice cream. It comes with all the toppings including mochi, matcha cake, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and coffee jelly. The ice cream was so creamy, I'd come back again just for the matcha soft serve again. Plenty of seating inside.

    Strawberry matcha float

    Hit up Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko for the first time last week. It's a cute spot, located in busy plaza in Tempe. on ASU Campus, and teh traffic reflects that. Parking can be a little chaotic, but there is a lot of great spots in this area, so honestly, I get it. It's located on the first floor, underneath Society and to the right of Blick's. The space is bright, clean abd provides ample seating, so i can see this being a great spot to cowork or meet with friends! They have a pretty vast menu of Matcha offerings, from floats, ice cream, lattes, tea's, shaved ice, as well as other soft servce ice cream flavors including ube, jasmine tea, classic vanilla (with the option to swirl!). You can also get pints to go, which is pretty cool! I got a strawberry iced matcha latte. All drinks to come presweetened, but I do wish they had a scale to allow a bit more customization, since it's such a relative thing. I asked for lightly, but did have to ask for a bit more after taste testing! Though it was iced, it came out sort of lukecold and most the ice was melted, so that was a bit disappointing, My friend got the strawberry matcha ice cream float with Matcha ice cream, which honestly was far more stand out! THe ice cream is so good, but the entire thing was MASSIVE, I think i'd have a major stomach ache after having the entire thing. THe prices are relatively on pair for more cafe's, maybe a tad more. With the small iced strawberry matcha latte coming in at $7.25 and the float at about $9. Overall very cute space, not the most amazing matcha latte I have had, but worth it if in the area, and deifnitely worth it if you want some matcha ice cream!

    Matcha latte with ice ice cream
    Michelle D.

    This cafe was bustling with people and some were even working. They had so many matcha options even one that tasted like "toasted matcha" we were super happy with our custom latte and the girl behind the counter was so helpful! She was super kind and let us try samples and explained everything to us about the different flavors and how to order. Their menu is huge! No food at this cafe but they have drinks and dessert drinks. We will be back!

    Wonderful place! Asked for unsweetened matcha for strawberry matcha latte and it came out great. Since strawberry "jam" already has sugar it's enough for a matcha. So happy for ASU students, who can enjoy matcha ice-cream and drinks here

    Parfait with matcha/earl grey

    Love Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko! I recently went to Japan and learned more about the cuisine and appreciated this even more afterwards. The Matcha tastes just like it does in Japan and stands out from other cafés in town that serve Matcha. I went when Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko first opened and a couple years later and the quality is consistent. The ice cream is very creamy with balanced flavor and the Matcha tea drinks are strong but not bitter or gritty. I really love the shaved ice and the float! I recommend Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko and would choose this establishment every single time when I have a craving for Matcha, Hojicha, or a Japanese sweet!

    Ask the Community - Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko

    Do they offer dairy free options?

    Yes and no. For drinks, they offer oat and almond milk. But unfortunately, their ice cream has dairy.

    Do they have wifi?

    They do!

    Is the matcha tiramisu and matcha souffle cakes for dine in only?

    both have options for take out, the tiramisu will be in a different box though, but same delicious desserts!

    Do they sell matcha powder here for at home lattes?

    Nope they don't:) just treats

    Are there dairy free options?

    I just googled and they have options for dairy free options all you have to do is ask for almond milk matcha latte or iced matcha with no sugar.

    Do they have vanilla flavor soft serve?

    Yes!

    Are there any business hours yet? I went on a day where on the door it said it should be open. On yelp it said a different opening time (though I was there after that time and it wasn't open). I cant wait to try it but with gas prices am reluctant.

    It shows on their IG site that for July Store Hours: Monday to Thursday: 1PM - 9PM…

I have been there many times, and it is convenient as I work within walking distance of Sparky's. Whenever I am walking along Mill Avenue and am craving some ice cream, Sparky's is one of my main stops in the area. The ice cream is delicious. Some of my favorite flavors are Batter in Bed and Banana Cream Pie. However, I have had just about every flavor that they serve, and all of them are delicious in their own ways. I like the pleasant atmosphere. Nice and low-key place where you can relax and enjoy your ice cream. The general manager, Connor, is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. He is always a pleasure to talk to whenever I have some time for a friendly conversation during my lunch break at work. Every time I stop by, he ensures I feel welcome and right at home. Another bonus is that they have a rewards program, which offers five dollars off once you accumulate enough points. I recommend it to anyone in the Downtown Tempe area who is looking for a delicious ice cream treat.

She was super friendly and knowledgeable and let us sample multiple flavors before deciding. I also thought it was such a cute touch that they give you real metal spoons to sample the ice cream instead of the little plastic ones. All of their ice cream is homemade, and you can definitely taste the quality. I ordered the Pecan Turtle Sundae, and baby it was phenomenal. They also have purified water available for customers, which was another little detail I appreciated. Parking tip: Since it's in the city area, you'll most likely need to park in a parking garage. Make sure you bring your parking ticket inside because Sweet Republic can validate it and give you 2 hours of free parking. The only reason I'm giving it a 4.5 instead of a full 5 is because the inside is pretty small. There's probably enough indoor seating for only about 4-5 people, so it's definitely more of an outdoor-seating or grab your-lice-cream and go type of spot. That would be perfect during Arizona's fall and winter months, but during the summer heat, I definitely want to sit inside with some AC. Other than that, everything was phenomenal. Great homemade ice cream, amazing customer service, great vibes, and convenient parking validation. I would absolutely come back.
