Matcha heaven for matcha fans! I’ll definitely be back. The Japanese cheesecake was below average though.

3.5 rounded up to 4 stars. Parking here is terrible. Awkward location to get into. They never have as many flavors as the other location, which is kinda disappointing. I came here looking for something that is apparently only available at the Duluth location.Decided to try matcha, which was kind of meh to me. Came back to try the current flavor of the moment which is brown sugar... Not bad. I really wish they offered the Ube and Thai Tea soft serve year-round.

I really wanted to like this place. My first impression was the parking layout. It was very limited and an awkward entrance when driving in. Interior decor was nice and place appears clean. To me, seems overprice for the amount and quality. The matcha was way too sweet to me...my daughter likes it...so maybe I will give it another try.

Very delicate asian dessert place!! Very tasty combinations, not too sweet, fresh, big sizes, nice ambient.

Evening looked fresh and green. Really liked the interior design.The tastes were new, never tried beans with ice cream!

Used to be good but now their Matcha soft-serve do not have that strong Matcha taste to it anymore. Maybe they reduced the amount of powder to it. Also, it isnt as creamy. It was kind of icy and melty. Very expensive for what you get. The customer service is okay. They arent very friendly nor welcoming. The Matcha powder at least is very good. I buy it instead and mix to a vanilla ice cream.

Matcha isnt normally my favorite but this was excellent. Creamy rich flavors, the textures mixed today perfectly. The last that worked the counter was extremely knowledge.

Pretty pricy but good, the gold ice cream is not really worth it in my opinion but it looks really nice.

I literally just went and ordered and iced matcha latte with oat milk, the same drink I always order at the other Matcha Cafe in Duluth. I received a lukewarm veggie-looking drink😃. No ice was in it, no layering or effort in presentation. If you are going to be a barista, please put the effort in layering at least a basic latte. I was so upset when I tasted it too as it was all grainy. It was not worth the $6 I paid. Least to say, I was disappointed with my visit today.Cute interior though but next time, I think I’ll stick with their soft serve stuff (something that shouldn’t be too easy to mess up)*photo was 3 mins after receiving my drink.

Authentic matcha flavor and taste. Loved it. Will be back!!

The beverages they serve are interesting and tasty, and to me a little different from the standard “bubble tea” fare that peppers this area. The shaved ice is awesome, and I only return for that. The sweet treats are very much overpriced. Last time we went, we tried the dango and mochi (shown in photo exactly how you receive it). The mochi you see in the picture - plastic and all - costs $5. We had just bought a few at the supermarket 10 minutes away for $1.80 each, twice the size. I’ve also tried their taiyaki and find it overpriced as well. Now we have our shaved ice there, and then walk to Cuckoo’s for their sesame balls. Much more delicious and cheaper too!

I have tried 15+ ice cream places in and around Atlanta and this is by far the best! I am yet to try the Match flavor (it’s on my list), but they always have interesting flavors that change every 2 weeks (approx.) that catches my eye. My friend and I have tried the Horchata, Oreo/Cookies & Cream, Pumpkin Pie and Cold Brew Peppermint Mocha (their most recent flavor) soft serves, and all of them were outstanding. The flavor has always been on point and their soft serve smooth in texture and delicious. Unlike most other ice cream places in Atlanta, they don’t have overly sweet ice cream, which is a huge plus! Some of their flavors are also very unique (like Taro Jasmine Milk Tea and so forth). I highly recommend checking out their Instagram page as they announce their new flavor periodically. I will continue to visit this place and recommend to all my friends and family.

The fb ad brought me in to try the brown sugar boba float and it did not disappoint! The ice cream is very good but the boba was pretty much sugar-less. Just make sure to really stir the drink up so the brown sugar and everything mixes. My bf got #27 (hojicha latte) and it wasn’t bad, then again we aren’t really matcha ppl. Very cute interior, limited parking spots (about 7), and nice interaction with the cashier who was very sweet. What also brought me in is their unique flavors in pint size ice cream tubs. They have white rabbit candy flavor! I’ve never seen it in ice cream form, they are expensive but I’m sure they are worth the try.

Love this place! I’m glad to have found a place that has amazing matcha soft serve and so many other desserts! They also have a lot bakery items that are matcha flavored as well. They even have raindrop cakes that look so beautiful! They always have new featured flavors for limited times. This day they had Thai tea but they also have ube, taro, black sesame, milk tea, and others periodically. They always have matcha and vanilla. They have 2 locations but I’ve only ever been to the doraville location. The inside is super cute and really nice aesthetic. They aren’t allowing inside seating yet due to the pandemic but you can still go inside and order and then they have some benches outside to sit at. You can follow them on Instagram to see the newest featured flavors.

The brown sugar boba latte float is pretty good! I got the mixed one with matcha and the brown sugar flavor definitely came through. The matcha flavor was subtly sweet and complemented the brown sugar soft serve well. However, I also bought the oolong milk tea soft serve that came in a pint, and it still had fat globules in it that werent completely dissolved, so not the best experience. I wont be getting that again. The tea flavor was also really subtle, not really there at all unfortunately.

I love everything from Matcha... and this is a really place to try it. All desserts have a Japanese touch... I was not expecting some ingredients, but you should try it at least one time.

Ive been in this spot multiple times since they opened. They have the best matcha-flavored drinks and desserts Ive tried so far. Must say its quite overpriced, but I still indulge myself since you dont find this quality anywhere else.The problem with this stablishment is one of their employees which Ive seen working there for a while. She is quite rude and always looks like she is very upset. At first, I thought she was just having a bad day, but her behavior kept getting worse and worse on my next visits. I thought I did something to upset her but after watching her for a bit she seemed to treat every customer the same way.It has become kind of an inside joke to wonder how upset she will be on a scale of 1-10 before entering the store.The rest of the employees are all very professional. If it wasnt for this particular employee and the high price, this spot would be 5 stars.

Come here for the desserts and drinks. The salty snacks like takoyaki and fried oysters are mediocre.

I have been to this location several times since theyve opened to try all their unique flavors! Ive tried the matcha/vanilla ice cream with real gold (!!!), durian, and white rabbit (an asian candy!). Coming here is always a real treat because they switch up their flavors so often. The interior is adorable as well.Would definitely recommend!!

I really enjoyed the deserts. One of the few place that have really good taiyaki

The wifey DEMANDED to come here based on the recommendation of her friends. I obliged and learned my lesson! To start with, the location of the store is truly unfortunate; the parking layout was done by somebody high AND drunk. Its plain poor parking and awful to get in and out.The interior décor is tasteful, going for a Asian forest type vibe. My biggest issue with this place is a practical one: the soft serve option for a cone is all of TWO. Matcha and a rotating flavor. I mean WHY SO FEW FLAVORS?! Of course I got both after agonizing over the overwhelming choices. They were both very sweet (verging on too sweet) the matcha and the thai iced tea.Insult to injury was when I saw the freezer full of different flavors in pint size for a precious $8. Ouch. I understand its small batch but that is quite steep for a pint of soft serve.Overall, wifeys friends oversold and overhyped this place. Its just another overpriced, nichy soft serve place in an awful location and poor selection for eat in.

Delicious matcha desserts and lots of sweet and savory Japanese snacks to choose from in a beautiful minimalist matcha green cafe with traditional Japanese decor. My first time here, I tried the Special at Matcha Cafe Maiko, which is a layered parfait including matcha twisty soft serve ice cream, sweet adzuki red bean paste (often found in daifuku mochi and red beads buns), matcha chiffon cake, mochi, jelly and interestingly corn flakes for some extra crunchiness. The matcha shaved ice desserts is delicious too with many of the same toppings. Besides sweets, there are also savory snacks like takoyaki (grilled bread batter balls with octopus inside, drizzled with mayo, a Japanese BBQ sauce, and flakes of dried fish called bonito). Ill definitely be back to try more items from the menu.

My son loves Matcha so we drove all the way here for the ice cream. The matcha ice cream (their signature) was delicious but the service was horrible. When we walked in, the girl working did not acknowledge us or say a single word. I get you hate your job, but hate it somewhere else.

Their tea selection is amazing! Cute little cafe with good WiFi and space to hangout or do work 👌🏾

I have visited this place last week to try out the matcha vanilla softy, i really like the softy very delicious perfect softy ice cream. Ambience was pretty decent but i was disappointed by the pricing as i paid 5.45 for a softy ice cream which i felt is way overpriced for a softy cone.

OMG!!! I love this lil Gem!! Great for an alternate to a coffee date. Cute little tables just for two and larger chill out areas for group hangs! The Matcha is also delicious and the staff is GREAT! Will definitely come back!!!

Spent a lot of time here recently. Tried several menu items with our local tea club. Black sesame ice cream, the shrimp and chicken dishes, raindrop ice cream, Thai tea ice cream in a cone, Thai tea latte, 2 hot teas, 2 Takoyaki... it’s 3am and we’re craving more. It was delicious!!!Staff is very kind and hospitable. The lady up front on Sunday was super phenomenal. Entire place was clean, fresh and well attended. It’s even better than the day they first opened. Highly impressed with this location!!

Hojicha tea latte with matcha/seasonal swirl is the best!!

I am so happy that I found this cafe. I visited here first time today and ordered a matcha ice cream, a crepe cake, and a latte. Although it was a bit pricey, but verything was so good. The casher was really nice. However, Id like to suggest them to have a ice cream holder. The ice cream was pretty big, and it was little bit uncomfortable to hold it while having cake and doing something with my smart phone. Whether they have it or not, I will definitely visit here again, but it would be really helpful with the ice cream holder. : )

This is my second time going to Matcha Cafe Maiko and it was delicious! Sorry I bite the top of my cone before I took the pic! You have to visit the cafe as soon as possible if you love this flavor. Next up for me will be the shaved ice.

I love the ice cream and the drinks here but it seems they dont follow CDC guidelines of mask. Im not an anti-masker at all but when Im rudely told that I cant enter without a mask, I would not be happy with it. They could have at least provided one if they are so for masks.

How did we not know about this place?! The Matcha Latte Float is so creamy it tastes like chocolate.I wish they offered a slightly larger selection of hot Matcha drinks, but you arent going to taste anything bad here. Excellent quality Cafe.The branding and interior design are also painstakingly consistent, which is nice, if a little overdone.Its a very popular spot, too, despite the inadequate parking lot. Probably want to park in the larger lot of the shopping center directly behind it (and check out Tea House Formosa while youre there). We visited late on a random Thursday night, and there was a constant stream of college kids getting their Matcha fix and hanging out.Cant wait to come back!

This place is really cute and serves awesome soft serve matcha ice cream. The item in the cup is the Maiko Special which has matcha ice cream, chiffon, chestnuts, and mochi.

Best Matcha soft serve ITP!Its the spot for Matcha (not some basic/regular green tea) lovers.

Fantastic place for premium matcha fans, and this outpost of the mini-chain really ups the game for Atlanta. Loved the Maiko Special that is a parfait with luscious creamy soft serve (that has just the right intensity of match flavor, and is skillfully controlled so that it’s not too sweet), mochi, matcha sponge cake, corn flakes for crunch, red beans and jelly drizzled with brown sugar syrup. Heaven in a cup. They have so many other drinks and dessert combos with matcha and hojicha too. I will be back, and often!!

The cake and drink we ordered were delicious. They also make fresh ice cream cone and I cant wait to come back to try them. Also, the place has great decorations and all the little plants are real and so cute.

Why are you not open when you say you open at 12pm everyday? I guess the manager doesn’t even care. Get your head straight please.*edit:Im glad you guys are on top of it and I appreciate your response. You guys are still be best place to have anything matcha. BTW, More boba in the boba ice cream would be great!

The desserts are tasty and good quality. The one downside is the are a bit pricy.

So delicious... I got an Ube latte and was so happy with it. My friend also got a Matcha latte that was good. They have soy and almond milk alternatives.

Definitely has some great matcha stuff around town. Would love to go there again

I experienced the Japanese Cheesecake and it was delicious 😋

Came here around 8pm for the soft opening. The place was packed with excited customers. The line went fast and everything ran smoothly. We tried the maiko special and the shaved iced in the big bowl. I really enjoyed the maiko special which is the matcha soft served icecream over layers of matcha soft sponge cake, cornflakes, clear jelly and topped with I believe mochi balls and a chestnut. The shaved ice cream dessert was okay. It is topped with the chestnut, mochi balls and red bean topping. Total for both was about $16. The facility is cozy and has clean simple but modern decor. Would visit again.

I got the Matcha Tea Float with half and half of the soft serve. Very delicious! Only downside is that they put a little too much ice in the cups when in reality if they just put soft serve you could really enjoy the whole experience of the Match Tea and Soft Serve together (without biting into random ice bits) But other than that, very quick service and good seating for a place to meet up with friends for a while.

I give this place stars for trying to make the Japanese desserts in Atlanta. I’m visiting from NYC and all I can say is that this place is far from any decent Japanese desserts. The ice cream tastes very powdery, pure sugar and lack of tastes to the original flavors. The ingredients they use are way too cheap to make any decent Japanese desserts. I’m just disappointed and only had a bite of my ice cream and threw out the rest.

Their matcha shaved ice is great. I wild like to come back soon

Cute little place with my favorite flavor of soft serve MATCHA ! They do also introduce new flavors but they only have them for a limited time. My friend and I love going here all the time. Can’t wait until they open the Duluth location since it will be closer to me !! Pictured is the matcha and black sesame soft serve swirl !! Delicious ! 😋

Just tried this place for the first time today since I love matcha, and it was good. We tried the strawberry matcha latte and the matcha shaved ice with red bean paste. I was very pleased with it, and I would definitely come back to try more of the menu options.

The cafe is designed amazingly and the music (pop music) gave it an up beat vibei ordered a large cup of unsweetened matcha ($4) and it was worth every penny it isn’t at all bitter the service there was also really good overall it was a great experience i would recommend to people who like matcha and/or japanese food (they had plenty of food and other drink items on the menu)

They are by far one of the best Matcha cafe that I have ever experienced. Their variety of high quality Matcha products distinguished them from their rivals. I am personally in love with their Matcha-Vanila 50/50 Ice cream and Matcha roll cake.

I love everything about this place. The icecream is always unique and fun and everything tastes well.

Tasty Treat.

Great dessert spot/cafe. You better love matcha cause its all they serve! The venue is also beautifully decorated!

If you are a matcha fan, you would love this place! Delicious and very friendly service just be conscious that the parking space is very limited and is always packed.

The cherry blossom and green tea flavored soft serve ice cream and taiyaki were both delicious. You can taste the authentic atmosphere of Japan.

I give a star because there is no zero, We arrived with five minutes to close and the personal attended to us, I cannot say that it was a good service, but I understood that it was time to close and we had arrived just on time.They attended to us quickly and a We left, after us the two young women left, and one of them, to be specific, the one with curly hair, turned and gave us an obscene sign, to be exact 🖕🏻, I did not understand why she had such obscene behavior If she doesnt like her job, do something for her.I find it very rude of her part and that is not the attention that a customer should be receive.

Really good matcha flavor. It is the same as the Hawaii location. Not too sweet and strong matcha flavor.

Matcha Café Maiko, a casual café. Very pleasant and asethically suitable for photos. Serving up some nice cold treats for these more hot summer days.While most days, youll find that parking space is very limited that when you do get a spot on one, it does make the trip kind of worth it. Theres really no tips that anyone or I can give for this location. Theres parking around the shop, but do not try to park in the rear where the restaurant is. The owners or whoever they are making to stand in the lot kicking people away make it for a frustrating situation thats better avoided.Carpool or park in the other areas nearby and walk over. Yeah, thats about it.The Maiko Special is a good choice for the first time visitors. Has a nice blend of flavors and toppings that you cant go wrong with. Personally, choosing the Mix option was the right choice for me. But theres also the traditional matcha or plain vanilla. Both are nice.Decor on the inside is very minimal, but taking traditional Japanese interior design. Add some of the items found around the tables to your photos, giving a little more variety to the mini photo shoot.Its definitely worth a try if youre in the area.

I had a good time there!

Absolutely adorable

I love all things Matcha, so this place easily fits the bill for my sweets cravings. The parking lot is small, so you may need to park in back. With Covid in place, all orders are to-go only. They serve hot and cold drinks (matcha, hojicha, etc.). The Maiko special is what you would consider a classic parfait style dessert in Japan. Super yummy filled w/ Kanten Jelly, Azuki, Corn Flakes, Mochi, Matcha cake, and your choice of soft serve (choose the Matcha, if they have hojicha that day mix or choose one). The only real downside to this location is that the shop is small so they only have two flavor choices, Matcha or (insert flavor of month here lately or Vanilla). I wish they could make Matcha and Hojicha mainstays here. Youll have to go to Duluth location for that, but too far out of my way just for that.

Had the Thai tea/matcha soft serve, was a great combination of sweet and bitter from the matcha

Friendly staff. Beautifully designed. Extremely clean. And the soft-serve is really good. Matcha is a really underappreciated in the states. Were glad that this restaurant is bringing a new twist to an old flavor.

Went for their soft opening today and was greeted with the sweet smell of fresh waffle cones. The place was packed but the service was quick and friendly. Parking right in front of the cafe may be a challenge but there is plenty surrounding the building. I had the matcha float and it wasnt too sweet, which is a sign that they use high quality matcha as other places will try to hide behind a ton of sugar. An improvement could be adding a little more of the toppings. I added adzuki beans (delicious) and mochi and, as you can see by the picture, it could have used more of both. I didnt dock points for it though because 1. Soft opening and 2. There was simply no room. Ill be back!

Loved this place! Got their special ice cream and it was delicious. However if you’re not into matcha flavor this might not be the place for you. Parking and space is very limited here.

We ordered Takoyaki which was delicious but the matcha ice cream with its agar cubes, mochi like balls and what-nots, just wasnt that tasty. My Japanese wife though, thought it was pretty good.The cost was $7 for each dish.It was an experience American taste buds may not enjoy, except for the Takoyaki, that was yummy.

Definitely a unique experience. One employee recommended a limited milk tea flavored soft serve and it was great. Awesome little spot, definitely going to be back!

Great customer service! First time having Hojicha but it was delightful--earthy and smokey flavorful latte

Mix Houji-Matcha Soft-Served Ice Cream so good!The new flavor for people who like houji

Wounderful tailored and selected dishes. Customer service inmaculate. Seating is very hectic. Waiting for a food once you order 45+ minutos (too long). BUT tasty and generous portions. Great parking and family friendly.

Very good snacks and authentic Japanese drinks ! Highly recommend the Takoyaki, karage, and tempura. The iced matcha tea is really good too!

Pretty good dessert place that also serves matcha lattes and other drinks. But thehe price is definitely too high. They also had cute plushies

Ive been wanting to come here after seeing their Instagram posts and the type. Its a place with cute little soft serve and frozen treats. Veryyyy expensive. I got the matcha and vanilla mix. I didnt like the cone too much or the matcha ice cream part. The vanilla part was pretty good, like typical, but this is not something to return for. It was not worth $5.50. Maybe $3. Parking is difficult they have a small one way lot with like 7-8 parking spaces. They were quick and its a very cute place inside. But I dont recommend due to price and quality.

Delicious matcha ice cream! Kinda small and crowded though.

Loved the desserts! Obsessed with the floats cant wait to come back

Delicious matcha ice cream! But the restrooms floor is really slippery!

The staff (purple hair) is so rules and impolite.

Limited flavors didnt like it at all

Sooo good

Need a quick 5-minute Japanese tea ceremony in soft-served ice cream or frappe form? Well, this is closest thing thatll get you there here in ATL rather than running to the airport and jumping on the next flight to Narita.The matcha soft serves is very smooth and creamy. I also got the kokuto (brown sugar) matcha cream, like the soft serve, wasnt overly sweet and very smooth.

Let me start off by saying that the ice cream was spot on for me. It was creamy and not as sweet as most places here in ATL (so be aware if you like your ice cream really sweet, this may not be your fav). The place was beautiful and clean. Staff was nice. The only reason why Im only giving it 2 stars is because of the amount of ice they put in their floats. As you can see in the pictures, We got both the matcha and Hajicha floats (both L in size), and the ice literally was filled all the way up to the top of the cups. I honestly have not seen that much ice (if at all) in any floats from any other places ever before. It was just ridiculous, my husband literally finished the tea in 3 sips after he was done with the ice cream. I do understand that the price diff is not that big between the regular soft serve ice cream and the floats (L cups), but somehow it still seemed like a rip off to me (L cup float is slightly more expensive, contains less ice cream, 3 sips of tea, and tons of ice). Btw, just fyi, I called and asked them the day after to see it would be possible to get the floats with less ice, and they said no.In the end, would I go back to this place again? The answer is yes (until I find somewhere I like better), but I would only stick with the soft serve ice creams.

Pretty good matcha ice cream and nice atmosphere

Expensive and not of my kind.

Great soft serve matcha ice cream in a cute cafe-like space.

I love this place and matcha so much! This is the only place I can enjoy all kinds of matcha drinks and desserts in Atlanta and I’m very glad that I lived close by.

So good! Got the latte and crepe cake! Neither left anything to be desired! It was a perfect treat on a rainy day.

Amazing drinks and lots of option .

Nice place to decompress with some matcha treats!

I got the Matcha Special. Didnt really know what to expect as I dont usually frequent Asian dessert spots. Some of the components of the dessert were weird to me, but overall it was a tasty experience.

Omg everything we ordered here are good so far: matcha, taro, takoyaki, cake, and taiyaki. 🤤 I cant wait to try other items on the menu next time!

This place is amazing! The food was great and to mention my sister dropped her ice cream and he topped it off for her. Really great service :D

Yesterday I went with my family, it is our first time we go, I asked for a cone but it had almost no green tea flavor, or and you can not eat inside, it is just take away, they speak English and Spanish, I recomienden

Very cute place! I love this place a lot. They serve anything matcha. From ice cream to latte! I am lactose intolerant but this didnt mess me up which was pretty shocking to me. This is a good place to chill and do homework too. There wasnt a lot of people when i came here. Only problem is the parking lot is very tiny. So it was hard to find parking

I always love the Mixed Matcha Cone every time I come here! I just tried the Taro Flavored Ice Cream(Limited Time) and was not disappointed.

Went in for the ube ice soft serve before they got rid of it, and it was real good. Smooth and good flavor.

The matcha tea latte was on point, especially since you have the option to enjoy it without a sugar overload (they use real matcha). The inside is cute; great place for a day date.

Customer service was GREAT. Didn’t really even like matcha, but really enjoyed the ice cream. They were very helpful in explaining the difference iterations of the ice cream, and made conversation very well. Inside is really clean and makes you want to come back. Super light and satisfying desert.

Great matcha soft ice cream!

Tasty! And such a nice store!

Lovely! I got matcha soft-serve with mochi and strawberry popping boba! Yum! And I got mitarashi dango. Yum!I will also try the ube softserve the next time I go.The staff was very nice especially when I asked for strawberry popping boba last second. The place was very clean and fine.I will be visiting this place every time I am near Buford Highway.:-)

Really tasty creamy soft serve, but a bit pricey for what it is. You can taste the quality tho
