    Cold 10. Matcha Latte
    Amari A.

    I finally made it to this quaint and very small matcha cafe. The pictures on here make it look bigger than it is LOL so that caught me off guard. The designated parking lot is too small for the level of traffic they get, but you can easily park in the adjacent (and much larger) lot right next door and walk over. I'd say Matcha Cafe Maiko serves best as a grab-and-go, but there are about 10ish tables (only two being larger, 4-seaters iirc). I did see a high chair for anyone with babies. But I am not exaggerating when I say it can be really tight in there. I was there at 9PM when they close at 10PM and there was a line forming out the door with very few tables left. People seem to really like their matcha soft serve but I came to have their standard matcha. The first problem I had was that two digital menus advertised different prices. I asked the barista about it to which I was told they recently changed prices... perhaps take down the FIRST menu board that lists the older/lower prices? I was slightly irritated by that. Why have both on if only one reads the real prices? I was also blown away paying an extra $1 for oat milk with a relatively small drink that's already $6.50. It makes absolutely no sense to me. Unfortunately it just created more frustration in the process of ordering given the previously-mentioned price discrepancies. I was also thrown off by the fact that you can't order the matcha latte completely unsweetened (only the tea). As a place that advertises ceremonial grade matcha, you'd think that the powder wouldn't be pre-mixed with a sweetener. Hmmmmmm. While my latte was good, the husband did not like his as much. He said that the dairy milk was way too strong and completely overpowered the matcha leaving very little to taste. Again I have to ask just how "ceremonial" this matcha is (especially at its price point) if it isn't pungent enough to cut through milk. He preferred mine because the muted oat milk helped the flavor really come through. I was lowkey underwhelmed. The environment didn't help. No tissue in the bathroom. Cheap decor that should have been replaced/refreshed a while ago (paper peeling on the walls, etc). I'd only come back if I was in the area, but I'm not eager to revisit. The star here is the soft-serve it seems, and not the regular matcha.

    First time eating at a matcha cafe in Atlanta and it wasn't bad. I mainly loved the aesthetic of the establishment and the ease of ordering. The ube/green tea cup we had wasn't anything too special but it still hit the spot. It definitely seemed like a chain which made sense. Not the best quality ingredients but overall pretty enjoyable.

    As a new Mom, it was very much needed that I get back into drinking matcha (IYKYK). I took a long break while I was pregnant and even before as I felt like it was almost too strong for me and made me a bit shaky and anxious. But my new postpartum body of mine is welcoming it with ease, and this matcha spot has been on my list for far too long! Another local spot that doesn't have the most inviting curb appeal, however, don't let that stop you! Parking is quite limited, so I can imagine this location can feel/get busy quickly. My bestie and I arrived at the perfect time in the early afternoon and before we knew it, there was a line all the way out the door as we were waiting for our orders. I truly came here for the matcha soft serve if I'm going to be completely honest, but then my friend pointed out their matcha tea floats and I was immediately sold! Unfortunately, the ube soft serve was not ready yet so we couldn't do the swirl, but I went with the strawberry matcha latte with almond milk and the matcha soft serve on top. Probably one the greatest treats I've had in a very long time!!! Will definitely make the trek out here again soon.

    Was visiting the area and friends and I saw this location and had to stop by. Such a great vibe for a small shop, which gives it more of that mom and pops vibe even though it's a franchise. The decor is great and looks well put together. There are seats to do work, meet with friends, etc. In terms of the drinks, the matcha was really good! I loved my black sesame matcha latte and the Ube matcha latte was good too! Definitely worth a visit! Also, although I didn't order it, I saw someone order one of their ice cream type of items and it was massive and looked super delectable. It's $10 for one but it huge totally seemed worth it!

    Matcha Ice Cream, Vanilla Ice Cream, Edible Gold

    I heard of the cafe because of the aesthetic inside and ice cream looked yummy! I am actually not the biggest fan of matcha ice cream, but I did a half and half with vanilla. Was not bad and the gold while looks cool, just looks good for pics! It did not taste like anything. Quick service and cute ambiance. Seating was plenty! Good amount of parking in the lot outside.

    We tried the matcha mango sticky rice! Highly recommend it with matcha ice cream and asking for extra coconut rice. Dessert was a 10/10! There is limited parking in front of the store. I would recommend parking in the plaza behind the store.

    Seasonal swirl- Ube and Matcha  Drink
    Anna B.

    I absolutely loved this ice cream! One of my top ice cream spots now! Service was quick and nice! The only thing I may not like so much is the location is a bit weird with the parking; and the inside of the cafe is a bit crowded but they do have plenty of seats to enjoy your matcha.

    I've been to Matcha Cafe Maiko more than five times, and when it first opened, it was one of my favorite spots to grab a refreshing treat. Lately, though, the experience hasn't been quite the same. On my most recent visit, they were out of vanilla soft serve, which was disappointing. The space itself feels dated now -- mismatched furniture and not enough seating, especially if you come with a group. My friend and I sat at a table, only to have a group of six pull up extra chairs right next to us minutes later, which killed the relaxing vibe. That said, the treats are still delicious -- the matcha flavors are rich, creamy, and satisfying, and the service is consistently good. Bottom line: If you're just craving a matcha fix, you'll still leave happy. But if you're looking for a cozy, comfortable spot to hang out, the cafe could use some updates to bring back the charm it once had.

    This little place was too cute! The parking is only couple spots in front of the building but it is very cozy when you walk in! The staff was very nice and helpful! This was my first time having matcha ice cream and I was so happy! Just blown away! Check them out because they won't disappoint!

    Second time back yummy service great vibe cool It's gets crowded fast I'll be back many more Times

    Mango sticky rice Sundae (with mango ice cream)
    Mariana C.

    I've visited this location a couple of times in the past, when they have their Black Sesame flavors on the menu (highly recommended). Today I came for the seasonal Mango Sticky Rice Sundae... it's soooooo good! It was quite busy but the service is always fast, efficient and friendly. I really like the minimalistic vibe and comfort. The is is one of the Buford Hwy places that I always keep coming back to.

    Banana Pudding Matcha Latte
    Jina P.

    All the hype about the banana pudding matcha latte just for it to be so underwhelming. Raise your hand for everytime you see people hyping something up just to be disappointed! The idea was great but the execution could have been better. It had so much potential but I didn't like the taste. It was not enjoyable and it was an expensive drink which is understandable.

    Exterior sign
    Kaila T.

    Most people know of this spot from social media advertising their popular matcha ice cream. To date, the most talked about item on their menu is the banana pudding matcha drink. Im not the biggest banana girlie so I opted not to try that drink. This place is planted right in the center of the Buford Highway street that extends for miles. This location does have a small limited parking lot. So be mindful when you're coming here during peak hours. The place isn't big either and during the weekends it can be pretty packed. The barista and cashier were super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. They have matcha ice cream pints in their freezer for purchase as well. I tried their strawberry iced matcha & let me know tell you! It did not disappoint at all! I 100 percent savored every sip of the matcha drink. Since this place has become extremely popular the prices are higher than a typical Dunkin coffee shop. I will say the price is worth it for the great experience.

I reserved/ordered a cake on 03/24/2026 to be picked up on 03/26/2026 @ 9:00am (Today). When I ordered the cake I wanted something large enough that could give approximately 20 people a decent enough piece of cake to eat. The guy taking the order said a 10" cake is not shown in the display but it would probably be enough for 20 people. There was literally no special instructions, special messages or deviations from the same design that was in the display case. I asked if two days was sufficient time for this cake to be made and ready by 03/26/2026 at 9:00am to which he replied "the staff comes in at 3:00am and since it's two days it will be enough time". I paid and left. The morning of pickup (Today) approximately an hour before pickup time they called me from an unknown number several times and when I didn't pick up they texted me. They claimed they didn't see my order until this morning and that I needed to provide a week's notice for the type of cake I ordered (In direct conflict with what I was told on the day I ordered it). They then offered to push my pickup time back 3 hours and "try" to have it ready by then or give me a 7" cake and a 9" cake instead. After they messed up and didn't provide what I ordered in the first place, it's safe to say I didn't have much faith left in either of the alternatives they offered nor their word. I opted for a third option, my money back. This cake was supposed to be for a 96 year old grandmother's birthday and her friends. But never mind that, there's always next year, right? Potential customers be warned and make absolute SURE you VERIFY with whoever you're ordering about WHAT you're ordering before spending any money here. Edit: I will extend an olive branch and give one star back because they addressed the mistake and maintained communication in a professional manner.

One friend mentioned their strawberry matcha is amazing, so that's definitely on my list for my next visit. Another thing I loved: they showcase work from local artists that's displayed and available for purchase. Love, love, love when cafés support local creatives. They also offer a few pastry options that could pair nicely with your drink. Will have to try that next time My only wish? That they stayed open later because I could easily see myself hanging out here all the time. If you appreciate great coffee, good and chill vibes, and cafes that really know their craft, definitely check out Kin Coffee. They even roast their own beans, which makes it a true coffee lover's spot.

It's a bit of a drive for me, but when I'm in that area, I always make a point to stop in and pick up a couple of their delicious croissant-donut pastries and marzipan or almond croissants. That's the beauty of this bakery--it's a chain, yes, but the consistency is what keeps me coming back. I have yet to be disappointed. Of course, I had to stop at this Hilton Head location--and I didn't come empty-handed. Food connects people, and bringing pastries to your host is always a winning move. I picked up three different varieties of their famous croissant-donut style pastries (similar to the well-known cronut): * Chocolate * Tiramisu * Mango And I added two large almond croissants that were beautifully filled, flaky, and indulgent. Everything looked fresh, full, and irresistible. The setup inside is easy and efficient. It's self-serve: you grab a tray, line it with parchment, use the tongs, and select whatever catches your eye--from baguettes to cakes to coffee drinks. Checkout was quick, Apple Pay was accepted, and the whole experience felt smooth and well organized. The space was clean, friendly, and inviting, with plenty of outdoor seating. Bottom line: Whenever you see a Paris Baguette on your radar, pull over. It's dependable, delicious, and perfect for picking up pastries to share--or to treat yourself. For me, it's one of those rare places that delivers the same quality every single time, no matter the city--and that kind of consistency is something I truly appreciate as a traveler and lifelong foodie.
