    Peach oolong soft serve
    Fateha A.

    4/5 Peach oolong soft serve $9- really good, very peachy, great as long as you don't get the sakura cold foam ($1 extra), the sakura cold foam was very subtle, which after some research, is naturally so, I like my flavors & fragrances to be strong enough in food w/o being overwhelming

    Really LOVE the mango sticky rice parfait with added lavender soft serve. The lavender soft serve has a nice true lavender taste. Mangoes are soft and ripe and pairs so well with the authentic sticky rice. Hubby enjoyed his espresso matcha soft serve with coconut water. Would definitely return to have both of these treats again. Lots of other drink options as well and the lines can be long. If you're lucky enough to grab a table, you can sit and enjoy this treat. Super busy and high noise level on weekends.

    This review will primarily be based on the mango coconut drink on their new menu. I saw that there were new mango based products on the matcha cafe menu and I rushed to get it. The mango was sweet and delicious, but for some reason, I've never liked it in a drink. The coconut flavor was present but the drink itself was mild and odd. Next time, I'd probably get the mango soft serve. This drink was a 3/5. The service was a 5/5. I was glad to see that it was ready for pickup when I got there. I ordered it 20 minutes in advance and I liked how the servers/workers made the drink for me on the spot. The ambiance was super lively, even though it's in a small spot.

    Matcha Soft Serve

    Counter service / quick service selection. They have a loyalty system if you input your phone number soft serve was pricy as expected but absolutely worth the money. We thought it was delicious and can't wait to return. The area it's located in is in a mall food court with plenty of seating choices.

    Menu

    The Mrs. and I walked down an empty street of Chinatown and noticed a Matcha spot so we ventured it. Completely empty inside but that menu was enticing. I ordered The Lemonade Matcha Float with a helping of Matcha and Ube Swirl on top. It was freaking phenomenal. Only bummer was half my cup was ice. My wife ordered the Matcha Strawberry something something and that was just as tasty as my drink. Service was quick. Highly recommend and we will be back later this week!!!

    Matcha Soft Serve!
    Parker G.

    Matcha Cafe Maiko delivered in every aspect!! I had heard good things about this establishment, and they most certainly did NOT let me down! We stopped by the mall they're located within specifically to visit them, and I found the experience to be wonderful! First off, ordering at the kiosks was extremely easy, and despite the large amount of people, they had our drinks that had been ordered ready in no time at all! My Matcha Latte with Sakura Foam was absolutely perfect in the sense that it was subtly sweet with nothing being too overpowering - I loved the slight fruity hints and the great quality to the matcha. My partner wanted the soft serve Matcha, which he found to be thoroughly enjoyable. It's in a mall, but the venue itself is very clean and easy to access. Regardless, I highly recommend this spot for giving a try!

    Many people waiting their turn for the kiosk

    I've been to the Matcha Cafe Maiko in Chinatown and was in awe that they got another location in the Tangram mall in Flushing. It is on the 2nd floor of the mall in the food court section. You can spot it really well when you get off the elevators. It is literally next to it with the huge logo on the wall. It has no doors and has an open to the public concept that you cannot miss. This afternoon I went there to check it out and grab floats and ice cream and was shocked at how many people were lining up to get matcha! There were 3 kiosks and in person cashier to place your order. I decided to go with the kiosk. I got a matcha latte float that came with ice cream on the top. I got to decide on 2 types of ice cream flavors and I went with matcha and Milo chocolate malt. I also got a matcha pudding with soft serve and chose matcha and ube flavors to go with it. Surprisingly with the number of people waiting for their orders, my order was ready in less than a minute. The staff were super fast with the orders. I didn't even have to wait. The matcha ice cream on the top of the latte float tasted amazing and authentic. I could taste the matcha flavor really well without adding any sugar. The Milo chocolate malt was not that salty as I imagined. They actually did not balance out the matcha and chocolate proportions well. I ended up getting more matcha ice cream than the chocolate on my latte. After I finished the drink, I realized how much ice was in the cup. It was half the cup left of unmelted ice. I didn't even know that it was going to be that much. I wish they gave less ice so I had more matcha latte in the cup. The matcha pudding with matcha and ube ice cream was really good too. My daughter had that and ate all the ice cream really fast since it was so delicious and creamy! Overall, the drinks and ice cream were really good but it was too pricey and wish they hadn't add that much ice in the latte.

    Matcha lavender dessert drink
    Aaron Y.

    Good quality desserts and dessert drinks. A bit on the pricier side, but still good Ordered the matcha lavender dessert milk drink with no ice and 0% sugar. If you mix it, the matcha overpowers the lavender and you won't taste it much anymore. But overall still a good drink Service was super fast and professional. It can depend on when you go, this time I didn't have much wait on a Thursday evening

    Mango peach oolong swirl

    I finally got around to trying the matcha latte here! I had tried their seasonal ice cream flavors before but never the matcha latte as I wasn't a fan yet. Apparently this spot has one of the best matcha lattes that you can find in NYC. Ordering was done via the tablets or register. They also had signboards out with deals that weren't available on the tablet menu. Right now they're introducing hojicha as a new flavor. On weekdays, they have a special for $8.88 where you can get one of 2 drinks and a custard or red bean taiyaki. I got the matcha latte with 75% sweetness and that was perfect for me. It really might be one of the best matcha lattes I've had in NYC (but the all time favorite is still Tokyo). 10/10 would get another matcha latte from here or maybe try one of their other flavors. Prices are a bit on the higher side at almost $8 for just one drink.

    Definitely a solid and reliable option for dessert. One thing that really draws me to Matcha Maiko is really the variety of desserts and toppings that they offer. They sell lattes, sundaes, soft serves, soft serve on top of lattes, it feels like you can really mix and match whatever cravings you are having. They offer toppings like as mochi, red bean, jelly, etc and all these different texture and variety make the desserts that much more filling. and in my opinion, makes the price more reasonable. My boyfriend and I will usually always go for the float. We love being able to have both a latte and soft serve in one. The latte itself is pretty decent and the soft serve has more of a thicker consistency which we enjoy. The soft serve is always creamy, smooth and had a strong matcha flavor. Overall, definitely a solid place for dessert.

    I went here twice today. Once for the sakura coconut drink, the flavor had to grow on me, though I did enjoy it. I went back and got the ube ice cream, which I did enjoy. Thank you to all the girls who are working hard to make everyone's orders and ensure that everything is running smoothly! It is usually busy, however the wait was not long at all for my ice cream, nor my drink.

    Sakura Foam Matcha Latte, Maple Oat Hojicha Latte
    Amy S.

    A nice coincidence that we found out about Maiko Cafe Matcha in August of this year being fans of matcha. Of course, we tried the matcha and ube soft serve along with the amazing guava and lychee soft serve! Always up for matcha which goes well with various ingredients such as ube or adzuki red bean. We went to Maiko Cafe Matcha again in November to try the Maple Oat Hojicha Latte only to order the Sakura Foam Matcha Latte as well. Why not try these unique desserts and drinks?! Located in a conspicuous spot in the food court at the Tangram mall, you can't miss Maiko Cafe Matcha. Good customer service. Everything seems more streamlined with the menu displayed on the plasma screen and the promotional ads on the kiosk. Happy that there is a Maiko Cafe Matcha in Queens!

    Lychee Flavored
    Lonnie K.

    It's a great treat to have after your dinner. $10 per soft serve whether in a cone or cup. Creamy and delightful, I would definitely recommend this spot for ice cream. Great serving for one person or sharing between two people. It's inside the Tangram Mall. Accessible by the 7 train. Lots of seating all over the place if you wanna sit down to enjoy. Ambiance wise is very cute and instaworthy. Staff is always polite and pretty fast service too. Love their seasonal flavors from time to time like lychee + strawberry + mango. Tend to come here often by myself or sometimes with friends. Always taste fresh and not too sweet. Everything is 100/10 in my book.

    I'm so happy this is in queens!!! I only get to eat this in Ecuador and now it's here!…read more Pros: The ice cream was delicious. I usually try Ecuadorian places with my mom (who is pretty picky with Ecuadorian food). She had the peach cup. In her opinion it was more peaches than ice cream, she's not going to order it again . Despite that, she did enjoy it. The coconut ice cream she ordered complemented the peaches nicely and she enjoyed the whipped cream with the cheese topping. I ordered the Bogati cup and we both enjoyed it a lot! It had the perfect ice cream, whipped cream, cheese ratio. The space is small but well decorated. Cons: This place is really popular and there's only a staff of three. The line was out the door!! The wait was long to place the order and to get our ice cream. There are only about 6 tables and the space is cramped with the line. When the ice cream is ready a staff member calls out your name and hand delivers your order. (Whether you're in the store or waiting outside) I don't know that the staff was prepared for how popular this place would be. Hopefully they figure out how to make things more efficient. Despite all that, I'm definitely coming back.

    I would give zero stars if i could all because of the staff. The dark skinned girl named JOSELYN…read moreNOEMI was disgusting and sarcastic. She shut the door in our face and said it doesnt open until 12, meanwhile it was 11:59. she Then started talking bad and laughing with her coworker who was on social media. I was afraid that she would spit in my ice cream since she kept looking at me and laughing while preparing, so I decided to never come back, atleast until she's gone. Such a sad situation for a good business idea. She alone will make revenue drop.
