    Large iced matcha with oat milk
    Pam Y.

    Came for the 1st time today to satisfy my matcha craving... I paid $10.94 for ONE iced matcha with oat milk!! so pricey! but oh SO DELICIOUS!!!! :D I think I'll definitely return, but only when I'm feeling generous with my wallet LOL

    I couldn't resist while I was at Atlantic Times Square in Monterey Park. I had to drop by Matcha Cafe Maiko. Free parking at the square. Come early to snatch a parking spot because they get super busy on the weekends. Cute cafe ice cream shop. Staff was friendly. What drew me in was the ube not so much the matcha. I was intrigued by the Maiko Special so I got it. It comes with a choice of up to two flavors. I chose matcha and ube. It also comes with matcha chiffon, chestnuts, and shiratama mochi. It's a small cup with lots in it. It looked like it was top heavy. Strangely enough, the toppings are at the bottom and the ice cream at the top. I had to eat all the ice cream first because I couldn't get to the toppings LOL. By the time I was done, all I had left were the toppings. They may want to reconsider its preparation method. Anyways, ube and matcha ice cream were smooth and delicious. I probably won't get the Maiko Special again as it was one pricey item at $12+ each. I will try their other ice cream items in the future though. Still worth a visit for matcha ice cream plus more.

    We are craving for matcha today and this is great place to go if you are around Monterey Park It is located at the Atlantic Square plaza and parking is easy in the structure They offered so many kinds of matcha drinks and desserts I had a hot hojicha latte and my friend has a hot matcha latte and we all chose 50% sugar level The drinks are delicious and I saw people ordering the ice cream float and it looked amazing They had really good service The vibe there is easy and chill

    ordered the matcha maiko parfait special. SO GOOD. this place might be my favorite matcha dessert spot in socal. the matcha is very strong and they don't skimp on the toppings. i also love how they have all different kinds of matcha desserts and a stamp card to redeem after 10 visits. will definitely be back

    5/19/26 Matcha for ate Net, generous serving

    5/18/26 After some really savory Chinese food, this spit is just a few doors down and perfect for dessert. Walked in either friends to check out their menu. I wanted soft serve. Staff are friendly and welcoming, attentive and kept the place tidy, clean & organized. The wonderful smell of fresh waffle cone wafted in the air-it was intoxicating. I got matcha & ube soft serve-- what a huge portion! I couldn't finish it. It was so good though! Not too sweet. Each flavor was distinctive and enjoyable. There's no restroom inside the shop but the plaza has public restrooms and dedicated parking, limit 4 hours, free. Would likely return if the mood strikes and if in the area

    Matcha latte float
    Selene S.

    We came back for their matcha latte float ($8.45). Sadly, they reduced the amount of soft serve more than 50%. The taste and quality is still good, very rich in matcha, but that was disappointing to say the least. Service was quick. It looks like only one person working the counter.

    Ambiance: it's a trendy desserts shop, hot and humid inside no air conditioning running for a very hot day, tables were dirty without being cleaned promptly Service: slow and careless, it took a while to place the order and their pick up was chaotic when there's people ordering similar items Food: their menu is specialized in matcha ice cream and drinks MAIKO SPECIAL - *** Soft Serve of Matcha and Vanilla, Chewy Mochi balls, chestnut, and sweet red bean, Matcha sponge cake, crispy corn flakes, and agar jelly soaked in kuromitsu syrup, average taste Soft-Serve Ice Cream - *** mix of ube and matcha Price: overpriced for the quality, not worth $25+ for two orders

    The first time I went to Matcha Cafe Maiko was several years ago in Honolulu, and their matcha was outstanding! So I'm really excited they opened one in east LA. It's definitely a great place to sit down and enjoy matcha, and they have an extensive list to order! Unfortunately, a few of their items don't taste good at all. I ordered a few unique and safe items and I realized their safe choices are the way to go I.e matcha latte and their matcha soft serves. The matcha lemonade was way too sour, and their special matcha dessert just overwhelmed the matcha itself and there were too many pieces that didn't feel like they belong and the matcha bread was overly dry. I'll definitely come back but just for the lattes and soft serves!

    Stopped by on Saturday, 05/30/26. This is my first time at this location (located at the Atlantic Times Square shopping plaza, across from Daiso). There is another location at Rowland Heights which I have been before. I ordered 1 matcha soft-serve which was $7.55 TAX = $0.79 OVERALL TOTAL = $8.34 So worth it - the portions were generously HUGE! I shared it with my mom and we were so full. Honestly this is good for 3 people. The matcha here is extremely authentic - one of the best in SoCal. 5/5! I want to try out everything!!!!!

    Maiko special
    Brittany P.

    The maiko special is huge and can be comfortably shared between 2-3 people. I was happy I could try both the matcha and ube and loved that there were a lot of toppings included (mochi ball, red bean, corn flakes). I was a bit disappointed by the ice cream since it was more icy than creamy. Also the ube tasted a lot more like taro ice cream instead of ube.

    Jose H.

    Massive amount of soft serve. Pretty to look at but not very flavorful. Stopped by after dinner with friends a ride the street and enjoyed the ice cream but did not find it to be the tastiest. Staff is friendly and helpful, and the space bright and modern. It is well priced at 8.00 for q large ube and matcha soft serve that is definitely meant to be shared.

    Hojicha Tea Float with matcha and taro soft serve
    Linda L.

    I got the Hojicha Tea Float and wow! For $8-9, you definitely get the value! This drink dessert is huge and can be shared. The height of the ice cream was almost the same heighy as the cup! I had to ask for an extra cup to hold it all! The quality of the matcha was great, very sweet and creamy. I also really enjoyed the hojicha too. This is in the Atlantic Times Square. There's a lot of seating and tables here for you to enjoy.

It's a small shop with a few tables, but luckily, we came at a time when it wasn't too crowded. We ordered the ube and matcha swirl as well as a taiyaki with cookie butter. The cashier was quick and friendly. Total came out to $9 which is pricey in my opinion, but I thought the taste would make up for it. Ube and matcha swirl: Honestly, the ice cream was just okay. I definitely could taste the ube flavor, but the matcha flavor was weak. Additionally, the ice cream was not creamy. It was slightly icey. Somisomi's ice cream is much creamier, so I was disappointed with With Love's quality. Taiyaki with cookie butter: I really liked their taiyaki! It was crispy and slightly sweet. The cookie butter was great, but I just wish there was more filling. I do think their taiyaki is better than Somisomi's! Overall, With Love was a nice place to try for the first time, but I don't think I'll be back. I still prefer Somisomi, especially since they are actually cheaper than With Love with better quality.

    Tea Brick! A small shop in SGV that's committed to their unique cup/bottle designs are quality tea…read more Interior design is pretty simple here, just red bricks all around and a self ordering kiosk which is always a plus for tea shops. While the shop is pretty small, it's more ideal for a grab and go type of shop rather than a hangout spot. Although they do have some small tables and bench seating. Free street parking + parking lot in the back, underground parking as well along with free Wi-Fi in the shop. Staff here is pretty mixed. While they're friendly, they seem a bit slow at times. They can take up to 10-15 minutes per order even if there's not much customers, not sure what the exact process is but sometimes they're fast but sometimes slow, could be just a off chance experience. Most pictures you see from Tea Brick are their amazing and unique bottle designs, which you can pay a tad bit extra to get the bottle with your drink rather than the standard cups. I'd say it's pretty worth it considering it's not too much of a expensive and it's definitely worth the social media posts. It's very cute and they have plenty of designs from time to time. As a dog owner, I love their designs. They can be reusable in a sense even though there's a hole for your straw that you can't seal yourself. As for the drinks, they're not the best but not the worse either. They can be refreshing at times especially on a warmer day. Overall, a decent experience, more of a experience to get their cute bottle cups rather than the drinks. Regardless, happy overall with their decent quality drinks and their amazing cup designs.

    Drinks were not my favorite - my friend & I got a couple of their fruit teas and they tasted quite…read moresyrupy/fake with some fruit chunks inside. BUT I would come back (and have) to get work done. Good amount of seating, WiFi, outlets, and food available makes it a good spot to study/get work done! Drinks come out pretty quick, ordering is mostly digital and they pop your order out of a little window. Unique!
