    We were walking through Chinatown on our way to get food when we passed Café MAIKO, and it was impossible to resist! As someone who loves matcha ice cream, I had to stop in...and I'm so glad I did. The matcha is clearly high quality, and I loved all the different ways they incorporate it into their desserts. I ordered the matcha affogato over matcha soft serve, and it was absolutely delicious. My cousins got the mango sticky rice ice cream cup, and wow... the flavors were amazing! Everything tasted fresh, rich, and perfectly balanced. If you're a matcha lover, this spot is a must visit in Chinatown. I already can't wait to come back and try more of their menu. Highly recommend!

    Matcha tea float was delicious although pretty expensive. Zero sugar matcha tea in combination with the soft serve wasn't too sweet and was very yummy. The soft serve was also a nice texture. Overall very high quality and enjoyable.

    This time I had the Matcha drink with green tea soft serve on top! A great treat for a hot summer day! The only thing is it has a lot of ice which after eating the ice cream and sipping the matcha drink I had to throw a lot of ice but had to cleans them first because the ice was covered with matcha tea float. I also like their matcha tea I use for my breakfast. Next time I would like to try their store by Rockefeller Center! I just found out today! It's in midtown!

    Strawberry Matcha Latte

    Conveniently located next to Kyuramen, I stopped by for dessert right after lunch. It's a tiny spot and one kiosk to place your order. Staff was welcoming and friendly. They get a lot of online orders so even though I was one of the early birds around noon, there is still a tiny wait. Not bad because the drinks came out quickly and delicious. I love their matcha here and the matcha strawberry latte was perfect.

    Came for the mango sticky rice sundae special and it was amazing! I loved the mango soft serve, and it was topped with fresh mango, sticky rice and coconut cream. Everything complimented each other well and it was a great dessert. We also tried the mango cheesecake which was ok. It didn't have as prominent of a mango flavor. It's a cute spot, but small.

    Banana Pudding Matcha Latte
    Tara L.

    I had my eye on Matcha Cafe Maiko for a few months now and my focus was to get my hands on a banana pudding matcha latte. During my last trip to NYC a few weeks ago, I made the mistake of trying to go to the location near Rockefeller Center. It was a day or two after Thanksgiving, so the streets were so packed you could hardly walk so I had to abort mission. So this time, I made sure to go to this location! It's a tight space inside just enough to fit a handful of people at once. But you can easily order at the kiosk and things move fairly quickly if there are only a few folks ahead of you. I ordered my matcha with 50% sweetness in anticipation that the banana pudding would be too sweet, but honestly it was pretty balanced. And I didn't find the banana pudding too sweet at all. It ended up being a very creamy drink which makes total sense based on the dessert topping, but probably a little thicker in cream overall than what I normally would love. But the drink was tasty and more or less what you'd expect it to taste like. This is a super cute shop though with a fun menu full of creative items, so definitely looking to explore some other drinks or soft serve in the future.

    I got the ube matcha which is one of my favorites it actually taste like ube and the matcha taste good the strawberry shaved ice wasn't good it didnt taste like anything so I actually had to toss it out. The shop is very small I think there was 2 seats inside and two tables outside.

    Lucky Milk Matcha Latte Strawberry Lucky Milk Latte Lucky Milk Soft Serve
    Austin L.

    For February 2026, there is a new soft serve flavor with Lucky Milk and two new drink options! The Lucky Milk Matcha Latte adds a different kind of sweetness than a regular matcha latte and the Strawberry Lucky Milk Latte is a creamy rich strawberry milk. These are only available for a limited time at all Matcha Cafe Maiko locations! Each drink comes with a uniquely designed lucky milk cup sleeve

    Service: 4/5 Food: 3.2/5 Price: $7-10 Came for their 3rd Anniversary BOGO deal. First time at this location + trying their matcha, previously I've only ever had their soft serve. This location is smaller than I expected. It's literally an alcove + shares a door with a Kyuramen. They make the most with the space though, inside is a counter + one 2-top table. What I Ordered: - strawberry matcha latte (hot): 25% is perfect sweetness for me, just enough to taste the strawberry without being too sweet, leaves a weird film in my mouth - matcha tea (hot): needs a little sweetness, 0% ends up bitter

There are different types of cold treats: gelatos and more slushie like consistency frozen confections that are served in a cup. My vegan friend appreciated that he could choose from multiple vegan flavors, not just be limited to the one and only offering, which is what most places usually have. Melon flavor was incredible. Tasted like frozen melon was crushed with ice and chopped into an ice/smoothie blend. Super refreshing. Very sweet, though. All flavors are very sweet, so a small portion can be shared and you will feel satisfied. I personally enjoyed their in-house special flavor of gelato: honey cream with crushed almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts. That was bombastic! Love how nutty the consistency was. I love nuts, so this almost reminded me of a chunky peanut butter situation: just more fine grained and smooth, with gelato being the base. Highly recommend trying this flavor! Focacia was okay. A bit too dry and bland for my liking, but still decent. My favorite item was the pistachio bombolone which is officially now my favorite dessert. This was magnificent! The yeasty dough was so light and airy--perfectly light and balanced. The filling of pistachio cream was very delicate and not sweet at all, which was such a nice surprise. I do not like saccharine dessert. The fresh raspberry jam was a perfect balance to the pistachio cream. I never like jams in my desserts, but this was a perfect complement. Woooow, what a treat! Can't wait to return for it and to try more of their other flavors--hazelnut & chocolate, coconut, white chocolate, tiramisu. You could taste the superb quality of the ingredients. Highly recommend.

Upon arrival we noticed the difference in crowds. Not as busy and packed sidewalks. Also it was a lot cleaner than Chinatown. Since we just ate at C-Town, it was time to find a good dessert place in K-Town. So we walked and we walked until I saw a banner sign showing shaved ice desserts. Then I noticed the name of the business is Grace Street. How fitting, because that is my wife's name. So we went in and what caught my eye was a mango shaved ice with mangoes, mochi, strawberries, and condensed milk, however I was over ruled by my wife and we went with the black sesame and mochi and condensed milk. It also had red bean, but that had to be on the side, since that gives me gout. Such nice staff taking orders and we went into the dining area to find a seat. What a large spacious area with many tables. Our order came out and it looked so good. The black sesame shaved ice or snow as it's also referred to as, was perfectly sweetened by the condensed milk and the chewy mochi. Definitely cleaned my pallet from our Chinese lunch and it helped cool me down from the New York heat. We got water, but there was no ice offered, so I asked one of the workers and he was kind enough to get me some. We are through that dessert like, if we didn't finish it fast, it was going to melt. We did not give it a chance to melt one bit. The staff here are efficient, as they saw we were done, they asked to clear our dessert bowl away. It was a nice experience even if it was just dessert. They definitely had more dessert options to offer, but i

Don't remember what I had the previous 20+ years I went there after a group dinner. This time I was influenced & specifically took a bus over for their corn ice cream. It's STILL the summer of corn. Prices are now average - good for a scoop $7.50 & the portion is good compared to other craft ice cream shops in LES. The corn flavor was good. Medium flavor with that corn sweetness. The quality of the ice cream was excellent, medium creamy & very smooth with the teeniest bit of corn blended. Sampled the hazelnut which was great also - like a thick gelato. Would like to try the lychee next time. They have probably 20 different flavors, displayed well. The staff is patient & very nice. The space is very big for a business in the East Village with mostly a waiting area. 4-5 seats are up front & they set up a few plastic chairs on the side. On a 90°F day, the shop was filled with customers & groups. A stantion at the door with directions for 2 lines would help manage things better.
