    Matcha latte with matcha ice  cream
    Leslie T.

    Super good matcha ice cream and drinks ! Quick service even though there was a lot of people ! The ambiance felt like some of the shops in Japan ! My friend loved the banana matcha.. I will get that one next time !

    Strawberry lychee sundae
    Lynda S.

    5/17/26 My son wanted Matcha Maiko so here we are! Grabbed my usual boba sundae! Quick and easy yummy dessert! Hot day today so it melted pretty fast! Service was on point and ambiance is as expected.

    Ube soft serve
    Cindy M.

    This is a must when in Sacramento. Besides a long list of drinks they serve ice cream. Strawberry Sundae - the sweet level hits right Ube Soft Serve - Delightful to the cone Staff is accommodating and helpful. Parking lot is very busy. Found a spot at the dentist office in the nearby lot. Benches inside were available to sit and talk while eating our dessert. Could be busy but crowds clear out quickly.

    I love Matcha in this place is a great place to go to for Matcha. We walked in and there was a worker at the front if we had questions there was a menu on the side of the wall or a kiosk to look at all the different items. The worker took our order quickly, and we had the Matcha with red bean and mochi. The little Matcha Café itself had beautiful paintings on the wall and was bright and vibrant. I really enjoyed my Matcha as it was a flavorful taste and didn't just taste like milk since it is a ice cream. I was worried that was possible. I would be back to try other items when we're not so full.

    My daughter has been begging me to bring her back here to get some matcha icecream. This place still hasn't disappointed me. The decorations are still simple and beautiful as ever. The staff are very welcoming. The desserts are delicious like they've always been. We'll be coming back when we want some matcha.

    Japanese desserts are so delicious and my favorite place to get some is at Matcha Cafe Maiko! I have tried many different items from them because almost everything they offer interests me. I love their soft serve and drinks because it's creamy, has the right amount of tea flavor, and it is not too sweet! The item prices can range between $5-$10 depending on what you order and any special add-ons. Service is quick and the employees are friendly. The store itself is small, with limited seating, and parking can be difficult because the lot is small and it is located in a plaza with many other popular stores. I like the art mural on the wall and coming here always gives me relaxing summer vibes. I recommend getting soft serve in a cup so that you can enjoy it at your own pace without having to worry that it will drip and make your hands sticky. You can also get a soft serve in a cone and request for it to be upside down! Their black sesame drink is my personal favorite and if I am feeling fancy I will also get a matcha latte and mix it together.

    Matcha adzuki sundae
    Catalina T.

    Came in on a Saturday night, all the benches were full of people so I figured it must be good. I got the matcha sundae with adzuki in a cup. The matcha was good, paired with the sweet adzuki (red bean) and a couple mochi balls it was decent. Not too sweet & not too bitter. If you plan on coming with friends (as I did) be mindful of the little space to sit. They had tables but they were laid up so no one could use them. Overall, good experience but wouldn't go outta my way to visit again.

    This location of Matcha Cafe Maiko does compare well to the other locations! My friend and I stopped by here on a weekday evening, and there were plenty of people who came by as we enjoyed our dessert within the cafe. I tried their vanilla and matcha soft serve. The matcha's deep and earthy flavor complemented the light and creamy vanilla, and the portion size was generous for a dessert. My friend got their Matcha Tea and commented on the strong taste that he loved of the matcha. Love this place and its numerous locations for a clean and refreshing dessert!

    Maiko special with matcha-vanilla swirl
    Mel J.

    Maiko special with matcha-vanilla swirl: very good! We could taste matcha flavor in the soft serve. The vanilla swirl gave a bit of sweetness to the ice cream. The crunchy corn flakes were perfect. The adzuki beans at the bottom were perfectly paired with matcha flavor. They gave a lot of jelly pieces but I only got 1 piece of chestnut and 2 pieces of mochi balls.

    Haven't been here in awhile over 3yrs. Thought I'd give it another try. Stopped in for a strawberry matcha. It was good. Stopped in around 3ish & it was busy. Staff were ok. There's benches to sit but not a lot of seating. No tables. Just order and leave to enjoy your drink. Not a place to really sit and hang out.

    Maiko Special
    Rachel M.

    Great menu options, great customer service, easy to find parking, and best of all, great matcha! Not sure if I would get the maiko special again because I didn't like everything (chestnut & the jelly stuff) but I was very pleased with the quality of my dessert & matcha very nice atmosphere as well

    My daughter was craving matcha ice cream so we decided to go here to try it out. Nice clean environment. Service was great. We got a matcha ice cream and two floats. They were delicious Definitely will go back and try out the rest of the flavors.

    Banana Matcha
    Alexandra G.

    My friend took me here on a Friday afternoon, and I'm so glad she shared one of her favorite matcha spots! She ordered her normal, matcha cheese foam. I got the banana matcha. Both drinks were absolutely delicious! You can really get the taste of the foam and the banana. It was so creamy and tasty. Not a place to sit down and drink though. They have benches to sit on while you wait for your order. But they have the chairs stacked on the tables, so it doesn't look very inviting.

    We do have gift cards; however, gift cards purchased at the Sacramento location only work at the Sacramento location and not other locations. Thank you.

    Do you have non dairy options?

    Yes we do! For our lattes, we can make your drink with almond, soy or oat milk. However, we don’t have a non-dairy alternative for our soft serve. Soft serve is made with dairy only. Thank you for checking with us.

    Do you sell your matcha powder in the store location?

    Yes we do :) $15 for 50grams

    Is the soft serve dairy based? Thanks!

    The soft serve is dairy based. It is made with whole milk!

    I feel like an idiot. I just ordered a drink with shiratama mochi (4 to be exact) for the first time. Do these mochi dissolve in the drink because I did not see any mochi in my drink?

    I don't think the mochi would've dissolved in the drink. The workers might've just forgotten to add them.

    When are you expected to reopen? It says February 28th; however, there are no updates on your IG. I'm just curious because I'm really looking forward to one being here! Thanks :)?

    It's open now!

" He was making small talk with her and he asked her if we were her family. She asked him which one he thought was her "PARENT." He replied that he thought I was her grandmother. I'm 54 years old and have a 30-year-old daughter and my niece is 25. I don't even know how that would be possible. I was right next to them sitting at a table with my brother so of course I heard, and I got up and I said what's up with this grandma stuff, and he said that he answered her question and told her that he thought I was her grandmother. Honestly, I felt completely insulted like you're not supposed to say things like that to your customers or even about your customers. I felt myself getting ready to go completely off on him, so I walked away and went to sit back down. He had the audacity to tell my niece some people can't handle the truth. It's so baffling to me that a manager would say something like that. I know employees sometimes say inappropriate things, but he should know better!! This was supposed to be a nice family outing and he ruined my night. Luckily I have confidence in myself and his comment didn't give me a complex or make me like I look old. It was also disappointing because I went in there specifically to get an eclair, which is normally a decent size. For some reason, it was the half of the size and the same price.

They have a great selection of Gunther's ice cream so you really can't go wrong with a flavor.

If I remember, they had lines out the door during that era. Now, it's still a quaint little shop and serves mainly ice cream and a few goodies. We went here after eating next door at Saigon Oi.

Like most other ice cream places, you can choose your flavors and toppings and eat it in a cup or cone. Customer service was great. The person serving us was really friendly and was great with my niece and nephew. The owner rung us up and was really friendly as well. I did not eat the ice cream, but the service and the way they looked makes me think it is decent ice cream. Great place overall and I may come back to try this if I go to Me's kitchen again.

Everything was fairly clean and there was plenty of bar seating as well as a few tables. I believe there were also tables outside.

Parking is a little bit hard to find, since you're mostly looking for street parking. Upon entering, the FroYo place had a nice interior that reminded me of a modern casual design with some contemporary elements that created a playful atmosphere. There were some high chair seatings to the right, and some lounge chairs to the left Unfortunately, by the time I came in, they were not allowing us to sample any of the 6 flavors which was a bummer (New York cheesecake, cappuccino, cable car chocolate, vanilla, pomegranate raspberry or euro tart). The flavors are pretty limited, so if you're looking for a place with a wider assortment of flavors, I might recommend somewhere else. However, the toppings bar was nicely stocked with a bunch of different things to choose from, which was one of its saving graces. Once you're done, you weigh your FroYo at the counter. I would've given a solid 4 stars to this place; however, while we were eating the FroYo, the man who was working decided to go into the back of his shop and listen to his shows rather loudly. I could hear the sounds from the shows over the music they were playing, so it made the ambiance a little awkward since I wasn't able to vibe to the music. Thus, creating a rather rambunctious atmosphere. Overall, I do think this place has some room for improvements, especially with their flavor profiles.
