    Zehra A.

    Super long line everytime I pass by. But I finally got to try it. I ordered the banana matcha and it is a great combo. The banana cream was creamy and the crumb on top is the perfect topping for this drink. I'd definitely have it again but not worth standing in line for.

    I ordered the banana matcha latte and I'd say it was decent. Definitely on the sweeter side with a milder and less earthy matcha flavor relative to other iterations of this drink I've had elsewhere. The banana cream tasted fresh and the cookie crumbles on top were a nice touch. Overall, I think I was a bit underwhelmed with the lattes that were nothing to particularly write home about, but I would love to try their desserts! The line can get pretty long and there is no order ahead online option, but they churn out the orders pretty quickly.

    We love matcha!!!

    We are a matcha heaven whenever I visit Matcha Maiko. This was one of the first places I tried that served authentic matcha soft serve and lattes. I love their rotating flavors and get stoked to try them. So far, I'm a big fan of the Hojicha, Earl Grey, Ube, and Thai Tea. I do wish they had a system where you order ahead of time because the line can get long and it is an inconvenience. What I love is how their matcha is strong and can tell they use high-quality matcha powder. I love the grassy, earthy aftertaste and their smooth and creamy texture. This alone suits my palate perfectly. Otherwise, cute little kiosk if you are craving matcha because I love this spot so matcha!

    Black sesame and matcha tea
    Ruben A.

    Black sesame latte was really good. As expected, it's rich with a bold flavor but not too sweet. Wife is reporting the matcha tea to be a bit too sweet though. Staff is friendly, order was quick.

    So glad I came for their banana matcha! It was delicious. I liked the crumble and fresh banana touch on top. They don't ask for alternative milk preferences so I'd say make sure to speak up if that's needed! The matcha has a great flavor which is hard to come by sometime so I'd come back. It's located in the mall so many people pick up and go (service is quick) and there are a few small tables and chairs you can sit down if you want to take your time and enjoy

    Azuki sundae with black sesame
    Sho R.

    I stopped by on a weekday afternoon. I tried there 2 top favorites Boba sundae with matcha ice cream and Azuki sundae with black sesame. Both were really good. May be I liked black sesame ice cream slightly more than the matcha ice cream. Azuki sunda was a surprisingly good one.

    This stand inside Valleyfair mall always has a long line, but this time the line wasn't too bad and I decided to try some drinks. The line also surprisingly moved pretty fast. I started by the back near the signage and got to order within 10 minutes. There's a bright menu to view right next to the cashier with popular items marked. That was helpful because it was overwhelming with the number of choices. I ended up ordering the popular Black Sesame Latte and both Banana Lattes to try. The drinks came out within a few minutes. Not too long of a wait. The drinks were standard flavors but good. I don't think it's worth standing in the usual long lines, but still good.

    Ube ice cream
    Vibhuti V.

    Matcha cafe Maiko is an absolute must visit. This little gem inside the mall elevates what could have been just another dessert kiosk into a destination for matcha lovers and dessert aficionados alike. Ordered ube and matcha soft serve. The serve stood out for its rich, creamy, and balanced with signature subtle bitterness you want in matcha treat. Matcha when paired with vanilla was a brilliant gateway flavor if you are new to authentic matcha

    Matcha ice- cream
    Khai T.

    It was hella good. Amazing! The matcha flavor was so strong. I bet they used the good quality matcha powder. $7 for one, and it was absolutely worthy. Just one minus, the house made waffle cone had a slightly egg smell for me. Anyways, highly recommended;)

    Adzuki sundae black sesame ice cream
    Jen C.

    I came to the mall on Black Friday and the line for matcha maiko was very long. But, I love black sesame and saw they had the flavor available that day. The overall atmosphere at the mall was very chaotic and crowded as one could imagine. I ordered the adzuki sundae with black sesame ice cream. The black sesame was lighter in flavor than I was expecting, but it tasted great with the red bean. Overall, I had a positive experience and will be back for more black sesame!

    Arlo T.

    I'm rating this for my friend, because she always stops here every time we go. The lines get long, but the service and the speed is hella fast. They are hella efficient and actually keep the quality up. It's near the popmart store so it's kinda rough, but overall hella good.

    Strawberry sundae
    Richard L.

    Came here to try out their parfait since we have been looking for ones similar to ones we had in Kyoto and hadn't had much luck in finding good ones. This one is definitely a journey since it's in the mall and the parking here is such a cluster having to navigate into the mall parking itself and then fighting people for parking spots. Once you get here, it took us some time to find it since it was showing as being on the first floor but it's located on the second floor near Nordstroms. It's a stand so no real seating around, which also makes it a challenge. They have a rope up to guide people where to stand and it went relatively quick, about 10 min wait for 8 people ahead of us and then another 5-10 mins for the food to come out. Ordered the strawberry sundae and the Maiko special parfait. The sundae was alright, a bit sweet for our tastes but fits more the American pallet well. It sorta reminds me of the McD sundaes. For the Maiko parfait, you get a choice of Vanilla, Matcha, Vanilla/Matcha swirl, black sesame, (forgot the name but it's a rice flavored ice cream), and then a mix of the two. It was too bad that you couldn't mix black sesame with matcha or some other combination but I get that is just how the machines are setup. The parfait has a lot of ingredients and gives some nice textures and while it was pretty good, it still doesn't live up to what we had in Japan but I guess it will have to do until we can make it back!

    Matcha Vanilla Soft Serve
    Larixsa H.

    I tried the Vanilla Matcha Soft Serve at the Westfield Mall, and it was actually really good! It wasn't busy when I went which is probably because it was almost closing time, regardless the soft serve still tasted good! The matcha flavor was strong in a good way, and the ice cream was rich and creamy. They even added matcha powder on top, which was a nice touch. Overall, really solid ice cream for a soft serve!

    The kiosk!

    Do you guys currently serve the mango sticky rice soft serve?

    Hi! So sorry, but we are not serving the mango sticky rice soft serve.

    Can I bring my own container rather than using what's provided and used it for the ice cream?

    No.

    Do u have DoorDash or Uber?

    Hi Evelyn Unfortunately we do not have delivery at the moment. Please check back at a later date as we do plan on signing up with Doordash soon. Thank you!

I chose to do a DIY regular taco with s'mores ice cream, peanut butter dip, and oreo toppings. The flavors mixed so well together! None of it was overpowering the other, so you're able to enjoy each bite and not feel overloaded by the end. They freeze dry the taco as well so it doesn't melt right away once it hits your hands. This is the perfect place to grab a sweet treat on any occasion! BIG heads up though, it can get extremely busy especially on a weekend (was here on a Sunday evening). I think we went on a day where they might've been short a few people, but we did wait over an hour for our order. From my observations there is a process for the tacos. They have to mold the ice cream in, then keep it in the freezer for a few minutes for it to hold its shape, and customize it after. If you're willing to wait that long for ice cream then I'd say this place is definitely worth it.

After three attempts the place an order online (over the course of a week), with zero response, AND leaving a message on the catering voicemail, I went back to the website and found an email address for Lori. While she was responsive, it was a frustrating element while planning for an event. I even tried calling the store multiple times, which was never answered, and the voicemail suggests not to leave a message because it's rarely checked. (The store doesn't open until 5:45pm) There is no way to talk to a live person. While we ended up using the pickup option, I was surprised to be told that they do not sell or supply dry ice, even though it is listed on their website that it is used for deliveries. Everyone at my event loved the ice cream tacos, but I was disappointed that was such a hassle to set up.

Sorry, I forgot what they called it. They offered to heat it up a bit and I definitely recommend this. They did the perfect temperature for the perfect timing. Just enough to make the outside flaky and the inside warm and soft. The pieces that had cheeses were so much better warmed up. They definitely know what they're doing there. Seating was great. I'd love the decor. You can also order off of a menu, but we were too enamored with the actual pastries to even glance at it. I took photos but made sure to not take photos of the staff. I let the staff know that I wouldn't include their faces without their permission. they were very friendly and very appreciative.

This time I decided to stop by here after dinner, my first time sitting down here and ordering. The inside is very clean, modern, and Pinterest-like.

We got the sesame dark chocolate crepe cake. When you eat in the store, the owner provides you with free cups of tea, which are really great for washing down the cake. The chocolate was super rich, and they did not skimp out on the flavor - super chocolatey. The sesame added such a fun earthy and nutty flavor - I thoroughly enjoyed it! The cake is on the slightly denser side, so was super filling. While on the pricier side, the flavors are super unique and the craft that goes into crepe cakes is commendable.

The place was situated in a quiet plaza just outside of Lawrence Expressway. There's ample parking but it doesn't feel like the location is suitable for a cafe where you can picture sitting inside looking through some big windows facing a busy pedestrian walkway. However, once I stepped inside, I was surprised at how zen and peaceful the decorations were and how fitting it was for a cozy and quiet cafe hangout. The cake shelf was surprisingly busy. And this is where I took one star out because the lines were confusing and the staff skipped me to talk to the group behind me while I was clearly the next to be helped. Luckily another staff member came out from the back kitchen and jumped in to help. The staff spoke fluent mandarin. I was interested in their box cakes. A few of the yelpers raved about their soy milk cake and luckily they had one out for sampling. It was covered with lots of cream and the cake layer was soft and moist, but it was still slightly too sweet for me and I felt that it lacked the tofu kind of soy flavor. Then, I spotted on their menu that they have a black sesame matcha box cake, and black sesame is always my favorite, so I asked for it. They had the last one left! The staff said she had never tried it so she couldn't tell me if it is less sweet than the soy milk cake. Since it was the last one available and I already sampled the soy cake, I decided to give it a try. I am happy that I did. The cake was filled with matcha mousse and tasted light and aromatic with the jasmine kind of matcha flavor. It is definitely less sweet. Unfortunately, it doesn't have as much black sesame as I'd like. But overall, the cake flavor is the kind that I like, subtle, moist, and not too sweet. $38 for a box cake of 4x4 is a bit pricey, but I'm glad that I gave it a try. The cakes were freshly made and tasted best the same day of purchase. They also recommend refrigerating the cake and consuming it within a day or two.

Unfortunately, the first time we came to try the poke, they had already sold out. Lesson learned! On our second attempt, we arrived earlier and were able to order two poke bowls. The only issue was that the rice was still very hot, and by the time we got home, it had partially cooked the poke. Our third visit was perfect because we learned from our first two experiences. We came early again and asked if the poke could be packed separately since the rice was still warm. The employee was incredibly kind and even had me hover my hand over the rice to check the temperature. It was definitely still hot, so he happily packed the poke separately for us. I'm so glad he did because everything tasted great once we got home. The poke was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly saucy, which we loved. Comes with seaweed salad. While they don't offer many toppings and add-ons as a traditional poke shop, the quality and price make it an excellent value. It's actually perfect for my daughter since she prefers her poke without a lot of extras. We'll definitely keep coming back--not just for the mochi donuts, but for the poke bowls too!

Unfortunately, based on our experience, we don't think we'll be returning.
