    I love this place. My favorite thing is Halo Halo but this time I tried Jackfruit Ice Cream and it was so tasty and not too sweet. The decoration here is also very cute. They can have a long line so be prepared. The service is nice.

    This lace serves One of my favorite desserts is Halo-Halo and this is the first place locally I have found that serves it. Halo-Halo is a Philippines shaved ice dessert usually made with coconut milk, Ube halaya (purple yam jam), Nata de coco (coconut gel), and sweetened fruits and beans. I really like Jackfruit mixed in. Halo-Halo translates to Mix-Mix in Tagalog. The service is from the ice-cream counter with a tropical theme.

    I love coming here for a sweet treat! I had dined next door at Mamak and walked right over to enjoy some ice cream dessert! Sampaguita is known to be very busy (which is amazing) but I was lucky to only wait maybe 5 minutes to order. While waiting I loved looking at the merch up front. The shirt design is beautiful. I was surprised to also see cookie options too! The interior is lovely. The design is so airy and pretty. My ice cream was great! I ordered a flavor that had pineapple in it and got the pineapple caramel sauce on top! It is so flavorful and creamy. Great all around dessert. My boyfriend ordered a strawberry shake and loved it. He finished it within a few minutes. We grabbed a table about halfway down the hallway. We sat forawhile and was able to chat and enjoy our desserts. We had a great afternoon visiting here.

    Decided we needed a little dessert after lunch... After all the ice cream I've tried in Orlando, this has to be my new favorite!!! I tried the soy sauce butterscotch and it was incredible!!!!! I also tried a cheesecake guava flavor, also amazing! Ended up getting both in a waffle cone. The staff here are just SO friendly and awesome! The decor inside is also really nice and gives me such relaxed vibes. 100% I'll be back!!!

    Okay so let's start off with the good - very cool place, great addition to Orlando. Love the decor, worker was nice and let us sample, ice cream was delicious! Now the reason for the -1 star. First, its mills and the parking on a Tuesday was rough. This is a general issue, not specific to them but we had to drive around the lot for 10 minutes, then we decided to leave and look elsewhere ended up having to walk a decent amount. It was frustrating and inconvenient if you're meeting with others. Second, I'm kind of confused as to why if someone is ordering a normal scoop or soft serve we have to get a number and wait, I've never seen an ice cream place do that. I totally understand for speciality items but was a little surprised for ours - the place was packed so a lot of people were standing around waiting with their numbers. Overall it hit the spot and in my opinion was worth the hype; just make sure you're not in a rush!

    I keep hearing about this place so I went to ck it out. I ordered halo-halo with ube ice cream. I was a little disappointed once I tasted it. The ice cream didn't taste ube as I was hoping for and the ingredients (sahog) are not the traditional ingredients I was used to. Overall, the halo-halo wasn't too bad. Their selections ice cream, on the other hand, were pretty good.

    YUM. I wanted something sweet to end the day and stopped by. We got lucky and got parking right up front. Each person gets to try 4 flavors and lemme tell ya - I had a hard time deciding. They were SO good. I settled on the Buko Pandan with coconut flakes and totally recommend. Delicious. I will be coming back.

    Even on a Wednesday Sampaguita Was packed. While it's off of Colonial, there is a parking lot in the back of the plaza. Despite there being a parking lot, we weren't able to find parking and we had to park on the street. For the middle of the week, I was surprised that there was a line out the door. It took about 15 minutes before we were serviced, but the staff behind the counter was working hard. Sampaguita has unique flavors, such as Ube. They were very accommodating and they let us try a bunch of different flavors. I was surprised because every flavor that I tried wasn't too sweet like ice cream typically is. My friend and I ordered the Ube brownie with Ube whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. It was good but also not too sweet. Personally I think the ice cream actually wasn't sweet enough. With the hype that Sampaguita gets, I was expecting to be blown out of the water, but it was a little underwhelming. I think there's better ice cream in Orlando. The dining room is really cute and there's actually a lot of tables. It's very comfortable to sit there and hang out with friends.

    I've been wanting to try Sampaguita for the longest time! And finally getting around to it - it didn't disappoint. You can probably guarantee this place will always be busy (and for good reason). Even with a line to the door, the service was very quick. There is a lot of seating even towards the back of the shop and loved the ambiance. They're very on brand throughout the entire place. I ordered the birthday mamon in a cone and I loved it! They also had a ton of other unique flavors and sundae options. I definitely will be returning!

    Love this gourmet ice cream place near downtown Orlando. Serving Filipino inspired flavored ice cream. They let you taste it with small sample. Then you order at the end of the counter on what you want. If undecided- advised to do the 5 flight sampler. Our favorite is the ube cookie and cream. You can also get halo halo - a Filipino treat. They also serve pastries and cookies. If you are a local, sign up for their reward program. They also do ice cream cakes.

    $11 Flight Sampler

    Craving exotic ice cream this day. Opted for the mini cone flight. These are 5 mini cones with 1 scoop of any flavors (5) you choose. $11 I chose the Sampaguita, Ube cookie and cream, Buko pandan, Mango peach pie, Champorado. My favorite is still the Sampaguita. It has a very unique taste. Staff here are nice and helpful. The merch here are cute but quite pricey especially clothing. I love the cartoon pinay mascot.

    Service was very kind and accommodating to let us taste all the flavors and give us some ice for a long trip. All the flavors were great with a delightful texture.

    The Ube Soft Cream Swirl is my latest obsession right now. I didn't discover it until recently and now that's all I want. Just writing this is making me want to go there and get it. IT IS SO GOOD! Though the line can get long, I have to say the staff does a great job of moving through it quickly, especially when you consider customers wanting to taste the different flavors and all that. I love the decor and aesthetic of this place. Seating is incredibly limited.

    Finally got the chance to try Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko, and what a delight it was!!…read more Upon arrival, there was a bit of a line, but thankfully it moved pretty quickly. My order came out quickly. I got their matcha latte with ube foam, and it was a dream in a cup. In comparison to some other places I've gotten matcha from, Cafe Maiko is definitely a top contender. The overall decor is trendy and very clean. They have a cute circular chair that's IG/social media-worthy for a cute photo op. It is quaint inside, with a decent amount of seating. There's some bench seating up front as well, and I believe there is also a bench for seating just outside. Thankfully, I was getting my order to go, as the day and time I arrived, there was no seating readily available. Beyond that, it is a very cute cafe. The parking situation is FOREVER a challenge in the Mills District area, so just be cognizant of that. Pricing was very reasonable. The staff was so kind and helpful (if you had any questions). All in all, for my first experience, I truly enjoyed every bit of it.

    Matcha Cafe Maiko is a specialty matcha café focused entirely around Japanese-style matcha desserts…read moreand drinks. We walked into a cute and welcoming space with a menu built around showcasing matcha in different forms rather than treating it as just another flavor option. The atmosphere is cozy and fits the theme well, though seating is limited and it can get crowded during busy times, making it better suited for a quick dessert stop or grabbing a drink to enjoy nearby rather than settling in for a long visit. The main reason to visit is the matcha soft serve and dessert selection. The matcha flavor is noticeably rich and earthy, with a stronger tea profile compared to many sweeter matcha desserts. The soft serve has a smooth, creamy texture and works especially well in combinations like matcha shaved ice, floats, or parfait-style creations. The matcha shaved ice stands out with layers of shaved ice, matcha soft serve, red bean, mochi, and Japanese chestnuts, creating a dessert that has different textures in every bite. The combination of the creamy soft serve with the chewy mochi and the slight bitterness of the matcha creates a balanced dessert that does not rely solely on sugar for flavor. The drink menu gives plenty of ways to experience matcha, from hot and iced matcha drinks to floats and specialty creations. Options like matcha with ube, matcha lattes with foam, and hojicha drinks add variety for anyone who wants something beyond traditional matcha. The café also offers coffee options, which makes it easier for groups with different preferences to find something they enjoy. The matcha lattes are well balanced, with the earthy notes of the tea coming through clearly without being masked by milk or sweetness. Beyond matcha, the menu includes other Japanese-inspired desserts like taiyaki, mochi-based items, and seasonal offerings. The combination of traditional flavors and playful presentations makes the café feel like a dessert destination rather than just a drink shop. The desserts are also visually appealing, with the kind of presentation that makes them worth taking a photo before digging in. The taiyaki are crisp on the outside and filled with a sweet red bean paste that contrasts nicely with the cold soft serve. Service is friendly and helps keep the experience smooth even when the café is busy. The staff are knowledgeable about the menu and make it easy to choose between the many matcha options, offering clear descriptions of the flavor profiles and texture differences between the soft serve, shaved ice, and latte options. Because the café has a strong focus on quality matcha and specialty desserts, it can get popular during peak hours, so visiting outside the busiest times may make it easier to find seating and take your time with the menu. Matcha Cafe Maiko is a great spot for anyone who enjoys matcha or wants to try Japanese-style matcha desserts. The combination of rich matcha flavor, creative menu options, and a cozy café atmosphere makes it stand out from typical dessert shops. It feels like a place worth visiting when you want a matcha experience that goes beyond a basic latte, offering a dessert that feels both authentic and indulgent without being overly sweet.

This second time was a much better experience! Walking in, we were greeted by a worker there. There are tablets that take your order when you walk in. It's pretty self explanatory for ordering. I noticed the prices had gone down since the last time I went there and they were about $8 and some change per cone which I felt was fair. We waited a few minutes and our cones were ready. There were two tables inside but seating outside too, which we decided to hang. The cone is a donut like pastry that had Nutella on the inside. The cone was filled and then a lot more overflowing. Now the caramel was dripping down making such a mess but I didn't mind it, it added to the experience of such an elaborate desert. Make sure you have plenty of napkins on hand! I'm glad we sat outside because my cone was just dripping all over the place. I was trying to keep up with eating it so it wouldn't be so messy. I think it was a me problem because my friend that I was with wasn't nearly as messy as mine! There were trash cans outside so I can to go back inside to throw out the napkins and my cup. The lady who worked there thanked us again for coming in and said bye Overall a great experience. Again, I think it was a me problem with being so messy eating it so I won't take away a star for that!

The matcha cream-filled waffle is always made fresh in-house for you. It is served warm and is just happiness in a little handheld pastry. Now, upon my most recent return, I learned they have a few rotational items on their menu as well as soft-serve ice cream options. While I did not get to try any of their newer items, I made a mental note to indulge in their pistachio soft-serve ice cream on my next visit. It truly made me happy to see how much bigger their menu has grown - which is always a GREAT sign. Since the shop itself is more of a order and go set-up, seating is located directly outside of the shop.
