The place is nice and small, so definitely plan out if you want to come with larger groups.I had an order egg sandwich and soft serve matcha ice cream, with cone. The egg sandwich was pretty standard, but I wouldve wanted it to be a little more sweet seasoning. The matcha ice cream was good, but be warned that you kind of have to like matcha to enjoy it. I like matcha tea, usually slightly sweetened, and it has a particular taste and bitterness. The ice cream wasnt really sweet at all, which I still enjoyed, but I can see others being thrown off by lack of sugar, so try a sample if you can. I have to try the other menu items when I return.
I went on an early Friday evening to avoid the crowd, in fact I went here before I even went to dinner.The staff was very friendly and attentive. I know this is the Matcha Cafe Maiko and I have only had matcha once or twice but I havent had black sesame soft serve before so I chose that.Business was just starting to pick up but it was a very short wait, as the staff was very efficient.I normally am a cup guy for my ice cream as it isnt as messy but this time I went with the cone. I immediately realized why I dont normally do cones as I sat down and attempted to take a photo. My ice cream promptly plopped onto the table. I immediately scoped it back into the cone but it was no longer photo worthy.The black sesame tasted like... sesame, who would have thought? Actually it was very good and would be my go to choice but I still have to try the ube and matcha flavors. The cone was very good as well. I now know of a new thing to try which is a cone, upside down in a cup. Best of both worlds, right? We’ll see.I will definitely be back not just for the soft serve, but to try a number of other things that caught my eye.
One of my favorite places to get matcha in town. Unlike a lot of places that will serve matcha they are actually using a decent grade unlike the bottom of the barrel quality that they use at a lot of boba places. They have a large selection of different matcha drinks and desserts. I always recommend an iced matcha and a matcha soft serve but if you want to switch it up my friend tends to get a nice matcha float with Hojicha soft serve. Even when busy this place will get you your order quick and the atmosphere is nice and relaxing.
My favorite go to for matcha! The staff is friendly and they use high quality ingredients in their drinks and ice cream.
Be careful, this thing is pricey and the ice cream scoop falls off the platform of shaved ice as you eat it. The plastic cup also falls over all together if you don’t hold it upright the entire time. So you may lose your $8 quickly. I luckily caught the whole thing in my hand and put it back together.
Matcha Cafe Maiko is a great premium matcha experience for both tourists and locals alike.The location provides the modern coffee shop vibe with comfortable seating, a stylish bar style table and relaxed atmosphere.For those smaller groups and people looking for a lunch break, Maiko offers charging ports, caffeine drinks, and filling sandwiches. Perfect for a quick stop or a nice date.Much more than 75% of the items are made in-house. Owner Hang has expressed his feelings in making sure that the customer participates in a fresh look into the flavorful premium matcha world, along with an appetizing sandwich and pleasant, warm customer experience.
The atmosphere in this place is so pleasant! I brought my wife and kids here for desert after eating dinner next door. The ice cream was incredible and my family really enjoyed the matcha.The thing that stood out the most was probably their manager. He was on-site supervising in a suit and without a beat went outside and started cleaning the windows. You know you’re in a successful and caring business when the manager is outside cleaning windows in a suit. We will be coming back for sure!
SO GOOD! This place serves matcha that is comparable to cafes that Ive visited in Tokyo. They have a Japanese/Hawaiian vibe inside and they are always so nice. During the height of COVID, they took every precaution and made me feel safe. I always get the Maiko Special, its green tea ice cream (or vanilla) topped with a chestnut and two mochi balls, underneath is green tea cake, sweet red beans, jelly cubes with syrup, and corn flakes. They pack all this deliciousness in a cup. I always stop by whenever Im in the area.
Best place to get matcha soft serve, plus other flavor but like the name indicated matcha it where it at.
On a road trip from Salt Lake City to LA and back, we stopped here as our big rest stop both times! The soft serve was the perfect treat and the matcha latte was an amazing pick-me-up for the rest of the drive. I appreciated that the latte was not too sweet by default; I did not have to request less sugar. The place itself was very clean, as well as the bathrooms. I love this place and would go often if it was nearby!
If you want match, they got more ways to drink it than Starbucks does coffee. I had the Matcha Float with Vanilla ice cream. Very tasty after a hot day driving around vegas.
The best place to get a quality taste of Matcha. They have the best playlist on repeat that brings me back to my home. The mix soft serve of matcha and vanilla is the perfect balance of sweetness. The soft serve literally has a piece of matcha cake at the bottom of the cone. You can personalize your item to your liking as well. The price is absolutely worth the quality and quantity. Our favorite is also a matcha frappe with twist soft serve of matcha and vanilla on the top. Plus don’t forget to grab a to-go matcha tub or side of little cakes.
This is a cute spot to grab some dessert if you are craving matcha. My gf and I tried the matcha soft serve special with a blend of matcha and vanilla, but we thought it was just okay. Next time maybe we will try the tea or cold drink. Regardless, its nice and bright and the staff are friendly - certainly an easy and cute place to come hang.
I had been to this Matcha Cafe Maiko once every few months, and as it turns out. The ice cream has gotten worst and worst each time I came back. My ice cream has so much ice and a little cream, and now even the taste has gone away with little flavor in my matcha ice cream. Maybe it is because of COVID, and the owner has to cut corners. I might give this place a try next year hope they fix the ice cream because if I want low-quality ice cream I would have got them at those Asian buffet places.
It looked cute and cozy inside, however we couldnt get a table because the place is tiny and only accommodates like 3 or 4 tables. Maybe another time. The staff absolutely ignored us, even when I tried to speak with them...
First time trying this place. I was very excited about the matcha and black sesame flavors. Had both in the shaved ice option. Hubby got the yuzu creme frappe. It was kind of just ok? The flavors weren’t as strong as I would have liked. Kind of one note and the soft serve itself wasn’t as creamy as I would have liked. A little bit disappointed. I’ll try it one more time and make up my mind about it.
Very chic low key place. Great vibes, food, and drinks! Definitely will be back. 💫🤞
Cafe Maiko is my new, favorite dessert spot. Theres green tea ice cream and then theres matcha ice cream - Cafe Maiko uses authentic matcha in their menu items and its easy to taste the difference. My wife and I always order the Matcha Shaved Ice. On a bed of matcha shaved ice, comes a serving of matcha soft serve with a side of adzuki beans, shiratama mochi, and kuri (chestnut). The adzuki is perfectly sweetened, the mochi is soft and chewy, and the kuri is just right; everything complements the other ingredients.*Side note: I owned two Cold Stone Creamery franchises and an independent homemade ice cream shop called Mixers Ice Cream Lounge in Las Vegas for 15 years. Im such a believer in Cafe Maikos product that Im looking to open a location. Unfortunately, only one owner per city so well be looking outside of Vegas.
If you are a lover of matcha and like matcha desserts, I would definitely come check this place out.
Great matcha! Probably the best in town! I come here a lot and order all sorts of stuff from parfaits to lattes. Totally recommend this place.I recently ordered a matcha latte through Uber eats from this place for my friend’s birthday and asked for a happy birthday or a label written out saying happy birthday. Matcha Maiko staff did exactly that and it came out so perfect! Thank you guys so much! My friend was so surprised and happy.
I have had matcha all over the place but this is the REAL DEAL. I didnt know what I was missing until I went to matcha maiko. This matcha is so strong and smooth tasting! I have more energy after drinking this matcha than coffee or Red Bull. I recommend the matcha green tea ice cream with the matcha green tea over it. I now compare every matcha I try to this place as it is the best.
Between matcha and Red Bull, Ill go matcha every time.This place helps me do that AND be happy with it. I like to hit this place on the way to one of the other restaurants nearby.Its really an ideal Starbucks replacement.
I sometimes crave this place. The Ice cream is so good and while the soft serv flavours are limited, the product is outstanding. The black sesame has a peanut butter like quality to it Which is very rich and satisfying and could be a good option for somebody with an actual peanut allergy. The matcha green tea flavour is so balanced and gives you that grassiness with a creamy sweetness that is downright craveable. Im unfamiliar with tofu flavoured ice cream and thats because its never been a part of my culture so I would hate to Say anything disparaging about it since I dont really have much to compare it to . For me I will just say that I didnt enjoy the flavour because it was a little too tangy and not what I was expecting
Great atmosphere and drinks! The matcha they serve really tastes authentic (Ive been to Japan so I know what authentic matcha tastes like). They offer a variety of matcha drinks and desserts and select sandwiches. They were out of the egg salad, which we were really hoping to try, but the tuna was pretty tasty.
Its great that this Cafe is here, but its kind of tucked away in Chinatown. They have the same Cafe in San Francisco Japan Town and its great here too!The hojicha latte float with matcha soft serve is really good. The hojicha tea flavor is not watered down what so ever and the soft serve had a nice tea flavor as well.The staff here is friendly and this place is very clean. Seems like a great place to hang out or even study as they offer free WiFi too.
This place is really good. We always found something to eat. One of the few places where you can find matcha soft serve. I always eat that or one of the cups with fruits and ice.You should come here whenever you feel like anything matcha. This is also an interesting strip mall with interesting food options!
Fantastic! My favorite is the matcha float with twist ice cream (sweet cream and matcha soft serve). Best quality matcha I have ever had. Their pints of ice cream to take home are Fantastic as well - I have had their matcha and black sesame (which has a delightful, smooth nutty flavor similar to peanut butter)
Had a great time stopping at Matcha cafe Maiko! The staff was super friendly and answered all of our questions on what everything was. The snow ice was delicious, though very large! We could have definitely shared it! The main community table has plugs and WiFi was available, so there is a very nice feel of just relaxing and enjoying an afternoon :)
Delicious match infused dessert served
The matcha flavor is very rich and not sugary, its perfect!
Theyre the only place in Las Vegas where you can get hojicha soft serve so its a little expensive but the staff is super friendly and the hojicha is worth it...
Honestly was never a fan of matcha until I had it from here its super delicious! Many ways to have it too! Their soft serve is the way to go. I love the Hawaiian decor and friendly staff always cheerful and postive!
Quality and worth the amount you paid for it and good customer service. They’ve got different variations on how you want to have matcha or green tea 🍵 Maiko special is one of my fave here in matcha cafe maiko. The bomb!!!! And every time I visit here can’t complain and glad they always maintain the cleanliness of the surroundings from their kitchen, dining area and restroom. Keep it up 👍👍👍
Clean, very good variety of drinks & soft serve ice cream
If you love Matcha then this is a place you should definitely try out. It has a lot of Matcha options and the one I tried is Matcha Float with half Vanilla and half Matcha. It was delicious.
Pure review: Atmosphere 4/4, Food 4/4, Service 4/4, Price 3/4. The menu is freaking confusing. Too many options. I just get some soft serve Matcha in a cup with some red beans and call it a day. Enjoy!
I love the green tea soft serve ice cream at this place. I usually don’t like soft serve since it has a low fat content, but this one is just light and refreshing and has a pleasant milky base. The green tea flavor is complex and slightly bitter. I love desserts that aren’t too sweet and this soft serve is all of that. My only gripe is a cup of this stuff costs 6$, which I think is unreasonably expensive. I will update if I try anything else here.
Good place to stop by
Might be an average (3.5?) green tea shop youd find in supermarkets. That is, if youre in Tokyo. Here in US? As good as it gets, this side of the pond.Tips: ask for half sweet or quarter when applicable. Savor the matcha. 4.5, maybe 5 stars (quite dependent on who makes your drink.)
Their matcha is so delicious. The place is beautiful and it smells great. Prices are great as well.
I usually don’t go for pricey coffee/tea drinks (prefer drip, travel with my own tea bags’ and steal hot water). The Hojicha (toasted green tea) was not too pricey and something different. The treats here are reasonably priced too and offer something different!
Matcha Cafe Maiko always has a consistently awesome flavor. Ive tried about 5 of their different variations (plenty more to go) and they have all been great. I would recommend this place to anyone. The atmosphere is good too! The service is always pretty fast and more importantly the people have always been cheerful and nice!
Great experience, a must try. Its not sweet like ice cream. Way different. I liked it. I was wondering about the nutrition info. I didnt see any at the store or website. But I did notice that I didnt have a sugar crash after.
We stopped by on a hot sunny day and it was a wonderful treat.The Matcha is of high quality and very smooth.We tried the Maiko special - an assortment of dessert (green tea cake, red bean, jelly and corn flakes) topped with your choice of soft serve (matcha green tea or vanilla). This was an absolute treat.Also shared a Maiko cheese cup which was a latte with cheese in the froth. The flavours are well balanced and the quality of the green tea definitely comes through.The waffle cones are baked daily on sight and are very tasty.The staff is great - very friendly and helped explain the menu to us and even gave our little one a mini cone so she wouldnt have to share with mommy and daddy!Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!
Clean, nice and really good beverages and ice cream! Highly recommended!
First time trying out this place. I must say I love it💖. Not to mention their customer service is amazing the ladies there were very friendly, nice and knowledgeable about the drinks. Thank you and I will definitely recommend this place if you like matcha🙂. Ill see guys soon.
Best Matcha tea ever! First time Ive tried their Matcha tea in San Francisco and was surprised that they have a store in Las Vegas. Now I know where to get the best cup of tea.
Definitely pricey. Most of the options are not for the faint of heart so not a great choice if you arent familiar with matcha. I happen to love it, and they may have the best waffle cone in the city. Try it out!!
The match tastes just like the one I had in Japan. The worker was so patient and explained what was the difference between some of the items. She even broke down the different layers of goodness.
Been here a few times already and every time has been great. Fave so far is the matcha swirl on a cone. The swirl is a nice balance, otherwise the straight matcha is kind of too overpowering in my opinion. The cone is also really good. Crispy but also soft at the same time if thats even possible. Not too sweet and doesnt have an overpowering flavor over the swirl. The mochi is also really good. Always soft.
The best Matcha icecream Ive had. Very nice. My family loves coming here.
We kinda spotted this shop while at a stop light and said, let’s go! Definitely worth the purchase, and the specials on Wednesday make it even more price efficient. Not a huge fan of matcha when I arrived but these guys and gals definitely changed my mind before I left! Thank you for the wonderful customer service ❤️
The matcha floats are so delicious!
Love it .nice clean
This place has the worst customer service I have experienced. They are rude and incompetent when you ask them questions. Don’t eat here. It is not worth the price.
