Ordered the Maiko Special and it was okay. I really liked the soft serve, but did not like how dry the bottom was with the cake, cereal, red bean and jelly. If I go back I would only get the soft serve.

Place was small but had a huge outdoor seating area. The menu was pretty self explanatory and all had photos so it was easy to choose from. I got the matcha ice cream, and it looks exactly the ones advertised. The matcha was so creamy, thick, and tasty, not that sweet at all, really hit the spot on a hot day.

WOW. I accidentally stumbled upon this place while looking at the maps around the area. We tried the matcha latte with the soft serve on top, and no joke, it was life changing. I'd say this is the perfect sweet treat to share with another matcha-loving person. It was huge! The soft serve was amazingly soft and creamy, and the actual drink under it was so delicious as well. You could tell that they use high quality matcha here. If I could rate this place six stars, I would.

I ordered the banana cream matcha latte. It is banana flavored with Nilla wafer on top. I wanted to try it because banana cream matchas have been trending, and I was very intrigued. While I don’t LOVE banana taste, this matcha was enjoyable (especially with the wafers). If you don’t like bananas you probably won’t like this (obviously) but maybe you will!

Ladies were so kind!! I ordered the matcha float and they are very generous with the quantity of icecream. Matcha was super tasty and not too sweet or bitter.

The line moved quickly, and the staff was super nice. Just know what you want ahead of time and head straight to order,no need for attitude, and you’ll be good. I stayed inside the shop since they serve fast and only call your number twice. I got their #9 Kuromitsu Kinako Matcha. Honestly, I was a little sad because I couldn’t taste much matcha, the kinako (roasted soybean powder?) flavor was really strong and kinda overpowered everything else. That said, the color was spot on, and the shop itself is super cute. Worth a visit, especially if you’re into unique matcha combos!

Soft ice cream is very soft. Not freezing cold yet. Melted so quickly. Flavors are good. I like their matcha ube soft ice cream on waffle cone.
