Lots of sweets, teas, ice creams, cookies and more. A lot of stuff was squid game themed and they even sell the sugar cookies with the shapes from the show. The matcha soft serve was really good. Cool decor and chill space.

I went with my friend because we heard the place was great but I was sort of disappointed. The drinks were great but were a bit overpriced. I ordered the raindrop cake and it was received in a container, not as fancy as they had shown it to be, but it was fine no big deal. The raindrop cake tasted like nothing but that’s what the syrup was for. I tried the syrup but I felt like the syrup was just pancake syrup, wasn’t that good. I also ordered the sesame seed latte, that was great! The place was pretty small but cute! The bad thing was just the atmosphere the cashier gives. She didn’t even greet us and she looked at us annoyed because my friend couldn’t decide what she wanted. She looked like she just wanted to our order and leave. She just gave an aggressive vibe. Next time she can perhaps greet customers with a smile, not look annoyed, speak nicely and ask people if they want their receipts. I won’t be coming back for sure.

I have been here 3 times and Everytime it has been DELICIOUS!!I first got the Ube float, then I tried the Thai Tea Golden Shogun soft-serve cone. I really wish both of these flavors were available year round and I really wish they had them available at both stores. They are my favorites!!!The 3rd time, I got a slice of Ive cake and a matcha chocolate chip cookie. Omggggg they melted in my mouth! 😍

I love this place! They have smooth, sweet matcha. They also serve desserts, snack food and they seasonal items. This is a cute shop to visit and try if you like matcha. I will be back soon to use my points on a bag of matcha powder. Im going to try the ice cream as well.

Enjoyed soft serve in a cone with the red bean toppings and it was pretty good. At first I thought they put little toppings but I could find more inside of the cone. They did put enough toppings! It was quite filling too. My friend had a vanilla soft serve with oreo toppings and he liked it too.

I tried Matcha Maiko in Seattle once and loved it so so much. However, I tried the same thing here at Duluth and it didn’t quite meet my expectation.. Although everything looks almost exactly the same (even the texture of the soft serve), the matcha taste was just not as strong as the one I had it Seattle.. The staffs here are nice and friendly, this place surely has more things on their menus compared to the one in WA (matcha crepe cakes, ice cream pints, food and snacks, etc).

We went on a Saturday evening, and they werent busy luckily! Walked in with the smell of freshly baked ice cream cone. We decided to try their soft serves, one matcha/vanilla on a cone and one durian in a cup. Both options were delicious and satisfying. Service was friendly, but it took a few minutes before we were helped. We noticed later that they have a bell to grab the staffs attention. Theyre serving durian flavored soft serve until 8/12!

I came out of town to Atlanta for a dental appointment and decided while I was there to have something fun and interesting to eat. I never had Japanese style ice cream before, so I wanted to give this place a try.They had a lot of different choices on the menu, and I had a little issue finding where the flavors were listed. One of the girls that worked there kindly explained their offerings and showed me the list. I asked for the ube and matcha green tea, and I was given a generous portion of both. The service was quick and very friendly.I returned to my car excited to try the exotic flavors. I tried the green tea first and was pleasantly surprised by its complexity. I next tried the ube, and I found that it, while milder tasting than the green tea, was also very good. You could taste more of the base of the soft serve; it had the unmistakable classic soft serve vanilla flavor in the background that every American knows.Overall, it was a great experience, and I recommend it to anyone who loves soft serve and ice cream.

Ive been here recently and I gotta say its a great place to hang out with friends. Their crepe tasted very good and if I were you I would definitely give it a second, third, or a million more points for its taste.The atmosphere is cozy. The space is not that big but they have plenty of tables for such a small space so it gives you a sense of coziness. Definitely gonna come back with friend and try other items on their menu. 5 stars ❤️.

I found this lovely cafe on accident during a previous Georgia trip and cannot be happier that I stumbled across it. The inside is still closed due to Covid, but I can imagine it was a wonderful little place to sit and snack. The staff is always patient and friendly and the snacks spot on. The Matcha Ice Cream and Matcha Hot Tea are not very sweet and have a noticable matcha flavor. The Dango and Takoyaki are soft and savory with a hint of sweet. The Raindrop Cake is very similar to jello with a nice subtle sweetness and peanut flavor. The Taiyaki is my personal favorite - a warm, fluffy pastry with sweet red bean paste (similar to a mild chocolate flavor) filling. Perfect to snack on during these chilly days! Its always a go-to spot each time I pass through or visit Georgia and will definitely continue to be.

The register is at the front door. You can order via mobile with a QR code or ring the bell. Their menu is very extensive and the prices are decent. I got the Maiko Special.

Review №18

Bigger behind counter space than original location, which means they can fit more soft serve machines (and offer black sesame/ hojicha swirl which is only available at this one). Same amazing premium quality by my favorite brand/mini chain for all things matcha / hojicha in Atlanta. Same loyalty program and I got a free matcha chocolate cookie on my last visit! Parking is also easier at this one as its part of a larger strip mall and there are plenty of spots right in front of the shop.

Ordered the shogun thought there would be more gold on it but was less then the photo on the menu showed. Got the matcha latte with green tea icecream would recommend the green tea/Vanilla since it’s to much green tea at once 😅

Cafe Maiko took over where Lattea used to be, the shop was super cozy anD nice decor. I’ve been here three times already and I was impressed every single time. Everyone that works here are very knowledgeable with the menu and super friendly with us. I always get the Maiko Special and hubby likes their soft served ice cream. Recommend this place!!!!!

It’s good, but not sure if it was worth the wait. Took almost 30min to place an order and to get the dessert. There was maybe 5 people in front of me and about 7 people who had already ordered. On top of that the ice cream stopped at the top of the cup and not at the lid.

They closed off and set up a register at the entrance. There’s two benches outside if you want to sit outside. I got the black sesame in a cup with no toppings. It was pretty good. Very creamy and you can really taste the sesame. Pricey imo. Their service is quick.

Our favorite softserve ice cream place in/around Atlanta. The staple flavors are Matcha, and Vanilla, with Hojicha, with the newly added Ube as regulars. Other flavors rotate in and out on a bi-weekly basis including Black Sesame, Pumpkin Pie, Horchata, Jasmine Taro and many more. Always make sure to ask what special flavor is being served when you go.

Love the selection of soft serve ice cream here. Their UBE is my personal favorite but I also got a chance to try their taro jasmine, wintermelon, and they always offer seasonal flavors so be on the lookout! So glad they have 2 locations in metro ATL

Compared to the one in Buford, this location needs improvement in terms of quantity given. Normally, I order the float at Buford. When duluth location was built, I gave it a shot AMD was SO disappointed in the portion of ice cream they gave me on top of my drink. It was so SMALL compared to Buford location.

Love their products and did not like the other location so I traveled here for Green Tea Mille Crepe and the Matcha Soft Serve but the service was just as bad as the Doraville location. I really wish this was not true but so disappointing. The girl working the front was very unfriendly even when I had to initiate the first “Hi, how are you?” I can not justify paying for TERRIBLE service.

Absolutely amazing cafe!!!!! I stopped to try their soft serve and I absolutely loved their ube and white rabbit swirl. My Mother tried the matcha and vanilla swirl and really enjoyed how strong the green tea flavor is inside the ice cream! Their waffle cones are light and crispy, the ice cream so flavorful and pretty, and the service is great! The inside is currently closed but the service counter at the door unbelievably convenient and is very Covid-19 safe. Cant wait to come back and to try other seasonal flavors!!!

Great matcha place. The flavor is more stronger than other cafes that serve matcha latte, but I personally like the stronger taste. The Duluth location seems more organized than the one at Doraville. The employees were friendly, and the Matcha Latte float was good. Would visit again for sure.

Such a great and unique place to get dessert! Certainly more fun pre-COVID when you could sit down inside, but glad to support them and happy they are still open. I usually go for the matcha latte float. The soft serve matcha on a freshly baked waffle cone is equally amazing!

Review №76

Ive always wanted to try Maiko, ever since they had a booth set up at the International Night Market. I knew there was a location in Atlanta, but I live out in the East and dont really like traveling there. My good friend and I stumbled upon it after a dinner at Haru Ichiban which was in the same attached shopping center, and I was in disbelief when she said that there was a Maiko where Lattea used to be! So we went, and I have been going nearly every weekend since. Their matcha is high quality, and their lattes are made how they should be - not overly sweet like most places (Starbucks/Dunkin/Bubble Tea shops). Here, you can witness and taste the true bitter strength of matcha, where I find myself often adding a couple extra shots of matcha in my latte. They also have Hojicha and black sesame. Most of their items on their menu are very light, their soft serve is made daily, and they clean their machines nightly. The staff is friendly and the decor is adorable, albeit wishing there was a larger space, but its good its small.Anywho, I recommend Maiko to all Matcha lovers out there, this place is definitely the best specialty cafe around. They do not disappoint in their Matcha items.Also btw, they have Raindrop Cake, which is made from Agar Agar and served with syrup and a nutty powder to dip in. Definitely a first and very good!

So me and my friend came here for the first time. we were told that there was a promo that if you get anything on the menu it would also come with a side of a cake. when we got our orders i asked him if it came with that side he NOW says it doesn’t. also he didn’t give me the red beans/cornflakes on the side for my maiko special mix since i didn’t want it in my drink and he said he would put it on the side. i’d rather drive all the way to atlanta for better service
