Long line and EXPENSIVE! I was excited to try this place, and I guess so was the rest of the city. Line went out the door. The cafe is small so the line inside also meant that tables were hard to get to and everyone was cramped. The soft serve ice cream is great quality, but if you order it with a waffle it’s $15. Which is insane. It also takes forever, almost 15 minutes after ordering when busy. After so much time the waffle isn’t warm either, so overall lackluster. Nice food. But at that price point I don’t think I’ll go back.

one of the best matchas in boston!! their seasonal specials are so creative and yummy! i don’t live in the immediate area so it’s always fun to see what’s on the menu when i do drive into the city for a post-doctor’s appointment treat :)

I visited Matcha Café Maiko based on a recommendation. I’m not a fan of matcha or these kinds of products, but I know many people are. For those who love matcha, I’d say it’s worth a visit. The products are high quality, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Everything was clean and well presented. It’s not really my thing, but I still recommend it for matcha lovers.

Delicious!! Not a ton of indoor seating and no outdoor seating but it's near the Fens and is very accessible. The bubble waffle with ice cream was so good and they have interesting soft serve flavors and also boba ice cream sundaes. Worth the trip.

Beautiful weather calls for a delicious treat! Nothing beats the perfect blend of matcha and strawberry ice cream. Plus, the wall art here totally vibes with my love for Japanese anime, especially One Piece! Check out the amazing wall art while you're there!

This adorable cafe is a matcha lovers dream come true! The staff were so nice and the drinks were wonderful.

So I had to try as much as I could, and so I got a strawberry Matcha la, soft serve Matcha and Matcha pudding. We went on a weekend afternoon and it was pretty busy! It seems this place gets popular. The strawberry match was underwhelming, it was rather watery and flat with the strawberry syrup on the bottom and there wasn’t much cream as advertised. The soft serve was yummy! A lot to offer and rich in flavor but I can’t eat it all. The matcha pudding was my favorite, it’s rice pudding on the bottom and it balances well with the matcha with just a tiny hint of sweet. The staff members were fine but seemed to be disorganized when it gets busy but depending on who makes your drink, it may not be how you always like it.

Matcha Cafe Maiko, the place to OG Matcha beverages and cuisines. I have been hearing a lot about the Matcha so I decided to give it a try and ordered a Matcha ice cream . Boy oh boy, it was one of the most amazing things I have tried in this place. The taste as well as the flavor was just top notch. The generosity of the staff amidst such crowded weekends definitely deserves applause. This place is highly recommended but be sure you arrive early as it is generally crowded.
