Matcha Cafe Maiko

This matcha shop is always a must-visit for us whenever we come to Orlando. The shop itself is small and often very busy, so the tables and floor can feel a bit sticky and not very clean, and the door frame is even a little chipped. That said, the drinks are truly delicious, rich and flavorful. The ice cream is also very good, and the hojicha flavor is worth trying too.

I tried the matcha and ube cone as well as the banana pudding matcha latte, both were amazing. I went on a Sunday afternoon and it got quite busy after I ordered. Seating is quite limited once it got busy. As is pretty typical for the area, I had to search around a little for parking, but was able to find a spot pretty quickly Staff was incredibly friendly, the food and drink were delicious, and the prices were incredibly reasonable.

Everytime is amazing! Food and drinks are fabulous. Decor is incredibly cute and ever changing!! Very fun and festive with fantastic food!! The matcha menu is extensive, and all things are made fresh and fast!!

Matcha overload the shaved ice deserves to be a star .many different flavors fun options taiyaki , coffees, teas, and toppings a little small a little tight a lot of flavor somewhat busy it seems like the secret is out. It's a really good place to get quick snacks.

BEST tasting Macha ! A real taste of Japan! Friendly positive atmosphere. Very popular with college age people! More varies of Macha than i ever saw anywhere outside of Japan! Update! I stop here when I visit Orlando (monthly) I recommend the matcha latte float with Macha ice cream ! Wonderful 💚 !! It's not a store bought ice cream. They make it themselves on site... my opinion: the best tasting matcha ice cream since I was in Tokyo !!

Went specifically for my favorite desserts Taiyaki and affogato, taiyaki usually red beans but we tried the custard and Nutella and we were so satisfied, delicious 🤤 unfortunately there was no coffee or espresso available so didn’t get the affogato, will have to come back again , it s highly recommended! Staff are very kind and professional.

Great matcha spot! Overall, everything was good. We really enjoyed the banana pudding matcha latte. The matcha ice cream cone tasted great too, though it unfortunately broke right after we left the shop. My main suggestion would be for them to fix the air conditioning. With Florida's summer heat, working AC would make a huge difference for both customers and staff.

Absolutely love this place! The matcha latte is rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced — not too sweet and just the right amount of earthiness. You can tell they use high-quality matcha. Staff are friendly and the service is always quick. Definitely my go-to spot for a matcha fix!

This is by far my favorite matcha place! The matcha is strong but not too much it's the perfect amount of flavor. I absolutely love the banana cream pie matcha and the strawberry matcha. I have been to Matcha Cafe Maiko many times and everytime i have been it has always been amazing. I recommend getting the frappe matcha because i tend to drink the regular matcha latte too fast haha! I can't get matcha anywhere else because it isn't as good as this.

Ok I've been trying to be a matcha girlie for like 5 years now and I think it's finally official. I've been ordering matcha at basically every coffee shop around town lately, and I have to say that this is THE spot! They pretty much always have a line at any time of the day if that tells you anything. They have lots of creative matcha combinations and viral drinks, but I love a good strawberry matcha and this is the best one I've had so far. You can actually taste the strawberry when it mixes with the matcha and it's a fresh strawberry flavor -- not like a syrup. Trust me, it's so good! I've also tried their viral banana pudding matcha which was... interesting. The banana pudding on top was AMAZING if you just eat it straight up with a spoon, but once it mixed into the drink you couldn't really taste it anymore and it made the matcha chunky. I would get it again and just eat the pudding first, haha.

There was a time where this was the MAIN spot to get your matcha latte in Mills50. It's crazy how we now have a multitude of options and the original spots can become overlooked. I still stop by this cafe when I'm in town and really enjoy all of the options available. They really do have high quality matcha. This time I tried the banana pudding matcha latte, what a treat. Whole chunks of banana pudding in a bright green matcha latte. Ordering is simple enough, the girls behind the counter were all nice. The one downside of this place is the lack of seating. When I'm solo it's easy to take my drink with me and continue walking, but if I wanted to come in a group this wouldn't be my first choice.

This Matcha Café is a hidden gem in Orlando! There's plenty of parking on the side of the building, which makes it easy to pop in for a quick stop. Service is always fast, and the matcha blends are consistently delicious--whether you go for one of their seasonal specials or stick to the classics, you really can't go wrong. The seating area is small, but honestly, the real star here is the baked goods. Every pastry I've tried pairs perfectly with their drinks and elevates the whole experience. I've been back several times now, and the fact that I keep returning says it all. Definitely add this spot to your matcha tour of Orlando--you won't be disappointed!

I have heard good things about this spot, and so I was excited to check it out! The service was great, I loved their little hangout spot, and that they even had photo opportunities! This honeycomb matcha was honestly not my favorite though. I did not realize that it was just regular matcha with honeycomb toffee on top, which I wish was made clear to me. I had them add a shot of vanilla which helped a little, but I think that much sugar made my stomach upset. I do want to go back and give them another try, I just know now in the future to ask if the matcha is flavored with the item or is it on top only

I came here with family who love matcha and was not disappointed at all! This is the cutest spot and is quite popular. They have many different drink options to choose from and have some seating inside the cafe. There is also a parking lot behind it.

Hands down best matcha in the area. You can definitely tell the matcha is great quality. The variety offered is amazing and so are their prices. No over priced latte here. Downsides- traffic/ parking and long line/ wait time. My Go To: Iced/hot matcha latte with ube foam. Iced Yuzu matcha Tea spritz.

Simple, easy service. Small store with limited seating so if it's busy, be prepared to wait outside. I've had the matcha and vanilla swirl soft serve before and it was a good matcha taste balance, not too much or little. I've also ordered iced black sesame espresso latte; if you like black sesame... this is it! I took my time drinking this cuz it was that good. Will be back when I visit again!

I usually get their soft serve when I visit, but the matcha latte and float are good too. The matcha flavor is rich and of quality. For thr soft serve, they have a different flavor of the month which is a nice change if you want something other than their usual matcha, so keep an eye out for the little black board on their counter. I got the pandan this time which was sweet and earthy just like it should be. Limited seating but that's to be expected since the shop is small and cozy. Service is quick even when they're busy. Always a nice sweet treat!

When we visited, it was so busy, so clearly a crowd favorite! Despite that, they were getting orders filled quickly and had great service. Such a good menu with lots of variety and amazing matcha. I got the banana pudding latte, which was a seasonal specialty. I did feel like I hardly had any drink, especially for the price, but I think it's the way that drink was made, with the banana pudding added into it. Next time, I would get a regular matcha with a cold foam or something instead. Lots of sweet treats here, and a few other options if you don't want matcha too. A small shop but they do have some tables to sit at. It's cute but not much going on in terms of aesthetic. But that doesn't always matter when the matcha is delicious!

This place has been going viral all over social media for their banana pudding matcha latte, however I just wanted to try their iced matcha drinks in general. I stopped by around 5:30 on Saturday and it was packed inside with a line excited to order their matcha treat. While in line, I contemplated over getting an iced matcha latte with an ube cold foam, an iced strawberry matcha latte, or the viral banana pudding matcha latte. I did keep it simple with an iced matcha latte with almond milk and an ube cold foam. It came out to $7 and some change. I waited in the crowded store which is modern and cute. About 10 minutes later, my drink order was ready. Aesthetically, it's photo worthy. Unfortunately, my matcha latte was not an iced latte. It was lukewarm with a few ice cubes. Kinda of disappointing however the drink overall was good. The ube foam was delicious with this nutty, yam like taste. It wasn't super sweet which I like because you can taste the matcha flavor. Once I mixed the ube foam and matcha together, it was really good. It had an earthy, vanilla flavor profile but again it wasn't iced. However, I will be returning to Premium Matcha for another matcha latte and I need to try their ube and matcha soft serve in a cone ASAP. I'll definitely recommend this spot but I would say to stop in maybe during the week or earlier in the day to beat the crowd.

Matcha Maiko If you want real great tasting Matcha this is where you'd want to go A little disappointed they didn't have soft serve at the time I went though I got the Matcha Latte with Oatmilk And realized a matcha-piece was built! Customers seem to enjoy this place We were in a line out the door with no space Overall, we didn't wait so long for our drink Matcha, Taro, and Ice Cream and that's really this shop in a blink

I was in the mood for Matcha and was told Premium Matcha was the best place to go. The parking lot is small so most ppl park next door or down the street. The line is consistently long , but moves fast. The limited edition matcha flavor is Banana Pudding so that's what I ordered. I also got 2 Taiyakis ( cheddar & custard). I was in & out with my order in under 10 mins even with the Taiyakis cooked fresh & made to order . It was impossible to get a table but I sat for a few by the window. The banana pudding matcha latte was good . I'm still not sure if it was best to stir it like I did or eat it off the top . The ambiance was busy and customer service was as great . I would come back again.

I was recommended to come here by a friend and TikTok and I regret nothing. I decided to drive out 20 minutes while on vacation to Orlando and it was worth it! I've never had matcha with honeycomb before, but it was so good. The honeycomb had an amazing texture and that tooth sticking quality. The place is a cute little cafe and the service is nice. It was worth the out of the way drive!

I know I'm not the first person to love Matcha Maiko and I certainly won't be the last. You can find me at least once a month trying out the flavor of the month for their soft serve -- rose, Thai tea, jasmine tea, melon, so many more -- I haven't tried a flavor that I didn't love yet. The matcha quality and flavor here is fantastic, and they make it so well. The Strawberry Matcha is basic, but it's my go-to. Lines are always packed out the door on evenings and weekends. If you can, I recommend coming earlier in the day if you wanna grab a spot. Service is quick and friendly.

Everything tastes so good, super smooth matcha, not bitter at all. The matcha latte, the egg coffee, even rose matcha? All 10/10. Vibe is cozy, cute, and perfect for hanging out or to go. Service is pretty fast. Plenty of parking. Visiting Orlando again, and this spot came highly recommended. So yeah, I'm already planning my next visit :)

The assorted types of matcha here is amazing. My favorite was the soft serve. I will say that their matcha is on the stronger side, but it softens very well with the cream. The service here is fast, and it's very cool to see the shaved ice made. This would also be the perfect spot to do some homework or hang out.

I wouldn't recommend as a spot to enjoy your matcha beverage or as an option to pick up a matcha. The line is very long and the drinks do take a while. It's a very small space so don't anticipate to get a spot unless you plan to patiently wait. There is a parking lot connected but many of the spots are reserved for the other businesses. Anticipate majority of the drinks to be sweet. I would recommend this spot if you had time and were looking for dessert.

Premium Matcha Café was on the list of places my daughter needed to go while visiting. The pictures online look amazing. The small space is on Mills, there is an attached parking lot but there were no spaces available. This was my 1st time having matcha and it didn't disappoint. The menu is on the wall or you can scan the QR code for the digital menu. They serve all sorts of beverages and they serve the most amazing looking ice cream that I did not have on this visit but will return for it. We ordered, one iced matcha latte full sweet and one hot matcha latte and an order of custard filled taiyakis (there are 2 in the order). We were given a sort of pager and we waited, but not for long. The space is not that big. And all the seating options were taken. There are small tables and bench sitting by the windows. The iced matcha was perfect according to my daughter, the hot was interesting but good. I should have ordered an iced. The taiyaki was warm and subtly sweet. We will be back for the ice cream.

The matcha vanilla soft serve with a honey comb on a cone was absolutely delicious! It was the perfect treat after dinner. The cone was freshly made and not super sweet and the soft self was the perfect balance. The service was great as well! The young man who took my order was super friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to come back and try the drinks!

"It's cooler, it's smoother, it's matcha." I typically make my match as at home, but when I saw that they were now offering banana pudding matcha lattes it was a must that I go. I went early on a weekday so luckily it was pretty quiet. I was greeted right away and placed my order. With a couple of minutes I had the goods and was out. It was better than I expected it to be. The hype is definitely real. There are 2 things that I would change. The first would be the option for a bigger size than the 2 they offer and the second would be that the banana be more prevalent , maybe add a little more to the drink. Overall, I am a fan and after righting this, I'm craving one and will be getting one in the morning.

When it comes to matcha, Cafe Maiko can't be beat! I ordered their housemade honeycomb matcha latte and it's hands-down my new favorite matcha drink in town. The honeycomb melts into the drink over time and gives it a wonderful sweetness without being overpowering. What I especially appreciated was the fact that they give out buzzers to know when your order is ready! It was really nice not having to wait around the counter.

I went here for the first time and had heard only positive things about this matcha shop. It's located in the Mills 50 district which is a prime location for Florida foodies. The shop was clean but very tiny! Not a ton of seating and unfortunately when I went the AC was broken because of a power outage in the area. I ordered the seasonal special which was the banana pudding matcha! It was DELICIOUS! Definitely worth the hype. My friends got regular matcha and they said they enjoyed their drinks as well. It's a bit pricey, my matcha was just under $9 so that is the only reason I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 stars.

This cafe was packed with a line out the door when I visited but the staff were moving quickly to keep up with the line. I tried their strawberry matcha latte and it was great matcha! Definitely recommend to try them out. They have many unique and delicious sounding drinks and offerings. The inside was small so the tables get scooped up fast during busy hours.

Super cute place, it's small and the staff is hustling! They did such a great job getting people in and out, there was a line outside. I loved the Matcha Latte, I also tried the Banana pudding matcha latte (it was good- but personally wouldn't get it again since I enjoy the flavor of their matcha so much).

The matcha was absolutely delicious! Perfectly balanced flavor -- smooth, earthy, and just the right amount of sweetness. Great vibe and presentation too. Can't wait to come back and try more!

I love matcha and this is cute little spot in Mills! I had the matcha latte float, the flavor was earthy and full. I finished the latte before I could even try the soft serve, ended up having to finish it once I got home because I forgot to grab a spoon!

There was a line out the door when we got there, so I knew it was going to be good. They use buzzers for when your order is ready, which I love way more than hearing names shouted out every 2 seconds. The matcha was phenomenal and I will be going back for more to try new items !!!

When I visited Orlando a few months ago, I had a very positive experience. My order was taken promptly, and I received my Coffee Latte Float efficiently. The Coffee Latte Float was well-made and delicious. Premium Matcha Cafe Maiko offers a variety of drinks to choose from, and I recommend the Coffee Latte Float; you won't regret it. Overall satisfaction with my visit? I was pleased with my drink order and had no issues or complaints about the drink or the staff.

If you're a matcha lover in Orlando, Premium Matcha Cafe is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the space feels calming and thoughtfully designed--minimalist yet inviting, with an unmistakable aroma of fresh, stone-ground matcha in the air. The staff was knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about what they serve. They were happy to answer questions and make recommendations, which made the experience even better. Whether you're a matcha purist or just matcha-curious, this spot caters to all levels. They also have a great variety of creative drinks (hello, matcha lemonade and hojicha lattes!) and small bites that pair perfectly.

Finally get to review this place that has gotten popular over the years. The location of this place is odd because its next door to my seamstress shop! The parking can be challenging because its a limited spot for cars to park. As you can see on the pics there is a line especially on weekends. But it goes by fast. 1 star was removed because the AC is not pumping enough for this warm Florida weather. It was warm inside! Looking through the menu you have 3 soft serve flavors: Matcha Ube or Vanilla. I opted for what they are known for Matcha. Ordered the Shave Ice - Uji Kintoki for $9.50 Its very instagram photo esque when they serve it on a bamboo stand. Its a loaded shave ice with matcha syrup, mochi balls, red beans, chestnuts and matcha vanilla swirl soft serve dusted with matcha powder. Its looks overloaded but for some reason it was light to eat perhaps the shave ice factor. It was delicious not overly sweet and refreshing. It does have a strong matcha flavor. Staff here are nice and limited seating inside. Inside was capacity level and I think thats what made the inside turned to warm temperature. This franchise is also known to franchised all over USA. I would try the ube flavor next time and try the fish shaped pastries. Definitely would come back!

RUN to get the new banana pudding matcha this was so delicious I finished it in 2 mins ! We love this match spot it's the best in Orlando. We love coming back and back ‍ the service is fun definitely be prepped for a line but our order did not take more than 15 mins. The aesthetic and ambiance inside is super cute

One of my new go to places for a strawberry matcha latte. I will say though that cafe Maiko gets quite busy late in the evening. I arrived on a lucky day and only had one other person in front of me before placing my order. On other occasions when I went with a friend it can be 30 minutes to an hour. The matcha was very creamy and whisked well. It didn't separate and the strawberry added the right amount of sweetness. I also bought separate matcha to bake. The matcha also serves well in baked goods for those that want a great quality matcha to put into their cookies.

Really wanted to try all the drinks but decided to get some soft serves instead on this hot summer day. 1 matcha, 1 ube and matcha combo and 1 strawberry sundae. All were 10/10. The long line made sense, would definitely return!

I love a seasonal/special item on a menu so I went for the Banana Pudding Matcha latte (with oat milk.) There were nice banana chunks in the scoops of banana pudding. The matcha wasn't too sweet or too bitter. The ube crème was a beautiful shade of deep purple and felt like absolute silk; it was so creamy. We also ordered one custard and one Nutella taiyaki, they came out hot and crispy- just delicious!

My friend and I both ordered the ube foam matcha, I also added blueberry flavor to my drink. The ube foam was really good at first, but then it tasted like food dye? The after taste was very strong and not pleasant. We did like the actual matcha and it was very thick!

I love anything made with matcha, and my go-to "dessert" is the matcha frappuccino from Starbucks, which I can customize just the way I like it. Today I was craving matcha ice cream and, of course, found it in Orlando's mecca of Asian food, the Mills area. I went on a Sunday in the late afternoon. The place was packed, with a line I honestly didn't expect. The matcha soft serve was delicious, with perfect texture and consistency, but what I liked the most was that it wasn't overly sweet like ice cream usually is at typical ice cream shops. I definitely want to come back and try one of their iced matcha drinks. Another plus: there's parking in the adjacent lot.

I was skeptical of this place knowing that it's a chain, but Matcha Cafe Maiko has become one of my go to matcha spots in Orlando. The ceremonial matcha is smooth and you can control how sweet you want your drink. My usual is a half sweet iced oat matcha but there's a lot of fun dessert drinks here as well. I admit that the banana cream pie matcha was a yummy treat. It can get pretty expensive here, especially for the seasonals, but the quality is definitely for the matcha lovers.

Since I was in the Mills 50 area and was wanted something sweet stopped by here and got the matcha ice cream on a cone and loved it you can also choose from other ice cream flavors like taro or vanilla too!

They have some of the best matcha in Orlando, incredibly smooth, bright green and never grainy. I highly recommend their matcha latte float, not too sweet and it's topped with their soft serve ice cream. I like to get it w/ light ice as it makes it easier to eat the ice cream on top. For a sweeter option, their strawberry matcha latte is fantastic (especially good if it's your first time trying matcha and you're not sure if you'll like the strong tea flavor). They have a beautiful seating area where you can eat/ chat + amazing staff. The building isn't too big so it can get cramped when it's busy. Overall, the drinks + ice cream are amazing and I've never had a bad experience here!

This little place is hotter than fish grease in June! Customers were consistently coming in the door and as a first time patron I now am in the know. They can give you your matcha in many forms from iced, hot, ice cream. I wish there was a comparable location in the Tampa area So if you take a day trip to Orlando be sure to stop by, but be prepared to wait for matcha goodness.

A must visit everytime you're in Orlando ! No ! Everytime you're in Mills! Premium matcha indeed. Not even cold weather can stop me from enjoying some ice cream. If you are easily chilled though there are hot options! Such a cute spot to sit and chill! We snagged a table during some slower moments that evening. Slowly making my way through this menu ! The shaved ice was soft ! I chose to get both ube and matcha soft serve atop my ice. It's decorated with matcha syrup, mochi, red bean, and (sadly) one chestnut.

I've never have had a bad experience; their icecream flavors are just SO GOOD!! I always come here during the months they have black sesame and hojicha. I hope they put both of these flavors together for a month bc i would love to try them swirled/together.

I love this place. I love the matcha cafe so much that I made it a point to go like once a month. They are usually pleasant. There is one person who I believe is an assistant manager that is the only snappy person there. Otherwise they are efficient and really hardworking. I imagine it's hard to hold conversation when it's busy. I've been here DOZENS and DOZENS of times. I tell everyone about this place. This is one of my favorite spots. Genuinely it's never failed me. Other than one time when their ice cream was not fresh and genuinely freeze burnt and the ice cream tasted so awful everyone in my party of five wanted to throw up. I suspected the heavy cream was possibly spoiled as well. The normal soft serve was not there. Instead I was met with hard and gross ice cream and even aggressive behavior from the manager (a man) and the woman who was an assistant manager. They tried to genuinely tell me that the ice cream was fine. And they tried mine so they knew it was fine. It was still in my hand. They refused to accommodate me and actually were going to tell me to just not drink it since I didn't enjoy it. They don't do refunds here because it's "never their fault" as spoken by the manager. Eventually, they bartered with me and gave me another drink. It was that or I get nothing back. I had forgotten about this awful experience until today. When I was reminded today that when this place drops the ball, they drop it hard. Seriously 99.9% of the time it's amazing here but it's unfortunately that these 0.01% are so awful that it makes it an impression for a while. There was a long line today (no biggie) so I tried something. I ordered online. I still waited in line. I had never ordered online and I wanted to make sure I had a spot in line just in case. So I waited until it was my turn to order which I informed the front cashier that I was here for an order. She tells me, we have it and we are still working on it. I then wait. I waited another twenty minutes after I sat down before I saw about four people who came after me get their orders. Now I am confused? So I stand up and face one of my least favorite experiences and tell the woman at the hand off that I was waiting for my online order. Before I continue I need to explain something. They knew I was here because after I sat down someone who ordered inside with a similar drink to mine goes up and wanted to make a change to her drink. They go "are you the mobile order who just came in?" I just watched the exchange. She says no I just ordered. That's not my order. They knew I was here. There is no plausible deniability for ALL of them. The cashier knew and two of three baristas knew. The woman at the hand off didn't. The handoff woman asks me if I told anyone I was here. I told her I waited in line and told the cashier. She goes well we didn't know. No one told us. I told her that's not true I told the cashier I placed my order and waited in line and when I got up front she told me it wasn't ready yet and they were working on it. She looks over and says I'm so sorry about that. We will make your drink right away. I turn away and somehow my drink is already done. Now, that was incredible. She hands me a drink that looks off to me and says I gave you extra ice cream for the wait. Here's the thing. I, like many others, don't complain or voice concerns for free things. I just wanted my matcha latte float with ube ice cream. I didn't want extra anything. I appreciated the extra ice cream but it wasn't without its cost. They made my drink so haphazardly that it wasn't good and there was so much ice cream it was like I was eating a large cup of ice cream instead of getting my matcha. If you are not someone who goes regularly, you wouldn't know this but this cafe is incredibly stringy about everything. You ask for no ice, your drink is half full now. They don't give extras. They measure everything. So I know when I tried it and realized there's like no matcha in this, that I got extra ice cream in place of them spending a single minute to make my drink. At this point I had been waiting thirty minutes (outside line and after I sat down), what would have another minute or two down? That wouldn't have placated my anger if I was angry about the wait nor would it have taken back my time. I don't mind waiting but if you messed up, I deserve my drink being made with the same effort everyone's else drink gets. Not some quick fix thinking I wouldn't notice. Unfortunately, I will probably still come back because it's great every other time. But this was a failure on all accounts.

Their honeycomb matcha latte is so good! Definitely on the sweet side since the honeycomb will melt into your drink as you drink it, but the matcha flavor is strong and prevalent. I love being able to snack on the sweet honeycomb pieces. Refreshing and tasty - great matcha! Will definitely come back!

Matcha is good quality and it's just the right sweetness. The Matcha latte with oat milk is so good and creamy. Just tried the blueberry Matcha and the purée was not my favorite but still pretty good taste but I didn't care for the seedy texture and didn't mix very well.

This is a very cute cafe! This spot was recommended to me by coworkers as an Orion for some snacks and dessert after our lunch. It was quiet when we arrived so once I had time to mull over the menu I went up and ordered the taiyaki (cheese option and a Nutella option), and a mango spritz to drink. The taiyaki was served warm which I appreciated since it was still cold out and the mango spritz was light and refreshing! I'd love to come back to this spot and cozy up and relax again soon!

Delicious always! We got an ube affogato and shaved ice with both ube and matcha ice cream! The espresso here is amazing!! Nice cute little place and the service is pretty good!

Came back here a few days after because the August flavor of the week was hojicha! It was good too, as good as the matcha. I also tasted the matcha Espresso latte (iced) and I thought this combination was better than the black Sesame one. I'm not a coffee drinker but I liked it a lot. There's a rewards program that you can sign up for easily.
