"Open for: Noon until evening every day Price range: $ You’ll find a variety of matcha-flavored shave ice, drinks, floats, and soft serve here. But what you really want is the Maiko Special, a parfait of mochi balls, azuki beans, chestnuts, matcha chiffon cake, and cornflakes, drizzled with Japanese brown sugar syrup and topped with matcha soft serve. Know before you go: Since opening this original storefront, Maiko has expanded across the U.S." - Martha Cheng
"This barebones counter, located next to a grungy night club, specializes in soft serve and drinks made with matcha from Kyoto. You can order matcha soft serve literally draped in gold leaf, but the real golden item is the matcha parfait, which consists of mochi, azuki beans, chestnuts, matcha chiffon cake, cornflakes, and matcha soft serve all jammed into a plastic cup.
