I was at maiko just now and this will be my last visit because of what I experienced today with the workers. I ordered a black sesame latte and made it a float with soft serve. From the first sip I could tell the milk was spoiled. I confirmed I wasn’t wrong after my husband tried it too and he almost threw up. We told the staff and I don’t even remember getting an apology for being served an inedible drink. They said we could switch to something else so I asked for just ice cream instead. Then they made it confusing with the price. One worker just decided to make it a medium soft serve without asking me. That cost less than what I originally paid. Then they acted like I owed them. I did the calculation, which was simple math, and knew I paid more not less. So I tried to make it work by asking if I could add a topping to even out the price with the ice cream they gave me without discussion. But they explained that the ice cream I got, which was 9.50 plus tax, is the same as the latte with float I originally ordered, which was 10.25 plus tax. Clearly they are not the same. One worker at one point said the latte with float is more expensive because it’s considered two items compared to ice cream which is considered one item. That made no sense.Throughout this whole nonsense they treated us like WE were the problem. Only at the end did they offer a topping like they were doing us a big favor. We never asked for free stuff. We just wanted something fair.At the end of the day this was never about that 75c difference. If they had at least not treated us like we were the problem or if there was a sincere apology for serving spoiled milk or even if they had just given us an something that matched the price we paid, I would not have felt so upset and I would not be writing this review.The whole thing left me with a bad taste and bad vibes. I am upset that I got treated like a difficult customer for simply asking for a non spoiled dessert. The owner really needs to train the staff better. It should not be this stressful to just get ice cream.

The soft serve Matcha and Taro ice cream is very creamy and delicious. The strawberry matcha latte was very light and sweet. We’ll definitely come back again!

The store is tiny but great. Very clean and a bit of seating by the window. Got the taro signature soft serve cone and ube latte and both were delicious. Overall great experience and would definitely check it out if you’re in the area.

I have been going to Matcha Maiko for years and they are hands down the best matcha place in town with a great variety of other flavors and add ons. Case in point: Hojicha sundae and banana pudding sundae with matcha soft serve.

Got a matcha taro soft serve for my first time here and it was amazing! Matcha is a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. The employee Kathy was helpful with explaining the menu and recommending items.
