Maiko Matcha is a must-visit for any matcha lover in NYC! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the rich aroma of premium Uji matcha and a calming, modern vibe. I tried their signature matcha soft serve and it was incredibly smooth, earthy, and not too sweet—exactly how matcha should be. The matcha float and houjicha drinks are also amazing if you’re looking to try something different. Everything is beautifully presented, and you can tell they take their craft seriously. It’s a perfect stop whether you’re a matcha fanatic or just looking for a delicious Japanese-inspired dessert.
