Really tasty! The mochi was really good, and the combination of mung bean and match was stunning! There were a few small tables outside. Card and mobile pay only.

This little dessert shop is heaven-sent for the burning hot weather... Oooohhh it is Perfect! The shop is located close to marukame udon.

The first word in their name is Matcha. What is the product they didnt have? Thats right, matcha. Of course, you dont know this until after waiting for 10 minutes for your time to order. A sign or someone tell us would have been nice.The only option was sweet potatoe. Wish I had just walked away.

Save room for this dessert! Highly recommend Matcha shave ice is fantastic and refreshing. Having it on the cone is good too. If they have Yuzu as flavor of the month, get it! Super delicious!

Love the matcha ice-cream! The swirl flavor was the best and totally recommend!

Exactly as advertised. two perfect cones of soft serve! the half matcha half vanilla combo is the way to go.

It’s worth coming! Unique test. The girl who was helping me was so polite and nice.

I like the matcha soft serve! It is very refreshing in the sun. I like it because it is not too sweet.

I have to take 2 stars away because I wanted a plain matcha latte and the server said they dont have it unsweetened? I was excited to go to a place that has matcha in its name but have to say Im a bit disappointed that they only have a matcha mix with sugar in it.We ended up ordering two items which did taste great

I think this place has very good matcha ice cream and tea. I’d say it’s not cheap, not even close to what it should cost, however I also understand that it’s in Waikiki.3 stars because like I said it’s got good ice cream, but the amount they give you is bit underwhelming. I don’t know,,, I’m used to when you twirl the ice cream, you still fill the center portion. This place, it’s hollow. LoL.

As a matcha lover, I adore how they sprinkle matcha powder on top of the soft serve for an even more intense matcha flavor😍🍵We got the Maiko special which was good but next time will probably just order the soft serve since that’s our favorite part. Looking forward to the next visit!

Wanted to order a vanilla-matcha soft serve on a cone, but they were all out of waffle cones. I ended up ordering a half-matcha, half-ube (special flavor) soft serve on a medium cup. It was great! The matcha was a little bit overpowering, but the ube was absolutely delicious. Definitely stop by for a quick snack to combat Honolulu’s heat.

Small shop with long lines. Usually only 1 person working front shop to create the the concoctions while 2-3 people are working back-shop prepping all the ingredients.However, wait is worth it. A little pricey but what you get is a dessert packed with matcha flavor and fresh topping ingredients. Good place for a matcha lover. Sizes are decent and shareable. Would recommend and go back again.

So many matcha and green tea selections. The ones I had were delicious!

It’s so hard to find places that have great quality matcha, but this place is easily one of my new favorite places outside of Japan! Definitely visit this place if you’re in the Waikiki area! Matcha Stand Maiko is a little hidden behind a famous udon restaurant, but they definitely deserve a line just as long. Their menu offers a wide variety of ice cream, floats, shave ice, drinks, and a couple of other things as well. I got the float with matcha ice cream & it was delicious. Their cold treats are great to beat the heat with.

The match ice cream was refreshing after eating Udon for dinner. I returned the next day for the frappe. Both were delicious

For me, it is THE BEST you could ever find on this island. If Im in Waikiki, Ill never miss it 🍃🍵

They are really using premium matcha. This matcha float is superb. It is a little pricey but youll get what you paid for, besides it is in Waikiki. I will surely come back to try their Matcha with cheese foam. Highly recommended.

Its worth trying. Ice creamy good.

Yea we came last night for match cone and it was very good. It is simple and hit the point. Today we come again and tried shaved ice which is also very amazing.

Best match Ice cream in the states, highly recommend match soft serve with waffle cone, also iced hojicha. This is my favorite match ice cream place!

Something different! Im personally not a huge fan of matcha, but at the time, I had never had it before. It was good, just not my thing. Staff is nice, and they have other, non matcha, options. Definitely something you should try at least once! If you like matcha, theres soo many things to try! I did go back and enjoyed what I got the second time. Their presentations are also beautiful, highly recommend ❤

Love the combo flavor of atzuki beans, matcha shave ice, ice cream and mochi.

Great matcha ice cream. When we went during October they had a limited time halloween matcha ube swirl!

Cool matcha placesometimes a long line sometimes nottheir shaved ice is nice, so is their matcha latte. pictured is the ice cream with some gold shavings on it!

I wish I can have this everyday if I dont need to worry about my diet.

I had never heard of Matcha but decided to give it a try. It was a little strong at first but the more I ate the better it got. Id probably try it again.

If you love Matcha this is your place

Love this place, hopefully they will be open earlier soon

Tasty drinks but a bit pricey. Hojicha latte was very good, as was the jelly topping.

Ube flavor is awesome. But icecr am could be more creamy

I got the coffee jelly parfait special. It was very tasty but quite small. She also gave me a free coupon for another time which I gave to my friends niece. No idea where to park but I was walking through looking for some sweets

Their matcha soft serve is very legit matcha. Not as sweet as other places serve it. Also tried their Ube flavor which was absolutely incredible.

Love this place. We were only here for 3 days and probably got 5 cups of their matcha ice cream. Sweet, friendly staff. They’re doing great for the high influx of customers they get by the minute. Long line, but usually goes fast. Highly recommend if you like matcha!

Ube ice cream is amazing!! Came back twice to have it again

Rich and deep flavor♥️

The ice cream is okay, the service is okay, and the location is great. Getting ice cream after having meal at Basalt is so convenient that only takes you 3 minutes to walk. It is also close to Marugame Udon, Konos, Taiya, and other famous restaurants so be prepared to eat. I had the ice cream in California and this place is on par, not better not worse. I wish they open a little bit later so other customers can try, too.

WARNING: Don not order any of their iced drinks.I ordered a large match latte float for $7.85 and received 3 cups of crushed ice and maybe a cup of actual match latte. What’s worse, I got less than a cup of the matcha ice cream on top.If you come here, stick with the waffle cone. For $5.50, you get much more matcha ice cream which is actually quite delicious.

You got to try this!! Its 🔥 🔥 🔥

You cant really go wrong with Matcha Cafe Maiko. Safe choice is always the matcha soft serve.Its always nice to try their limited edition or seasonal items, but there have been few misses including the pineapple shaved and Ube soft serve. The ube soft was kinda watery/icy, and not really creamy.I do enjoy the kamaaina discount and will be back from time to time.super long.

Matcha and Vanilla soft serve was very refreshing. A perfect dessert to polish off a meal.

Matcha with a Hawaii feeling

If youre in the mood for matcha, this is the place. Whether its ice cream, coffee, or shaved ice; they have it covered. If you havent tried matcha, this is where the addiction begins. They also dont take cash so have your card, phone, or smartwatch ready for payment.

Long line, but moves quickly. Kamaaina discount must show id. Decent size for the price in Waiks. Great service

Great tasting soft serve flavours. Amazing service

So good!

Everything we had was delicious! Staff are very friendly and there is a bit of wait but worth it. Nice variety of matcha.

Every bite, AMAZING!!!!! Best of the best :)

You can never go wrong with #matcha.I love Matcha Stand Maiko❗❤My favorite thing to get is the Maiko Special.It includes matcha cream, matcha chiffon, chestnuts, and shiratama mochi; Its deliciously delightful.The mochi is so good with everything else thats included, it will leave you wanting more!Everything I tried was delicious!I cant wait to visit again!!

The mix soft serve (matcha & milk) is really good and very authentic! I could come here every day.

I ate 8 ice cream cone during my 5 day stay at Honolulu. Dont try it if you to want to gain weight, otherwise be prepared to come back and buy more. It is so delicious.

Absolutely delicious, visited this place 5 days in a row

Cute little cafe! Courteous & polite staff; quick service, yummy treat! Take your hotos quick though, the Hawaii heat melts it so fast!

I’d say this is the absolute best place for Japanese matcha soft serve. Delicious yet cream with a hint of bitterness from the authentic matcha. Ask for a stamp card because you’ll be back for sure.

Such a refreshing treat. Service was quick and the amount of dessert was right for the price. The perfect follow-up to spicy mayo ahi poke.

Really enjoyed the matcha vanilla twist with the gold leaf ($9.50, right). This is a great option for those who find the regular matcha cone to be too overpowering (left).

Best place on the island for Macha soft serve ice cream.The menu is so extensive that you can come here a hundred times and not get the same thing twice. But I always stick with the classic matcha soft serve.Theyre open during lockdown with social distancing and for plastic dividers and spaces.The workers had face Shields and full masks.

This place is good for those that really love matcha! I wish I could give half stars as I would give it 4.5, only because the matcha seemed a little too overpowering... However my friend ordered the swirl and it was in fact delicious! So for those of you that are not in love with matcha, get the swirl!!!!

Really tasty and exciting ice cream. But not too excited to wait for the long preparation time. They need to make some adjustments in serving. Perhaps hire more people. Because it’s an ice cream, it melts while other person awaits for his portion.

The matcha ice cream was very good! if you’re a fan of matcha, this place has many different drinks and sweets!

They have great matcha ice cream. The taste and color will tell you it is GOOD. Went on a Monday noon and no line at all.

Not quite as good as the soft cream in Japan (these were a little more ice cream-ish than soft cream), but not bad if you need to get your fix.

The matcha ice cream is nasty stuff, but the vanilla, while more ice than cream, is good once you get used to it.

If they still have the matcha yogurt thing, don’t try it. Safest choice is matcha soft serve with mochi and red bean :)

Went to this place while waiting in line for Marukame udon - we got the Matcha Special - I didn’t really like the corn flakes and thought it was confusing with the ingredients they put it... it was like a fusion of Japanese and cheap American cereals.

We have a matcha maiko at home in DC area, but had to give the original a try while we were in town. Ordered the matcha shaved ice which is refreshing on a hot afternoon. A nice difference from all the other overly sweet shaved ice options. The toppings are all a wonderful addition (mochi balls perfectly chewy, red bean the right texture and sweetness). And of course cant forget the delicious green tea soft serve on top.

Love the matcha creations from this place. It is very expensive sadly…

Just a great spot for dessert! The matcha Maiko special is full of delicious surprises. Will come back for more!

If you are in Honolulu, you have to try this matcha ice cream. The matcha flavour was so perfect and the ice cream was very soft and smooth.

The best matcha soft serve I have ever had in North America!! Very delicious especially I ate it in Hawaii in a hot weather. Also they put some matcha powder on top of the soft serve. They were pretty generous. We had matcha soft serve or icecream at other places in North America, but we did not have the matcha powder that went with it. Good matcha powder can be expensive.This Japanese matcha dessert place definitely targets Asians.There are a couple of tables and chairs outside the shop that people can buy the desserts, sit and enjoy.I would highly recommend this place if you love match desserts and drinks.

Damn this place is legit when it comes to all things matcha.I had the matcha soft serve with matcha shave ice and it was amazing. You can definitely taste how good the matcha is and it wasnt too sweet. A must try if ur in the area.

Best shaved ice I ever had! Highly recommended!

Good matcha flavored ice cream. The matcha was pretty strong though so it keeps you up at night. Lol. Enjoy!

This dessert is not to my taste but darned if people dont queue all day for it and seem pretty happy. Worth trying to experience something a bit different.

This is a small shop close to Marukame Udon. A good dessert once youre finished eating udon. They have different varieties of soft serve. I usually just get their matcha, but they also have vanilla and a swirl of both. The soft serve is very tasty with a deep matcha flavor. Since theres usually one person in the front, you would probably be waiting for a long time to order and get your soft serve, so be prepared for that.

Amazing! We came here every night we stayed in Honolulu

Best Matcha Ive ever tried

Small little stand tucked in the corner of the strip mall. Look for an umbrella out front. Nice, fast service and the best matcha soft serve. Just as delicious as all of their locations. I got the hojicha latte float with matcha soft serve and it was not too sweet and had a rich tea flavor.

Fast service and great menu

Matcha soft serve so good! Matcha is nicely strong

Their premium matcha is one of the best Ive tried on the island!

Uji matcha ice cream cone was so delicious and authentic. If you have a Hawaiian state ID card, you can get 10% off.

Matcha heaven

Matcha is the best 🍵👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Delicious matcha soft serve!

Best matcha Ive ever had - so full of flavour!

Very good matcha desserts and drinks. But for a small premium.

Small matcha drink/dessert stand across from the International Market.I got the ice lemon matcha tea and I wasn’t very sweet, which I prefer.They are popular for their soft serve, matcha, vanilla, or mix. One of their hot item is the Maiko special, which is soft serve with a variety of toppings like red bean, matcha cake, jello, and mochi.

So yummy! I loved the #35 matcha latte float, ask for less ice :)

As a matcha-lover, I was blown away by how delicious the Matcha Shaved Ice was. The shiratamas were super fun to chew on the matcha that melted in your mouth will have you in tears.Not only was the food great, I was served quickly and I was super impressed by how friendly the cashier was. I didnt see a tip option in the machine so I pulled out some change out of my pocket and asked where the tip jar was, and the girl just said to not worry about it and come back next time. You bet Ill be coming back every time I visit Waikiki from now on. 5/5

Had the hojicha latte float 🌱🍵 it had a little too much ice, but tasted great! Wonder if you can ask for less ice!!

Soooooo good! Really loved the ice cream.

I was in a line at an Udon place and I noticed this small cafe. Didnt seem great to me at first glance but when I tried their matcha green tea icecream....it was the best day of my life. I am usually not a fan of icecreams because they are too sweet. But this icecream has the perfect sweetness and the flavour of matcha just kills you. If you go to Honululu...this is a MUST TRY.PS: I still keep dreaming of that icecream even now. Hopefully I get a chance to visit Oahu again someday.

Great place. Matcha tastes good.

We had the matcha float. The ice cream was delicious, definitely tasted like real matcha. The float had a lot of ice, so I’d recommend just the soft serve!

The staff was so friendly! My first time trying matcha, so the lady at the counter helped me pick out something Id like. I got the matcha & vanilla parfait. Yum!

If you love matcha this is a must when visiting Honolulu. Dont pass this place up!

Indulge in their special of the month - We had the yummy cheesecake Matcha!

Ice cream is good and special

The best soft serve and matcha green tea product I have ever had. It is just fantastic. I wish I could bring it home with me.
