If tea, coffee and other treats are what you're after, look no further than this new business. Called Matcha Cafe Maiko, the newcomer is at 8072 Clairemont Mesa Blvd. in Kearny Mesa.

Yelper Isabella M. added, “100% in love with their matcha soft-serve ice cream...It's a very rich, pure matcha but refreshing at the same time.”

Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Matcha Cafe Maiko is open from noon–10:30 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday and noon–11:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
