Our Review
Saikō is one of the most unique cafe experiences in Orlando — a matcha and espresso bar tucked inside Orlando Racket Sports on Orange Blossom Trail. The unconventional location is part of the charm. Walk in past the pickleball courts and you'll find a bright, well-designed cafe with comfortable seating and throwback music setting the mood.
The matcha here is the real deal — ceremonial-grade and beautifully crafted. The Mango Sticky Matcha is a must-try with its layers of mango puree, toasted rice milk, matcha, and coconut cream. The Pistachio Matcha and Black Sesame Matcha are also excellent. On the coffee side, the Miso Caramel latte with its hint of sesame is surprisingly delicious — like an elevated salted caramel.
Presentation is top-notch — every drink looks as good as it tastes, making it a great spot for photos. The space can get busy, especially on weekends, but the vibe stays relaxed. Not the most traditional work-from-cafe spot, but a handful of regulars do bring laptops to the bar seating. Definitely worth the drive for anyone who loves matcha or just wants to try something different.
