At first glance it's a cute cozy cafe on Notre Dame at. There aren't many seats & not many plugs for computers (it's a no computer zone on weekends).

The vanilla iced latte was good, the coffee is strong. But the Earl gray matcha was just not good. The syrup was overpowering so it was just too sweet & took over the whole drink so I couldn't taste the matcha. Early gray is just tea so it was giving diluted less flavourful iced chai.

I was so disappointed, I'm sure that the matcha itself is good given the colour of the green was super vibrant & green, I just couldn't taste any of it.

I went back to tell the employee that it's too sweet & that I couldn't taste the matcha & she told me she could take ice off & add milk...

I let her do her thing knowing I'd be left with room temperature milky sweetness... I'm forcing myself to drink as much as I can given I paid 10$ for the drink.

More milk in an overly sweet diluted matcha won't fix it obviously, any barista would know whatever matcha flavour that could've been there is gone for sure now. They asked how it was & I said'mm..it's good.. now..' (don't do that).

I'm at a loss, I'm not going back a third time to complain, one time is my limit.

J'avais trop hâte de tester ce café & je n'ai pas été déçue ! On a goûté leur mango matcha 🍵🥭& leur earl grey matcha (quel coup de coeur celui-là wow)! La barista Sophia était tellement charmante & serviable. L'énergie était super & le café est super mignon, bien aménagé, plein de lumière & très propre.

Très mignon café de quartier. J'ai pris leur nouveauté Matcha Mangue with cold foam à la mangue sans lactose. C'était divin, j'en ai même repris un second (regular size) après avoir englouti mon premier verre (big size). I'll come back for sure.

Really nice chill cafe near Atwater Market!

I ordered an iced matcha latte. It was well balanced, not too sweet & the level of ice was perfect (many other places add way too much ice & not enough milk).

Staff members were nice, helpful & efficient. They prepared my drink in a timely manner despite the long queue of customers.

The only thing I wish since Cafe Mina Mina's got a cozy ambiance is more space with more tables. It's a considerably tight cafe & I would've loved to sit at a table & do some computer work.

But overall, a nice experience!

A small, lovely café specializing in a variety of matcha drinks. We ordered the regular matcha latte & the earl grey matcha latte - both were great. The earl grey & matcha balanced each other well, with neither overpowering the other. Seating is limited (stools & small tables), so it's better suited for solo visits or small groups.
