About

Cha Do Raku serves as a sanctuary for those interested in the nuances of traditional Japanese tea preparation. The menu centers on a vast selection of high-quality imported leaves, where precise brewing draws out deep, subtle aromatics in every cup. Alongside these tea offerings, the kitchen prepares homemade comfort food rooted in seasonal sensibilities. Savory dishes such as ochazuke anchor the selection, presenting a bowl of rice submerged in fragrant broth that provides a gentle, warming flavor profile. The space maintains an intimate character, keeping the focus entirely on the sensory experience of the tea and food. Every item reflects a steady dedication to authentic flavor balance and traditional presentation, resulting in a distinct environment where the quiet complexity of Japanese ingredients takes precedence.

Review Summary

Cha Do Raku is widely celebrated for offering an authentic, intimate, and relaxing Japanese tea experience that feels like a hidden gem. Guests frequently praise the extensive selection of premium teas, the fascinating brewing techniques, and the high-quality, homemade Japanese comfort food such as ochazuke and seasonal desserts. Many visitors appreciate the knowledgeable service, the clear explanations provided during tea ceremonies, and the welcoming atmosphere, noting that it serves as a tranquil escape. While the majority of feedback highlights the unique charm, expert presentation, and overall quality of the food and tea, a few mentions regarding smaller portion sizes, pricing, or seating comfort suggest a highly specialized but delightful environment that encourages repeat visits.

I don't have enough words to describe this place. As a well seasoned matcha lover (who visited a green tea plantation in Japan) I loved every second in this shop. From the tea ceremony to the advice from the owner herself, I've never felt this good & carefully listened to in a tea shop. The lady took a lot of her precious time to explain all the different flavours & profiles as well as the brewing technique. I have never felt rushed. Also, the quality of the teas is premium as she imports them directly from her birth country. It was a wonderful shopping experience. I'll only buy my matcha in this place from now on. Thank you so much! Arigato gozaimasu! 🇯🇵🍵

We've been to this tea shop twice in a week & absolutely love it! It is very authentic & a little piece of Japan right in Montreal. They have a great variety of imported teas within different price ranges. We did the tearoom at the back both times & is a lovely experience. The owner, I believe her name is Chiro, is very friendly & welcoming. She explains the teas very well & how to make them. The desserts are wonderful & such great quality. They list the ingredients in the menu which is very nice as you rarely see that. We will keep coming back!

Their tea selection is huge & we ended up choosing what the owner recommended. The green tea was mind blowing. The tea is exceptional quality.

We also got 2 desserts & the complement the tea so well. One of them is rice mochi & the other is a creamy mousse cup. It feels like a little piece of Japan in Montreal. A truly amazing experience. However, seats are limited so you might have to squeeze in a little bit. Love the atmosphere, hospitality & tea!

+++ Wide, well-curated, well-described selection of specialty teas. +++ Kind & attentive service. +++ Beautifully & tastefully decorated. --- Get ready to pay the price. This is an absolute gem. A small & lovely teahouse coupled with a cozy teashop, it makes for an easy win in the gourmet category. A selection of music plays all throughout, at times calming, at times cheery, but always interesting to hear. While the price tags tend to be on the higher end, with them come selected teas in a quality-over-quantity philosophy, along with artisanal teaware in a myriad of lovely shapes & colors.
