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.

Great people. Definitely worth a visit. Teas were great & presented really nicely making them more worth the price. Food was absolutely amazing. Very much recommend Japanese risotto & matcha brownie dishes. Matcha tea done in traditional way, drink fast d/t loss of heat tho. Small amt of tea in cup, but that is traditional & I liked it that way. Very friendly service. Sort of uncomfortably hot in the store area, but a bit cooler in eating area. Very small, only for small small groups. Water is room temp BUT also traditional way. Atmosphere 3 star d/t stools to sit on are uncomfortable for long periods & such a small space for any larger individual.

Edit: Suite au commentaire de l'entreprise, je comprends que les étoiles sont importantes & qu'il en va de leur réputation. Je suis de pure bonne fois & mes commentaires sont basés sur un après-midi où j'étais disposé à l'expérience. J'attendais seulement qu'on me dise quoi faire à l'entrée. Les premières minutes d'une expérience sont toujours bien importantes & laissent souvent une impression chez le client qui pourrait bien mettre 3 étoiles & ne pas faire juger cette note. Je mets, au final, 5 étoiles, puisque je comprends l'impact que cela peut avoir, & qu'en général, j'ai eu une bonne expérience somme toute. ••• Excellents thés! La dame est incroyablement gentille & attentionnée! Malheureusement, l'homme à l'accueil ne semblait pas comprendre que c'était ma première fois; on aurait pu me dire (sans ton de reproche) que je devais enlever mes souliers, les mettre dans le bac (je fais quoi avec le bac?), que la caisse était cachée dans le coin... Il avait peut-être une mauvaise journée 🤷🏼‍♂️. Je le pardonne! À part ça, belle expérience.

Bien que l'ambiance & le lieu sont super & très intimiste, j'ai trouvé les prix vraiment très cher (12$ le thé) donc attention si vous souhaitez y faire un tour. Les deux personnes s'occupant à la fois de la boutique & du café sont vraiment très aimables & charmants & l'atmosphère du café est très détendue & paisible grâce a toutes les plantes. La bibliothèque dans laquelle il est possible de consulter des livres sur le Japon & le thé est une belle idée qui donne envie de lire.
