Review Summary

Cha Do Raku is described as a tiny, intimate tea salon with a strong Japanese vibe and welcoming hospitality, where guests can explore a wide and unusual tea selection, observe tea preparation, and enjoy desserts that complement the drinks, including options like rice mochi and a creamy mousse cup. Reviews highlight the high quality and diverse flavors of the teas, with comments about mind blowing green tea and rich, flavorful profiles, and some praise for the authentic and educational experience as well as the warm atmosphere. However, seating is limited and chairs can be uncomfortable, and some note that prices can feel high, though others feel the value justifies the experience and allows multiple infusions. The place is repeatedly described as a hidden gem in Montreal that feels like a little piece of Japan, with a focus on atmosphere, decor, and a sense of ritual around tea. Overall, Cha Do Raku stands out for a tea forward experience that attracts tea lovers who seek authenticity, charm, and a memorable visit, even if space is tight.

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!

Les portions sont petites, & en plus, c'est cher pour un salon de thé.

I was surprised that the tea shop had a small cafe area inside of tea shop. Their teas are very interesting & flavorful. I would to recommend this place to my friends who are interested in Japanese teas. I would like to try their ochazuke next time, which must be authentic & tasty.

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!

This is really tiny place, so if want to have a tea inside - better to have a reservation.

Une petite perle bien cachée. Cha Do Raku, c'est pas juste un salon de thé, c'est une vibe. À peine passé la porte, tu te déchausses, tu mets des chaussons, & t'oublies le reste. Seulement 8 places, donc ultra intime.

Le choix de thés est fou : noir, vert, orange, rouge… avec des profils umami, terreux, astringents, matcha - chacun avec sa petite personnalité. Tout est pensé : la vaisselle, la musique, le décor. Tu bois un thé, mais t'as l'impression de vivre une formule complète.

Thé(7?) + 2?rh + ? + ?r²h = Cha Do Raku.
À tester au moins une fois si t'aimes le thé (ou juste chiller dans un spot qui a de l'âme).

A great & unique tea-based experience. You get to learn how to make special teas & eat delicious food originally from the south side of Japan.

Fantastique endroit! Vous ne regretterez pas, la qualité du thé est exceptionnelle, le service est tout aussi excellent. C'est intime, propre & a du charme. Je ne comprends pas les reviews qui se plaignent du coût: du bon thé c'est coûteux & en plus les prix sont raisonnables (de plus, vous pouvez infuser vos thés plusieurs fois). La seule chose que j'aurai à dire c'est que les chaises sont petites & inconfortables, mais c'est tellement un superbe endroit que ce n'est pas un soucis. Mon copain & moi y sommes allés plusieurs fois & la qualité reste consistante! :)

This tea salon is truly one of Montreal's hidden gems. The moment you step in, you are welcomed with warmth & a sense of calm. The food is delicious & the service is truly one of a kind. The tea options are numerous & well elaborated. I definitely recommend this place to everyone looking for a personal experience to slow down from the everyday rush of life. Shiho is an amazing host & cook. Thank you so much for the amazing experience 💗

This particular tea distributor offers workshops on tea tasting. I hadn't been there before the workshop, but the owner was kind & knowledgeable & she even offered scrumptious homemade treats accompanying the teas we were trying out. It was a great experience & would 100% go there again. *** Ce distributeur de thé offre des ateliers de dégustation de thé. C'était la première fois que j'y allais & la propriétaire nous a servi des désserts faits à la main pour accompagner les thés. Quel délice! :3 J'ai adoré mon expérience & je recommande ce magasin de thé & ses ateliers à 100% pour les curieux.

Super petit salon de thé où l'on se sent transporter dans un petit coin du Japon. Ambiance très détendue mais l'endroit devient très rapidement rempli. Les propriétaires sont super gentils & la sélection de thé est très satisfaisante.
