If I could leave 10 out of 10 stars I would !!!
I can't state enough how much I like Kaizen Cafe; it is like my second home :3
From the Wonderful Owner named Sara, the cozy atmosphere, the plentiful manga library, to the delicious food options (like Onigiri, Onirigi Katsu, Rice Bowl or even Ramen), to finish with the amazing Matcha drinks; there's truly something for everyone :D
& one thing is for sure; you won't leave Kaizen without a smile on your face & warmth in your heartView more

Great drinks (their matcha is a must try!) & awesome environment, it's the perfect spot to work or study.
They are a small family ran business & the owner is extremely kind & friendly, you can tell she puts a lot of effort into her menu & customer service. I love that they host events such as anime watching night & Japanese classes.
It's not just a cafe, it's a community!View more

No air conditioning, extremely hot. $9 for a small matcha, not worth it. Went in because I saw they have a special on their instagram, cashier didn't bother to tell me about it & after I asked about the special he told me I already paid so…
Not worth the money, will not return.View more

Friendly service, great (& pretty) raspberry matcha & tuna onigiri. Read some manga quietly downstairs while enjoying them.View more

Very nice matcha latte, especially with the okinawa sugar. I love it. I know this place from Yatai MTL & i tried the Matcha raspberry syrup there which is really good tooo but the portion is a lil bit small comparing to the price which is higher than other places.View more

Visiting from Alberta & it was really cute & welcoming surprise finding this place! Didn't know what to expect, but it's a cute environment to hang out, study, game, read manga, etc. but it was also a great place for a matcha latte & some HALAL food!!! :) (do have to pay per hour to read the Manga they have there but it's so low cost, worth it!). They also have popmart/blind box items there like labubus (if they aren't sold out)! I also really appreciate how the owner/staff have a system in place to help you study & stay accountable! ('Get Sh*t Done sheet). Staff & customers were very nice :) Will be coming back here next time we visit Montreal ❤? highly recommend for any Manga fans/university students looking for new friends/a new community!View more

Okay so... this was my first time ever trying matcha - like, ever - & I'm so glad it happened at Kaizen Café I went for the raspberry matcha & OMG. It was smooth, lightly sweet, & actually so calming. Didn't expect to like it this much but now I totally get the hype. I also had one of their onigiris & it was warm, cozy, & comforting - the kind of snack that makes you feel like you're being taken care of.
The space itself is such a vibe - super chill, cozy, & somehow made me feel super productive. I even finished editing my Reel while I was there (rare win 😅).
& let's talk about Sara, the sweetest human ever. She made me feel right at home on day one. So welcoming, so kind - the kind of energy that makes you want to come back.
Which I did 👀On my second visit, I tried both the strawberry & mango matcha - & now I can't even pick a favorite. Each one has its own little vibe & I'm lowkey addicted.
Definitely my new go-to spot in MTL 🫶🏼✨View more

Had a good time here! Love the ambiance & the place is so cute & colorful, so many mangas to choose from! The owner is so nice & easy to talk to!
We ordered a spicy salmon onigiri & a tofu onigirazu, both fillings were good, but the rice was missing seasoning. For the drinks, we ordered one double-double matcha & one raspberry matcha. Both were creamy & yummy & the presentation was great. The orders are brought to your table! (There is a good amount of seats, for all groups) I also got the okinawa sugar latte to-go, very good!
They have an hourly fee, which is $2. But there's also a member option which is really good if you go daily/weekly, it removes the hourly fee & you can stay for an unlimited time & read all the mangas you want!View more

Loved the vibe of this cafe. The onigiris were yum & warm. Hot chocolate's so well done, better than some fancy cafes in the island, deeply chocolate-y, large mug, not too sweet. Great selection of manga. Service is attentive & easygoing. Also, they have cream puffs from Alice & Theo.View more
Andy
Their raspberry matcha is to die for! Also amazing & friendly service from a staff member that was working fully alone. 🥹 In an area with matcha places practically everywhere, I would definitely come back!View more
