Some of the best matcha you'll get at an affordable price! The owner is the sweetest ever & always tries to accommodate. Their flavors are amazing! Atmosphere is so cute & super good for students as it's near the metro & Concordia!!! They're hot matcha are to die for in winter timeView more

This place was great! A really simple concept that is well executed.This was my first time drinking matcha & I was certainly not disappointed, though, sadly, I forgot to take pictures for the review. The atmosphere is cozy, the drinks are great & the staff is super friendly, not to mention the wide variety of manga. I have been there once, but will definitely return. I highly recommend this place to anyone that just wants a place to read, study or simply chat with friends.View more

I ordered matcha raspberry which was perfect but what ruined my experience was the bad smell in the hall & the uncleanness of the stuff & seeing almost everywhere bunch of hair even on the stir sticks. Would be much better if you take care of that & be more cautiousView more

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
Allison
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
Sammy
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

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
Ruby
The owner is amazing! She is so sweet & outgoing & it was the main reason for why I started coming back. Well now I'm obsessed & I even became a member !! So yes i 100% recommend :) Amazing music, the food is extremely good & their coffee/matcha is to diiee forr. (I recommend the brown sugar latte)View more

I originally didn't know how to feel about the 2$/h to sit down so me & my friend were trying to justify the membership (the lowest one being 10$/week to sit however long & not get charged the hourly fee) & why go there instead of a library or another coffee shop. As time went on, we slowly got the appeal, & once the drinks came, the cover fee felt like nothing. It was honestly one of the best matcha drinks I've ever had. I loved the drink so much I only realized now while making this review that i never took a picture of my drink 🥲. For a moment, it made me wish I was a student again, so I'd have a cool place to go in between classes. Can't wait for my next trip there!View more

As a matcha lover & someone that has tried her fair share of matcha in Montreal, I can confirm this place has the best matcha I have tried yet in the city. You can tell from the colour alone that it is of ceremonial grade. Needless to say the taste lives up to the visual. Now about the place, it is such a perfect place for manga lovers or folks who are interested in reading manga (like myself) to enjoy. They have a great selection, very cozy vibe, & the books are in great condition. Additionally, the system is something new in Montreal - instead of paying upfront for a drink, you pay 3.99 for an hour of unlimited reading & drinks (there are other combos available for those that want to eat something). Prices are reasonable & for ceremonial grade matcha, the price is extremely reasonable. The owner is lovely & a great conversationalist. You can tell they put great care into the place, the details of the place & you can feel their warmth in the place too.View more
