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

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

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
