Review Summary

Kaizen Manga Café is widely praised for its standout matcha drinks and a cozy inclusive space that doubles as a community hub for manga fans and students. The menu delivers tasty banh mi, onigiri, ramen, and desserts like matcha tiramisu and Okinawa matcha, with cookies and fresh ingredients; a large manga library, comfortable seating, and a calm vibe invite reading, studying, or casual meetups. Friendly staff and flexible options such as memberships or food credit make long visits easy, and the place often feels productive with a coworking vibe and weekend events. Some drawbacks include heat in warmer months due to limited AC, occasional service hiccups, and value concerns for certain menu items. Kaizen Manga Café remains a standout for a manga loving community.

One of my favorite places to hang out in the city, & Sara (the owner) is the loveliest & most welcoming host!!! I definitely recommend getting a membership & making it to any activities when you can. Despite a busy schedule, every time I go, I feel so
welcomed :)

P.S. the matcha lattes are the best in the city!

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!

My biscoff latte & blueberry muffin were amazing. I only wish I found this cafe on my trip sooner.

We were here to attend a wedding for the weekend & I got a latte at this place pretty much every morning haha.
Sarah (hopefully I spelled that right) was super nice & the vibes in the cafe was cool & calm.

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.

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!

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.
