Review Summary

Kaizen Manga Café is widely celebrated as a cozy, welcoming retreat for anime and manga enthusiasts looking for a relaxing environment to read, study, or socialize. The café earns consistent praise for its high-quality matcha drinks, particularly the signature raspberry and Okinawa sugar varieties, as well as a flavorful food menu featuring items like banh mi, onigiri, and ramen. Visitors frequently highlight the exceptionally kind and dedicated staff, noting that the inclusive atmosphere and community-focused approach make it a standout destination in downtown Montreal. While the space serves as an effective co-working hub for students and professionals, some patrons mention that it can become warm during the summer or noisy depending on the crowd, yet the overall consensus points to a charming, personality-filled gem that keeps people coming back for the unique experience and friendly service.

One of my fave lil cafes in the city ❤? SUPER friendly staff & amazing drinks! (Also, when they have them: the buns!!!) Very chill place to work, read manga & indulge in a geek-friendly environment! Would be rad to see more anime merch for sale! I recommend any drink, but especially the caramel latte! ❤?

I went there with a friend on Friday, & I really enjoyed my time there! Sarah was truly welcoming & kind!
I felt really comfortable being in the library section & talk. I will definitely continue passing by again! Would recommend this spot to anyone who loves anime 🫶🏼🫶🏼

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!

I remember going there for a collaboration with an artist, the food hits the right spot & the Mango matcha drink was the perfect balance of bitterness & sweetness that's hard to come by. I highly recommend this manga cafe if you have an hour or two to kill while reading manga & eating a bite! (*^?^)/★*☆♪

Je recommande le matcha à la framboise qui est excellent. Le personnel est super gentil & agréable !

Perfectly decent place, the staff are very polite & the space is well-decorated. However, the drinks are mediocre, considering the price, the location isn't equipped for warmer months, as it lacks AC, & the manga selection leaves a lot to be desired.
Seems great as a community hub, if you're a member. But if you're a passerby, I would only recommend it if you have very generalized taste in manga, or come with easily impressed teenagers.

Their raspberry matcha is to die for! Also amazing & friendly service from the owner, who's always a pleasure to talk to ☺?. In an area with matcha places practically everywhere, Kaizen is definitely my favourite by far. Their seats are super comfy & it's a great spot to catch up on work or to just take a break. They also have some really good sparkling sodas if you're not in the mood for something caffeinated, I really recommend the mango/yuzu one!

(Updated my review a few months after I first wrote it since I've been here so many times at this point, & I have nothing but love for this place 🥰)

Been there a few times. Excellent experience every time! Immaculate vibe. Their food is so good. It's prepared with so much care, & they took my review seriously when I asked for halal options >:) (which I really appreciate, thank you so much 🙏). Definitely try the chicken banh mi, it's delicious! But be prepared to always crave it LOL Also, the staff is super nice. Every time I go, we end up having long conversations about literally anything. It's such a fun place, can't recommend it enough!!
