Review Summary

Kaizen Manga Cafe is described as a cozy, welcoming hub with a colorful, book-filled vibe that makes it great for studying, reading manga, or catching up with friends. The menu earns praise for standout matcha and coffee, tasty bites like banh mi and onigiri, and drinks such as raspberry matcha and mango yuzu sodas, with many noting the quality and presentation. A strong sense of community comes from attentive, friendly staff and a space that feels inclusive, with a flexible model that includes a member option and student discounts, plus weekday coworking and weekend events. Some reviews note the space can get warm without air conditioning and occasional inconsistencies in food seasoning or cleanliness, but overall the atmosphere, vibes, and value for manga lovers and students keep bringing people back. It is often described as a real gem and the go-to place to read, work, study, and enjoy drinks and bites.

Very nice little cafe, i absolutely adoreee their Raspberry Matcha with the Raspberry cold foam, my favourite matcha ever!!! It is an insane flavour combo. Not really a cafe to go study (unless you have a pass/subscription to their other floor) but you can still sit down & eat or drink, they have two seats for that. Very nice employees & good service always!

I met the owner there today & they were so sweet! They explained the study space concept for students who want to work, eat/drink, & stay accountable. They have a form you can fill out to let them know how often you might want to checked on. You can set goals & stay on track that way! They have a 10% student discount which always appreciated. They have a TV, water station, & a full library of mangas to read or buy there. Their food is delicious & their matcha drinks are great! It's a perfect café to chill out or study in & the aesthetic is super cute too.

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.

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!

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!
