Love this little Japanese cafe - the best matcha in the city & delicious curry options! Very kid friendly (they have a playroom in the back), love the laidback vibe & staff are super friendly 😊
Mon endroit préféré à Verdun. C'est comme à la maison avec de la bonne musique. C'est un endroit chaleureux & cozy. On y retrouve des mets japonais concoctés avec amour (curry, onigiri, etc.). Je me suis pas une buveuse de café m, mais le thé y est très bon (matcha, hojicha, etc.).
Very cute & cozy neighborhood café specializing in japanese products. They have several matcha & hojicha drinks as well as some japanese meals & pastries.
The inside is very unique, as every chair & tables are different. There's even a table with swings for chairs.

I had an incredible experience at this Japanese café. The food was absolutely amazing, though the kitsune udon could use a bit more flavor in the broth as it felt a little diluted for my taste. On the other hand, the hiyashichuka was outstanding - a perfect balance of flavors. Both the coffee & matcha were top-notch as well. The owner himself came to check on us, & he was extremely kind & welcoming, which added a personal touch to the visit. I highly recommend this place for its delicious offerings & warm hospitality!
I no longer live in Montreal but every time I come back, I make a point to stop by here every single time. The food, the service, the drinks (best matcha & matcha cookies in all of Montreal), the people & the environment are all excellent. You feel so welcome & everything is high quality & super tasty. I would recommend this place to anyone. It truly feels like a safe space for community. Special shout out to the lovely couple who run Komma Rosta, they are the main reason I keep coming back 🙏
J'avais initialement laissé un mauvais commentaire pour ce café, & je l'ai enlevé. Je suis retournée ce vendredi avec une amie, & nous avons adoré la nourriture & le café. Mon amie a pris a matcha glacé & des triangles de riz. J'ai pris un café latte & une soupe. C'était très bon. Tellement que je suis retournée à nouveau samedi & dimanche avec mon chum. Je recommande vivement.
This place is lovely! Really cozy atmosphere with lots of well loved plants & they always have some kind of live music. Today it was an elderly gentleman playing clarinet ☺️. The matcha latte was delicious & unsweetened, the oniguri was fantastic, & the red bean mochi were to die for 😍.
I love this place! I've been coming here for years-the coffee is amazing, & they have a wide range of other beverages, like hojicha & matcha lattes & smoothies. They also offer delicious food, from udon curry to onigiri & sinful brownies. The atmosphere is wonderful, especially with the eclectic seating options, including home-built swing seats & plush movie theater seats. The big corner windows let in great light, even on dark November days. But the best thing by far is the owner & all of his kind & welcoming employees that give this cafe it's neighborhood feel. It really feels like a cornerstone of the community.
