My husband & I went 2 days in a row while in the area! The spicy salmon & unagi onigirazus are really tasty, so was the salmon bowl. Sweet croffle was a tad to sweet for me but only because I don't have a sweet tooth, my husband loved it. I had strawberry matcha & my husband had mango matcha, both excellent. Will try the coffees next!

The food & drinks here are AMAZING!! I had ordered the Matcha Guava drink & it tastes so creamy & sweet! I also ordered the Tamagoyaki & spam with avocado onigiri! It tasted so savory while having some tangy sweetness! Such a great place for a great meal & relaxation!

Solid spot for satisfying Asian snacks & an absurd range of matcha.

Found this place hunting for a quick afternoon snack. Despite the heavy student crowd in the area, the cafe was nearly empty. The one a couple doors down was packed wall to wall, so I'm not sure what the locals know that I don't, but the quiet made it a nice, relaxing stop.

Montreal's matcha scene feels smaller than most US cities, so this place fills the gap by going all in. Alongside Asian snacks like onigiri & donburi bowls, they play with matcha in just about every form I've come across. Fruity matcha lattes, a matcha coconut cloud, even matcha with egg foam. I went with the guava matcha cloud, which came out gentle & floral, the guava sitting lightly on top of the matcha rather than steamrolling it.

For snacks, we grabbed crab (kani) & eel onigiri. A tad pricier than the onigiri I've had at other cafes, but they were generous with the protein, & the avocado & sauce kept everything balanced. Even the rice-to-filling ratio felt right, which is the thing most places get wrong.

Worth a stop if you want a good snack to go with your matcha.

Le matcha à la fraise est délicieux! Même chose pour l'onigirazu aux crevettes épicées. Le matcha à la mangue n'est pas foufou.
