The food here is sooooo good. Perfect ratio of fresh ingredients. I got the salt foam on a matcha latte & my friend got the salt foam coffee latte. Both amazing tasting & huge for the price. Love this place!

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.

This place has so many cool drink options! Matchas & lattes galore. Got the brown sugar egg foam latte & it was so good. Their salmon onigiri type sandwich was also fresh & a good lunch portion. It's not a big cafe but great to go with a friend to catch up over some food & drink.

Great spots for drinks & foods. I've tried many from onigirazu, croffle, matcha & coffeee, they have been delicious. Today I had matcha latte eggfoam & the eggfoam is great for croffle dipping though!!!! (In vietnam we dip banh mi in eggcream & eat them together ☺?)

Un très bon endroit. Ce lieux propose une grande carte de café, matcha, croffle ou encore onigiri.
Nous avons trouvé nos boissons très bonnes, mais rien de phénoménales.
Les prix sont relativement élevés comparés aux autres cafés, & nous avons attendu très longtemps pour avoir notre commande.
À part ces points négatifs, ça reste un café très bon & agréable.
Je recommande si vous avez le temps !
