Review Summary

@ matcha is widely celebrated as a unique and authentic destination for tea enthusiasts in Montreal, praised for its high-quality matcha, creative blends like the popular Iron Matcha and Avocatcha, and thoughtful use of house-made pumpkin seed milk. The space is frequently described as a cozy, artistic, and calming gem where visitors appreciate the educational approach to tea culture and the visible passion poured into every preparation. While most patrons find the experience inspiring and the service deeply knowledgeable and welcoming, a small number of guests have encountered a more rigid or cold atmosphere, noting that the focus on tradition and specific shop standards can occasionally lead to tense interactions. Overall, those who value a genuine, slow-paced, and artistic tea experience consider it a standout establishment that offers far more than a standard cafe visit.

We had such a lovely time here. The matcha tasted amazing & the place itself is lovely, filled with art & other decorations. Above all, Nestor, the owner, was super kind & communicative. Would definitely recommend to stop by if you have a chance!

Wow. It took me 40 minutes to get to @Matcha today. But I can assure you that everything the reviews say are correct, so it was well worth it. What a genuine treasure of a spot. I tried the sampler, as I'm only in the area for a short while longer. A journey - I loved every minute. The IronMatcha was a personal favorite, followed by Houjichoco. Nestor was so patient & kind to answer my many, many questions. It's always a pleasure to meet someone who is clearly so passionate & knowledgeable about their craft. The environment he has curated in the house is so well thought out & intentional. Nothing is short-cut. Thank you for the experience, sir!

Highly recommend if you're a matcha lover. The owner is trained by a tea master from Japan & this was genuinely the best matcha I've had. He also has a lot of stories & wisdom about matcha if you like to chat.

C'est l'endroit idéal pour les amoureux du thé Matcha. Nestor, le propriétaire, est un passionné de thé. Tout ce qu'il fait est délicieux : Matcha, Thé, Pouding. Allez-y ! Vous ne serez pas déçu !

Don't come here / À éviter :
We tried the iron matcha drink & it was not enjoyable at all. It was extremely gritty as whole dates were blended directly into it & unfiltered. It felt like drinking sand & the date bits kept getting stuck in our teeth. The cardamom flavour was overwhelming & in general the flavours did not mix well. We also tried the choco hojicha drink which was even grittier, but the flavour was a bit better. Unfortunately, it tasted stronger of chocolate than hojicha. Also, the drinks were not prepared fresh-they were pre-prepared & stored in the fridge. Matcha should always be whisked fresh, especially for an $11 drink (with tax & container deposit). To top it off, the owner made a weird comment about how the women in our group should not pay for the men's drinks. There is misogyny in the milk :(
