At matcha, the focus remains entirely on the meticulous preparation of premium Japanese green tea products. The menu showcases an array of specialized beverages crafted from authentic, high-grade powdered tea leaves, highlighting traditional preparation methods. Patrons encounter a distinct minimalist aesthetic that emphasizes the natural, vibrant profile of the primary ingredient. Beyond classic preparations, the offerings include creative culinary adaptations that integrate the unique earthiness of matcha into various consumable forms. Every item reflects a commitment to quality sourcing and precise consistency, ensuring that the botanical integrity of the leaves is preserved in each serving. The environment provides a structured space dedicated to the appreciation of these specific tea-based items, catering to enthusiasts who seek an unadulterated and professional approach to contemporary Japanese tea culture and its diverse applications.
@ 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.
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.

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 :(
The best Macha ever!! My sister & I got an avocado Macha & an iron Macha both AMAZING!!! The owner was very kind & recommended us both those flavors :) The best Macha place ever!!
@ Matcha holds a special place in my heart. Nestor, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, & welcoming, & you can truly feel the care & passion he puts into everything he does.
Every time I go there, it feels like a new experience: there is always something to discover, whether it's a new tea preparation, one of his pieces of art, or just a thoughtful conversation.
The space has such a warm & calming atmosphere, & the quality of the matcha is amazing. I always leave feeling happy & inspired.
I went into this café, thinking it would be a nice authentic experience however, the owner was so rude & blatantly condescending towards me. I asked him a simple question about regular milk & he started getting so mad at me acting like I was offending his culture (he's not even Japanese). I tried to leave multiple times during the interaction & he did not let me & he was being so blatantly mean & condescending. I will never be returning here again. Do not come here.
We were just window glazing & immediately attracted by this cute tea room. The decor is so cute & special, the owner is so kind & insightful, we talked for a very long time & he's passionate about what he's doing, introducing the tea to people & actually bringing the culture & value behind the tea, & nurture the appreciation for the tea. We got the Avocatcha (avocados, matcha, & dattes), it was really fresh & original, we could feel the raw taste & scent of matcha. Can't wait to come back again!
Nous avons découvert aujourd'hui par hasard ce café de connaisseur tenu par un vrai artiste du matcha qui met visiblement beaucoup de coeur à la préparation de son art, l'attention au détail jusqu'à la préparation de son propre lait de graines de citrouille qui se marie parfaitement au matcha & crée un matcha de spécialité hors du commun ! À tester & re-tester ❤?
