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 :(

My boyfriend & I were here in Montreal for a dragon boat race two weeks ago. I found this place from a recommendation & was determined to try out the matcha drinks! We got the iron matcha & hojicha choco & they both did not disappoint the slightest bit. The decorations were lovely & cozy (he also has beautiful paintings). Nestor was so kind & nice & friendly & you could tell how passionate he was in curating the best & most healthy drinks for his customers, getting the best ingredients from all over the world. During our chit chat he even offered some delightful snacks (best date with cashew ive ever had!!) & mini drinks of cermonial matcha & jasmine tea (also the most fragrant & delicious jasmine tea ive had). It was a great experience & we promise to come back if we ever visited Montreal again. Or let us know if you ever open a place in Vancouver haha!

Love the tasting menu. It's best to come when you're thirsty because it'll fill your stomach up. Relaxing space, spend your time to chill while waiting for him to make the ceremonial matcha is the best. The dates with the avocado mix is absolutely a wonderful combo with the bitter drinks. We had to buy a box of dates to eat at home with his mixture of the avocado thingy because we were so addicted to it. Definitely coming back to try the rest & buy some more dates with that avocado mix (still don't know what to call it. House sauce?)

Probably the best matcha cafe I've tried in Montréal! I tried the sesame matcha latte as I wanted something that was lower in caffeine. It was the perfect temperature & not too sweet. Service was great. The space is nice & welcoming. The stuffed dates were also delicious & very unique.

This is definitely one of the best places I have been to. Got the matcha marreto. It comes in a big 500 ml bottle. It is very light, flavorful & soothing. The perfect mix of flavors of almond, dates & rice. The owner is very nice & friendly.

Je suis une grande fan de matcha , ce magasin est un vrai paradis ! Le propriétaire Nestor , est vraiment très agréable il aime son métier & ça se ressent dans ce qu'on déguste dans sa boutique . J'ai goûté un matcha lait de citrouille fait maison & légèrement sucré à la date , une exaltation pour les papilles. De plus l'ambiance est zen, & le style bohème est au top. Je suis là pour 10 jours encore je vais revenir c'est une certitude

I feel like I'm at a tea renegade mastermind's lair, being served familiar teas with different tones of flavours, home brewed white tea from exotic locations. It is a special experience in the city, I had the matcha avocado, traditional matcha & got served white tea in the house & some fresh date & peanut butter snacks for iron since matcha inhibits iron intake. Really nice owne

This place is fantastic! The matcha was made with dates & was so delicious & I got it in a glass container instead of plastic. The owner at the front desk was friendly & gave great recommendations & even helped me plan my entire day including a hike up the mountain overlooking the city on the way to old port. Visiting from California, he was a huge help & allowed me to have a day of adventure!
