Randomly went here due to my friend searching google maps on our visit to Montreal. No pictures because we were too busy chatting with the owner about sweetened vs. unsweetened matcha, Chinese tea, & the tea scene in Montreal. Owner was kind enough to give us unsweetened versions of our drinks to try when we mentioned that we like our drinks without sugar. Delicious 😋
I was visiting Montreal & decided to pass by. The place looks good but the customer service it is not too friendly. I did not know they don't use plastic glasses & when I asked about it the person at the front desk got mad at me making me feel like a bad & stupid person because I just made the question. The drink was fine but I prefer a place where I feel welcomed or at least they explain their concept better.

Very cute place, the owner is super friendly, tentative & considerate. He welcomed us with such warmth. The drink size is huge for the price. Totally worth it, the experience was great
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!
Amazing drink, good vibes, & good view. I talked with the owner. He is really passionate about what he is doing, & his knowledge about teas in general & matcha in particular is wide, so he could have the best option for the customer. I highly recommend the Jasmatcha if you love a drink that is not sweet & has a light scent of jasmine.
On our endless search for the finest matcha, we took a delightful chance on a mysterious, intimate tea room. They quickly exceeded our expectations, showcasing an impressive selection of organic matcha & a variety of enchanting Japanese & Taiwanese teas.
What makes this tea room unique is its dedication to matcha drinks-not the traditional lattes you often come across, but rather thoughtfully crafted beverages that celebrate the rich flavors & qualities of matcha in their purest forms. We were particularly taken with the presentation; our drinks were served in sleek glass bottles to go.
We decided to try the Ironmatcha, infused with the warming essence of cardamom, which created a bold yet comforting flavor profile. The Jasminematcha was equally captivating, as fragrant as it was delicious, highlighting the delicate notes of jasmine.
We were pleasantly surprised by the pumpkin seed milk, which was just incredible. Its earthy, nutty flavor paired harmoniously with our matcha selections.
Additionally, the tea room featured a charming boutique with an array of tea-related items, from exquisite tea sets to premium matcha tools, allowing visitors to take a piece of their experience home.
Interestingly, this place doesn't seem to engage with social media, as we discovered a humorous sign stating'no TikToks' inside! It only added to the authenticity & allure. It's clear that the focus here is on creating a genuine & intimate experience rather than cheap marketing.
Our visit was a delightful adventure, & we couldn't resist sharing the wonderful experience we had. This tea room is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates the artistry of matcha & the tranquility of a serene tea experience. 🎋🍵✨
The owner (I'm just guessing) is super nice. He seems not to be super friendly in a way of hyperactive, just a calm, non-chatter person. When we told him that it's our first time, he explained to us with a very nice attitude. Even after that, we had 3 servings for the ceremonial matcha, & he had some takeout that needs guidance to the menu also after we ordered, which can be quite time-consuming, he was still very soft spoken. He asked some follow up questions to update with us if everything was ok, some small talks but didn't invade our space at all. Overall, it was a great chill time-spending spot. The drinks were good of course.
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?)
Matcha was amazing- we tried the tasting menu, the regular matcha latte, & the avocatcha. The avocatcha is my personal favorite- creamy, nutty, & has a sweet/floral flavor to it. I appreciate the attention to detail- the drinks are served in stainless steel cups & glassware which retain the cool temperature. The store is also spotless- the owner is constantly cleaning & is attentive. We will continue coming here.
Very nice matcha shop for matcha connoisseurs. I'm not big on matcha so it was nice to try a couple of drinks (cold only). Very fun experience. The atmosphere is very nice, you need to take off your shoes & wear the slides they provide. It's like the full japanese experience. There's a not laptop sign as you come in so it's more a place to relax & socialize. I just don't like the "@" in the name because it always confuses google maps lol.

Came the first time but the store was still close but luckily I made it the next day. Such a great experience to try different type of matcha. It was smart haha to not tell us what the types that I would drink :) i love the banana matcha. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience & try more type of matcha
Beyond delightful. This shop has a relaxed vibe & the drinks are outstanding. Nestor, the owner & matcha master, is outstanding too! The service was tops. He has a lot of beautiful paintings he sells besides. This is my new favorite place in Montreal, try it for yourself.
So glad I found this gem of a spot! As a budding matcha enthusiast, I was nerding out on everything Nestor had to offer & all the knowledge he shared. Come here for the vibes & unique, delicious drinks! Ps. Nestor- If you see this, I tried stopping by for a Sesamatcha before heading back to the states & was bummed that I missed you before your trip! Thanks again for such an awesome experience. Safe travels & hope to visit your shop again soon 🍵
My friend & I popped in a super hot day looking for a refreshing drink. We ordered the cold iron matcha "latte" to go & were pleasantly surprised by the format & unique taste, earthy & subtly sweet thanks to the homemade nut milk. We've thoroughly enjoyed our experience & look forward to going back soon. Merci!
