@ 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.
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!
@ 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.
Love this cozy little hole-in-the-wall tea salon. The owner is knowledgeable & helps you choose a matcha that's right for you :3 There are only a few tables, but the walls are covered with paintings & bookshelves, & the regulars are friendly. I don't go there that often because it's well out of my way, but 100% worth the trip by public transit. If memory serves there's a Bixi stand close by as well. **** J'adore ce petit salon de thé comfortable! Le propriétaire nous aide à bien sélectionner notre matcha selon nos goûts. Il n'y a que quelques tables, mais les murs sont décorés de tableaux & de bibliothèques. Je n'y vais pas souvent parce que c'est plutôt loin de chez moi, mais ce salon est accessible par transport en commun & il en vaut la peine. Les réguliers sont sympathiques :3 Selon mes souvenirs, il y a aussi une station Bixi pas loin.
The most amazing shop in Montreal! I came here with my girlfriends for my Bachelorette & came across this shop. Nestor is so incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, & the most down to earth person! We got to taste so many teas & had many good laughs. He is also a painter so the shop is decorated with amazing artwork you can buy. I was able to get this masterpiece & am so thankful. You truly feel so wholesome going into this shop. It's an ABSOLUTE MUST for anyone in Montreal! 🤩
Wonderful selection of matcha as well as other teas. The owner is quite knowledgeable & has a deep understanding of matcha. Best matcha shop in Montreal!
The drinks were so earthy & tasty! We talked to the owner for a while & he talked about the benefits of certain teas. He is clearly very knowledgeable about teas & their properties, & he even takes the time to make his own milk (out of pumpkin seeds)! Great service & a lovely little shop/resto.
I love this place! It's a great environment & the owner is extremely friendly, welcoming, & knowledgeable about matcha & other tea. This is the best matcha I've found in Montreal, by far! Try the sommelier for an exquisite matcha experience.
