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.
@ 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.
Truly a gem in Montreal.

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!
The owner of this store is the kindest man. You can tell he really cares about his customers & is passionate about tea & art! All the paintings & interior design is done by him. Cutest shop ever🤍
The shop is very quaint & cute, the tea tasting was fantastic, the shop owner was very grumpy. Not sure why he was so unfriendly with us. He was not welcoming & made our visit uncomfortable. We understand you may be following specific cultural traditions & we would have loved to learn more about them & respect them but no need to be so cold with your customers that are happy to come in & support your business ✌?
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 😋
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.
