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!

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 Iron Matcha is amazing. The owner is truly a master of his practice. I would definitely recommend letting him guide you on what to get as his recommendations are great. I will definitely be going back.

Had such a great experience here while visiting from Toronto! The owner was incredibly accommodating & welcoming, which made the whole visit feel even more special. I tried the Iron Matcha with pumpkin seed milk & it was amazing!! Smooth, rich, & perfectly balanced. I also learned that pumpkin seed milk is a healthier option, which was a nice bonus!

As someone who regularly makes matcha at home, I was really impressed & will definitely be trying this style myself. I even picked up some of their matcha powder, which was very reasonably priced.

The ambiance of the place is lovely, calm, cozy, & a great spot to relax. The portion size of the matcha is generous & absolutely worth it. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in Montreal!

Nestor is an artist with his matcha. Iron matcha is my favourite. His space is green & bright & a pleasure to relax. He is very kind & puts intention in all of his work.

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!
