Founded with a passion for authentic tradition and refined taste, we serve handcrafted matcha desserts and beverages that transport you straight to Kyoto. Whether you're here for our silky matcha soft serve, delicate mille crêpes, or a warm cup of ceremonial-grade matcha, we invite you to slow down, savor the moment, and discover the art of Japanese tea culture—right here in Montréal.
Matcha Zanmai is described as a cozy, small spot that specializes in authentic matcha and a wide range of desserts, drinks, mochi and ice cream, with many praising the strong true matcha flavor, creamy textures, and well balanced sweetness across items like parfaits, tiramisu, yuzu tartlette, mochi, and matcha cake. The staff are repeatedly friendly and efficient, contributing to a welcoming, quick service even when busy, though seating is limited and lines can form. Some notes point to higher prices for the portions and occasional hits and misses among menu items, but overall this Montreal destination is celebrated as a top pick for matcha lovers and worth multiple visits.
If you love matcha-flavoured sweets, this is the place to go! Tried the matcha ice cream in a cone, it was excellent. Many other matcha-flavoured items (cookies, brownies, etc) which I will try the next time I'm in the area. Quick & friendly service, the place was a bit crowded but we still managed to find a place to sit. Must try if you love matcha!

Great quality matcha. I got the classic iced matcha latte. Super creamy & quality of matcha was amazing. Highly recommend. Workers were also super nice 👍🏻
Very unpleasant experience. The door is extremely unstable & slams shut very quickly. It hurt my foot when I walked in, & on the way out it slammed into my husband's elbow, leaving a big scratch & making him drop his phone.
Instead of fixing the issue, they just put a small note saying'watch your step.' Clearly a safety hazard.
The matcha itself is ok
best matcha in town!!! 🍵😙🤤 we come back almost everyday for our matcha latte & dessert!! we might have tried all the desserts & cakes on display & our favourites are definitely the matcha parfait (zanmai signature), ichigo azuki mochi & matcha chocolate cake🫶 we loved their matcha bavarois too (japan week special!!)
they also have the loveliest staff & their space is so cozy & welcoming✨ unfortunately we are leaving montreal soon & won't be able to come daily anymore 😭 so we're trying to mass eat & drink all the sweet treats offered by them before we leave :(
if you're passing by definitely give this place a try!!! 😚

One of the best place for matcha in Montreal! Located on the other side of the Concordia ev building. If you like matcha ice cream their ones is a must try! There desserts are also pretty & delicious too!
Si vous aimez le matcha, je vous conseille fortement d'aller visiter Matcha Zanmai. Il est situe en plein Centre-Ville de Montreal (pres du metro Guy Concordia ligne verte), Il a un menu avec une grande variete de boissons & desserts qui sont infuses & prepares avec la base du the vert matcha. Les places sont limitees alors mieux de poser votre commande pour emporter. Merci du bel accueil & service de l'equipe. Au plaisir, Missy A.
Went Café hopping with a friend & I've got to say it was worth it discovering this cute place.💗 I loved my order & would recommend matcha lovers to give it a whirl.
Best matcha in mtl!! Love their iced matcha latte, their ice cream & I buy their powder too so I can have incredible matcha at home. Employees are always nice & have the best smile, I love bringing friends & family there, always a hit!
Only place I've been to between Toronto & Montreal that compares to the sweets I tried in Japan! Was also super excited to find out they also carried hojicha 💚
Highly recommend, was such a treat to find so close to my hotel
Upto now I am still craving for their Matcha Mochi Cookie. It was really good ! I got Matcha latte with 2 pumps of Vanilla Syrup. Cafe is really small. Staff are really friendly… I stayed here maybe atleast 30mins … I like the decors as well… I will come back for sure !
