Review Summary

Matcha Zanmai draws praise for authentic, high quality matcha across drinks, ice cream, mochi and a variety of desserts, with favorites like the Zanmai parfait, yuzu tartlette and matcha soft serve repeatedly highlighted. Reviewers describe the experience as cozy and welcoming, with staff described as friendly and efficient, though seating is limited and lines can be long during busy times. Prices are often noted as on the higher side but still considered fair for the quality and artistry of the matcha and toppings. A few notes mention that some drinks may be too sweet or not as strong as expected, and that decaf versions can cause stomach upset for some. Space is small, making takeout common, and the atmosphere is intimate rather than spacious, which suits matcha lovers looking for a quick treat. Overall, Matcha Zanmai is described as a must visit for matcha fans, delivering vibrant, earthy flavors and a range of textures across signature items.

I am obsessed with this place ❤? close to Concordia & easy to access + nice to have the free drink after 10 :D

We tried the hot matcha & hojicha latte & really liked it!! The taste & staff are super nice. Only the prices are a bit above average (12,65 $ for both drinks (without tip)) & they don't have toilets BUT we are really happy that we have finally tried this place!

I for sure recommend it to everybody (even to people who think that matcha tastes like spinach or grass - they might change their opinion here :))))

Great spot to eat & drink macha drinks/treats. But the restaurant is small so you won't be able to sit down during peak hours.

Perfect for matcha lovers like myself, they have a wide variety of drinks & treats on their menu (honourable mention to their loaded matcha ice cream & mochi cookie)!

The ultimate place for the matcha fanatic. Everything is top-notch - loved the crepe, the yuzu drink, & of course the ice-cream swirl. I will be back to try every single thing on this menu.
