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.

Delicious iced matcha latte, even without any sweetener the matcha itself is flavorful with a mild sweetness to it. Would recommend!

Meilleur matcha latte que j'ai bu de ma vie ! À un point tel que j'ai dû y retourner le lendemain. Le choix de pâtisseries est très variés & semblent tous excellents. J'ai mangé un daifuku au matcha, un mochi cheesecake yuzu-bleuet & un biscuit mochi. Ils étaient tous délicieux mais j'ai eu une préférence pour le biscuit & le daifuku, ils en valent le détour. Le personnel est souriant, rapide & très accueillant. Le local est un peu petit pour la clientèle qui passe donc il n'y a pas toujours de place assise, mais ils ont l'opinion d'emporter. Une vraie perle comme endroit! Si vous êtes fan de matcha, vous allez adoré.

It is a matcha paradise, I had strawberry matcha latte & mango mochi, both were good & not overly sweet. I would highly recommend this place for matcha lovers.

One of their male cashiers, was racist towards me. He was being polite to the white customers who were ahead of me in the queue to order, & when it was my turn to order, his facial expressions suddenly changed for the worse, & he was avoiding eye contact as he spoke to me to take the order. This indicates unwelcome towards me & a lack of professionalism In dealing with me. I am their customer, like all other customers, they supposed to deal with all customers the same, regardless of race & color. However, After my previous comment, I noticed a change in his behavior the next times I visited them. He is welcoming, professional, & respectful. & this is good of them to consider & take customer comment seriously. I hope they continue to do so. Their service was very good. In my opinion, they have the best matcha latte in Montreal in terms of quality & taste & I back to them every time I wanna Matcha latte outside. The balance of matcha concentration with milk is excellent as I prefer. I am satisfied with treatment & service

Best matcha ice-cream in town. Not too sweet, just right:) First time I went I got a matcha latte which was great, a matchaccino with almond milk (not the best mix), & a matcha mochi cookie (very good). Today I tried the matcha float & the parfait with jelly, 10/10 loved it! Will be coming back!

Super tasty matcha & great service! We got the matcha latte & matcha mochi cookie, & both were so delicious & flavourful! The latte was tasty without being too overpowering or bitter. The cookie was soft & chewy on the outside. Amazing matcha place!
