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.
Service is great! Staff very friendly. I tried the matcha mochi & it was so deliciousss! Also had the tiramisu genmaicha, very good! They were out of the opera. Will definitely go back & try it.
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.
The float was what I got along with my mom getting a dessert matcha. They give you a fair amount for the price. I would recommend! It would be a really good spot for matcha fans!😁
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.

If you love matcha this is the place for you. I'll give this spot a firm 8.5/10. The matcha ice cream is delicious & not overly sweet. I got the parfait with all the sides except the red bean paste, (not my thing) the cake was amazing but the jello had no real flavor & the rice cake mochi was generally flavorless. I still highly recommend trying it though for a unique ice cream cake combo. The matcha cake & ice cream are amazing.
