Tried the Matcha Slush & Matcha-Vanilla soft serve. I'd give both a 7/10
Matcha was pretty strong but very moderately sweetened , vanilla soft serve didn't taste like anything,

Matcha latté toujours à mon goût! Le mille-crêpe & le gâteau au fromage sont aussi très bons! Il y a cependant peu de places pour s'asseoir donc on ne peut pas toujours manger & boire sur place surtout avec le fort achalandage à certaines heures. Le service est néanmoins rapide & professionnel même s'il y a beaucoup de gens.

Matcha icecream is great. This place is a total ripoff of Tsjuri (menu & its layout looks identical). The matcha'cheesecake' is actually mousse & tastes like bitter lime-it was disappointing & not worth the 7$+ price due to its small size & taste

No words could even describe how much I love this spot. The matcha there is really REALLY good, as a japanese person I can guarantee that it's the best place to get any matcha desserts or drinks! The food is not too sweet at all, the ice cream is always soooo good, the price is a little high but pretty much expected for the quality of the matcha & the treats. Very friendly staff, very nice ambiance, sometimes a little crowded but it's fine. Good spot for matcha enjoyers or for people who never tasted matcha, I always recommend this place to everyone!!🩷❤?🧡
