Ok, je comprends que le matcha puisse être une tradition dans certains pays d'Asie & notamment le Japon.
Mais arrêtons de nous mentir, ça goûte vraiment le gazon non ?! J'arrive vraiment pas à y trouver un intérêt en dehors d'une mode healthy coûte que coûte…

Très bonne crème glacée au matcha, vraiment savoureuse. Le gâteau était également délicieux. Par contre, le matcha latte au lait d'amande m'a semblé assez ordinaire, presque comme un simple verre de lait… J'y ai ajouté un peu de crème glacée, & la deuxième moitié du breuvage avait enfin plus de goût!

10000000/10. I should start planning another trip to Montreal just so I can have their matcha icecream again. It's perfection. Brownie points for serving ceremonial grade matcha, which is so hard to find. Cannot say enough good things - this place is simply best thing thing since sliced bread.

The staff is super friendly & I love the pastries here. I also enjoy the variety of Matcha drinks they offer. Only giving a 4 star because i found the basic Matcha latte to be a little weak in taste, but it's probably just a personal preference!
