Certified review by an experienced Matcha Girlie of 7 years 😜 This is the highest quality matcha you can get. Got the matcha on matcha float. Thickness & umami of the matcha soft serve was very good, it was so thick it wouldn't melt right away. Good ratio. Even the slushie part was just the same even after all the ice melted, jt kept the good taste. Price is absolutely fair too for the float with was a bit over $8 after tax, when other cafes who offer a simple, low quality matcha latte at the same price.

Their matcha & hojicha powders taste very good. I was impressed by the size of the drink I got & didn't find the price extraordinary. Clean environment, nice ambience, & friendly staff who work quickly. I also really like the mochi desserts.

Moi & mes amies ont adoré notre expérience !! Le matcha est de très bonne qualité. J'ai pris un matcha latté glacé avec la crème glacé molle vanille & matcha & c'était incroyable. C'est sûr que je vais y retourner ! :)

Soft serve matcha was good but matcha latte wasn't the best. The place is a bit overrated…

Everything at Matcha ZANMAI is so good! I always grab their Matcha cookie when I go, it's absolutely delicious. Their matcha is on the sweeter side, but that's exactly how I like it.

C'est un café spécial matcha, on peut y retrouver des gâteaux au matcha des boissons, mais aussi des glaces. Il y a vraiment du choix donc on va forcément trouver quelque chose que l'on aime.

La boisson est très bonne, cependant le cookie n'avait pas vraiment le goût de Macha, donc un peu décevant de ce côté-là . J'ai tout de même hâte d'y retourner pour goûter la glace.
