Petit café avec moins d'une dizaine de places assises. Parfait pour ceux qui souhaitent manger / boire du Matcha… voire même un peu intense.

This store is great! Quality is very similar to the ones I've been in Japan. If you like matcha a lot, then this is the perfect place to go! Cashier was very nice & cute too!

I stopped by Matcha Zanmai in Montreal & ordered their Signature Zanmai parfait, which I understand is the same as their special series. It was topped with matcha ice cream, matcha jelly, azuki beans, shiratama mochi, & matcha sponge cake. The flavors were richly layered, deeply authentic matcha-not overly sweet, & beautifully presented.

• The parfait was visually elegant & deliciously balanced with chewy & creamy textures.
• Matcha flavor felt genuine & robust-exactly for real matcha fans.
• Small, inviting café with a warm vibe & helpful staff.

If you're a matcha enthusiast visiting Montreal, their special parfait is absolutely a must-try!
