Hear me out, Best. Matcha. In. Town. If you want a simple matcha with authentic flavours, that's the place. Simple & effective. I also purchase their matcha powder pretty often. Mochis are nice, but mille crepes are the best, these are my pet peeves, do hard to resist. Baristas are the nicest, they welcome you when you enter & greet you when you leave. Great spot.

Begin with the ceremonial matcha, then treat yourself to the matcha cornet. For matcha in Montreal, it does not get much better than this.

Une visite vraiment mémorable sur la rue Mackay. La qualité des produits est absolument irréprochable & le service est rapide.

J'ai eu un coup de coeur pour la crème glacée au matcha. Le petit carré de gâteau servi avec apporte une texture parfaite. C'était un plaisir gourmand très équilibré.

Leur pâtisserie fine, avec ses petites pointes de crème joliment travaillées, est aussi une réussite totale. Je reviendrai sans hésiter pour tester le reste de la sélection.

Very good but wondering how many grams of matcha or caffeine in each product. Maybe I'm more sensitive but I had the matcha slush with a matcha floater , colour was very dark & the flavour was very strong, but I couldn't sleep at all that night.

YUMMYYY! This place really hits the spot on hot summer days. I recommend the signature parfait. It has a little bit of everything at a good price. Seating is a bit limited, but the decorations are super cute. The staff members are extremely courteous.
