Excellent soft serve! The vanilla soft serve was a bit icy, but the matcha was exceptionally smooth.

Le parfait au brownie est excellent : on sent bien le gout du matcha dans la glace & c'est pas trop sucré !

Very unpleasant experience. The door is extremely unstable & slams shut very quickly. It hurt my foot when I walked in, & on the way out it slammed into my husband's elbow, leaving a big scratch & making him drop his phone.
Instead of fixing the issue, they just put a small note saying'watch your step.' Clearly a safety hazard.
The matcha itself is ok

best matcha in town!!! 🍵😙🤤 we come back almost everyday for our matcha latte & dessert!! we might have tried all the desserts & cakes on display & our favourites are definitely the matcha parfait (zanmai signature), ichigo azuki mochi & matcha chocolate cake🫶 we loved their matcha bavarois too (japan week special!!)

they also have the loveliest staff & their space is so cozy & welcoming✨ unfortunately we are leaving montreal soon & won't be able to come daily anymore 😭 so we're trying to mass eat & drink all the sweet treats offered by them before we leave :(

if you're passing by definitely give this place a try!!! 😚

Si vous aimez le matcha, je vous conseille fortement d'aller visiter Matcha Zanmai. Il est situe en plein Centre-Ville de Montreal (pres du metro Guy Concordia ligne verte), Il a un menu avec une grande variete de boissons & desserts qui sont infuses & prepares avec la base du the vert matcha. Les places sont limitees alors mieux de poser votre commande pour emporter. Merci du bel accueil & service de l'equipe. Au plaisir, Missy A.
