Matcha Zanmai is described as a cozy, small spot that specializes in authentic matcha and a wide range of desserts, drinks, mochi and ice cream, with many praising the strong true matcha flavor, creamy textures, and well balanced sweetness across items like parfaits, tiramisu, yuzu tartlette, mochi, and matcha cake. The staff are repeatedly friendly and efficient, contributing to a welcoming, quick service even when busy, though seating is limited and lines can form. Some notes point to higher prices for the portions and occasional hits and misses among menu items, but overall this Montreal destination is celebrated as a top pick for matcha lovers and worth multiple visits.
Anything is amazing!! Love the sodas with matcha. Yuzu or classic one! The matcha lattes are perfect & you get a good amount + quality for a fair price!!! I can't recommend more
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!

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 ! :)

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.
