Matcha Zanmai draws praise for authentic, high quality matcha across drinks, ice cream, mochi and a variety of desserts, with favorites like the Zanmai parfait, yuzu tartlette and matcha soft serve repeatedly highlighted. Reviewers describe the experience as cozy and welcoming, with staff described as friendly and efficient, though seating is limited and lines can be long during busy times. Prices are often noted as on the higher side but still considered fair for the quality and artistry of the matcha and toppings. A few notes mention that some drinks may be too sweet or not as strong as expected, and that decaf versions can cause stomach upset for some. Space is small, making takeout common, and the atmosphere is intimate rather than spacious, which suits matcha lovers looking for a quick treat. Overall, Matcha Zanmai is described as a must visit for matcha fans, delivering vibrant, earthy flavors and a range of textures across signature items.
Me encanta , es delicioso. Tristemente cuando quería pagar no me aceptaron mi pago, porque iba a pagar con un billete. Me dijeron que no aceptaban dinero en efectivo.
MUY MAL😓

We tried the hot matcha & hojicha latte & really liked it!! The taste & staff are super nice. Only the prices are a bit above average (12,65 $ for both drinks (without tip)) & they don't have toilets BUT we are really happy that we have finally tried this place!
I for sure recommend it to everybody (even to people who think that matcha tastes like spinach or grass - they might change their opinion here :))))
Always kind & smiling! I'm taking a detour to stop at Matcha Zanmai when I'm passing by Mtl. The best mochi ever! Matcha dessert are awesome too ! Never been disappointed! 🍵
The shop is small so it's more like a take out place but you can stay & enjoy your moment if there a free spot to sit!
I visited during a weekend in March & was immediately greeted with a warm smile & exceptional service.
After paying, I was pleasantly surprised when the same cashier brought our dessert to our table.
Needless to say, both the service & the food were a solid 5/5!

My favorite matcha place in all montreal, it's so creamy & delicious. The staff is so kind & always so friendly 💓 Try the matcha frappé with the flotteur (vanilla & matcha combine) its the best 💫
I'm not a fan of matcha, as the taste isn't quite right for me. HOWEVER, this place is amazing! The cakes are fantastic, & the service is always quick, polite, & cheerful. I absolutely loved the yuzu-it was really well done. Can't wait to try the ice cream next time!
