Such a unique & delicious ice cream spot! We tried the Matcha Brownie with Matcha Vanilla Swirl, & it was delicious. My boyfriend was especially impressed! The red bean wasn't really our favorite, but that's just because it isn't our personal taste, not because there was anything wrong with it. The ice cream itself was excellent: rich, creamy, & full of flavor. We'd definitely come back to try more options!!

Très mauvais service. Aucun sourire, aucun bonjour, & mon biscuit a été jeté sur le comptoir. J'ai laissé 15 % de pourboire malgré tout. Très déçu.

Probably the best matcha I've tried in Montreal. The matcha seemed good quality. We also got the kinoko latte which was nice.
