MATCHA ZANMAI se concentre sur l'utilisation de thé vert de qualité cérémonielle intégré dans une variété de desserts spécialisés. La carte propose des crèmes glacées onctueuses, des parfaits en couches et des crêpes délicates qui mettent en valeur le profil terreux distinct de la poudre de matcha de qualité supérieure. Les clients choisissent parmi divers niveaux d'intensité de thé, permettant une expérience culinaire personnalisée centrée sur les profils de saveurs traditionnels japonais. Au-delà des offres au matcha, l'établissement propose une sélection de douceurs complémentaires conçues pour équilibrer l'amertume naturelle du thé avec une sucrosité raffinée. L'esthétique intérieure minimaliste sert de toile de fond fonctionnelle à la présentation vert vif de chaque assiette de dessert. Chaque article est préparé à la commande en utilisant des ingrédients authentiques pour maintenir l'intégrité constante des saveurs dans toutes les catégories de desserts proposées.
Matcha Zanmai est largement reconnu comme une destination de choix pour le matcha de haute qualité à Montréal, recevant des éloges pour ses profils de saveurs authentiques, riches et terreuses, sans être trop sucrés. Les visiteurs recommandent fréquemment leur glace molle signature au matcha, leurs parfaits variés ainsi que leur vaste sélection de lattés et de pâtisseries, notant souvent que l'expérience rivalise avec celles vécues au Japon. Bien que l'établissement soit souvent décrit comme étant petit et parfois achalandé, la plupart des clients trouvent que le service amical et professionnel ainsi que la qualité supérieure des ingrédients justifient largement la visite, en faisant un lieu incontournable tant pour les amateurs de matcha de longue date que pour les curieux.
This is a scam, I ordered Matcha latte & they only filled the cup with half the matcha. It's quite pricey for half a matcha & it does not taste good, there is enough matcha powder, but not enough milk. Although the cakes look good, I do not recommend it.
Very good matcha flavor profile in their ice-cream. Had the Zanmai Signature Parfait but the portion was way too much for me, i was a fan of the matcha cake inside & the azuki, however the shiratama lacked a little of taste for me. Not a fan of jelly in general so the matcha jelly was not my favorite. However! If you like to try different texture it is a good pick. Very sad about the interior of the café, few seating available & the decor is well, lacking, & a lot of boxes everywhere. Be aware they do not have bathrooms. I would recommend taking a snack there & walking a bit to a nearby park or square to enjoy. Very enjoyable to have such great tasting Matcha available!

The place is small but everything looks really good. The matcha mochi is soft & really good as well as matcha soft ice cream & the Zinmai signature: azuki, matcha jelly, shiratama & matcha cake. The staff are all 😊 smiles.
Lovely place in Montreal🫶🏻
Great matcha snacks🍵 on McKay & St. Catherine, downtown location cakes, ice-cream & drinks
Recommend this place for every season, including winter ❄?
sweet vibes
I'm a regular at this place, the ice cream is delicious - big fan of the matcha ice cream with matcha cake (#17). I also highly recommend their mochi matcha, matcha cookies & chocolate matcha cookies with sea salt (trust me they are delicious).
The matcha latte is also amazing, just don't expect it to be extra sweet, if you have been drinking matcha for a while it will be great, if not I suggest to add a sweetener.
The service is also great, they are polite & friendly ☺?
Phenomenal ice cream & customer service, we visited about x4 within 2 days. The ice cream ACTUALLY tastes like matcha, The flavour of the matcha is strong, rich & earthy, not too sweet. The ice cream is smooth & just melts in your mouth, & the toppings…😩😩😩 I got the signature parfait everytime & the mochi, cake, jelly & red bean went together so well. The only thing is that seating is very limited & the location is very busy so beware, other than that we loved this place so much we would find every opportunity to hit it up during our short trip💚
I stopped by Matcha Zanmai in Montreal & ordered their Signature Zanmai parfait, which I understand is the same as their special series. It was topped with matcha ice cream, matcha jelly, azuki beans, shiratama mochi, & matcha sponge cake. The flavors were richly layered, deeply authentic matcha-not overly sweet, & beautifully presented.
• The parfait was visually elegant & deliciously balanced with chewy & creamy textures.
• Matcha flavor felt genuine & robust-exactly for real matcha fans.
• Small, inviting café with a warm vibe & helpful staff.
If you're a matcha enthusiast visiting Montreal, their special parfait is absolutely a must-try!
