one of the better matcha drinks i've had in canada so far. the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk was so so good! if i didn't come 10 min before closing i would are ordered another one for the road! the yuzu limeade was refreshing & actually had great yuzu flavor & pulp. most yuzu drinks i've had at other places don't have a strong flavor but this one hit the spot. highly recommend this cafe!!
Le Matcha Yuzu Cloud est absolument délicieux & d'une onctuosité parfaite ! Je dirais que c'est la version façon tiramisu japonais. Quant à la tartine, elle rappelle un pain brioché au bon goût de beurre : la garniture, bien équilibrée avec une touche de mayo, de moutarde de Dijon, de délicates câpres & de l'oignon vert, est tout simplement savoureuse!
Very cute spot, didn't get anything but their matcha, they don't make it the traditional way it was a little disappointing 6.5/10 for the matcha latte (not the best, but I have seen worse). Their food looks very good, I'd have to go back to try it. Their table have a sign that says that we can't study there, but still there were people studying after the lunch'rush'. Nice café!

I was delighted to see reviews like Tastet praise this incredible Japanese coffee shop!
Let's give a breakdown of each aspect of the coffee shop:
Food: From the Mazemen to their ramens, there is a little bit of everything! Their kitchen usually opens at 10:30 am EST. This does not mean that you shouldn't pass by!
In fact, the whole point of this review is to explain how good the coffee & the food are !
I am quite the cortado lover & it is incredible how they are able to take such care of each coffee. Their matcha is definitely worth it & I would invite everyone to give this a go! One of my favorite coffee shops in Montreal is September café because of their consistency & each barista being skilled with making precisely every kind of coffee. This is a coffee shop that is quite close in terms quality of coffee that September café makes.
Which brings me to the food! This is such a delight & it feels like I've gone back to Japan all over again! Rich, comforting! Their dishes are something that I can continue eating all day long especially the mazemen. I strongly recommend trying each of their dish!
Atmosphere: calm, welcoming, peaceful & beautiful! This is the kind of coffee shop that makes you want to stay long hours & enjoy the vibrant & serene place! This is feels like a coffee shop in Copenhagen.
Service: this is where they stand out from most! Incredibly kind, caring & focus, each coffee & meal is being cared for. The owner is incredibly kind & knowledgeable when it comes to coffee (grains, technique & other topics). This is the kind of coffee shop where I would love a James Hoffman to pass by & drink their coffee.
I strongly recommend this Japanese coffee shop!
If you don't believe me, I invite you to read up on food critics like Tastet to see what they think! 😄
Excellent service pour take out . Prix du petit matcha à près de 7$ avec taxes très moyen ..Pour la moitié de ce prix à 1 coin de rue sur la même rue vous en trouverez un bien meilleur sans parler du café ou des excellent croissant au saint Louis café . A bon entendeur !
I got the matcha yuzu lemonade & the katsu sando. I loved the lemonade, perfectly refreshing. But my sandwich was mostly fat & not meat which was disappointing. & I saw a chunk of red in there as well. I'm sure it's just a mistake, so I'm willing to try the restaurant again but not really open to giving the katsu another go. :(
A wide variety of set menu items & a constantly changing menu of refreshing specials, with an addition of great coffee, matcha & hojicha lattes. Delicious food, great atmosphere & a beautiful, bright location. On the menu: • Lamb Mazemen: Pulled lamb, black sesame paste, green onions • Soba Tanuki: Ikura, daikon, wakame, shiso • Tamago Sando with Mimolette cheese • Large salad: Green mix, orange, beets, onion vinaigrette (This is a side dish version.) • Yuzu lemonade Instagram: @ohayocafemtl
