Overall, Oishi Bar à Matcha comes across as a welcoming and relaxing spot with a wide range of matcha drinks, tasty desserts, and a cozy boutique vibe; the tea quality impresses, staff are friendly and attentive, and the calm atmosphere makes it easy to unwind, with helpful explanations of the different teas and several vegan options noted; favorites include sesame mochi, matcha brownies and the matcha yuzu treats, hojicha latte, and soft serve, while a few reviewers felt some drinks or desserts were not the best in the city, portions for the price could be smaller, or some items were seen as overpriced or a bit bitter, yet many say they will return to enjoy the overall experience and reliable service.
I tried their matcha latté (hot) & it was delicious! Its the type of matcha latté that i would suggest to people who never had matcha before : its not super strong & bitter but not a big cup of milk either. The flavor was rich & very pleasant to drink. I could see myself drink this everyday.
The barista was nice & polite. The café is cute & well situated.
Absolutely loved this spot! The hojicha iced latte was delicious, rich, smooth, & refreshing. The atmosphere is charming & cozy, with so many beautiful, unique items for sale that add to the overall experience. A perfect blend of great drinks & a cute boutique vibe. Highly recommend for matcha lovers or anyone looking for a relaxing café experience.

A cozy & tranquil teahouse offering a wide selection of Japanese desserts, matcha drinks, tea blends, & tea-making accessories. We tried the iced matcha latte & matcha yuzu-both were decent, though not the best we have had in the city. That said, the relaxing atmosphere & extensive menu make it worth a second visit. We are looking forward to trying the desserts & hot drinks next time. A lovely little discovery, & we also picked up some beautiful tea accessories to bring home.
Went to Oishi Bar a Matcha with my foodie friend & had a very special experience, we tried a variety of drinks & desserts, the grand cru (grand raw) matcha - award winning was good but I find overpriced, it's good but I guess it's too bitter for most people. & we tried the latte, my friend had the Taiwanese cream, & I tried the Sakura latte (with sencha), which were not outstanding, but the cups & saucers were pretty. We didn't enjoy the macarons so much, because they were too dry & hard, flavor-wise it's not wow neither. However, we really enjoyed the volcano cake, gateau fondant- hojicha & matcha, they were so good! The texture of the melting inside of the cake was really amazing, yummm, & the presentation was cute too, with sprinkle of gold. The interior decor is too much, I prefer something simpler, less cups, less teapots, less products, visually I was so overloaded & saturated. Would recommend this place for matcha lovers
It was a absolute incredible experience going there ! It was a place I've been wanting to go for a long long time now maybe about a year now but never took the time to do so until today ! (May 9 2024) The service, the atmosphere & the vibe is very a friendly & cozy ambiance, it's a absolute yes for me if I want to study/ stay in a quiet environnement 🫶 I tried a special drink dessert icecream with soy milk inside & it wasn't not too sweet & refreshing which was perfect for me!! ☆♡ Incredible decor inside, it has a lot of varieties of tea bags, goodies, tea set perfect for gifts 🎁,matcha drink, dessert, whenever hot or cold format including non dairy option & will definitely come back again when I'm craving to drink some matcha 😋🍵
Always enjoy getting my matcha latte & hojicha latte fix at The Guru. The staff are knowledgeable in my specific requests for teas that will help my clients (I am a massage therapist) sleep better, get through menopause, boost immune system, etc etc. Dishes & presentation of yummy snacks & drinks 🍵 are very cute 🥰 🌸 Lots of teaware to choose from....
