Lovely tea bar with a relaxed vibe & wide range of tea for sale. We tried the matcha & hojicha floats, they were delicious! Love that there's a vegan option. The soft serve is smooth & not overly sweet. Can't wait to return & try their other offerings!
Matcha latte is so good, i was so happy to find this gem in Montreal. Lots of matcha snack options like chocolate bars, mochi( tried the yuzu & matcha mochi, yummy, not too sweet 😉) , especially lots of tea accessories as shown
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
Been here couple of times as their matcha latte is extraordinary! Creamy, tasty & in great portion. Their hojicha lava cake need to wait 15 minutes for it but it's worth the wait. Not only matcha, they have another menu with great variety of teas. Definitely a nice place for tea lovers. They also sell a lot of different tea leaves from different area & a lot of tea pots & tea cups in different designs.
Thés Guru is a gem. The vibe is wonderfu, the tea delicious & the service is kind. My only complaint is that the music is permanently set to " Ghibli piano playlist" & will cycle the same 4 songs at infinite. Please try some different music or Japanese jazz albums 🙇♂️. Ryo Fukui, maybe?
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 😋🍵
My favorite thing about this place is their green tea ice cream. Miam. Small tiny place so you might have to wait on a weekend afternoon. I found the matcha latte a bit watery but the tea fan I was with was satisfied.
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....
It was the first time I ate in Thés Guru, I usually go there to replenish my collection of favorite teas, & it was a very pleasant experience. When you order a traditional tea it comes with a thermos pitcher of hot water to add to your pot of tea & a sweet to go with your tea. They also have a nice selection of Asian sweets. They also have a vast selection of teas & the owner is very knowledgeable. They offer workshops from time to time as well. I really enjoyed my visit.
