Had a great experience with the staff! They made me rediscover matcha, they listened to my concerns about my first experience & helped me find one I truly enjoyed! Safe to say I'm a matcha girly noww 🍵🌸
Surprised people are giving this place a one star. First of all, the owner is an absolute sweetheart. He's very knowledgable, smart & open minded. Shoutout to you if you read this! Yeah, the food can be unlikeable to some, like personally i find the matcha cheese cake a bit muddy & not too sweet, but their drinks are top tier. They clearly thought it through. This place is an experience.
To be honest, I was quite disgusted & didn't really appreciate the food I ordered with my friend.
We ordered a mango matcha latte, a honey hojicha, & their ube basque cheesecake.
Overall, the taste ranged from bad to mediocre. The matcha really lacked flavor, it wasn't strong enough & gave off a watery, metallic taste. It was too diluted, & only the mango purée helped make it a tad bit sweeter. The same goes for the hojicha, the presence of hojicha was barely there, as it was also too diluted by the milk.
The ube basque cheesecake was really weird. Although the color was popping & pretty, the ube flavor was not present at all. It tasted more like a normal, ordinary traditional cheesecake. It feels like they just added food coloring for aesthetic purposes while ignoring the true taste of ube.
It has a lot of potential for improvement.
Qualité des produits vraiment médiocre. Le thé vert goûte le moisi (couleur d'additif de colorant vert) aucun goût de thé. Le café carrément de l'eau coloré. Les petits gâteaux à chacun son goût.
Déception totale 😩
Yesterday, my friend & I decided to visit a newly opened establishment that appeared promising. Unfortunately, the experience proved to be unsatisfactory. We ordered the mango matcha, honey hojicha, & ube basque cheesecake. The beverages lacked distinct flavor, & the cheesecake did not meet our expectations for a quality dessert.
I just tried this place today & i loved it!! The lychee matcha latte is so delicious, they have such a cool menu with so many options. Their matcha mochi was very good too. Veryyyy good service too! I'll definitely be back
INCREDIBLE MATCHA! The owner is such a kind, genuine person. Everything is high quality, absolutely delicious my husband & I come almost daily. They have outstanding cheesecakes, my favorite is the ube cake. Mochis, & ice cream mochis. If you are in the West Island it's a MUST TRY, especially for their matcha, or Houjicha
My favourite spot at Fairview Pointe-Clair. Never miss an opportunity to go there & grab a hot drink with delicious cake &/or mochi. Love being there. No photos: Once I have my dessert on the plate it disappears in seconds in my mouth :D
Many thanks to owners & staff for this unusual place & original menu, I am bored of croissants though I like them too:)
