Great Japanese cafe in the city. The matcha is strong, smooth & umami. Many alternative milk options as well. We got the egg sando & katsu curry. I really loved the curry & the portion was a proper meal size, it looks smaller in photos 😅 The egg sando was also good but, more of a quick/light bite since the bottom half of the sandwich is just mayo ahah. Either way, a must visit for good matcha!!

Before 11AM & when the lunch menu isnt available, the cafe is pretty much empty. But, afterwards it fills up quick. I'd recommend heading there slightly early, like 10min before if you want to get a table with friends or want to work there. Otherwise, there is a ton of seating!

Very happy with my experience here. Seats by the wall have plugs for remote working & the staff are super friendly. It gets pretty busy during lunch & their sandwichs (which i did not have) looks phenomenal!

Highly recommended location.

The building & entrance is hard to spot. There's a nice industrial vibe inside. The matcha is weak & powdery I would not recommend. Coffee was 10/10. The egg sandwich was delicious with deep fried breaded jammy boiled eggs. Keep in mind the kitchen does not open until 11 am if you're going for the sandwich. I would go back for the coffee & egg sandwich.

On m'avait recommandé la place. Super sympa & unique! Les sandwiches sont excellentes & les boissons à la hauteur des attentes. Le service n'est pas le plus rapide avant le gros rush du midi. La terrasse extérieur est un have de paix dans la ville. Je recommande!

I only wanted a quick brunch item, so I swung by for the Tamago Sando after a wait of 10 min to order.

I actually liked the industrial vibe of the cafe, matching many of buildings & stations in Montreal, brightened up with the skylights & disco ball. There was more table space than expected from reviews, & I would def come back to work here.

Unfortunately, the Tamago Sando was just okay. It was a bit bland, nothing I'd strongly recommend to others. I didn't try the drinks this time around though.
