Review Summary

Osmo X Marusan is widely recognized for its unique industrial bunker-style aesthetic, beautiful natural lighting, and vibrant, music-heavy atmosphere that attracts a steady stream of students and socializers. The café is frequently praised for its high-quality matcha, hojicha lattes, and Japanese-inspired menu, with many patrons highlighting the egg and katsu sandwiches as satisfying highlights. While the interior design and overall vibe are consistently described as a major draw, experiences vary regarding food consistency, wait times, and noise levels. Some visitors find the portions small or the flavors mild, while others appreciate the fresh ingredients and cozy terrace. Despite occasional reports of slow service or crowded conditions, many guests consider it a must-visit destination in Montreal for its stylish environment and distinctive drink offerings.

This is a great spot to go eat some Japanese inspired dishes as a snack or a full meal. Such a beautiful place. Tried the curry, the tamago sando, the katsu sando & the karaage. The bread was a little bit too sweet for my taste but was pretty balanced in the sandwiches overall. The katsu sando's piece of work was really though to eat, it did not seem to be tenderized in any way. The karaage was exceptional as was the curry.

What's not to love? The tamago sando is a thing of beauty. The strawberry sandwiches are delicious (weekends only). The hojicha latte is zen in a cup. Yes, it's somewhat pricey, but much cheaper than a flight to Japan. My only complaint would be that the space has been taken over by the laptop crowd who sit, one to a table, taking much of the available space.

Such a cool spot somewhat secluded from the hectic city vibes. I also got lunch here which was the vegan curry bowl but was too hungry & didn't take a picture. Was Coffee was so good. Wasn't too impressed with the pastries though. Mostly cause my expectations were really high. But generally I give this place a high rating & would definitely go back!

Hojicha latte was great, flavorful & mildly sweet. The pork katsu curry portion was super generous, the katsu is thick & juicy. The matcha cookie was a perfect blend of green tea & milky flavor.
