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.

came before the kitchen opened (at 11am) so we could only get croissants or cookies. the croissants were stale & clearly not fresh. have heard that their hot food is much better. on the other hand, the coffee was delicious. bonus points for being dog friendly!

Pretty chill spot, the guys in the cash register are very nice. For 4 people, it costs around 70$ (2 drinks).

Got the tamago sando, iced matcha & a cinnamon bun. Everything was delicious & reasonably priced. The space is very cool, industrial-modern, lots of plants & angles, & a dj spinning vinyl. I think it becomes a club at night?

Unique café/restaurant with very brutalist design. Baristas were friendly. I'd recommend their matcha & katsu curry.

Very good sandwiches, the chicken curry is a little bland but still good. The matcha & yuzu lemonades are delicious. Great ambiance & architecture. Nice terrace in the back.

The sandwich was better than what I expected! The bread is soooo good I wanted to ask where they get it but obviously they wouldn't tell us so I didn't bother asking hahaha the ambiance is also nice! Would definitely go back again :)

get the tamago sandos & curry!! the pickled veggies in the curry are my favorite part, & they really nailed all the components of a good tamago sando 🥚

We loved our drinks, both look & taste were great! The food looks awesome but they can definitely work on the taste (the curry sauce was the best part of the food) The atmosphere is great for working for long hours
