Osmo X Marusan occupe un espace souterrain distinct défini par une esthétique industrielle et une atmosphère animée et résonnante. Le menu met en avant des en-cas d'inspiration japonaise comme le karaage croustillant et les sandwichs katsu savoureux accompagnés de tamago délicat. Une sélection de lattes au matcha et au hojicha propose des profils de thé profonds et terreux qui équilibrent les textures marquées des plats. L'établissement intègre une vaste terrasse extérieure qui contraste avec le design intérieur moderne et fermé. Des sélections musicales vibrantes remplissent l'espace, contribuant à l'environnement dynamique qui définit ce lieu de rencontre singulier. Ces éléments se combinent pour créer une expérience unique où l'architecture minimaliste rencontre des profils de saveurs traditionnels dans un cadre peu conventionnel.
Osmo X Marusan est un lieu très populaire au design unique à Montréal, mêlant une esthétique industrielle rappelant un bunker à une atmosphère sociale et animée. Les clients louent régulièrement la qualité exceptionnelle du matcha, des lattés au hojicha et du menu d'inspiration japonaise, notamment les divers sandwichs et plats de cari. Bien que beaucoup trouvent l'environnement parfait pour travailler ou socialiser, d'autres notent que l'espace peut devenir très bruyant et fréquenté, avec parfois des DJ qui ne conviennent pas à ceux cherchant le calme. Les avis sur le service et la constance de la nourriture sont partagés, certains trouvant les plats frais et délicieux tandis que d'autres les jugent fades ou les temps d'attente trop longs. Dans l'ensemble, l'endroit est considéré comme une destination branchée et mémorable pour ceux qui apprécient une expérience de café dynamique et artistique.
Tucked away in what almost feels like a hidden alley, Osmo x Marusan opens up into one of the coolest & most beautifully designed cafés I've visited. The modern interior is stunning, & once the sunlight hits the disco ball & reflects throughout the shared space, the atmosphere becomes something truly special. There's a reason there's always a line. The atmosphere for me is the biggest pull for this cafe.
We came early in the morning & tried the hojicha latte, matcha latte, the matcha with poured-over espresso, croissants, & both the chocolate & matcha cookies. The cookies were the standout from the pastry side-solid, satisfying, & definitely worth ordering. It's not seeet, right chewiness. The drinks were all very good, although I'd say Montreal already has many excellent cafés, so the beverages themselves weren't necessarily unique.
Another standout in this place is the overall experience from the crew, they were all fantastic-kind, welcoming, & genuinely helpful.
Brunch service starts at 11 AM, & we stayed to try the chicken katsu with rice & the pork katsu curry. Both bowls were crispy, tender, & beautifully executed. The biggest surprise was the chicken katsu: despite using breast meat, it was incredibly juicy & tender. They absolutely got it right. Topped it off with Hojicha tiramisu which felt good to seal off the appetite.
Taking everything into account-the food, drinks, service, & especially the atmosphere-this is easily one of the best café experiences I've had out of the hundreds that I've been to.
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!

C'est génial!!!! I love a place that unapologetically commits to a vibe. Don't get me started on the loud immaculate music, I LOVE IT. In a sea of the cookie cutter coffee shop, Osmo takes you underground...with a suspended disco ball & delicious lattes & food. I dunno why people bother describing food when yall have mouths & tongues. Don't take my word for it, give your mouth & senses a gift.
A couple who I met at a bar tipped us off that this is the spot blowing up on IG. Apparently, there's a pretty cool underground cocktail lounge, but we just stuck around for the cafe.
Not sure why, but I almost always defaulted to iced when it comes to matcha & hojicha lattes. I honestly can't remember the last time I ordered one hot, so it was just nice to switch it up & taste something different. Nothing special but still a really solid cup.
The Tamago Sando was fantastic though. Wished the kitchen hadn't forgotten the smoked salmon I added, but even without, it was great. A perfectly fried jammy egg, cracked pepper, & Mornay sauce. Not the traditional Japanese Kewpie mayo route, but this fusion with French Mornay sauce based on béchamel base loaded with Emmental cheese, gave the whole thing a nice savory boost.
Osmo is definitely a different spot in Montreal & worth trying at least once. I had never seen a coffee shop with Japanese food like this, so the concept alone made it a fun experience.
I really loved the salmon cucumber sandwich, & the miso soup was also very good. Next time I want to try their famous tamago sando. The ambiance is unique & the place feels lively, but it was quite loud & very busy around midday.
The only thing that disappointed me a bit was the drink. I ordered an iced caramel matcha coconut latte with extra sweetener, but I honestly didn't taste much flavor & it didn't taste sweet either. The matcha was just okay for me.
Also good to know: the entrance is a bit hidden, & you can enter from Clark Street.
Overall, it was a nice & different experience, especially for the food & ambient.
Très bon café:) jaime beaucoup le dirth chai latté glacé!!
Bouffe simple mais de bons choix & savoureux.
À noter que c'est un café comptoir donc il n'y a pas de service aux tables.
Très belle place!!
Been wanting to come here for a while & it did not disappoint. It is the perfect place to grab a quick lunch & study while you're at it. However it is a bit noisy so i would not recommend studying here if you get distracted easily.
The food & drinks were amazing! I like their hojicha latte & the curry rice the most but all their other options are amazing as well.
