Osmo X Marusan apparaît comme un café branché et animé au centre de Montréal, avec une ambiance dynamique, un excellent café et une sélection notable de matcha et hojicha latte, ainsi que des sando japonais créatifs tels que tamago et karaage, et des curry bowls; l'espace et la terrasse offrent un cadre agréable pour étudier ou traîner, et un moment DJ peut ajouter à l'atmosphère, mais l'endroit est souvent bondé et bruyant avec des files d'attente et des temps d'attente pour les plats, et certaines portions peuvent paraître petites ou manquer un peu d'assaisonnement, tandis que le service peut varier; dans l'ensemble, l'expérience met l'accent sur l'ambiance et les boissons et beaucoup de personnes disent revenir pour essayer d'autres sando.
Montreal gem!! amazing comforting food & a cozy vibe with good music playing always. perfect study spot, to catch up with friends or even just for a quick bite
Absolutely lovely, highly recommend. The music was a little maouder than what you'd expect from cafe background music, but that didn't bother me personally (the music was very cool)
Also shoutout to the one black barista, you have a very nice & smooth voice:)

great food & cool vibes but definitely not a good place to get work done. it's located semi'underground' & has cool steel decor. the sandos are delicious & their matcha lattes are some of the best in the city! It does get quite loud in the cafe & the music is usually pretty loud too. plenty of seating but not enough outlets if you plan on doing work. Would recommend for going for lunch or hanging out!
Good food / coffee. Excessive noise for a "café". They have huge amp speakers & they blast aggressive music up to a limit of 80 dB. For reference the legal limit for workplace noise is 85 dB. Above that, protective gear must be used. When asked to slightly reduce the sound, they refuse & point to their dB meter, arguing that it's under the 80 threshold. I left with a headache.
The space was very nice & food was good as well, it was super crowded but that's no fault on the cafes part. However the music was so incredibly loud it was a little annoying. I also unironically saw a small rat in the lobby.
The drinks were nice! But it was a bit too loud with the music & the tables were kinda small & unbalanced. Also, it's kinda hard to find sockets. However, the service was top, & overall it's a nice & quite affordable place to have a chill gathering & get some work done!

I had a green tea, hojicha latte & took a matcha latte for takeout. The green tea & the hojicha was good but nothing exceptional. What stood out to me was definitely the delicious iced matcha latte. It was not bitter & had a unique flavour, more inclined on the leafy side than the sweet/nutty side of matcha that I've grown accustomed to. Although most of my cup was filled in ice, I enjoyed every sip. Can't recommend the matcha latte enough. The employees are very nice but I was not a big fan of the metal tables & metal bench aesthetic. I felt like I was back in school with the wobbly metallic tables lol. It's also a bit noisy in there, from the many students & the music. I wish I had tried their food but kitchen was not open on the day I visited. The prices are also very good, around 5$ per drink. Still debating wether or not to return to this cafe.
the menu is small, but each of their picks are top-notch. love the atmosphere with musical selections being on point. be sure to enjoy the courtyard when the sun's out!

Extremely charming spot, good beverages, haven't tried the food but seems quite delicious. Music a tad loud so if you're looking for a quiet place I'd suggest elsewhere, otherwise definitely check it out!
The staff are always so nice, & they have an amazing variety of food & drinks. Would recommend their matcha, or any of their hot teas! Also, excellent music every single time I go. I've been introduced to so many new artists whenever I spend time there
Absolutely warm & upbeat atmosphere. This basement cafe is not afraid to show what its about in terms of decor & music. If its cold & dreary outside, you will feel rejuvenated from the coffee made specially by a barista who knows what he's doing; & feel at home after getting a nice & hot katsu curry. Compliment the DJ in the back, they're making sure your experience goes above & beyond. Highly recommend.
I'd suggest trying the karaage sando, but the tamago sando is quite overrated-it was pretty bland. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the matcha latte. The atmosphere was awesome, with R&B music adding a nice touch to the overall vibe.

Will come back again! Ambience 💯 very industrial & edgy, dark & bright at the same time. Dark enough that's laptop friendly 💻 , bright enough that you get sky view from skylights ☀️ Ordered an iced matcha latte 🍵 to start the day fresh, wish it could be bitter but good enough. 4.5/5 I had katsu curry for lunch, the skin is a bit overcooked & feel heavy but the inside meat very juicy & tender. I was hoping more curry in the bowl. & the bowl has a chip at the edge that's actually dangerous for the hands. 4/5 Background music might be a bit loud in the morning, some rock music was playing, I guess they want it to feel more hippy. But it can get even louder when more people come in later in the afternoon. There's outdoor patio to sit but limited seats available. 2hr max wifi connection per user per day. Overall a good place to take a break or having a sprint work/study session. Very friendly staff. Will come back again to try out the sando. Total spending + tip: $27 Overall 5/5
