Les avis sur Osmo X Marusan soulignent un endroit vivant et prisé des étudiants, avec une esthétique moderne et japonaise et une ambiance propice au travail sur ordinateur et aux rencontres; la musique et la fréquentation peuvent être très fortes, ce qui convient à certains et peut gêner ceux qui cherchent le calme pour étudier; les sandos tamago et karaage, ainsi que le katsu et le curry, reviennent fréquemment en tête, accompagnés de boissons comme le matcha latte, le hojicha latte ou la yuzu lemonade, et plusieurs évoquent le goût et la texture comme des points forts, certains parlant du matcha comme exceptionnel, d’autres le trouvant plus ordinaire ou trop sucré selon les préparations; le service oscille entre attentif et chaleureux et parfois lent ou inégal, avec des retards ou des plats manquants lors des heures d’affluence; l’espace intérieur et la terrasse bénéficient d’un design attractif et d’un cadre agréable pour travailler ou se détendre, mais l’affluence et le bruit peuvent limiter le confort et le calme recherché; au final, Osmo X Marusan est perçu comme une expérience distincte et energique, offrant des sandos et des boissons qui valent le détour, tout en imposant patience et tolérance au volume sonore et aux éventuels temps d’attente.
Super delicious coffee & vegan croissants that melt in my mouth. I love their morning special! Really friendly & nice stuff & excellent service. The space itself is trendy & buzzing with good vibes :)
Really loved this cafe. Super fun, youthful vibe - kind of like a school cafeteria during lunch, but way better.
Great variety of food, from healthy options to more indulgent stuff. Everything was delicious.
Would definitely come back.👍👍👍
We had heard about @osmo_x_marusan for years-whispered recommendations, glowing hype, forced influncer stories. A reputation that promises revelation. So when we finally went, our first thought was genuinely:'Did we even go to the right place?'
It quickly became clear that this is a café people come to experience, not necessarily to eat. The hipster-industrial aesthetic is immaculate, concrete, like you're going to a café in that club scene from'The Matrix.' It feels engineered more for Instagram stories & long study sessions than for anyone in pursuit of a truly satisfying meal. The space seems tailored to university students with laptops & deadlines, not diners with expectations.
The food, unfortunately, didn't rise to the myth. The tamago sando came with a strange, béchamel-adjacent sauce that felt both unnecessary & confusing. The karaage leaned heavily into grease without the payoff of crispness or depth, & the bread-for both sandwiches-was simply wrong, missing that soft, pillowy integrity you hope for. The yuzu lemonade? Perfectly fine-but unmistakably just lemonade, not even sure why they use the word'Yuzu.' Not even a faint taste of it.
Ironically, the most enjoyable part of the visit was the Osmo fog-visually delightful, theatrically effective, & perhaps the clearest expression of what this place does best.
We left full, yes, but not satisfied. At all.
@osmo_x_marusan is a café where the vibe works overtime, while the food quietly clocks out early. A place worth seeing once-but hard to crave again, once the fog clears.
I have been to this place with my boyfriend, we had the famous egg sandwich, tea & coffee! Everything was delicious, the ambiance is soo fun! I came back last week for the Christmas market & again, the vibes are immaculate 💓
Beautiful place serving quality drinks & food for a good price. Nice staff, really unique vibe. However, it is super crowded all the time so keep that in mind & come
early!
Really interesting looking place, the vibes are so cool. Definitely targeted to a younger university-aged crowd though. Also very loud at times. There's a dB meter that helps you keep track at least.
Osmo is a perfect vibey place to chill & study on a rainy day….. their matcha is the BEST in town & I love that it isn't clumpy & oversweet like other places in the city that serve matcha. Also everyone that works here is a beautiful angel…. I come here a lot & have never gleaned a bad vibe. Just perfection! They will make ur day😁💓💓💓
found this little spot in a TikTok video I was sent. pleasantly surprised! Kinda hard to find at first.
We had a matcha & a coffee, around 15-20$ for both. love the vibes, alot of students, & some good background music (music that was a little too loud?) other than that, no other gripes. just a cool place to visit if you want to see something different in Montreal :)
Immaculate vibes
The matcha is, indeed, a must in mtl
The space is so nice & inviting, but people KNOW SO IT'S PACKED
if you manage to find space pls go!
++++ cause the staff is so nice

We got to osmo right before the rush. My hojicha latte was delicious. Would love to go back to try their sandwiches. Great vibe in there & lovely garden patio.
Young cool hip vibe. This place was a club or a music venue before turning into a cafe? Serving Japanese street dishes, along with specialty drinks. Very popular, & line can be long, but large outdoor seating can accommodate many customers.
The vibe of the place is nice & the food's good. But one of the servers made the experience uncomfortable. Imagine this place came highly recommended by peers & it's your first meal of the day, but the service ends up leaving you frustrated.
Exquisite cafe: the food, the drinks, the vibes. Will be thinking about the egg sando for a while - it's just so perfectly jammy with the right amount of kick with the side of hot sauce. Matcha also deserves a shoutout: you can tell that it's higher quality matcha. Would definitely come try some of their other sandwiches & drinks again! Also worth noting that you can't order the sandwiches until 11AM.
Loved the vibe & atmosphere so much. It felt chill but they also had a dj there. The place is kinda located in a hidden spot with a weird entrance gate however as soon as you walk past the gate, it's so cool. The food & drinks were also good!
The tamago sando (egg salad sandwich) looks better than it tastes. The concept of a scotch egg in a sandwich sounds cool but the execution was a bit underwhelming. It does not tasted bad but it's also quite forgettable. The mayo is def not what you typically get in a Japanese style sandwich, tasted quite bland & greasy. I think they still has potential, will prob go again to give the chicken & Katsu sando a try
The vibe was cool but def don't expect it to be quiet
