TSUJIRI was founded in 1860 by Riemon Tsuji who was renowned for his spirit of “YUWA”, meaning "continue to innovate and sustain the tradition". His statue was built in Kyoto, Japan to honor his contribution to the Japanese tea industry. Mr. Tsuji has refined the cultivation of Gyokuro (the highest grade of Japanese green tea) and his method is still being used to this day. He is also the inventor of the tea box that preserves the longevity and freshness of the tea leaves during transportation, making fresh tea from Kyoto available to other Japanese cities a century ago. In 2010, CHAHO, which means tea shop in Japanese, was first established outside of Japan to carry on our founder’s spirit and to serve fresh tea to our customers worldwide.
Reviews about Tsujiri Montreal highlight strong authentic matcha across drinks, desserts and ice cream, with many calling it one of the best matcha spots in town and praising the rich balanced flavor, the range of beverages including lattes and plant based milks, and the dessert lineup from parfaits to mochi and green tea cakes. The menu is noted for its variety, including ramen and green tea udon options in some mentions, and the interior described as stylish, calm, and with ample seating that makes it a good place to study or catch up with friends. Pricing is mixed with some items seen as expensive but many reviewers feel the quality justifies it, and portions are often generous. Service is generally described as friendly and professional, though a rare negative experience with staff is noted. The atmosphere can be busy and noisy at peak times, and a few reviews mention occasional inconsistency in drink sweetness or dessert quality. Overall Tsujiri Montreal is frequently recommended for matcha lovers and is viewed as a reliable destination for both beverages and sweets with a welcoming setting.
I like the atmosphere of this place. I've been here a couple times & its usually packed so there can be a little wait for seating. The matcha is very strong & not too sweet, but it is a little pricey. After tax I paid a little over $10 for a matcha latte, but it is very tasty. The dessert is good as well. I also love that there is free wifi & outlets to charge your devices. Next time im definitely trying their ice cream!
The Azuki matcha latte was so good that I immediately ordered a second as soon as I finished. I am looking forward to coming back soon to try more items on the menu!

I like the interior design, very fancy decor. Service was polite, welcoming & professional. I ordered an iced matcha latte. I was asked if I wanted regular sugar & responded yes. Unfortunately I didn't taste any sweetener, only matcha which was a shame. Compared to the other matcha cafes nearby, this iced matcha latte is a bit more expensive. I do appreciate that they didn't put too much ice since I tend to drink them fast.
My go-to place for Matcha or Hojicha lattes. Their unagi dashe is so good & I've had too many to count. Ambiance is really nice too, & the staff always super professional, calm & helpful. Would so, so recommend.
This cafe is a famous matcha brand in Japan. I ordered tiramisu & hojicha latte. The sponge of the tiramisu was very dry & hard, so it's not tasty. I didn't really taste the matcha, so I don't recommend it. The hojicha latte had a refreshing hojicha aroma, but it might be better to buy it yourself on Amazon or make it yourself using hojicha powder from another matcha shop. It's a good place to relax when you're feeling a bit tired after walking around downtown.
I had high expectations when a friend recommended this place, but unfortunately, I left very disappointed. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt disorganized & unwelcoming, their terrace was a mess, the staff didn't seem engaged or happy to be there. The display was poorly stocked (only two dessert options available at 1pm). I ordered an iced matcha latte that was decent, but my friend's drink, which was supposed to be lightly sweetened, came out far too sweet. Overall, not the experience I was hoping for.

While staying in Montreal for 3 days, we've visited Tsujiri 3 times because we enjoyed the Hojicha that much! The Softserve was creamy! The Latte refreshing! Wished they had one here in Philly!
This was our go-to spot for good-quality matcha. The matcha shiratama parfait & matcha latte were rich in flavour. Not too sweet. The lighting in the place was a bit dark for our taste in terms of ambience, but overall, it was a 10/10 for anything matcha-related.
Ordered their signature parfait & matcha latte. Their matcha quality is ok not too great. Their parfait was disappointing for the price. Specially when you are just one block away from Matcha Zanmai. I think they need to up their game with the quality of the matcha & the parfaits. Their atmosphere & seating arrangements were good.

Amazing food: dishes, desserts & drinks. We loved it so much we came every day during our stay in Montreal. Service was great, especially the man with glasses who was very kind & attentive. We wish we could come back, but sadly we live in another continent.
