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.
the yuzu matcha was delicious & refreshing!! the tonkatsu soba was rich & full of umami 🥰 lovely service & super cozy interior that's good for studying/working. def visiting again to try out the desserts 🥹💕
Absolutely loved this place! Visited the restaurant last week, & oh boy - I must say, they serve the best matcha in town. From the moment I walked in, I was amazed by the variety of matcha-infused desserts on the menu. Their matcha-flavored cakes were heavenly - rich, balanced, & full of authentic matcha goodness. I haven't tried the matcha tiramisu yet, but it's definitely on my list for next time. If you're a matcha lover, this spot is an absolute must-visit!
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!

Had a fantastic time at this Japanese spot! The food was top-notch, & the ice cream was absolutely divine - creamy, flavorful, & utterly delicious! Can't wait to go back & try more! 🍜🍦
Cosy coffee/matcha shop. Casual talking to friends & passing time with amazing pastry & drinks. The cakes were all amazing & fluffy & light, not too sweet.
This place is going head to head with closeby competitor Matcha Zanmai, with similar offerings centering around Matcha & Hojicha. Tsujiri does have a larger menu with some other items not found at Zanmai however. It also offers more seating for customers, which is especially useful for the cold months. I went for the matcha ice cream & was satisfied with the texture & flavour of the dessert. I'm not a fanatic of Matcha but definitely appreciate it.
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.
