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.
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.
adorable place to get matcha sweets & work on your assignments! the owner is super friendly & i've only had great experiences with the staff & the food!
only downside is that, while it has tons of seating places, the cafe gets crowded really fast & almost never has any free tables, so get there early!
Tsujiri is not known for soba & soup noodles, but still enjoyed it during a chilly day.
It is known for its matcha beverages. You can customize your beverages to your liking including for those who are lactose intolerant. Despite it being chilly, my GO-TO is the O-mathca ice blend! A good balance of matcha & ice for a savoury drink no matter the time of the year.
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.
It's amazing to have genuine Matcha in Montreal! Kitsune soba was hot & nice to have in a cold day. One point to improve was the fried tofu on the soba. It was hard & was not tasty. Said that I really enjoyed that place!
The salmon dashi chazuke taste wonderful. The tea is a little warm, wish to be hotter. Anything else is good. Highly recommend. The udon is a bit plain but it's alright.
