So this place is spacious, lots of seating area, and the decor? Wow! Just wow! I love it. Service was wonderful. I tried the black sesame latte with oat milk.

I have had strawberry, lavender, vanilla matcha cream form before in this shop or others. But, pistachio cream was the first time. Yes, it was very delicious! Staff recommend me to have this drink without straw, yes, It tasted better. I will do the same way. Matcha drink was just ok, I hope Matcha flavor was a bit more stronger. Overall, I enjoyed their drink. I will revisit to get other flavors.

The tomatoes were so soft and juicy... but also somehow impossible to squeeze through the straw So naturally, I ended up eating them all. No complaints though -- I LOVE basil! The Sparkling Tomato comes with your choice of matcha: Shizuoka -- bitter & earthy Kagoshima -- sweet & nutty Yame -- umami & rich I love how creative Mitchie Matcha is with their flavours. Tomato + basil + matcha might sound unusual, but it works and makes the drink really fun to try! Next time, I'm definitely going for the Salted Maple Matcha

I visited Whisk Matcha cafe for Nomsmag cherry blossom festival special item…read more What I got: Matcha no Haru Parfait Plant-based spring parfait with housemade strawberry jelly, coconut condensed milk, strawberry whip, matcha rice crispy squares, and matcha & sakura soft serve. Topped with a hand-piped sakura flower by Megu of M Tokyo Confectionery. I just want to say... It was sooo good! Matcha vanilla soft serve's matcha flavor was strong, very soft and creamy and so delicious. Then, Matcha rice crispy squares paired with soft serve so well. I could not really taste matcha from rice crispy, may be because I mixed with soft serve. And there were strawberry jelly, strawberry puree, and strawberry whip at the bottom. When I mixed together with soft serve and rice crispy, It is so addictive. This item was definitely one of the best item at this festival in 2026. Presentation was so beautiful. I really want to get it again. As usual , owner was very friendly and provided nice service, however, one staff attitude was not really pleasant.

I stopped by Whisk to try their limited-edition Tatcha collaboration.

Unfortunately, the drink itself was quite disappointing. Since it's vegan, it was made with coconut cream instead of dairy, but the overall flavor was light and bland. The coconut foam didn't add much richness, and for a $9.50 drink, it felt underwhelming. It reminded me more of wheatgrass than matcha. I've had Whisk's matcha chocolate drink during hot chocolate festival before, and actually enjoyed them. Maybe will come again for their regular matcha drink.

In today's world, I don't blame them that everything is shrinking in portion, especially when it's free . They didn't have the flavor of the month so it was only matcha or vanilla. My toddler wanted to eat too so we had to stick to vanilla. They also offered complementary powder: a choice of matcha, hojicha or kinako (roasted soy bean). I picked the kinako for my toddlers sake. I haven't bought a soft serve in a few year so I'm not sure whether purchased soft serves have shrunk in size as well.

Service was very quick, and cashier was super friendly and was giving off positive vibes. Just got my standard Oat milk Hojicha latte, which is my normal first drink at new place (when offered) - They have lots of sweet treats available - so might need to pay them another visit in the future. In terms of the drink itself, it was slightly more bitter then I'm used to. And remember to mix your drink well, as it was pretty clumpy and wasn't whisked very well - hoping that it was a one off.

I looooved the storefront itself; it appears that they make their own toppings and have local suppliers for their tea products. You're able to purchase these supplies, as well as artsy pieces made by local small businesses. There was tons of cute Pokemon merchandise! Friendly staff, a good recommendation for matcha and cute little souvenirs. Need to try their milk tea products next time!

This is a cute shop. They sell a bunch of refreshing tea drinks and also have a small "Makers"…read morecorner in the shop where they sell cute odds n ends that one would normally find inside a Makers shop. I love the crocheted items. They are so cute. We ordered a Baiko Matcha and a Pink Lychee. Both drinks were enjoyable but I honestly didn't taste much Lychee in my drink. I tasted mostly Strawberry in it. I think I would probably choose some kind of tea beverage next time. After all, with a name like Teaspoons & Co., I guess they would excel in making tea rather than a fruity drink like Pin Lychee. I love the selection of goods on their shelves. Passionfruit Syrup and Wintermelon Syrup both caught my eye. The Wintermelon Syrup I found to be especially unique. I have definitely never come across Wintermelong Syrup in a store before. I was very tempted to buy one of them but in the end, ended up restraining myself. Might buy one next time though.

iced matcha latte with oat milk and a chance to win a whisked away to japan? okay, avik, you have…read moremy attention. stopped into avik a little after 3:00 pm on a tuesday, on my way to an appointment, and the place was packed. not exactly surprising given that this west broadway café has become known for its specialty coffee and tea, house made pastries, and all sorts of creative japanese inspired treats. it's a bright, modern space, and there's a lot going on once you start looking around. i went with the iced matcha latte with oat milk, and it was a solid matcha. smooth, nicely balanced, and definitely enough to satisfy the afternoon matcha craving. avik describes its matcha as a high grade tea offering, alongside hojicha, chai and london fog, so tea clearly gets more than an obligatory spot on the menu. then there's the pastry display. so. many. things. the strawberry matcha cookie immediately caught my eye, but then there was a mochi black sesame croissant and i was basically standing there thinking, wait, what?! the menu leans into those japanese flavours in some really fun ways, and there are enough interesting combinations to make a return visit feel very necessary. the strawberry matcha cookie, for example, combines matcha, dried strawberries, white chocolate and cream cheese. the ordering setup is also very much of the future is now variety. there's a huge tablet for self ordering, plus a sliding freezer case for chocolates and ice cream bars. because apparently a regular pastry case wasn't futuristic enough. and then there was the little bonus dangling in front of me: the chance to win a trip to japan through the whisked away to japan promotion, courtesy of paragon. considering how much i've been thinking about japan lately, that felt like a particularly well timed bit of temptation. i sure could use a trip to japan right about now. between the matcha, the creative pastries, the japanese inspired flavours and the very modern ordering setup, avik is a fun stop when the usual coffee and croissant routine needs a little shaking up. even on a packed tuesday afternoon, there was plenty to catch the eye and plenty of reasons to start planning the next visit.

I think it was one of those Cherry Blossom Food Festivals that brought this place to my attention…read moreabout a year or two ago. Been wanting to try it for awhile and now I finally have. We ordered the following: Tiramisu Latte Caprese Bite London Fog Apple Cookie Cherry Matcha Tonic Tiramisu Sea Salt Caramel Gelato The Cherry Matcha Tonic was pretty but wasn't too crazy about the flavor. I should have just gone with my original gut instinct and chosen a hot beverage like Hojicha Latte or something like that. I was sort of thirsting for something cooler for a change though, and the Cherry Matcha Tonic was the first "cool" drink that caught my eye so I decided to go for it. Won't do that again. Everything else was good though. The Sea Salt Caramel Gelato was the star of the show! In the store there's a sign beneath their gelato section that says "Canadian Gelato Champion". I believe it after tasting the Sea Salt Caramel! They had Nama Chocolates too. I was tempted to get some but...only so much a person's wallet and waistline can handle at one time. Will try the Nama Chocolate some other time. You can order in person here, or you can place an "Express" order at the Kiosk. We tried both ways of ordering. Ordered at the counter first and then after finished my Cherry Matcha Tonic decided I wanted to try the Sea Salt Gelato so then tried ordering that from the Kiosk. Most of the parking in this area is paid but I lucked out and got a free spot right around the corner from this place!
