I love matcha, so this is probably matcha heaven for me. Decided to try this out while walking around downtown, and while there was a lineup in this small ice cream joint, I believe it was worth the wait (15mins). I got the sundae with matcha soft serve with red bean, mochi and biscuit crumbs and the float with matcha soft serve and houjicha slush, while my friends tried the matcha soft serve and matcha float. First of, the match soft serve is delicious and has a strong flavour of green tea (so you know it's good matcha!) and their mochi was very chewy and soft! The sundae was my favourite, following the houjicha float which reminded me of a mix of coffee and tea! The matcha float was less of a hit, with the matcha slush part tasting more like ice and less like matcha. While it may be slightly pricier than your average ice cream, if you're a matcha lover, it's a go-to spot. read more

Got the houjicha float and regular matcha soft serve in a cup. Taste was decent, I preferred the houjicha over the matcha. Other reviews says to not get the soft served on a cone so I listened to that. Stars took in account the overpriced menu which did not justify. Uniforms and decor is very nice. Very small space so be prepared to wait out the door. read more

I see why people hype about it because the interesting menu and display of pastries really do make this place super enticing. I got the Houjicha chiffon cake sundae and wasn't a huge fan. It's okay, too much cake and corn flakes. The Houjicha tasted like a roasted tea, it wasn't as strong as the matcha one, so I thought it was perfect. I had a bit of the match one and it was definitely too bitter from the strong tea. Sundae itself is huge and even as a fat ass, I cannot finish in 1 seating as a dessert. It would be great if they can make a mini version or else I can't see myself coming again with someone to share it with. read more

I have rarely been able to take a seat inside. On warm days, you bet this place is bustling, very often with a line out the door. But long lines can mean treasure awaits for those with patience. Being called up to the cash after standing in line for 10-15 minutes is only the beginning of an experience. Hopefully you've already decided what to order because if you look back up at the menu, you sure as heck will second guess yourself. Or sometimes what you wanted is now sold out and you gotta quickly pick something else. That's the fun of a full matcha menu, baby. Tsujiri's matcha menu is so awesome. I am a stickler for their classic matcha soft serve. It is wonderfully full-bodied and unmistakably of top tier quality. Explains the price. Melts fast so if you're not quick it'll be running onto your clothing in no time. But so worth it. For cold weather I highly recommend their matcha latte - mmmmm! Not sickly sweet like Starbucks' at all. I'm a loyal Tsujiri fan. read more

Tsujiri - HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Matcha soft serve - Tea Rooms Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Love this place. Whenever I am in Toronto I gravitate toward Tsujiri, pulled by my inescapable desire for top-notch matcha creations. Whether I am looking for matcha hot or iced tea, soft serve, shaved ice, or cheesecake, Tsujiri has what I desire. Beware it is addictive! LOVE IT! read more

Tsujiri - Matcha shaved ice! Yum! - Tea Rooms Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Pricey but worth it!!! I went to Tsujiri and was a bit overwhelmed because it had been a while since I had sooo many Matcha options in front of me (the torture). I just love Matcha so it was hard deciding what I wanted to get because honestly I wanted it all.... Maybe someday! I ended up getting a blended Matcha drink with Matcha soft serve on top. It was delicious, the Matcha taste was strong and the soft serve was creamy. It was such a great treat on a hot day. It was a bit pricey however and the restaurant itself has little to no seating. But the seating they do have available is a bit uncomfortable and unrealistic as well because if the shop is busy you can't sit there comfortably. You most likely will have to eat/drink outside to enjoy some elbow room. Be prepared to wait in a long line to order. Overall, I'd say it is worth the line and your money because the taste is good and very comparable to Matcha ice-cream/treats I have had in Japan. read more

Tsujiri - Matcha blended drink with soft serve on top! - Tea Rooms Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I went to both North York and Dundas location what I like about this ice cream is the really concentrated matcha flavour I don't know how they do it but tasted phenomenal it's about 5 or 6 bucks for ice cream but damn that's good. The ice cream was really smooth texture I just wanted more to be honest. No wonder they got so many stores one of the best ice creams I have ever tasted. read more

Overpriced for the tiny drink and fake UJI matcha. Their matcha is very tangy and stays on tongue for awhile. I think they are using low quality Autumn season matcha or adding tea-powder to make it greener color. I hope Toronto people knows what the real Uni matcha is.. this far way from real UJI matcha. Just some note that they can import tea from china and if they process in UJI Kyoto, it becomes UJI matcha. There is lots of grey zone when comes to UJI brand. See picture below. The small one was Yuzu matcha and cost us $5 read more

Tsujiri - $5 for the tiny drink - Tea Rooms Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

GO HERE IF YOU LIKE GREEN TEA ICE CREAM! If you don't like it, avoid this place as they have nothing else. At least for ice cream. I'm personally not a big fan but I enjoyed the green tea with burnt rice, in small amounts. My Asian wife really enjoyed this. The ice cream is very creamy and the green tea flavour is quite strong. The sundae's have some variety of things they mix in, like rice balls or biscuits. We had the Tsujiri Sundae Matcha and Shira Sundae Matcha. Warning, rice balls are filling, especially after lunch! I found this shop very pricey. These two little sundaes cost us $15, granted its unique and not something you'll eat every day. We also don't go to Toronto often. Conclusion, if its hot out, you are downtown at the "center of the universe" and you like green tea ice cream, I recommend you stop in. read more

Super yummy! You have to get there early or things run out. I got the tsujiri sundae and it was so good. The matcha soft serve is very strong matcha flavour which is fantastic. I thought the red bean was delicious too. However the roasted rice was a bit over powering for me. I did enjoy the crunch factor that it added. The Sakura cookie was a waste of tummy space and has no taste. read more

The ice cream is good. Very strong matcha flavor, but overall its too pricey for it to be worth it ($7-8 for a small mcdonald's size sunday cup). While the the hype has died down a bit, the workers here take their time to make your order. There were 2 parties ahead of me and still took sometime to get my ice cream. While I support taking care to make an order, it is a bit too much for me. There are also so many people behind the counter, which is ironic for the pace. Very limited seating inside. Experience/wait is low, prices high, but good ice cream. Overall, not worth it for me. read more

I love me some soft serve and especially if it's matcha flavored! Ordered the matcha soft serve in a cup and to be honest it was ehh okay. First of all, it was smooth and creamy but it did not have a distinct matcha tea flavor. And I know my matcha because I'm a matcha addict!! read more

Was looking for dessert spots near the mall and couldn't resist stopping by this shop for some green tea soft serve! I ordered the Matcha Shiratama Parfait and my boyfriend ordered a matcha latte with lactose-free milk! The ice cream had a good balance of creaminess and green tea flavor. It wasn't too sweet and very fragrant, which I enjoyed. The mochi balls (super soft and chewy!) and the red bean were a great addition to the parfait too. My boyfriend's matcha latte wasn't sweet enough but the staff were very friendly and added more syrup. A cute spot for green tea lovers! read more

Tsujiri - Matcha Shiratama Parfait - Tea Rooms Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We visited around 1:00 PM on a weekend afternoon and our experience can be summed up as follows: in a grand total of 25 minutes, we lined up, grabbed a table, paid, picked up our order, and ate. We, thankfully, didn't have to endure the lineups. Overall, if you come at the right time (or at an off-peak hour), without having to stand there pressed up against strangers in crowds waiting for ice cream, and you get a seat, and you get to sit and enjoy your order - the experience isn't too bad. However, note that for some items, prices can be kind of steep. First, location. Located just east of University Ave and Dundas Street, this place isn't too far away from Ryerson Univrsity, UofT, or the Eaton Centre. It isn't too far away from various subway stops as well. Second, the ice cream. We ordered one Tsujiri Sundae to share, which contained Matcha soft serve, roasted rice bits packed at the bottom, and various toppings. The flavours were strong and pretty delicious, and aesthetically, the sundae was beautifully put together and great to look at! The ice cream temperature was decent (not too warm and didn't melt at the touch). We would get this again, but I'd note that for the price, it's pretty small, which knocked off a star for me. Lastly, seating. We were lucky enough to grab a table, but there aren't many. There are about 3 tables for 2, and a table at the back for a small-sized group. That's it. The space is also kind of narrow, so when there are crowds, it gets pretty cramped. Overall, our experience wasn't bad, and when the hype dies down, we'll come back. For one Tsujiri Sundae, we paid around $9.00. read more

Tsujiri - Tsujiri Sundae. - Tea Rooms Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Not really sure what the big hype over this place is. Since my friend and I were extremely eager to try Tsujiri for quite some time, we decided to wait in the dreadful line. We had no idea that 2-3 metres out the door would have us waiting AN HOUR AND A HALF to finally get our orders. I had initially really wanted a sundae, but when we got to the door after waiting for over half an hour, there was a hidden sign in the corner saying "out of sundaes for the day" :| WHAT? Why would they not put this somewhere more visible?!?!? A sundae was the only thing I wanted, so this was frustrating to say the least. We both ended up ordering floats (Tsujiri and Houjicha Milk) instead. The matcha soft serve ice cream was pretty good, but the drink itself was meh. I added the shiratama (mochi balls?) to my drink, which in my opinion tasted like absolutely nothing. I didn't think that the floats were worth the price at all ($7-8 each for a small), so I obviously would not buy one again. In fact, I barely even drank half of mine before I ended up throwing it out. On the up side, everything was aesthetically pleasing. And the menu does have a lot of variety with desserts. Overall, Tsujiri did not come close to meeting the high expectations I had. It's not necessarily bad, but I no longer understand why anyone would go out of their way to try this place. I most certainly would not wait in line to buy anything from here again. Perhaps if I were to pass by during the rare times where there is no line, I may go back inside just to finally get that sundae I've been waiting for. read more

Tsujiri - Tsujiri Float + Houjicha Milk Float - Tea Rooms Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a matcha cafe so you HAVE to like matcha in order to enjoy this spot's offerings. If you're not a fan of traditional, straight matcha tea, you probably will not like this place, so I find the negative reviews about the flavor really silly. I tried three items and absolutely loved them all. The matcha daifuku (mochi with matcha cream inside) was hands-down amazing. The mochi was so soft and the matcha cream was very light, fluffy, yet still very flavorful. Their pastries are quite pricy but easy to share with another person. I also tried the popular matcha sundae and yuzu slushie with matcha soft serve on top. The sundae was delicious and rich in flavor, the mochi balls with it were the best I've had in North America. The yuzu slushie paired with the soft serve was really good! So refreshing and the two flavors and textures balanced it other out. I definitely recommend anyone who loves matcha in any form to visit here! read more

Tsujiri is a renowned green tea brand that is known throughout Asia for their matcha-based drinks and desserts. The shop primarily serves as a take-out area, as it is small with only a few high seat tables, and a traditional tatami room in the back of the shop. Tsujiri Toronto's menu is extensive, as there is a great variety of matcha-oriented desserts, hot and cold beverages, and pastries. Tsujiri Toronto stays true to its Kyoto outpost, as their ingredients are sourced directly from Japan. This way, they maintain the standard consistency that the Tsujiri brand is known for. The menu is definitely on a higher price point, but they do make up for it by producing higher quality products. O-Macha (traditional green tea): Note that there is a 3-degree (matcha) scale at Tsujiri Toronto (mild, medium, and strong) indicated by the number of leaf icons, and this drink is listed as a 3. If you're new to matcha, then I wouldn't recommend this drink as it has a very strong bitter taste to it. I would probably start light with one of the matcha lattes. The O-Matcha Black Sesame Latte: The matcha and black sesame blended nicely with one another, without one being overpowering over the other. Compared to other large chains that also offer matcha lattes, the one at Tsujiri isn't too sweet. Tsujiri Sundae: I loved how well the ingredients are layered with one another. The contrasting texture was most welcomed with the layering of the matcha soft serve, brown rice cracker, red bean paste, mochi, and topped off with a sakura cookie. The matcha and red bean flavors seem the most dominant of all, but the crunch of the cracker adds to the texture. Tsujiri Soft Serve: The soft serve comes in three flavors; matcha, vanilla or mix (cone or cup). I opted for their matcha cone, and found it to be rich, full of matcha flavor, and wasn't overly sweet. read more

I've actually been so excited for Tsujiri ever since I read an article about it coming to Toronto! Tsujiri is a beautiful matcha-based dessert shop that has a never-ending line and a crazy number of sweets to choose from. The selection ranges from floats to shaved ice, and there's definitely an option for everyone to try. For two people, be prepared to pay around ~$15 for dessert. The real stunner here is the matcha ice-cream, which has a sweet and bitter aftertaste that really dazzles you. Unfortunately the other choices, like sundaes, are ridiculously pricey for the amount you get. You can either get green tea ice cream, vanilla ice cream, or mixed- but since you're already in Tsujiri, why would you want anything other than matcha ice cream? As well, getting seats is a real war zone here- you have to fight for the right to sit. Tip: Tsujiri Sundae runs out really fast- I got to Tsujiri at 1 pm (it opens at 11 am), and they already sold out! Dislike: Tsujiri float. It was very watery and the flavour was rather ho-hum. read more

One of my top finds in Toronto. I've searched so long for the perfect matcha/mochi combo but this blew my mind. I was recently in HK and wasn't able to get my hands on it but I didn't realize there was one so close (still kinda far) near New York. Yes that's 8 hours of driving if you're Not flying but hey, it's not across the ocean or $800+ plane ticket away. Knowing nothing about Toronto and stumbled in this Matcha heaven. The ice cream was mesmerizing and delicious. The mochi was so bouncy and paired perfectly with my matcha serve. I got a total of 5 mochi balls and thought that was pretty generous considering how it was only about $6usd. If only I lived in Toronto.... Or just open up a store in NYC please! read more

Never too full for dessert! First time trying a dessert like this and was pleasantly surprised. The dessert wasn't too sweet and the glutinous balls were even less so. When we were there, this parfait was the only dessert they had left as they were sold out of everything else and it was only 3pm. There also wasn't a lot of seating area in the cafe. read more

Tsujiri - Matcha parfait - Tea Rooms Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Tsujiri is a new dessert place/Cafe on the Dundas W strip that's focused on green tea/matcha offerings. It's a chain from Japan and this is their first Canadian location. Location: right beside Kyoto House on Dundas St W, a few blocks west of Bay St. Seating: there's a few two person tables and a small tatami mat at the back. There's not much space here so it's not a good study spot. Food/Drinks: there's a lot of different hot and cold drink offerings. I tried the Tsujiri Blended Ice Milk and the Matcha. The blended Ice milk tea had the right amount of green tea potency; it wasn't too empowering but was stronger than most places. The matcha was also pretty good too although keep in mind that in keeping with how matcha is usually served, it's a smaller cup. I didn't try the dessert this time but the soft cream and shaved ice looked pretty good. The mochi looked good too. Cost: it's pretty pricy. It was about $6 and change for the blended ice milk and $4 and change for the matcha. Overall - if you like green tea flavoured foods and beverages, you'll be happy with the offerings here. It's a bit pricy though. read more

Came on a Saturday night and ordered a shiratama parfait. It contains glutinous rice balls, red beans, and matcha ice cream. We came pretty late so the other parfaits were sold out already. The ice cream was intensely matcha flavoured and incredibly smooth. It balances well with the red beans which were slightly sweet. Didn't care too much for the rice ball personally. Best matcha ice cream you'll find outside of Japan though. Will be back for sure! read more

It's just matcha ice cream guys. relax. Tsujiri is way overhyped. I had the shirahama sundae which was basically green tea ice cream and some glutinous rice balls. The rice balls were frozen and you can taste the ice as they were not probably defrosted. The ice cream wasn't even that good either. The portions are really big and my sundae ended up being around $9. I threw half of it away as it was really unenjoyable after the first 10 bites. Next time I want green tea ice cream, I'll know to go lineup at uncle tetsus green tea cafe across the street instead. read more

I am giving this place 3 stars not because it is not good, but because it is quite pricey for what it is. The matcha soft serve has great taste and full of matcha flavour, no doubt. But also comes at a steep cost even for just plain (no topping) serving. It is amazing that line ups are a frequent sighting considering the price. But then again, i am frequently one of the people there lining up lol Overall, if you are not price sensitive and would love some good quality matcha soft serve, then Tsujiri is for you read more

Came here for matcha shaved ice and wasn't disappointed. The shaved ice has matcha soft serve ice cream on top (or vanilla) and melon balls. It was delicious. Also ordered Yuzu lemonade and it was decent. It had little bits of Yuzu in it. It was refreshing on a hot day. Its located near Toronto times square. Its a very unassuming shop. It's very small and can easily be missed. The negatives for the place is the smallness and lack of tables. The line was out the door, and after you get it you have no where to eat it. I was going to deduct a star, for that but, it was pretty good, so it's a must visit while in toronto if you want Matcha shaved ice. read more

What is the hype about? My friends and I got the sundaes, cream puffs, shaved iced, and mochi. Aside from their matcha soft serve ice cream, everything was just meh. And overpriced! My goodness is it overpriced! Service was bad too. Put up a sign that says, PLEASE REMOVE SHOES instead of giving us dirty looks! And just pass the orders to your right instead of us having to push through your line to pick up our orders for TO STAY. gees. I wouldn't spend half an hour lining up or spend another dollar at this place. And I love matcha anything! Just overall disappointing. read more

We managed to visit tsujiri today and only waited about 20 - 25 mins from ordering to waiting. I ordered the small tsujiri sundae and my cousin got the small houjicha float. Total was $15.80! Quite expensive for dessert..but oh well we wanted to see what the hype was about. Aside from the expensive price, there is no efficiency in the store. There were about 4 staff, one doing cash and the rest making everyone's orders. I was also very confused with where to wait. The matcha soft serve was very tasty, there's a hint of bitterness to it which I liked. I didn't like the rice puff (?) in my sundae though. If I were to come here again, I'd probably just get the matcha soft serve on its own. But it's so pricey :( Do note that they only take cash for now! read more

There was so much hype about this place I just had to try. I love everything matcha and came on a weekday night around 8 - it was paaaaacked. So I decided to go during work hours on a weekday around 2. There were only around 3 people ahead of us so it was a 10-15 minute wait (should be faster imo) when we ordered we can see the workers working, they are really slow... They do things very carefully I guess? But they place things very slowly, that's why even 3 people can cause a 15 minute wait. I got the chiffon cake ice cream with red bean paste around 7 bucks, it was pretty expensive. The cake tasted meh and the red bean paste wasn't anything special. The soft serve tasted just normal soft serve with hint of matcha and wasn't anything spectacular... Not enough for me to go back. My other friends got the soft serve for around $5. All of them said it was too sweet, which I can agree. The seating is pretty cute, it's limited, but there's one of those Japanese styled tables at the back and some high tables, all were full so be prepared to grab and go! It's cash only. read more

After spending a few hours outside in the freezing weather with the kids watching the Santa Clause parade guess what we decide to try out since we are downtown? Yep, ice cream...go figure that one out! Wanted to see what the hype was about as it wasn't too busy when we walked by. Tsujiri specialises in Japanese inspired matcha flavoured soft serve ice cream along with other desserts. Let me tell you before hand that I love anything matcha...I can have it with ice cream, crepes, cakes....heck I can probably even have it over steak and I'll still eat it! The matcha ice cream here is very good with a strong matcha flavour that's served slightly more soft so on a hot day you should really eat it fast or it will melt. The different textures really give a nice balance with the sundaes. But if I had to wait an hour or so during busy times I would rather come back another day. It's on the pricy side as 4 sundaes were about $35 but being downtown it's understandable. Overall a good treat if you are in the area. read more

My friend and I came here for the first time on a Friday afternoon. I knew there would be a line and I expected the wait to be worth it, but it wasn't. We ended up waiting around 1.5hrs to get our orders even though the line looked pretty short from the outside. We checked out the menu ahead of time and decided to get sundaes but, unfortunately, they weren't selling sundaes on the day of our visit. This was quite annoying because although they had a sign that read "No Sundaes Today", it was placed at a fairly nonvisible location. We were only able to see it after waiting 30 minutes. After asking an employee about the sign, we were told that they were running out of product and had to reduce the amount of ice cream sold until they received their new shipment in a few days. I bought a small Tsujiri Float topped with matcha ice cream ($6.50) and an O-Matcha Cream Puff ($2.75). The float was good but nothing special. The ice blended drink itself was mediocre. I really enjoyed the matcha ice cream but there wasn't much. The cream puff was delicious and fluffy. It was filled with both vanilla and matcha ice cream. Not enough ice cream, but enough to satisfy my cravings. Although I was disappointed with my visit, the disappointment was mainly rooted from the workers. The products are good. The workers just need to pick up the pace and complete their product orders properly to ensure the required stock level. I'll probably return when it'ts not busy for the matcha ice cream because it's good but definitely not worth the wait. read more

I really liked the Tsujiri Sundae! It's composed of a swirl of matcha soft serve (or you can opt for the half vanilla), red bean paste, toasted brown rice puffs, a chestnut, and a mochi (shiratama). I really loved the toasted brown rice puffs mixed with matcha because it added some crunchy texture to the smooth soft serve. The quality was pretty fresh given the fact my friends and i arrived right before closing time and got the last serving. This place is more of a come-and-go dessert shop as there weren't much room for seating - only a tiny japanese-style table in the back that seated about 6-8 people. read more

Tsujiri - Tsujiri Sundae (7.50 CAD) and Shiratama Sundae (8.00 CAD) - Tea Rooms Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Having been to Tsujiri in Kyoto I was a little disappointed they still had no plans to open one in Vancouver, so I was super excited to finally visit the first North American one here in Toronto. Short summary: good taste, but overpriced - only go if you're really craving matcha parfaits like the ones in Japan and you have extra $$ Taste: I got the Tsujiri sundae which comes with 1 shiratama (white mochi ball), 1 chestnut and a cookie on top of match soft serve in a cup. Matcha flavour was good and not too sweet. Cookie was kinda tasteless with the ice cream. Shiratama was chewy but nothing to write home about. Store: There's only about 3 tiny tables with 2 seats each and a Japanese tatami flooring type space at the back with a small table. Today was cold and pouring rain and people still lined up so it's best to just get the ice cream and eat outside somewhere unless you're lucky to get a seat. Price: Like all Japanese food in Canada (overpriced ramen and izakayas for example), I found this place to be pretty over the top. Around 8.50 because of the tax for this sundae. Overall: It was good to try it for myself but I'd rather go to Bang bang or save my Japanese dessert appetite for Japan read more

Tsujiri - Tsujiri Sundae - Tea Rooms Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

3.5/5 hype much? This must anticipated matcha heaven is finally opened. Arrived during rush hour on a weekday, the line was all the way to the door. Right now with 5 staffs working here, the wait time is around 20-30min. The store is small with only 3 2people table and 1 larger table on tatami that can comfortable fit 4 people. So Tsujiri will be a grab and go kinda place. Anyway, not a fan of the store's layout, the tight seating space provided can't really provide enough space for people to chill without being watched and surrounded by the people waiting in line. The menu has over 50 items, includes pastries, sundae, soft serve, shaved ice, floats, ice blended drinks, Toronto exclusive hot drinks and matcha tea. All the items are labeled with leaf icons to indicate how strong the matcha taste in them. 3 leaves one would be the most bitter one. I ordered 1 medium O-matcha black sesame latte($6) and 1 O-matcha cream puff($2.75). The latte is just a matcha latte topped with some black sesame powder. It is incredibly aromatic, mostly the smell of black sesame. The first sip is filled with black sesame flavour, then the bitterness from the matcha kicks in. It tasted similar to the Starbucks green tea latte, but the matcha taste is more intense, it is "medium" on the matcha scale(2leaves). O-matcha cream puff is around the size of a child's fist. At first I thought it is just a regular cream puff, then I noticed the cream puff's craquelin(the crumble topping) has matcha in it, tiny detail~ The cream puff is stuffed with half whipped cream and half matcha custard. Taste pretty good, the whipped cream complements the matcha custard very well. I kinda wish the cream puffs are smaller, it was a bit messy eating it. (2 leaves on the matcha scale) The overall experience was good, quite pricy. Having a matcha drink and a matcha pastry together was a little overwhelming, I had an empty feeling afterward lol. If it wasn't because I have to ride ttc during rush hour I would've gotten a sundae, they look so cute!! I would definitely come back to try out other items. If you are a matcha lover who doesn't mind the waiting time, this is the place for you. If you are not familiar with matcha, I'd recommend to pick an item with less matcha in it. Hopefully the lines will move faster here as they get the hang of it. Looks like anything from Japan or related to Japan would be praised and considered better. Pretty interesting. Cakes takes a long time to bake I understand, but these drinks and sundaes shouldn't take so long to make. Note: No debit or credit during the first week of opening. read more

The omatcha black sesame latte is where it's attttt.. I'm gonna go ahead and say that the flavours just go well together since they're both pretty gritty and have that bittersweet taste. The added sugar helps fuse them together and you can definitely tell the distinction between the two. There was only a $0.50 cent difference when it came to the Medium ($5.50) and Large ($6.00), so I just went for the large. Staff friendly, service timed pretty well, but the seating area is cramped asf unless you sit at the actual table; not to mention the booth chairs are ridiculously high, so it may be a bit of a challenge for short people getting seated and coming back down - as was the case with me =*c read more

Came here for the first time the other day and there was surprisingly no line up (but that's because they were currently out of sundaes haha). Overall it's a cute little Japanese cafe that have quite a few menu items I would be interested in trying if I'm ever in the area again. Service and Environment Since there wasn't many people there when I went, service was pretty quick. You can definitely tell that english isn't the servers' first language so definitely try to order the menu items by just telling them the number beside it! Makes it much easier for them to understand and definitely gives them less trouble! Food I wasn't feeling too exotic or adventurous that day and I was also quite full from eating lunch so I just ordered a simple cone of their matcha soft serve ice-cream. They really are generous with their matcha flavouring because it was really strong and you can really really taste it haha (not that it's a bad thing). So if you really love matcha then this is the ice cream for you. Personally, I thought it was a bit too strong for me so I'll probably just get a mix of vanilla and matcha. Moreover, their waffle cone was delicious and the ice cream was creamy and smooth! read more

《Houjicha Ice Cream $5.25》I remember coming here in the summer and got their houjicha float. Loved the flavour but found the float too icy for my preference (gave me brain freeze) so I was thrilled to see their houjicha ice cream sign when I walked by last week!! I was a bit hesitant because I was by myself but at the end I couldn't resist and omg the ice cream was so good!! The roasted tea flavour was strong, very smooth and the sweetness was just right! Enjoyed every bit of it 《Matcha Cream Puff $3》I so should not be getting this because I already had a big lunch + the ice cream..but I was by myself so no one stopped me !! I loveddd this cream puff! The shell was crunchy and pipped with matcha cream. Filling was light and you could taste the bitterness of the matcha flavour. I have to say it is a bit pricey as the cream puff is kinda small but once in a while you just need to treat yourself right? read more

See all

The good: wow, probably the best place to find legit strong tasting matcha ice cream. Their sundae was filled with their green tea chiffon cake, some red bean, and the matcha ice cream itself ($7.50). The soft served matcha ice cream cone was probably the best bang for the buck. The macaron was pretty good, but definitely not its specialty. The matcha parfait was definitely average at best. The bad: the pricing and unfortunately the hype that comes with it. It's not crazy to see a sundae being charged for $7.50, but it sure is when it's half the size of other sundaes around the city. Now of course, it is 'matcha' but to me it doesn't justify it enough to bump it up. The ugly: the lineup is horrid. And not much seating. Neutral: hopefully I get a chance to try their beverages! Until the next review ;) read more
