Matcha, Matcha and more Matcha! This place got the best matcha latte I've ever had! Creamy, light, and not too sweet. Fantastic spot! Finding parking on weekdays is quite pricey but it is so worth it because of this place. My wife got the Chiffon Cake Sundae. My goodness, she went for the same item when she was done. She loves it! The customer service is top notch! My wife is pregnant so when we walked in the cashier said that the matcha has some caffeine and if it is ok. My wife really appreciates the heads up before ordering. There are things we agree and disagree but this place we both agree to come back. Everyone says Thank You when we walked out. A nice touch.

Not sure what y'all Canadians are whining about, but Tsujiri has some of the most awesome green tea desserts in North America! The green tea soft service ice cream, the green tea mochi, and the green tea chiffon+cheese layer cake were phenomenal. The matcha flavors were high-quality (a hint of bitterness, sea scent, and greeness) and the execution of the dessert texture, fluffiness and flavor was on point of the mochi and cake. And sweetness level is just perfect for Asian tastebuds. The desserts are a bit expensive, but worth it! If they do franchises, I would quit my job, open up shop in Chicago, make a ton of money, and eat a ton of green tea desserts. Only thing I would change is that they should offer boxes and bags so people can buy the desserts and gift it. Right now they can only offer a brown paper bag. read more

It was a gloomy, rainy night, and there was absolutely no line up. We walked right in and I ordered four things because this miracle is probably not going to happen again any time soon. Tsujiri sundae ($7.50) - Yes, it was 7:30pm and it wasn't sold out. I loved the strong matcha flavour. I'd been disappointed with other watered down matcha offerings at other places and I'm glad to have found a place that takes their matcha seriously. But what's going to make sure I come back for more are the red bean paste in the middle and the shiratama ball on top. They perfectly balanced out the matcha for me. O-matcha black sesame latte ($6) - Very good for the first half of the medium cup, which is the smallest size they have. After that, I was over it, as the flavour is strong but very one note. Matcha cream puff ($2.75) - So good and fairly fresh. I can see myself getting addicted to these. They're probably even better earlier in the day when they've just been made. I'll have to try them again in the early afternoon. Matcha macaron ($2.50) - I really liked these. Probably because they have red bean filling and I'm starting to realize I have a problem. Great way to end a Tsujiri visit. All in all, I enjoyed their offerings and I'll be back on another rainy night. read more

Green tea heaven ! If you love green tea then you should definitely check this place out. The decor makes it have a really Japanese feel to it. They offer a huge variety of green tea items from green tea ice cream to green tea lattes and shaved ice. They also have genmaicha flavoured things if you don't like green tea. Oh, and they also have some pastries available. Their green tea ice cream is rich and thick. Has a strong tea flavour to it and is extra creamy. The texture is smooth with no clumps of green tea. Absolutely delicious! Probably the best green tea ice cream you can find in Toronto ! read more

It is March and line ups are still here at Tsujiri. This affected my rating dramatically since time is important to customers. Here are my 3 words to describe Tsujiri: 1. Authenticity 2. Variety 3. Delays All staff and ingredients are purported to be Japenese. Confirmed that the dialogue between staff was Japanese. Decor inside was bright and had floor seating as well as raised seats which suggests authenticity. Variety was abundant. Take a look at my photos to see concoctions of all sorts. Sundaes, shaved ice, lattes, cold drinks, cream puffs, macarons, you name it. It's all made with their high quality matcha so try them all (if you have the money). Delays were evident as lineups are needed for ordering AND for receiving your order. Expect to wait outside and dress for that and then wait some more when you get inside. I think this is the hype behaving so later on in the summer, I suspect lines will subside. But I could be wrong, and it could get longer because of the weather, when everyone will want ice cream and cold snacks. We ordered the matcha shaved ice which included soft serve matcha ice cream, shaved ice with matcha syrup drizzled over, and a few rice cakes. The price is absurd at around $9 after tax but the size does compensate slightly for it. That's almost the price of two bubble teas. Still, the authenticity of the flavors and rice cakes absolved any disgruntled feelings in pricing. The place lives up to its hype but it's definitely not going to be a regular check in for students or those looking to save money. I'll swing by to bring out of town visitors or friends who have never tried it. Besides those specific times, I don't see myself coming back any time soon. Too expensive and too time consuming for me. Check out my pictures and see for yourself! read more

Finally got to try the newest Jap dessert place in the Bay/Dundas area without waiting in line :) I had to try the basics. I ordered the Matcha soft serve in a cup ($6.50 tx included) and I gotta say, green looks good on a soft serve. The taste: ok, so I know very little about match green tea topic and I'm not sure if it's suppose to taste the way I tasted it; it definitely had a strong but subtle flavour. It did, however, leave a powder-y after taste on my tongue that clung on for a good amount of time. All I can say, from past experience, that it was a nice first-time experience, but I'll probably just stick with my vanilla soft serve read more

Very bad service. I bought a matcha soft serve and a lychee matcha drink. I told the employee that the drink was way too sweet. she just threw about 1/4 of the drink in the sink and then added some calbico lychee juice and the cup is not even full. It was difficult to communicate with her since she can barely speak english. The lychee matcha drink is the worst drink I ever had. I don't recommend this place. Bad service. Will never go again read more

I went to Toronto last weekend and I had a long list of foodie places to try and tsujiri was one of the top ones on my list. I decided to order the chiffon cake sundae and that was the best decision! I ordered the matcha/vanilla swirl and this sundae came with a slice of chiffon cake, a scoop of red bean, some glutinous balls, and corn flakes! I loved the variety and all the textures! All the ingredients mixed so well together. I can't wait to come back during my next tdot trip! Who knows when that will be read more

Get there around noon or earlier to avoid line ups out the door. Staff is super friendly but production is on the slower side (maybe because it's still new) so line ups build really quickly. Twice I've been there and then they didn't have the sundaes :( The soft serve is great, if you're into strong matcha flavour. Definitely get a topping! I got the roasted rice. Space is small with limited seating, so it fills up quickly. When we were there, a few patrons were just hanging out with their laptops. read more

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

3.5/5. I came here 5 minutes before it opened and there were 4 people waiting outside before me. They had sold out of all their sundaes except #37, Shira sundae. I ordered that, and #40, Tsujiri Shaved Ice. I ordered strictly matcha. It came to $16 before taxes. I'm 5'4, and I had slight trouble getting to the seat..lol...it has a step to get up there. Alternately, you can sit on the back table, which has room for at least 4 people. You'll have to take your shoes off for that one. Seating area does not seem to accomodate people in wheelchairs, but their washroom is wheelchair accessible. They call out your number on the receipt for you to pick it up. I tried my sundae and it was good...for the first half. It was too sweet for my liking. I would actually recommend the Tsujiri shaved ice over the sundae. The shaved ice has a very strong and fragrant matcha taste without being distorted by all the sugar that comes in a whole cup of soft serve. The shaved ice was topped with soft serve too, so you get the best of both worlds without getting sick of it. Service was friendly. I'd come back here, but not for the sundaes or soft serve. If you like sugary tea, go for those. read more

The Tsujiri Sundae could be ordered with either just matcha or a twist of matcha and vanilla soft serve ice cream. I got the twist. It was a nicely assembled sundae with matcha and vanilla soft serve ice cream, two mochi balls, crunchy roasted brown rice puffs at the bottom of the cup, and topped with a pink cookie made with Sakura flowers. I liked the matcha soft serve and found it to be quite strong. I especially realized how strong the matcha actually was when I wasn't able to fall asleep later that night and kept tossing and turning in my bed. That matcha sure was concentrated! If you like strong matcha ice cream, you will definitely like this one. The vanilla soft serve was light and paired well with the rest of the sundae. The crunchy roasted brown rice bits at the bottom of the cup provided a ton of texture to the otherwise smooth sundae dessert. If you like very crunchy bits in your dessert, this will be right up your alley too! I really liked the Sakura flower cookie since it was a little tart and sour. read more

Now offering crepe cake and daifuku! Delish! But at prices of 8.25 and 5.00 this is my one stop shop for a splurge day! Not sure about other people's review of the crepe cake, but I guess if your palate is not always exposed to overly sweet items all the time the cake was sweet enough for me. It really allows me to savor the matcha flavor. The many layers of thin crepe and the rich matcha cream in between is a perfect combination for my sweet tooth. I'm now onto my third slice! Comparable to the Kensington place and closer for me! The daifuku is made of a thin mochi skin with a large amount of matcha cream inside and a sip of matcha concentrate in the middle. The middle was so rich of matcha flavor it was almost bitter but I loved it. It was a bit too much cream for me I'd rather it had a thicker skin cause I like the chewy texture. And as usual my go to drink is the o-matcha black sesame latte. The lines seem shorter these days. read more

I LOVE MATCHA!!! When I heard about this new cafe and seeing the pictures of the long lineups, I went with the expectation of waiting. We were about 10 people from the front door and there was still a line that went inside. We started waiting at 3pm. We got inside to order at around 3:40pm and finally received our desserts and drinks at 4:00pm. Aside from the 1 hour total wait time, the desserts and drinks were, for the most part, delicious. My friends and I ordered the following: 1) Houjicha Milk Float: It was a houjicha (type of tea that is reminiscent of roasted milk tea) slush with soft serve on top (we got the twist of matcha and vanilla, but you can get just vanilla or just matcha). You can drink it with a straw and eat it with your spoon, but it was really refreshing and the roasted milk tea flavour was a perfect post-meal treat. 2) Shiratama Sundae: It came with 3 mojis, red bean paste, some oatmeal, and the matcha soft serve. The treat overall was too sweet because the red bean paste was really sweet, which really took away from the medium degree of matcha flavour that was in the soft serve. The mojis were on the bland side, but the oatmeal added a good crunch. This wasn't my favourite item. 3) Black Sesame Matcha Latte: It was an interesting flavour combination and while the initial taste had the medium, almost strong matcha flavour, it was soon completely overwhelmed by the black sesame flavour. It was still enjoyable, but I wish the flavour combination yielded less black sesame. 4) O-Matcha Tea: Think of this as your strong matcha espresso shot. It came in the smallest cup from the store and it was whisked with a matcha whisk. This was just tea - no milk. I love my matcha strong and bitter, and this is exactly what you can expect from the o-matcha tea. Delicious! 5) O-Matcha Creampuff: I was surprised at how the matcha flavour in this puff came out so strong, but I was also surprised with the vanilla or whipped cream that was also in there. I'm not a fan of whipped cream, so that took me aback a little. The portion is a bit on the smaller side, so while it was good, I don't think I would pay $2.75 every visit. All in all, the treats and drinks were mostly above average and the matcha tastes authentic. The decor included a tatami mat table in the back with a few side tables that could fit 2 people at a time. You can see exactly what is happening with your food as it is an open concept setting. If you don't mind the wait, I would definitely recommend trying it out! FYI - CASH ONLY! If you're going to wait that long, you better have some cash on you! read more

Matcha lovers unite! When Tsujiri was about to open, it was all over social media and as a matcha lover, I had to come here. This was my second time and I would recommend just getting the matcha soft serve ($6ish with tax). The toppings are mostly for visuals and taste beyond average to less than average. It was a huge disappointment and definitely not worth it (unless you want that insta photo). I've had the matcha float before as well and it was super sweet, icy and watered down. The matcha here is very fragrant and tastes good. There is usually a line here and limited seats. I wish the space was bigger because you basically order, pick up and leave. I'm sure there are better places to get your matcha fix. read more

I've been trying to get some goddamn matcha sundae from this place but the lines were making it very difficult because both times were on a weekend. So I decided to change my strategy and give it another try. I went around 1pm on a weekday and I got in and out in about 30 mins. The line wasn't even long, it's just the people making the sundaes were super slow, as if we have forever to wait (here's where I minus that one star). Anyway, I got the Shiratama Sundae while my partner got the Chiffon Cake Sundae. I liked the chiffon cake sundae better than shiratama. I liked the cornflakes added to it which surprisingly compliment the matcha sundae. The chiffon was dry unfortunately and I didn't care for the red bean paste, it sort of ruined the flavour but my partner liked it, so. Anyway, the matcha was really creamy, rich and delicious - totally matchalicious and 5000x better than uncle tetsu's. However, price wise? Cries. (Here's another negative star) Also, I wouldn't pay extra 50 cents for the mixed flavours in the future. I will definitely return to try other stuff on the menu. read more

Tsujiri - Chiffon Cake Sundae (38) - Tea Rooms Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

One of the great things about visiting/living in a big city, is how many options are available to you. Even if a place you like is closed, you can always find something else a couple blocks down. That was exactly what happened to me when I was hanging out with a local friend in Toronto. I was hoping to go with her to get Japanese crepes and parfaits, but unfortunately the place I had in mind closed at 8:30 PM. We instead did a search for various dessert places, and just happened to find this place in a search. Matcha is all the rage in the Asian dessert scene these days, and Tsujiri happens to be one of those places that specializes in the various green tea flavored desserts. Ranging from lattes, to sundaes, to shaved ice, Tsujiri serves a wide variety of matcha products for your needs. Looking at the various options, I opted for the Chiffon Cake Houjicha Sundae, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed. Whenever you get matcha, you always get just a mild bit of bitterness that goes with the sweetness. Such was the case with my dessert. but the blend was very good. The sundae came with houjicha soft serve, corn flakes, chiffon cake, and red bean. Everything blended together nicely - the corn flakes surprisingly meshed with the ice cream incredibly well. It tasted more like a parfait than a sundae, but the flavor was nevertheless present. It's not the type of dessert place I'd deliberately go out of my way to introduce to my friends, but Tsujiri is overall solid. read more

Came here 2 weeks after it opened, on a Friday night and waited around 40 minutes in line. We ordered the Tsujiri Shaved Ice and the OMatcha black sesame latte. Unfortunately the sundaes were sold out. The shaved ice with the matcha soft serve topping and glutinous balls was delicious for the first few scoops, but got too sweet and runny and the end. The latte was very rich and smooth with strong sesame taste. Overall verdict: Good, but not worth the lines. Wait until the hype dies down. read more

One of my favourite matcha spots! Very limited seating so expect to wait or be prepared to just get it to go! Matcha Kuromitsu Parfait (Highly Recommended) -- I'm praying this parfait isn't limited edition because I think it's my favourite dessert at Tsujiri! I have always loved the combination of kuromitsu (Japanese black sugar) and matcha so I knew this parfait would be a win for me. This parfait has their signature matcha soft serve, kuromitsu agar jelly (the texture of agar is harder than jello and doesn't have much give so it just breaks when you bite into it), roasted brown rice bits, a rice cracker box and kuromitsu syrup. I think this has the perfect balance of matcha and kuromitsu and all the toppings complement the dessert extremely well; wouldn't change a thing. ⁣ ⁣ I've had this parfait twice in the past week at 2 different locations (yes, I really love it that much!) and one location filled the rice cracker box with red bean paste and mochi while the other didn't so not sure if was just a mistake. Either way it was delicious. read more

Would go back to try the shaved ice though. read more

After seeing the ridiculous lines and giving up multiple times, finally made it on a Thursday afternoon with only a line of about 10 people so it only took about 5 mins. Tried the softserve twist just to see what the hype was. The matcha flavour was SO good. The vanilla was kinda lacking though and had a yogurty flavour but still better than a lot of soft serve places. (Although to be completely honest my favourite soft serve is and will always be McDonalds) My friend had the Tsujiri float which also reminded me of a Starbucks matcha frap with ice cream on top. Very good! She ordered a small but they had run out of small cups so they gave her one in a medium size! Is it worth to wait? I'm still unsure. But I'll gladly go when there isnt a line up out the door. read more

I LOVE matcha ice cream. This is like straight from japan matcha ice cream. However the service is terribly slow.

Hope you're not in a rush, but if you have some time to spare, get the soft serve. read more

I absolutely love, love, love anything matcha, but I don't think this place is worth it. 1. It's too expensive. $7.50 for a matcha soft serve sundae is absolutely ridiculous and the actual sundae does not justify this cost (yes, crazy enough to pay $7.50 to try it). 2. Flavour. The red bean paste was overkill and way too sweet. While eating the chiffon cake sundae, I felt like I was forcing myself to finish it opposed to really enjoying it. Additionally, it would be great if the matcha soft serve can be less sweet so you can actually taste the rich (slightly bitter taste) of matcha. Overall, Tsujiri is an expensive matcha soft serve place that's riding the hype bandwagon. They know it, and the prices reflect as such. Although I enjoyed the matcha soft serve, sponge cake, and the cornflakes within the chiffon soft serve sundae, I don't think I'll be back to Tsujiri unless I'm with friends who are really craving it. Luckily, I went in when there was no line (3:30pm on a Wednesday) but I definitely don't think this place is worth lining up for. If the price was decreased, I might reconsider my opinion. If I do return, I'd probably try a drink, the shaved ice, or the soft serve in the cone. read more

Tsujiri - Chiffon Cake Sundae with Matcha Soft Serve ($7.50+tax) - Tea Rooms Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'm sorry to say that this place is pure hype! I visited Tsujiri as part of my Toronto Ice Cream tour this summer. I've lately been growing into a pretty intensely passionate ice cream guy over the last year and having now made a point to try ice creams from coast to coast across Canada and as far away as Mangalore India, Tsujiri maintains its grip on the worst ice cream experience I've ever had SO FAR! You really really have to love Macha to love this place because that's all you're getting. This bad review isn't even inspired because I don't like Macha because I actually do enjoy it for the post part. The problem is that the ice cream here is bitter and so macha dominant that after you get over the very few bites of flare that they add to the cup, all you're left with is a bitter and stubborn obligation to finish what you overpaid for. I'm sorry, perhaps I'm being a bit brutal here but this place has earned it because the friend of mine and I who both came together had to take a seat and suffer through this experience just to feel like we gave this place a chance. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Came here after dinner on my birthday. Tsujiri is located just west of Eaton Centre within walking distance. I have wanted to try this place for awhile but the lineups were pretty ridiculous when the place diet opened up. There was a lineup when we got there but it was moving quite quickly. The store is really small and they only have enough seating for three groups of 2 and one group of 4. We managed to get the table for four. We ordered the matcha green tea and vanilla soft serve ice cream and also the Matcha Black Sesame Latte. Both the ice cream and the drink were excellent. The matcha flavour was nice and strong in both and I really enjoyed the black sesame flavour in the drink. The prices are a bit above average but I would definitely return if I am in the mood for something sweet! read more

I came here with a few friends after dinner on a Thursday night around 10pm and we still had to wait in line! The line moved pretty quickly though so kudos for quick service. While lining up, there is a menu that you can see on the wall. Smart placement. We got the TSUJIRI Soft Cream (small $4.75) and it was a portion enough to share between two. The matcha flavour was intense, balanced sweetness, very smooth, with no bitter end. I think the menu is overpriced though. The staff is friendly and they run like a smoothly oiled machine, working efficiently. My friends and I sat at the Chabudai table located at the back, had a great time, ended up staying until 11pm unintentionally but they were nice enough not to kick us out. I would still recommend this place to try for matcha lovers. read more

This is a must for me whenever I pass by it! Completely in love with the houjicha and matcha ice cream. Usually the standard sundae or the shiratama sundae is what I order and usually the latter. I think the ice cream itself is good enough, but the mochi, rice balls, and cookie on the sundae are only so-so (not much taste). It's really light in flavour and I'm pretty partial to any type of soft-serve, and not too sweet! The cheesecake is also really good but a little pricy. If you're looking for something different, I definitely recommend the Yuzu Citron drink - it can be a little sweet if you don't mix the slush around, but very fragrant! read more

Small dessert shop on Dundas, very closeby to a ton of other Asian-style dessert offerings. Their prices are on the higher end for their size and the store itself is tiny, seating about 10-12 people. Staff are super friendly, but it takes quite a while to get your desserts and you'll likely have to eat elsewhere or walk while eating, as seating is almost impossible during afternoons and late evening time periods. As well, at nights and on weekends, the lineup easily stretches out the door. read more

Pretty good matcha ice cream! Although it's pricey, I'd say that if you're a fan of legit Japanese matcha drinks and desserts, this place is worth it. I had the sundae with the flower cookie and I enjoyed it a lot. That's because each component of the sundae really shone through, which added to the taste and texture of the sundae! I'd have to say it was one of the most interesting sundaes I've had. My favourite part was when I got to the honey layer - it was sweet and paired so well with the ice cream! FYI they sell roll cakes, mochi and cream puffs now! I think next time I'd like to try the mochi and a houjicha drink, just to see how their non-matcha drinks are like. read more

If you love matcha, this is your new haven. It's green tea everything! That said, I got the soft served, mixed with vanilla on a waffle cone. It was good. Next time if I decide to go again, I'd get it with red bean topping. I also thought it was pretty pricey. We got two small soft serve ice cream on a waffle cone and it was $13 something. I don't know, I guess it's what you pay for the fad. I wasn't disappointed, but I wasn't super impressed. I'd probably go back here again if I'm in the area and there's no line-up...but if you're into something sweet, this may not be the best place to hit-up. Basically, I'd only recommend this place to a die-hard matcha lover. read more

The matcha here is top notch is so delicious, We checked it out on opening day, and the logistics of the place was terrible. The layout to restaurant wasn't planned very well, as the line up really congests the tea room. After visiting it recently the line has improved, and service has become slightly quicker. I've tried the shaved ice, soft serve, and sundaes in the past, and they are all very rich in matcha. My only complaint would be that the soft serve ice cream melted very fast. On the streetcar, I found myself with a lot of melted ice cream on my dress because I didn't have tissue. read more

Amazing matcha place and I would definitely recommend anyone visiting Toronto to try! Their soft serve matcha ice cream is a good blend of bitter and sweet, though the parfait is better since the red beans balance out the bitterness of the matcha ice cream even more. They also have cute tatami mats inside that can seat four! read more

So much hype about this place and I finally get to try this place two weeks ago before the long weekend. I guess i came at the right time, because lineup was not bad at all and we managed to find a table inside the restaurant. Very modern decor with 3 small tables on the side and one big one at the back. Relatively small, but considering this is in downtown, I thought the amount of seating was reasonable. Ordered a Matcha Float and TSUJIRI Sundae and both were just an okay. The matcha flavour was decent, but I had stronger ones before. The float I thought didn't really blend well with the traditional matcha ice cream and after melting it tasted more like a slush. The additional toppings on the Sundae didn't really give the wow impact either and it just felt like they are there just so you don't feel ripped off paying so much for a Sundae. I probably will not come back again unless I really want to have a quick matcha soft serve. read more

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this place but finally decided to give it a try myself. We got the matcha shake with vanilla ice cream and the chiffon cake sundae. The soft serve ice cream was quite delectable, soft, creamy, not too sweet. The matcha one was particularly tasty, with a strong matcha flavour and not too much sugar. The rest of the sundae was not worth the price paid ($8 for a small sundae), nothing special about the chiffon cake, red bean paste a bit too sweet for my taste and corn flakes were not necessary in my opinion. Overall, the ice cream was good, the rest of the sundae sub par and the whole deal definely not worth the $8 The matcha with vanilla float was okay, ice cream good, matcha shake average. Syrup was added to the matcha shake and not stirred... Making the bottom of the shake very very very sweet. read more

Tsujiri - Shiratama parfait and matcha latte - Tea Rooms Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Tsujiri is very small and is mainly for takeout desserts, although there is seating inside (but you probably won't find a seat.) The cafe's popularity means that more often than not, the line extends out the door, especially in the summer time. Try to avoid peak hours if possible - on the night we went to Santosei, the line for Tsujiri went out the door and past a few shops. The shop is small and only have a few staff, so don't expect the line to move too quickly! The shop itself is decorated in a very Japanese style, from the color schemes, wooden paneling, to the inside seated area. The cafe offers a selection of hot beverages and teas, lattes, ice creams, shaved ice, cream puffs, and cakes. Although it's a matcha cafe, many of the ice cream options offer a matcha/vanilla swirl, or plain vanilla flavor soft serve. I ordered the Chiffon Cake Sundae with a mixed vanilla/matcha swirl, and my friend got the Tsujiri Sundae (also with matcha/vanilla). The vanilla and matcha swirl is a nice balance as the vanilla gives a more creamy and subdued flavor. The cake was a bit dry but had a soft and light texture. Beneath the soft serve was a layer of cornflakes, which lends a pleasantly surprising crunch! The Tsujiri Sundae was a mixed swirl of soft serve atop a layer of granola, layered with red bean syrup and topped with a sakura cookie, rice mochi, and a ball of chestnut. The chestnut was really stinky for some reason? but it tasted really nice! Both sundaes were $7.50 each. TAKE NOTE: Tsujiri only accepts cash. 3 stars for tasty treats, -1 expensive for the amount you get, -1 for limited seating and sometimes slow service. read more

I've never been a fan of matcha flavoured anything...until I came to Tsujiri! My wife and I had a late night ice cream craving and came across Tsujiri, which was highly rated on yelp and for good reason. The staff is friendly and willing to give you samples, the prices are somewhat reasonable ($5 for a waffle cone or cup of matcha ice cream) and the soft serve ice cream is unbelievable. I found this flavour to be subtle unlike other matcha ice creams I've had in the past and it did not give me an after taste. They also have a wide variety of lattes and shakes for you to choose from (menu is attached), which I will definitely try in the future. Lastly, they also have ample seating room if you want to hang out. Definitely check this place out! read more
