    Randomly stopped here while waiting at the walk in clinic and really happy that I did. A very cute joint with a lot of Japanese options. I had the matcha cream croissant and the croissant was crisp and flaky, and it was nicely sweet. They also have croffles! (Croissant waffles) The decor makes a very pleasant place to stay for awhile. Free wifi as well.

    Matcha was the best one I've had in Canada. Definitely recommend. Only thing missing was the honey I usually add.

    We've been seeing Z3 Specialty Coffee coming up in our Yelp zone for a couple of days now, so last night on the way home, we decided to zone in on it, find it, go in and take a look around, and above all, try their coffee! They are advertising themselves on their website as "The First Japanese Coffee House in Ottawa". They are probably right! One thing you will noticed right off the bat is that they are open LONG hours! Another thing: being based in this particular plaza - the Kanata Town Centre - they offer plenty of parking. You might find it a tad hard to find at first, but trust me - it IS there! It's in the same plaza as the new Mandarin Restaurant, and the Food Basics. The buses used to leave Kanata from here, heading farther afield (ie: I'm referring to the Greyhoud buses, going to Toronto etc.), although I'm not certain that they still leave from here. It's a decent sized shop, with plenty of room to sit for a while. (I'm thinking of my knitting group get-togethers!) They grind your beans fresh, and make fancy coffees, like pour-overs. This place very much reminded me of "Platform 7" in Vancouver. There's lots of excitement! It's very different than what we are used to here in Ottawa. We ordered a Latte for me, and an American for the hubster. The coffee was maybe a little stronger than the competition, but it was really good! I'm looking forward to going back.

    This adorable Asian style cafe is hidden in the suburbs of Kanata but it's actually amazing! The outside/signage is quite deceiving, leading me to not discover it sooner. The interior is tastefully decorated and features a "picnic" section complete with picnic style tables on artificial grass. There are beautiful paintings of Sakura trees on the walls and the space feels open and fresh! The Japanese music adds a very nice touch as well. According to the website, staying is encouraged and there is wifi and many power outlets to support this claim. The menu features a wide assortment of drinks including items such as fruit soda that can often be different to find. The Sakura tea I ordered came in a super cute glass cat mug, perfectly matching their kitty coasters. The owners are also super nice and helpful. Overall it's just a fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommend!!

    Very cozy spot for some very unique drinks. Perfect for a first date or a hangout with friends.

    We discovered this little hidden cafe in Kanata few weeks ago, I get super excited when new cafes open in the west end, especially if they open late and got some nice desserts! Decor is very cute, they have a big painted cherry blossom and little baskets as if you are in the forest and having a picnic. Service was excellent very nice and knowledgable and really kind. I got a rose tea which was sweet and different . We also shared a yummy strawberry bubble waffle. They also have a whole fridge full with Pokémon soft drinks, which made my son super excited to drink them all! I can't wait to come in the morning so I can try their speciality coffee.

    See all
