The matcha latte I got was so incredibly yummy. The matcha itself is authentic and the size of the drink was definitely worth the price. Plus, staff are super friendly and

This matcha parfait did surprise me with its strong matcha flavour. I expected it to be sweet, creamy but didn't know it could taste so much like the ones I had in Japan! Of course the matcha flavour wasn't as delicate as in Japan, but there was indeed some aftertaste for the matcha. Combining with red bean and 白玉 this is the perfect matcha parfait to end a day.

Great food and fair ethnic diversity!The matcha latte with oat milk is fantastic! The interior is pretty and there is a calm ambience if you take a seat inside when it's not busy. I was pleasantly surprised to see a South Asian brother working at the cafe. Always great to find representation in small restaurants!Drinks 4/5Dine in 3.5/5Customer service 5/5

The portion size is smaller than their Scarborough storeA very special place for anything Matcha. Excellent location at Downtown North York. Courteous staff and very communicative and accommodating. It is a very special place representing authentic Japanese desserts. A gem.
