Les Impertinentes
About
Many note the pure, authentic flavor of their matcha latte, which they describe as having a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. However, some reviewers found the latte tasteless and watered down, expressing significant disappointment at the high price tag. The matcha lemonade is also a standout item among visitors, with several flagging it as a must-try alongside the pistachio and lavender variations. Guests appreciate the vegan options available but occasionally report that the matcha with strawberry jam tasted more like just milk than a rich matcha experience. While the matcha latte can be considered pricey at $9 before tax, others find it well worth the cost due to its delicious taste. The cafe's atmosphere is frequently noted as charming and inviting, making it a delightful place for solo dining or reading. Staff are described as friendly and knowledgeable in making recommendations, though there were minor instances of being out of certain items. Les Impertinentes maintains a balance between quality service and an authentic matcha experience that has earned its reputation as one of the best in Montreal. Customers find the overall experience satisfying despite some price concerns, with many considering it super good and the best matcha in town.
