Positive reviews highlight the taste, noting it can be one of the best experiences in Toronto ('One of the best coffees I've had in Toronto'). However, many found the matcha lacking, describing it as watery or mild and sometimes tasting like grass or nothing at all. Some guests appreciate its subtle sweetness but are disappointed when it doesn't live up to expectations for a $7 drink. The matcha latte is frequently mentioned, with prices ranging from $6.05 to over $7 for a large size. Overall, the quality of the matcha varies widely among visitors, who suggest that while some batches are excellent, others fall short. In terms of value, guests often report that the authenticity and quality could improve to better justify its price point.
