On Notre-Dame Est in Old Montreal, inside a restored 1865 building on one of the city's oldest streets, Matcha Haüs Atelier is a matcha-focused café and tea house founded by Svetlana. The concept sits between Japanese tea ritual and New York café culture, with neo-soul and lo-fi as the soundtrack and a biophilic interior of warm wood, soft light, and layered greenery designed to slow things down. The drinks program centers on ceremonial matcha pours, lattes including a black sesame matcha, functional non-alcoholic blends formulated for focus and calm, and a single matcha martini. Brownies and cookies round out the food offer.
