Tsujiri Dundas

Tsujiri Dundas brings the authentic spirit of Japanese tea culture to the heart of downtown Toronto. As the first North American outpost of a historic, 150-year-old Kyoto brand, this cozy spot is a haven for matcha enthusiasts seeking high-quality green tea treats with a refined, balanced sweetness. The shop is famous for its premium-grade Uji matcha, which is whisked fresh directly in front of customers. Visitors can customize their drinks with milk alternatives like oat, soy, and lactose-free options, or explore a menu of traditional-yet-innovative desserts, including parfaits, floats, and soft serve.

Regulars rave about the rich, authentic flavor of the matcha soft serve, noting that it strikes the perfect balance between high-quality bitterness and subtle sweetness. Beyond ice cream, the patisserie selection features delicate treats like matcha cheesecakes and yuzu floats.

Because the shop prioritizes authentic ingredients and meticulous preparation, prices lean toward the premium side. The space itself is quite small with limited seating, meaning it can get crowded quickly. However, convenient takeout and delivery services make it easy to enjoy these historic Japanese flavors on the go, offering a brief, delicious escape into the traditions of Kyoto craftsmanship.
