First time visiting this Japanese cafe and was very impressed! I wanted to try their matcha but ended up trying their Hojicha which was nice as well. The price is a bit steep but I’d say it’s worth it for the quality. I plan to go to this cafe again in the future.

My favourite cafe in town. I’ve tried almost everything on the menu and hadn’t been disappointed once. The service was friendly.

Tsujiri is such a cute matcha-themed Japanese cafe and one of my favourite spots when I’m craving something matcha or hojicha. The service is always super friendly and quick. There’s one staff member (I think he might be the owner?) who’s always there when I go and he’s super kind. They also bring the order right to your table, which is nice.
The menu is great if you love matcha and hojicha. They have soft serve, drinks, floats, lattes, daifuku, and even full-size cakes (and mini ones too). You can choose between matcha and hojicha flavours for a lot of things, which I love. Everything is beautifully served! It is a bit pricier, but the quality and uniqueness makes it worth it.
Personally, I really recommend the hojicha soft serve. It has that roasted, earthy flavour and isn’t as intense as the matcha. The matcha flavour is also good, just very bold and strong (in a good way, just depends on your preference).
Some of my favourites so far: • Hojicha soft serve • Matcha cream strawberry daifuku (with red bean inside) • Kinako daifuku
I’ve also tried the hot hojicha latte, which was tasty but a little rich for me.
The atmosphere is quiet and calm with soft piano/Ghibli music playing in the background. It’s a smaller space, but there’s usually seating available and it works fine for small groups (2–4 people). It’s a really cozy place to sit and chat.
Highly recommend :)

I am a matcha lover, so I am glad we have a place in Waterloo. I came here sometime as I love the desserts and matcha drinks. Last week when I visited again, I had ordered 2 drinks, a dessert, and an Udong. The music was so loud that I had to higher my voice, and the lady seemed like not to be in a good mood. Anyhow, I did the order and waited at the table with my kids. Later she came with 3 drinks and I realized in the receipt were 3 drinks checked in. I thought she would take the one drink back and refund it, but she said just sorry and left. Was quite disappointed that she didn't repeat the orders before I did the payment. This was the first time I felt bad there since I visited this place, and was after that not in a good mood. Maybe I should've checked the order again, but the reaction from the lady was disappointed anyway. As they are having real matcha, I really love their beverages, and understand the price is a bit expensive, but the food is too pricy as the portion is quite small. I may not go there for a while.
I really love this place. I really love the ice cream, and the way they handle matcha. The owners seem to be really sweet too.
I wish it were cheaper, but the quality of the matcha is really good, so I'll let it pass for a once-in-a-while treat.

This is the best place for matcha in the tri-cities. I'm torn because I want Tsujiri to have enough support that it never goes out of business here, but I also don't want it to get too busy that it's hard to stop in before work or class.
