Juillet Cafe - Burnaby, BC

my go-to place for matcha in burnaby and coquitlam! they have the slightly cheaper regular matcha lattes and then they have the premium matcha drinks like the strawberry and lavender.

the strawberry matcha has a really good flavour, i like that they use strawberry purée in it. do note that the glasses they use for the premium drinks are smaller though. if you want more matcha for a little less $ the iced matcha latte without the special flavours is great too.

unfortunately the sandwiches and cakes aren’t that good especially for the price point, i’ve found myself being disappointed each time i ordered any of them.

but overall it’s a really good cafe, especially if you’re looking for somewhere to fuel up on matcha and study! there are usually a lot of students - this place has several outlets and they usually have a good playlist on.

I was really disappointed with the original matcha I ordered. It was unexpectedly grainy—something I’ve never encountered before with matcha, and it made the drink unpleasant. Considering we paid around $30 total (with tips), it felt like a letdown. Oddly enough, the pistachio matcha was great, so it seems like the issue was specific to the original blend. For a premium spot, I don’t think they should be serving matcha with this texture—it just doesn’t meet the standard.

I came here on two difference instances, first I tried the strawberry matcha and my friend and I agreed it was a 10/10. The strawberry purée mixed in well with the matcha itself unlike other places. The paragon matcha they use is very high quality and I enjoy the smoothness of this drink.
Then I tried a ginger matcha here because I saw it was a new menu item but I would probably not get it again. The ginger beer in the drink was too overpowering and the carbonation was strange with the matcha. The ginger and citrus flavours were great but I think just not for me. 5/10
The earl grey hojicha with oat milk on the other hand was great! My friend gave it a 8.5/10. Incredibly smooth, creamy and the earl grey paired very nicely with the nutty hojicha.
This place is also great for studying, there are many students seen here studying or chatting so it is a bit loud. But overall I highly recommend! It is to note that paragon matcha is made to be drank with oat milk/plant based milk.

Lovely drink selection. Very spacious. Good study/working location. Not the most “aesthetic” cafe out there but definitely a good place to catch up with friends.

One of the best Korean cafes in Lougheed. The space is bright with lots of seating and the limited pistachio pandan matcha was absolutely amazing!

loved their premium matcha! it could’ve been because we went right after school hours, but seating was a bit limited. the interior was nice as well as their staff!

didn’t get to try the ceremonial Matcha and got the Ube Matcha. because it was sold out the barista was really nice the Matcha Ube, though it was not my cup of tea, but I will give it a try next time for the ceremonial Matcha. The HOJICHA THO it was insane nutty. It tasted like paragon tea room. I loved it.

I am really not trying to be overly critical but I went here last Thursday and had the worst, not even kidding, THE worst matcha latte of my life. I even paid more for ceremonial grade matcha and either whoever worked that day can't make a matcha latte(?), used the wrong matcha, or both. My friend recommended the matcha but I was really disappointed. I hope next time is better!
