I stopped by Bêden on Laurier Street ton a Monday morning. The place itself is cute, with a nice, cozy vibe, quiet for a Monday, which made it perfect for a calm coffee break.
I had a filtered coffee, which was quite good, smooth & well-balanced. While I was there, the lady behind the counter was baking something that wasn't exactly a bagel, but more like a soft dough filled with cheese & vegetables, eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms, & cheese. The smell was incredible, & the taste was even better.
Overall, it's a cute spot for a quiet coffee & a little homemade treat.
I went the first time there in December for a cup of Vietnamese coffee & a tiramisu. As I really enjoyed the experience & I returned with a group of friends & I tried the best wonton soup of Montreal & some Vietnamese sweets. Last week, I tried a banh mi & it exceeded all my expectations. The owner & her staff are very nice & they are always ready to help you when one doesn't know the Vietnamese gastronomy (my case). I highly recommend this coffee shop!
I've been to Bê ?en Caphê a couple of times now & it's quickly becoming one of my favorite cozy spots. The decor is super cute & playful, & it's such a fun place to catch up with friends or just treat yourself on a solo date.
On my first visit, I went straight for the spicy pork bánh mì… it was huge, messy in the best way, & so satisfying with crispy toasted bread, juicy flavorful meat, crunchy veggies, & a nice hit of heat from fresh peppers. Their Vietnamese iced coffee was exactly how I like it… sweet, strong, & smooth. Perfect balance.
More recently I was invited back for their fall menu tasting, & it felt like the perfect seasonal pick-me-up. The Vietnamese coffee pumpkin spice (loved the hot version!) was bold & cozy with all the warm spices. On the sweet side, the Lotus Biscoff waffle is a must-try & the apple & cinnamon waffle gave that nostalgic fall-snack feeling.
For savory bites, the pork char siu soup was hearty & comforting, while the imperial roll & fried wontons were crisp, golden, & paired beautifully with their sauces.
Delicious food, a gorgeous spot, & they even have live music at times (they sometimes have a pianist come play)… definitely the kind of cozy restaurant I love coming back to.

Come hang out!
Had the Vietnamese iced coffee with egg - just the right amount of sweetness & creaminess.
Also tried the banh mi nem, the bread was perfectly toasted & the flavours were well balanced.
The staff were also so friendly & welcoming. Will definitely be back!

What a great coffee shop! You can bring your laptop to study or work here, there's plugs everywhere available & free WiFi. There's so much variety offered for every kind of taste buds, but I came specifically to try their signature Vietnamese egg coffee. It was great & definitely hit the spot. Then out of nowhere, a pianist started playing, changing from one tune to the next seamlessly, it was such a vibe!
This coffee shop was suggested by a friend & it did not disappoint. From the moment you step in, you're welcomed with a cozy atmosphere & an inviting vibe that makes you feel right at home. The menu- I feel - has a little something for everyone. I was there for a coffee ended up trying a soup & a Pattie, the variety of drinks, light bites & full meal options is well balanced & not overdone! The staff are warm & attentive, adding to the delightful experience. I explained I was lactose intolerant (yes I'm that annoying person) & I was still able to get a really yummy matcha tea! A true gem! I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend for lunch date or coffee lovers!!
This cafe is a gem! The pork buns are delicious, the papaya salad is fresh & flavorful, & the Vietnamese egg coffee is a must-try. Don't miss the poutine-it's a fantastic fusion of Quebec & Vietnam that's totally unique. Plus, the staff are super friendly! Highly recommend!
Absolute gem of a place in Montreal. They serve desserts, coffee, matcha drinks, sandwiches & other vietnamese dishes. The service was fantastic & I will be coming back to try more of their food in the future.
Very nice Vietnamese cafe. The banh mi & egg coffee were delicious. The atmosphere was very nice & cozy. The service was amazing, very nice people. I definitely would like to visit again.
Such a cutee & cozzy Vietnamese restaurant!!! I got egg coffee, vermicelli & also tried a bite from tofu banh mi. They were so good!! The tofu banh mi was surprisingly delicious:) we were planning to order another egg coffee but unfortunately they ran out :(
