Overall, reviews describe Bêden Càphê as a cozy, beautifully decorated, welcoming spot in Montreal with friendly, attentive staff and a calm, inviting atmosphere that suits a quiet coffee break or a casual meal with friends. The menu blends Vietnamese flavors with inventive twists and is noted for changes with the seasons, including crowd pleasers such as banh mi and a range of soups like pork char siu wonton, while the Vietnamese coffee selection, including egg coffee and iced coffee, is praised for balance and richness; drinks such as matcha, taro, hojicha lattes and bubble tea are also popular. The food and pastries receive high marks, from pâté chaud and imperial rolls to lotus biscoff waffles and tiramisu, and the space often features a warm, friendly vibe with occasional live music that enhances the ambiance. Decor and motifs invoke Vietnamese culture, creating a cozy, stylish vibe that makes it feel like a hidden gem with good value, and the staff, including the owner, are repeatedly singled out for kindness and helpfulness. The overall impression across reviews is a place to return to again and again to explore more of the menu and enjoy a welcoming, delicious experience.
Omg, je suis en amour avec ce café. J'ai pris la soupe porc char siu & le café glacé vietnamien, & c'était PARFAIT. J'ai habité en Asie pendant un moment &, depuis mon retour à Montréal, c'est la première fois que je retrouve les saveurs authentiques & goûteuses qui me manquent tant. 10/10!
Ce café est excellent pour savourer un bon'bánh mì' (sandwich vietnamien) ou encore un savoureux pâté chaud (feuilleté vietnamien). Il faut, évidemment, commander le typique café vietnamien. Le service est courtois & professionnel.
Un bon café vietnamien à découvrir en plein coeur de Montréal.
BRAVO 👍.

The cafe is truly beautiful & inviting, with an aesthetically pleasing design. I particularly appreciate the Vietnamese fusion offerings, & the staff members are so welcoming. They have a continuously evolving menu, & the drinks are seasonally inspired.
J'adore ce café ! Je le recommande à 100%. Le café & les plats sont excellents (à goûter absolument les café vietnamien : egg coffee), l'ambiance est très apaisante avec le fond de musique. & le service est très agréables ;) J'y vais personnellement pour travailler c'est super !
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!
Coming from Toronto & picked this one base on review, & I believe this is one of my best decisions for the trip. Their Banh Mi is amazing, taste almost like authentic in Vietnam, especially the bread. Matcha is delicious, must try. I love the shop vibe, the serve (look like owner/manager) is very friendly, nice, & kind. Highly recommend, except hard to find parking.

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!
Excellent restaurant.!! Juste WOW.!! Le café vietnamien est tout simplement incroyable. Je suis allé au Vietnam dernièrement & ce restaurant de Montréal arrive à la même qualité que les cafés & banhmi du Vietnam. J'y retourne certainement pour goûter à tout le menu. Je recommande & vous ne serez pas déçu.!!
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!
I absolutely loved my experience at Beden Caphe! Their new breakfast menu is amazing-my favorites were the fluffy bêgels with Vietnamese sausages, BBQ pork, & Italian charcuterie, plus the buttery croissant with homemade Vietnamese charcuterie. The drinks were just as incredible, especially the Vietnamese egg latté & matcha white chocolate.
The owner is the sweetest person ever-so warm & caring, she made sure everything was perfect. If you're in Montreal, you have to check out this spot at 1708 Laurier Ave E. Highly recommend!
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 :(
