Beautifully decorated Vietnamese coffee shop. The pâté chaud was among the best I've tasted, it's flavourful, crispy & flaky. There was a generous amount of filling inside their Banh Mi, which was delicious as well. Their Vietnamese iced coffee was a little bit too sweet for my taste (too much condensed milk), but good nevertheless.

WONDERFUL CAFE. There are no shortage of great cafes in Montrèal, & among them, Bêden Càphê stands out as the crown jewel. 💎 From the attentive service, to the delicious food & drink, to the unique atmosphere & decor, this place has it all. The owner is a warm & welcoming woman who works diligently & is a joy to talk to. ☺️ Treat yourself & pop inside to hang out with a friend or stay & work. You'll be glad you did! P.s. I had the warming wonton soup, egg coffee, & pandan tea. For those of you that like the earthy flavors found in barley tea or pu'er, pandan is in a similar taste bracket & I'd eagerly get both again. ✨️👌
Looking for a taste of Little Saigon? This is the spot! Just one look at the décor, & you'll know you've stepped into the right place-it's like being transported straight to Vietnam. The service is exactly what you'd expect from a cozy coffee shop, making you feel right at home. & when Bé is working, forget about it! She's full of energy, always smiling, & somehow makes everything better. Now, let's talk about the food. Best Paté Chô in town, hands down. & their soups? Pure Vietnamese comfort. As for the drinks... good luck trying to sample them all! They've got everything-regular coffee, special coffee, bubble tea-you name it. You'll need a whole week just to try them all, but hey, challenge accepted, right?
Cool, chic place to grab a quick bite or dine in. Service is always so friendly & personable! Food so far is great too! I've only tried the bahmis, a couple of bubble teas & fried pork roll... all delicious so far! Tapioca pearls chewiness is on point! I always make it a point to stop here whenever I'm in the area.
Superbe endroit pour prendre un café, travailler un peu, enjoy ce que le Vietnam a de très nice à offrir. Le café trad glacé est insane. Le grain Robusta a vraiment de quoi de particulier, si t'aimes le café corsé c'est vraiment hot. La proprio est trop smatt en plus, si le temps le permet pis que ça te tente, elle va te faire un ti tour des produits pis toute. Un gros oui!
Great atmosphere, great food. We took the Soupe au Porc Char Siu & it was fantastic with a light, but rich flavor. We also took the raviolis aux arachides & they were amazing as well!
Excellent service, nourriture, fraîche & authentique, idéal pour y aller entre amis pour travailler ou même avec les enfants le week-end un joyau du quartier à découvri

Une perle rare! Si vous cherchez une véritable expérience culinaire à Montréal, ne cherchez pas plus loin que ce café charmant. Dès que vous franchissez la porte, l'atmosphère chaleureuse & accueillante vous transporte directement. Leur spécialité ? Les bols vietnamiens, qui sont tout simplement exquis. Chaque bouchée est une explosion de saveurs, avec des ingrédients frais & de qualité. Les banh mi, quant à eux, sont parfaitement équilibrés : croustillants, savoureux & généreusement garnis. Mais ce qui m'a vraiment impressionné, ce sont les soupes. La wonton est un incontournable, riche en arômes & réconfortante à souhait. Le service est également à la hauteur, avec un personnel attentionné & passionné par la cuisine qu'il sert. En résumé, ce café vietnamien est sans conteste le meilleur de Montréal. Une adresse à ne pas manquer pour tous les amateurs de cuisine vietnamienne !
First time going here always wanted to stop in a see, was so happy to! So clean egg cappuccino was great & bao was yummy little snack will be going again
There is a lot of things - from something to drink or to eat, to go or to eat there. You have everything needed. I like the atmosphere, it is quite unique. I would say that the highlight is the service. The lady there was energetic & efficient.

La nourriture était tout simplement ; WoW !! Service impeccable & l'endroit parait vraiment bien aussi. Mais le plus gros highlight c'est la bouffe ! Tellement bien réussi. Le bol vermicelle goûtait carrément le Vietnam & la poutine au porc était une fusion parfaite Québec/vietnam. Le pâté chaud aussi est un incontournable ! Tout ça bien agencé avec de bons matchas, c'était parfait ! Nous allons revenir bientôt !! Merci !! (Pas de photos on a dévoré trop vite!!)
Totally in love with this delicious coffee shop. It's THE spot to go if you are in Laurier area. It's a good spot for dates, friendly chilling & even family gatherings. At BEDEN, you feel like you are part of the family. The friendliest service ever! Diana (the owner) should get an award of the sweetest & best service :) I recommend : All their vietnamese coffee Poutine (they use sweet potato frieds with asian ingredients) Banh Mi (just wow!) PATÉ CHAUD OBLIGATOIRE! Like this is one of the best I've tried so far in my life & it's top 1. I'm definitely going back to try more lf their vietnamese coffee variant!
Une vraie perle de café! Dès qu'on met le pied dans le commerce, on est impressionné par le magnifique décor. La propriétaire est un amour, tellement attentionnée & investie auprès de sa clientèle. Elle est fière de son menu & de ses plats & ça se comprend. Tout est absolument succulent. La panoplie de cafés permet de satisfaire toutes les palettes & les plats traditionnels vietnamiens (certains avec une twist locale & moderne) plairont à tous. La poutine aux patates douces est un must, le pâté de viande chaud aussi!
