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.

Oh wow ! I had such an amazing experience here. The young lady that helped me is from Vietnam & I remember just getting the best service while there. The banhi mi with patè was absolutely amazing & I really loved my matcha with condensed coconut milk. Highly recommend coming here. Also the decor is cute, & it was it not crowded when I went.

Incredible little coffee shop that serves delectable Banh Mi's & very good vermicelli bowls. Also the bubble tea is huge! I definitely will be going back for lunch.
It was so good that we didn't think about taking pictures. Delicious, fresh, many flavours & textures. We had 2 different viet coffee, a banh mi & a bao for brunch. The owner was super nice & explained her family story. Our baby was welcomed too. We'll come back for sure !
It is a great spot. The food & drinks taste amazing, the vibe is chill & it's so full of beautiful & cool decor that you can work here or catch up with friends in a beautiful space. Love the Bê matcha, tofu buns, viet cappuccino & veggie spring rolls 💯

J'habite tout près & je m'y suis arrêté aujourd'hui pour satisfaire un craving de bubble tea. Non seulement était-il délicieux, mais la dame qui m'a accueilli a insisté pour que je le goûte devant elle avant de quitter parce qu'elle voulait s'assurer qu'il soit parfaitement sucré à mon goût. Un ange! & le genre de petite attention qui donne envie d'y retourner :-)
Wow les bao buns étaient délicieux. J'hésitais de commander celui au tofu, car souvent les restaurateurs ne donnent pas autant d'amour au tofu qu'aux viandes. Mais la c'était 10/10 le tofu était vraiment savoureux 🤤. J'ai adoré mon matcha latte glacé aussi! Mon copain a bien aimé son sandwich & son thé. La décoration est incroyable. On se sent choyé que ce restaurant soit à côté de chez nous 🥰 on va y retourner avec toute la famille hihi
This place is simply amazing! Once you enter the café, you are transported to a tastefully decorated café with the sweetest owner. We fell in love with the book wall & piano corner. The owner actually takes the time to explain everything if you are indecisive like us! She truly cares about her customers & makes us very welcomed! The food & drinks are amazing, innovating, & just delicious! No wonder they have so many regular customers, I would go every day if I lived close by. A must try is their croissant banh mi, a nice twist to the classic banh mi, it's original & works perfectly! The pâté so is a must! Trust me! Their drink selections is getting bigger & bigger with the mastermind (owner) behind them who keeps coming up with new ideas, we love that! Vietname coffee with condensed milk is a must, reminds us of Vietnam itself! A true gem on Laurier. You go for the drinks/food, stay for the lovely owner who wil become your new bestfriend!
Excellent to go for a coffee & work. Also, the atmosphere invites you to stay longer because of how quiet & cozy it is. Finally, the service makes me feel at home.
Okay... I grew up around Vietnamese food & I visited Vietnam back in 2018. Imagine my excitement when I discovered this newly opened Vietnamese cafe this year! I only had an egg coffee which was delicious! My friend ordered the banh-mi & he said it is better than his favourite Vietnamese banh-mi place at jean-talon. The food is close to authentic, so I'm over the moon. It's a bit far from where Iive, so I can't come often. Whenever I pass by this neighborhood, I'll definitely stop by this place to grab something to eat.
