Visitors describe Café Kujira as a small, cozy neighborhood spot with a calm, welcoming vibe and friendly staff. Coffee and matcha are often praised, with standout treats like a cardamom cookie and matcha biscuits, and a menu that covers both sweet and savory options. The location near a park adds to the appeal, and the space is noted to be compact and sometimes busy, with limited seating and occasional wifi hiccups. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, and the place is dog friendly, a positive for many visitors. A few reviews mention beverage missteps such as bitter or acidic filtered coffee or a matcha cookie that misses the mark, and some note prices as high for downtown. Still, the overall impression is that Café Kujira offers good value, quality coffee, tasty pastries, and a welcoming, neighborhood vibe.
A cute cafe by a park. Their (matcha) & coffee was good & they had unique sweet treats & breakfast foods. We loved the cardamom cookie! There's not many tables inside-maybe 10 seats overall, & it was packed!
Really nice neighborhood cafe. Really good coffee - ordered a decaf latte. The place is super dog friendly... there are treats at the register & a dog park across the street. Really friendly service as well. But sure if they have wifi though & the space is tiny so not the best for study.
Lovely little cafe in the corner, coffee is tasty & service is very good. Environment is warm & nice. Merchandise featuring their logo is available. Kujira in japanese, means'whale'
My favourite neighborhood café! Cozy spot ideal for a quick coffee stop. They have limited seating inside, but there's a lovely park just across the street to enjoy your warm drinks.
I go to this cafe very frequently & the quality is always consistently great. The staff is awesome, the prices are fair, & the coffee is great. Highly recommend the matcha cookies!

If I lived in Montreal this is where I would be a regular. Amazing coffee, plenty of vegan pastry options, kind staff, & cozy atmosphere. If you care about good coffee, this is where you need to go. I also highly recommend the banana bread!

Wonderful find...lovely little cafe not far from where we are staying...lattes were wonderful...croissants so light & flaky...& a great welcome & engaging conversation with the woman who made our coffee!!! Look forward to going back!
Coffee wasnt worse or better than usual, but the real problem is the awful sandwich i got that consisted only of a single slices of meat & mismatched cubes of cold butted for ~10$. Its probably a nice place to get your morning coffee & study tho. Maybe it was bad luck but i dont believe it since it was promoted on the menu as being "new". Big brain idea.
This is the kind of cafeteria you want to be at: great service, clean, view to a park, versatil clientele… great & flavory coffee. Good food portions. Nice soft music at a perfect volume. Small dinning room but not too crowded in the mornings. Decent prices.
