Founded in Montreal and the first-ever sub-brand of Fuwa Fuwa, Café Noya offers a fresh take on Japanese cuisine in a unique coffee and bar place. It serves comfort home-cooked meals.
Reviews describe Café Noya as a cute cozy udon and onigiri cafe near McGill with a friendly casual vibe and a diverse menu that includes gyoza desserts and a strong range of matcha drinks. The broth and beef udon are praised for warmth and depth, the onigiri are fresh and flavorful, and the tiramisu matcha and other desserts are tempting, while some items are noted as small for the price and a few dishes miss expected notes of miso or mushroom. Service is generally friendly and efficient, though busy times can bring delays and occasional order mix ups. The space is seen as comfortable for studying and hanging out, with reasonable prices for drinks and a location that attracts students, making Café Noya feel like a reliable casual Japanese cafe experience and a good option for matcha lovers.
I had the miso/mushroom Udon & the salmon Onigiri. I was disappointed of the Udon dish since it was literally udon in alfredo sauce. It was good but really not what I was expecting. The salmon onigiri was ok🤷?♀?
Udon creamy miso is pretty plain but good when you add meat. Unagi onigiri needed more unagi. Omurice was alright. Chashu fried rice wasn't bad. Basque cheesecake was delicious, better than the cafe nearby that specializes. Hojicha cookie was good.

SO SO SOOO GOOD, quality of food is amazing, & prices are justified for the portion. & the interior is really cozy too. Overall it's a great place for a lunch!
The beef udon was very good, with a runny egg & perfectly cooked udon noodles. Soup was steaming hot, perfect for a cold day. The cookies were also very good, a bit on the sweet side

Super cozy & cute spot! The udon was savoury & hot, perfect for winter. I tried the tiramisu matcha & it was delicious & had the perfect amount of sweetness. Would definitely come back!
