Reviews describe Kahwa Café as a busy, cozy spot where fresh bread is baked on site and sandwiches like the chicken panko, lamb, merguez, kebab libre, falafel, and chicken parm are flavorful and well valued. Many praise the homemade bread, the tasty sauces, and the affordable prices, with takeout and an outdoor terrace helping when seating is tight. The vibe is lively and the service is described as friendly and efficient, though the dining area can feel small or loud. Long lines are common, but most testers feel the wait is worth the quality. A few notes mention occasional issues with cleanliness or consistency across locations, yet the bread and fillings receive constant compliments. Overall Kahwa Café is considered one of the top sandwich spots in Montreal, a reliable spot for a quick, satisfying lunch and a place many plan to return to to try more flavors.
As soon as you enter this lovely little sandwich shop, you're greeted very kindly & warmly with a great smile from Victor & Louis who took the time to explain the menu & the concept properly as it was my first time visiting. Their most popular item is their chicken sandwich & rightfully so 🤤. Their bread is made fresh in house & everything looks very appetizing. Their chicken is marinated for 24 hours & was full of flavor. I had the chance to meet Paul, the owner of that establishment & had a delightful conversation regarding their multiple locations . Overall great service, Great sandwich, Great spot! Must try. Definitely recommend
The best sandwich ive had. The bread is made on the spot with amazing texture, the chicken is juicy & flavorful, the veggies & the sauce go so well together, I love it. The people always serve with a smile & are very warm. Love the vibes

My Tunisian friend introduce me to this stop & since I haven't stop going. Yess it's that good & now my sister love it. Every time the team it's so friendly! Thank you!
I tried Qahwa yesterday, an Arabic-style sandwich spot with more of a street food vibe than a sit-down restaurant.
The place itself is pretty simple & not the cleanest, so don't expect anything fancy or polished. That said, the food is where it really stands out. They make their bread in-house, which makes a huge difference.
I ordered a chicken sandwich with merguez (& added extra merguez), & it was honestly delicious. The flavors were rich, well-seasoned, & very satisfying.
Overall, if you care more about taste than ambiance, it's definitely worth trying

Excellent service & les sandwichs sont succulents ! Juste peut-être doubler les sacs pour le takeout pour éviter les mauvaises surprises avec la sauce des sandwichs !
