Kahwa Café draws praise across reviews for fresh, house-made bread and generous, flavorful sandwiches that shine with a Tunisian influence, especially the chicken panko, kebab, merguez and falafel varieties. The bread is repeatedly highlighted as the star, baked on site and delivering a crusty exterior with a soft interior, while sauces add depth and the fillings feel fresh and well balanced. Service is consistently described as friendly and efficient, with prices widely considered affordable for the portion sizes. The ambiance is casual and welcoming, though some notes mention it can feel small or get loud when busy and that portions can vary between visits. Overall, the sandwiches are regarded as among the best in Montreal, with many readers choosing takeout to enjoy in nearby parks and a few locations applauded for their atmosphere and attentiveness of the staff.
La nourriture est très bonne avec une quantité généreuse de protéines pour tout les goûts & un excellent prix ... Le restaurant offre des sandwichs, repas rapides & cafés ...
Nouveau! Les portions sont égales à présent. Mes préférés: Kebab libre (agneau) & le poulet panko, mais ils sont tous bons!
J'ai mangé dans au dessus de 100 places à sandwichs à Montréal. Pour la qualité, fraîcheur, portion & prix, je n'ai rien trouvé de mieux que dans les Kahwa café! Service sympathique. Bravo au chef! Si j'avais une seule critique à faire est que les portions ne sont pas toujours égales entre les visites, surtout au niveau des protéines. Bien sûr, j'apprécie lorsqu'il y en a plus!

C'est le meilleur endroit pour des
sandwichs! Ils sont faits maison, & c'est incroyable de voir leur pain être cuit sur place. Mes favoris sont le sandwich Poulet panko & le Kébab libre (agneau). Définitivement, entre une poutine de La Banquise & ce délicieux sandwich de Chez Khawa Café, je préfère de loin celui-ci.
I've been to the Mont Royal street Kahwa Cafe & i must say their sandwich tastes different. I somewhat prefer the ones on Mont Royal but this one definitely has more flavour & spices. They are also much more filled with chicken than the ones at Mont Royal. The cashier is nice, the cooks don't really talk to u & they r a little slow but it was worth the wait. I'd say i waited 5-10min. Bread always fresh, chicken too. Wasn't too busy, the one of Mont Royal is always super duper busy. Idk why but the prices are different, it's more expensive on Rachel. Anyway, overall excellent, would definitely choose Rachel only if Mont Royal is too busy.
Food was good. 3 stars because the music was so loud I couldn't hear my thoughts & couldn't stay longer than I originally planned to do. Not a café vibe
Kahwa Café Rachel one is like no other! Their bread is always fresh I never finish a whole bread anywhere else, but at Kahwa I do every time. The Rachel location has the best service & honestly feels like you're having a full Tunisian experience right here in Montreal. Plus, Achraf & Joe are my buddies ❤?🤍they make every visit feel personal & welcoming. Hands down one of the best spots in the city!
Belle découverte sur la rue Rachel ! Les sandwichs sont excellents & à prix abordables. L'équipe du Kahwa café Rachel est très sympathique, ce qui offre une ambiance chaleureuse & accueillante au restaurant. J'y vais souvent & je ne suis jamais déçue autant par le service que par la qualité !
Best service & friendly staff! If ever you have any questions or comments don't hesitate to talk with them, they will always hear you out. The best Kahwa café in MTL.
This cafe was recommended to us by someone, so we tried it & weren't disappointed. My wife & I both ordered the Panko Chicken Sandwich which is in freshly made bread to order.
Generous amount of chicken in the sandwich, with fresh vegetables, & a sauce.
Every sandwich is made with freshly baked Oriental Panuzzo bread, which is amazing.
The service from the staff is friendly with a smile.
Experience the legendary sandwich on freshly made house bread, paired with exquisite organic coffee roasted in Montreal-only at Kahwa Cafe!
I recently visited this restaurant, & while the space is a bit small (I'm not sure about their other locations), the customer service was absolutely amazing!
As for the food, it was delicious. We tried their famous Chicken Panko sandwich ($10.80 + tax) - I'd rate it 3.5/5. It was good, but the Homemade Merguez sandwich ($10.80 + tax) was the real standout - 4.5/5!
I'll definitely be back & highly recommend giving this place a try. Their sandwiches are fresh, flavorful, & worth it!

Toujours bien accueillie dans une très bonne ambiance au Kahwa Café.
Merci à toute l'équipe du Kahwa Rachel de nous régaler à chaque passage avec le Poulet Panko !! Meilleur sandwich de tout Montréal. Une institution.
