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.
Came by for a quick snack. I had the chicken & my partner had the kabob. Both were spectacular. Great flavors, amazingly affordable, textured were lovely. Can't recommend enough.
Quand on m'a parlé d'un restaurant de sandwich exceptionnel, je ne m'attendais pas à grand chose. Cependant, c'était une très bonne surprise & les sandwiches sont, selon moi, les meilleurs de la ville avec un goût exceptionnel !
Le personnel est vraiment au top, à l'écoute & serviable ! Je recommande à n'importe quel moment de la journée (ou de la soirée) !

Stopped by to warm up & grabbed a hot chocolate. It took quite a while to prepare, & when it finally arrived, it was barely warm & tasted terrible. The place itself was surprisingly cold, which made the whole experience even worse. Very disappointed - definitely would not recommend.
I've been in the others kahwa, & this one is now my favorite!! Fantastic place, the service is great, the space, the cleaning of the space & the environment itself is more than great!! Highly recommended!!. Congratulations for the great work!!!
Je recommande à 100 %, c'est devenu mon endroit préféré !
Mention spéciale pour les employés : super cools, accueillants & toujours souriants ! On sent qu'ils aiment ce qu'ils font, & ça rend l'expérience encore meilleure.
Their sandwiches are really good, & the fresh bread baked to order makes them even better. I've tried both the chicken panko & the lamb, & the chicken with their harissa is by far my favorite. That said, the lamb has been a bit dry lately, it used to be super tender when I first tried it.
The staff is really nice, & the atmosphere is great, though sometimes the music can get a bit loud.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place for a meal !
My panko chicken sandwich I had here is, I kid you not, the best sandwich I have ever had in my life. Cannot recommend this place enough. Delicious food, great vibes, overall absolutely incredible!!
Honnetement, le meilleur sandwich de MTL voir de ma vie… la sauce KAWHA dans le sandwich poulet panko, succulant!!!!! & les frites également. Je recommande fortement.
C'est probablement dans le top 3 des meilleurs sandwich que j'ai mangé! Le pain & les ingrédients sont frais & ils mettent beaucoup de garniture. Je recommande fortement!
Quelle belle découverte!
Staff souriant & agréable.
& ces sandwichs, une tuerie! Pain arabe (je pense) fait maison sous nos yeux, sauces vraiment savoureuses, coriandre, & le poulet panko 😯🤪 DÉLICIEUX!
On recommande 100% pour les amateurs de sandwichs avec une petite touche exotique. En plus, prix tout à fait raisonnable.
Freshly baked bread on the spot 🥖, tender juicy chicken 🍗, & flavorful kebab 🤤 🐑-Kahwa is simply unbeatable! The freshness is next-level, & every sandwich bursts with flavor. It's that perfect Mediterranean touch with a subtle European twist in the center of Montreal that keeps me coming back. My go-to spot for sandwicherie done right. Highly recommend!

Really delicious sandwiches with the best homemade bread! Definitely recommend trying the Thon Tunisien. The staff is super friendly & welcoming. Great place!
Their sandwiches never disappoint! Do yourself a favour & get the panko chicken!
Staff always friendly & there is a general good casual vibe to the place. Recommend to anyone passing by & in need to a bite to eat.
I had an incredible meal here! The chicken was absolutely fantastic - perfectly cooked, juicy, & full of flavor. I ordered the chicken sandwich & it was amazing - super fresh, with a great balance of textures & a sauce that tied everything together beautifully. Honestly, I highly recommend coming here over Ma Poule Mouillée across the street. If you're looking for a satisfying, top-quality meal, this is the spot!
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.
