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.
One of the best sandwich spots I've ever tried! The bread is baked fresh for each order. It's light & airy like a pita but crusty like sourdough - it makes this place stand out!
Le Poulet & Le Thun sandwiches are amazing! Fresh fried chicken cutlet dusted with sumac is worth a try. We've also had the Le Kebab which was also very good!
Don't forget to get the Kahwa sauce, a spicy harissa & maybe sumac mayo based sauce added to each dish.
This location is the best! Nice space, fast & friendly service!
Excellente sandwicherie à Montréal. Définitivement, un incontournable!! De plus, nous avons été très bien accueilli par Louis qui était engagé à rendre notre visite mémorable. Merci pour son accueil chaleureux, sa serviabilité & sa bonne humeur. Nous reviendrons c'est certains.
The best sandwich in Montreal but also possibly in the Province (not hyperbole). Whether you live in the city or are visiting, a life lived without trying one of these sandwiches is one that hasn't been lived at all.
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) !
Sandwichs supers bons & abordables. Pain maison de qualité. & mention pour l'accueil avec le sourire, chaleureux... ce qui est pas toujours le cas pour des sandwicheries. Bémol il fait un peu froid à l'intérieur.

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 !
This is the best Kahwa of them all. They're all superb, but this one the sandwiches are always packed & so fresh. The fries are also much better at this location (I think it's just better equipped in general). Wish they had Salem Cola too tho :
Amazing sandwiches. No matter at what time i show up whether it's early or closer to closing time, it's always fresh!! Even when packed with people, you never wait an unreasonable amount of time, it's also my favorite location! It's spacious & there are always seats available. Workers are always nice no matter how rushed it is! Appreciate them all :)

Top 3 sandwiches in Montreal for me. & number 1 Mediterranean/Tunisian sandwich. Bread is made on the spot & it's more of a pizza bread not a regular bread. A bit crunchy. The sauce they use is delicious makes all the difference & you can add extra harissa obviously. The fries were really good too. The price very reasonable, no wonder this is working. Good job guys 🙌 Keep it up 👍
I wanted to try this place for a long time & now I wish I would have gone there earlier! Not only is the service friendly & efficient but their sandwiches are fantastic! I took the panko chicken one & it was fried to perfection, fresh & well seasoned. Their house sauce was very flavorful. The price (around 10-13$) is fair since the sandwich is quite big & consistent.
I would have given Kahwa a 4/5 if it wasn't for the real MVP : their bread. Clearly homemade, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside : it really changes everything!
Next time I will try their lamb sandwich for sure.
Bonus : their open support to the Palestinian cause deserves a thumbs up!
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!
