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.
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.
Ma place de sandwich préféré, le pain est parfait, moi qui suis une amatrice de pain chaud maison c'est le meilleur de Montréal selon moi. La qualité & le goût de la viande est imbattable vous avez une explosion de saveur avec les différentes sauces. J'y retourne chaque 2 semaines tellement c'est bon pour vous dire & leur équipe est vraiment sympa !!

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!
La bouffe était délicieuse mais
Groupe de 7 personnes parmis nous 3 ont pris le sandwich merguez, 3 empoisonnement alimentaire, pour ma part ça fait 6 jours & je suis toujours pas remis.

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.
I mean honestly the pictures speak for itself!!!Even if you wanted to make this sandwich to ur worst enemies it wont end up looking this worse & taste this disgusting , this used to be the best chicken sandwich in Montreal , but just like any fast food that get famous, they stop caring about what they serving to their customers, forgetting that those same customers that they made them viral in good way they can also make them viral in a terrible way
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!!!

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
