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.
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!

Les sandwichs y sont délicieux. Le poulet est croustillant & le goût est tellement agréable.
Pour manger sur le pouce, l'endroit est parfait, & à emporter, le parc la fontaine est à deux pas ce qui est super !
Adresse top ! 🍽?
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!

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.
Endroit très sympathique, le sandwich au poulet était succulent & original, les employés sympa. Petit détail qui serait à faire c'est la salle de bain, un petit coup de beauté serait nécessaire ainsi pour accrocher son manteau, sinon à part de ça j'ai aimé l'endroit je reviendrai 👍
