Across the reviews, Kahwa Café is praised for fresh, crackly bread and a menu of hearty, flavorful sandwiches like chicken panko, merguez, kebab, and falafel, often described as one of the best in Montreal. The bread and house-made ingredients are repeatedly highlighted as key to the quality, elevating every sandwich. The atmosphere is consistently warm, welcoming, and lively, with staff cited as friendly, attentive, and generous with small gestures that brighten the experience. Value is a recurring plus, with generous portions and reasonable prices, and customers appreciate both dine-in and takeaway options, sometimes enjoying the park across the street. A few critiques note that some locations feel smaller with limited seating and that portions can vary by branch, with some diners wishing for more traditional Tunisian touches or more consistent meat quantity. Overall, Kahwa Café comes across as a reliable, beloved spot for flavorful sandwiches and a welcoming vibe, enticing returns and repeat visits.
On a essayé suite aux recommandations de notre fils & ses amis. On a pris le poulet panko & le merguez maison.
On aimait bien le sanwhich. Pain croquant avec une quantité de viande & sauce qui se mélangeaient. So yummy.
Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the food. I was expecting more traditional Tunisian sandwiches, but the menu felt quite Americanized & greasy, which I didn't enjoy. That said, the staff were friendly & welcoming.

Wow! The panko chicken was the best sandwich I have had in some time. The chicken was excellent but the bread (which is made in house) may have been the star of the show. I had a very good latte as well. The employees were fun & welcoming & generally seemed happy to be there. They made fun of my wife for asking for a knife & fork to eat her sandwich...AS THEY SHOULD! Big portions, the sandwich was as big as a football. Very, very reasonable prices. Lunch for two at McDonalds would have been more expensive. It's a small place with very limited seating. We were lucky to get a table but if we had shown up 5 minutes later we would have had to take our food to go. We are looking forward to coming back in the spring when we will be able to eat in the park across the street.
Un des sandwichs au poulet frit les plus délicieux que j'ai mangé! Tout est en harmonie & la constance dans la qualité & le goût est toujours au rendez-vous.
L'un des meilleurs sandwich que mon mari & moi avons manger! C'est juste incroyablement bon, vraiment à faire!
Le personnel & l'ambiance sont très sympa!
C'est franchement décevant de voir à quel point la quantité de viande dans les sandwichs du Kahwa Mont-Royal Est est réduite. On parle facilement de deux à trois fois moins que dans les autres succursales, notamment celle sur Rachel ou celle plus haut sur Mont-Royal.
Lors de ma dernière visite, j'ai même entendu le patron demander à un employé de faire attention à ne pas mettre trop de viande. Le contraste est frappant avec les autres cafés de la chaîne, où les portions sont généreuses & suffisantes pour réellement rassasier. Ici, ce n'est malheureusement pas le cas.
Bref, si vous avez faim, mieux vaut aller dans une autre succursale.
Excellent poulet panko. Le service est souriant & l'atmosphère de la place vraiment chill. Le pain est croustillant à l'extérieur & moelleux à l'intérieur. Le poulet était très croustillant. Petit bémol pour les légumes. Notamment les tomates qui n'étaient pas assez mûres & sortaient du frigo mais on est en hiver donc il ne faut pas s'attendre à grand chose. J'y retournerai assurément

L'une des meilleures sandwicheries de Montréal. Mon favori reste le poulet panko.
Mention honorable au jeune Rally, qui nous a très bien servis & nous a fait sentir comme si nous étions chez nous.
