Overall, Kahwa Cafe is praised for fresh house made bread and flavorful sandwiches such as chicken panko, kebab, merguez, tuna and falafel, with sauces that are generally well balanced and fillings that are often generous. The bread is a standout, frequently described as delicious and add extra texture to the sandwiches, and portions are repeatedly noted as large and good value. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff friendly, with several reviewers calling the service quick and attentive, though a few mention occasional slow or disorganized moments and occasional order mix ups. The coffee is sometimes described as average, but the food experience remains strong and many say the sandwiches are among the best in Montreal, with the Verdun location seen as a welcome addition and late hours a plus. While a few critiques point to too much sauce or requests not fully followed, the general sentiment is positive, highlighting fresh ingredients, great flavor combinations, and a reliable quick bite that keeps customers coming back.
Sandwichs de grande qualité, vraiment savoureux. On sent que les ingrédients sont frais & bien préparés. La vendeuse était incroyable : gentille, souriante & pleine d'énergie, ça fait vraiment plaisir d'être accueilli comme ça. La cuisine est aussi très propre, ce qui met en confiance. Une très belle expérience !

Le sandwich poulet Panko, & celui au thon sont très bons, je les prends régulièrement. Le pain fait minute est vraiment bon & apporte un plus à ces sandwichs.
La sauce est bien dosée.
Par contre, avoir des frites maisons serait un vrai plus parce qu'elles ne sont vraiment pas bonnes & chères pour ce que c'est.
This was my first time at kahwa cafe. The atmosphere was cozy, warm, & charming. The staff were friendly & had a great attitude. The sandwich was delicious,tasty, a little spicy, which was totally fine for me. The portion size could've been a bit bigger. Their coffee was just average. When we went, the cafe was completely empty, & it would've been much better if they had brought the food & coffee to the table instead of us having to go pick them up. But overall, it was a good spot for a light & spicy meal.

Endroit très sympathique, j'ai goûté le sandwich au poulet Kahwa leur spécialité c'était vraiment très bon & copieux. Le service a été agréable. Je recommande ce café pour manger sur le pouce.
Love going here, the prices are great, & the portions are huge. I think it sometimes depends on who is building your sandwich though, last time I went the falafel sandwich had so much tahini it was inedible at the end, like an entire mouthful of sauce, sorry, but who wants that?
The portion is very generous, they didn't shy out on the meat, as some sandwiches places do. The prices are very worth it. Fun little sandwich places to try out.
Went in for lunch & the service was very quick. I had the merguez sandwich absolutely delicious. The menu is small but well thought out & can easily satisfy all tastes. Would definitely go back.
