Kahwa Café receives enthusiastic praise for its fresh, house-made bread and a wide range of satisfying sandwiches like the chicken panko, merguez, lamb, kebab libre, Italian and falafel, with many noting that the bread is baked on site and meats and fillings are fresh and flavorful. The sauces, especially Kahwa sauce, are commonly highlighted as a perfect match for the fillings, and prices are considered good value for the quality. The atmosphere is described as cozy and lively with fast, friendly service, though the space can feel a bit small and crowded and lines can be long when busy. Takeout and a summer terrace are convenient options, and guests consistently return to try more flavors. A few reviews mention occasional slower service or inconsistent dine in comfort, but the consensus is that Kahwa Café is among the best sandwich spots in Montreal with standout items like the panko chicken and kebab varieties and a focus on fresh, on site bread.
The sandwiches at this place are so delicious that I ate here twice during my first visit to Montreal!
The inside is somewhat small for dining in, but it's still a cozy atmosphere. Besides, sandwiches are easy enough to grab & go, so the small dining area isn't much of a setback at all.
Terrific place! Will definitely eat here again on my next visit!
All signs pointed to good! There was a line of people waiting to order, eat at a table or taking a take out bag. The staff were so personable. I loved my moccacino that I got to sip while waiting for my falafel sandwich & lentil soup. & it was priced at a consumer friendly price point in addition to delicious flavorful food.

Not a sandwich person. So if I say it's good. It's really good 😊. I Was having a good day but this sandwich just made my day better. Bread was warm & freshly made. I had the kebab sandwich. Portion is huge & taste is just perfect. My second visit in two days. Please stop by!!!
J'ai essayé à plusieurs reprises le Kahwa café pour leur délicieux sandwichs & j'y retournerai encore! Ils sont tellement délicieux & cela explique les fils d'attente que je voyais souvent en passant devant. Le pain frais & les ingrédients bien apprêtés font toute la différence. Autant le sandwich poulet frit que à l'agneau sont tellement goûteux. La sauce à l'intérieur apporte aussi beaucoup de goût. Je recommande. Toutefois, ce n'est pas la place la plus conviviale pour y manger, mais parfaite pour le take out!
Hi first off there were lot of students, gave a nice vibe. It's a nice cozy cafe. The chicken sandwich was very good & quiet filling.
I couldn't finish it as it was huge. The trio was worth it. The fries tasted differently, but it could be maybe because of the type of flour they use to coat their fries.
Overall must visit spot. Next time I need to try their coffee

Got the chicken parm. All ingredients tasty really fresh & real. The price is not too bad either. The bread is super good. Can't complain, would come back :) Merci!
