Reviews describe Kahwa Café as a busy, cozy spot where fresh bread is baked on site and sandwiches like the chicken panko, lamb, merguez, kebab libre, falafel, and chicken parm are flavorful and well valued. Many praise the homemade bread, the tasty sauces, and the affordable prices, with takeout and an outdoor terrace helping when seating is tight. The vibe is lively and the service is described as friendly and efficient, though the dining area can feel small or loud. Long lines are common, but most testers feel the wait is worth the quality. A few notes mention occasional issues with cleanliness or consistency across locations, yet the bread and fillings receive constant compliments. Overall Kahwa Café is considered one of the top sandwich spots in Montreal, a reliable spot for a quick, satisfying lunch and a place many plan to return to to try more flavors.
I was curious about this place & finally tried it. It did not disappoint. It is soooo good, the bread is freshly made, the meat is great quality & overall a great flavourful sandwich. Can't wait to go back. Pls don't make the prices higher & keep the good quality!🙏🏼

Merguez sandwich was ok , wayyyyyy too much harissa mayo for my taste . I kept biting into these globules of mayo throughout the sandwich i couldn't keep eating it . Was like a mayo sandwich. Service is ok but very uncomfortable seating . Crappy dirty tables & chairs , very cramped. Drinks in fridge aren't cold enough. Check your fridge compressor. Cutting board on the left near oven is completely black & very dirty. I would urge you guys to get a new one, or clean it very well, especially in an open kitchen set up. Bathroom was completely clogged . To me the only highlight is they make their own bread
what a discovery this place is. Everything is perfect, the bread, it is hot & crispy on the outside, warm & soft on the inside. We had the panko chicken & tuna. The sauce is just incredible & one super important thing, the sandwich is all at temperature. I recommend 100%.

I got the Poulet Panko sandwich & lemme say... O M G. The sauce? Perfection. The chicken? To die for. The fresh bread? Breathtaking. I am struggling to find an imperfection with this sandwich.. so much so that I want to get a second one right now (even though I am very satisfied). 100/100, Bone Out.
You would fall in love with the food. The fresh bread with beef is perfect. The prices are so reasonable. There is always a line of people infront of him.
Honestly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I've had the panko chicken & lamb (the lamb was slightly better). The bread they bake is crispy & not as heavy as a sub which is a nicer balance with the fillings.
Friendly servers, they make their sandwiches breads free from the oven. The only downside is the variety of ingredients in the sandwich are not much for veggies.
