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.
As soon as you enter this lovely little sandwich shop, you're greeted very kindly & warmly with a great smile from Victor & Louis who took the time to explain the menu & the concept properly as it was my first time visiting. Their most popular item is their chicken sandwich & rightfully so 🤤. Their bread is made fresh in house & everything looks very appetizing. Their chicken is marinated for 24 hours & was full of flavor. I had the chance to meet Paul, the owner of that establishment & had a delightful conversation regarding their multiple locations . Overall great service, Great sandwich, Great spot! Must try. Definitely recommend
Always nice to come here the sandwiches are really nice & fresh . The service is amazing I'm happy they are opening at Saint-cath bcz the other place is abit fa
Delicious 🤤
Last summer when we visited, it was a beautiful morning, & these sandwiches made this morning even better & one more reason to love this city.
These sandwiches come to my mind time to time, every thing is so fresh, the bread is hand made on site. The line was long, but service was fast!!
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!!!

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!
We tried the poulet Panko, kebab libre, & falafel - all were delicious, but the kebab libre was the standout for me. The bread was fresh & perfectly crunchy, adding a great texture to every bite. We arrived just before the lunch rush, & the line quickly stretched to the end. Seating is limited, so I recommend getting there early. Expect a bit of a wait, but it's worth it for the quality & freshness.
one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I got the pulled lamb & beef one, added some harissa. bread was fresh, ingredients were fresh & the staff was lovely. cured my hangover that day for sure lol
The kebab sandwich with pulled lamb & beef was amazing. The meat tasted tender & fresh. The flavouring was mind-blowing. The bread was also good.
10/10 food. Would strongly recommend if you like lamb meat.
Second time I eat at this spot. The chicken sandwich & their local cola drink are spectacular. Freshly made bread, Super high quality ingredients, authentic home-made style meals that scream culture, great service, at reasonable prices, in a great location. Can't say many negative things about this spot. Probably the wait but I understand why it usually has long queues. & hoped the seating area would be bigger to hose more ppl.
One of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Bread was fresh & delicious, the ingredients were fresh & plentiful. It was busy at lunch but the keep it moving. I wish they had this place in my city. Next time I am in Montreal I will definitely be back.
i honestly wouldve never come in here if i didnt have to meet my friends family for lunch before a play, mainly on behalf of the fact that the clientelle spilling out of here always evoke too much of a'montréal completement cirque' vibe.
HOWEVER this is honest to god one of the top sandwiches in montreal. highly recommend. fresh. tasty. THEY MAKE THEIR OWN BREAD. ill gladly brave the tam-tameuse & parisian vie boheme crowd again in the future.
