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.
Très bon pain. Ingrédients frais. Organisation top. Jai pris un sandwichs au thon Tunisien & Sandwich italien... ils étaient trop bons. Je suis revenu aujourd'hui & j'ai pris un poulet panko & un merguez. Zéro faute ! Je dirais from the best sandwichs in Montréal !
Belle équipe aussi !
The tastiest bread in town! Every bite of their sandwiches is pure happiness (I tried both the panko chicken & falafel sandwiches)
However, traffic inside is a bit chaotic as there's no clear waiting line.
Pour l'instant, j'ai pu essayer 3 de leurs sandwichs: le poulet panko, la viande effilochée & le végétarien. Ils étaient tous excellent, mais j'ai tout de même une préférence pour le poulet. Je tien à dire que le sandwich végétarien est très solide donc bravo. Le personnel est gentil & travail fort compte tenu du fait que l'endroit est toujours remplis. Les prix sont bons & les quantités aussi. L'endroit en tant que tel est petit, mais ils ont une terrasse durant l'été alors rien à dire là-dessus non plus. Je recommande fortement, vous ne serez pas déçu!!

Mangez une super soupe aux lentilles locale pendant le petit moment d'attente pour les Délicieux sandwichs poulet Panko ou aux merguez maison! Excellent rapport qualité prix.
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.
You have to try this place. Le Poulet Panko was amazing. Found this place by chance, so glad I did. The bread was crispy, flavorful, the chicken juicy, the veggies & the spices were on point. It is a bit spicy so if you cant handle spice, maybe talk to them. How it was served to me was perfect.

Tout simplement incroyable 🤤 sandwich poulet Panko croustillant sans avoir l'arrière-goût désagréable de friture. Toutes les garnitures le rend juteux & savoureux à point. Le sandwich à la merguez a un parfait mélange d'épices & de saveur. Quelle belle découverte 😍
In terms of value for money, this is definitely one of the best sandwich spots in Montreal. Their menu offers something for everyone, although I think their classic panko chicken sandwich is their best option. The staff are always quick & efficient, despite the lines, which just goes to show how popular this place is. For fans of high-quality sandwiches.

The poulet panko is amazing, & for a great price too. Super busy so expect to wait in line for 10-15min, & sometimes all the seating is taken, but a great takeout option. Love seeing them make the pita right in front of you. The pita is the star of the meal honestly.
love the poulet panko & loved the végé sandwich when they had it. The new falafel option was really dry & it didn't feel like there was a lot of flavour in the sauce. Love this place for real but please either bring back the végé or improve the falafel
I think my husband & I will be dreaming of these sandwiches for a long time!! We got the panko chicken sandwich & the lamb sandwich both to share. They were incredible. The lamb was perfect, the chicken was so crispy & flavorful & the bread & spicy mayo on both was delicious. A must try lunch spot!
