Collectively, reviews praise Kahwa Café for fresh, house-made bread and flavorful sandwiches such as the chicken panko, merguez, lamb, and kebab, with good value and fast, friendly service in a lively, cozy setting. The bread is repeatedly called the standout, freshly baked on site, and the fillings are described as hearty and well seasoned. Crowds and long lines are a common theme, and the dining area can feel small and noisy, though takeout and a summer terrace help manage the rush. Overall, the place is seen as a reliable option for tasty, affordable sandwiches with a warm vibe.
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!
Two of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The Panko Chicken & the Lamb sandwich are amazing. They make & bake the bread in house, in the moment. The fries are super crispy, service is fast, & prices are super reasonable.
The poulet panko sandwich is the best chicken sandwich in Montreal. It is amazing & definitely one to come back again for. The l'italien sandwich was okay but a little too much arugula for my liking. The cafe smells a bit & it's small & the tables arent very clean but overall the sandwich quality is high & takeout works well to eat the sandwich elsewhere
I had the panko chicken sandwich. The bread was amazing 10/10. The filling was a bit lack luster because of how good the bread was. I'll definitely come back though

The panko chicken sandwich always slaps! This has quickly become one of my go-to spots & the place I take friends visiting from out of town. The bread is always made fresh to order (this is why I keep coming back). The playlist in the cafe is very good & the guy making your sandwich is often singing/rapping along which feels joyful. This place is a vibe, the food tastes good & the price is reasonable. I like that they have an alternative to Coke, try their salaam cola. I hope it always stays the same :)
On avait hésité à faire un tour pour goûter par peur que ce soit juste un autre resto buzz sur les réseaux, verdict: vraiment pas le cas !! Ça vaut le détour!! On a pris le poulet panko pour un premier essai c'était tout frais tout bon & appétissant, service rapide (vers midi). Bonne continuation !
Tried Kahwa Café after a friend recommended it, & it definitely worth the hype.
The bread is made fresh right in front of you, super fresh & flavorful. I went for the Panko chicken sandwich, & it was spot on: crispy coating, really well done. The fries were delicious & i very liked the sauce.
Chill vibe, solid prices, & the place was packed, always a good sign. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu.
