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.
Sandwich délicieux, pain & sauce incroyable, poulet croustillant & juicy ! Service exceptionnel, la nouvelle barista avec une casquette rouge est aussi chaleureuse que les sandwichs, très aimable, serviable, souriante & sympathique ! Un véritable moment de plaisirs passé au Kahwa Café de part la nourriture & le personnel exceptionnel ! Légendaire !
Note: THEY ONLY TAKE CASH OR DEBIT. Really good Middle Eastern (Tunisian?) Sandwich shop. They make their bread in house. The ingredients are fresh. The flavor is strong, but natural. & the ambiance is good. Quirky & trendy with outdoor seating on the street. The price is OK too at $18 for sandwich, fries, & drink. The fries tastes how McDonald's fries back in the day used to taste - so good! I ordered the Thon Tunisien which came with tuna, greens, their Kahwa sauce, & tomatoes. Very very filling! & they are fast. Highly recommend.

Les sandwichs sont délicieux, il sont gros & bien remplie. La sauce kawa est juste parfaite. Le resto est toujours plein il y a beaucoup de gens mais malgré cela le service est très rapide. Je recommande!!
This was the best culinary experience of my life in my 17 years of life I've never moaned so much for a meal.The poulet panko is genuinely one of a kind.the chicken is juicy & crispy ,the herbs & vegetables are fresh & THE SAUCE is to DIE for its worth the travel.
THE SANDWICHES WERE AMAZING !! I really recommend the panko sandwich with its juicy chicken & delicious homemade sauce ❤️ Recommend so much !! The only thing I would change is adding a conditioner inside the cafe since I came on a day where it was so hot & I had to endure the heat but overall was worth it for those sandwiches.
I got the poulet panko sandwich & it was delicious. It came with a house made sauce, cucumbers, tomatoes & onions. The veggies made it really fresh & the chicken was fantastic, juicy & flavourful. Their house made bread was also spectacular you could taste how fresh it was. The crispy outside & soft inside made it a heavenly sandwich. If you're near Mont royal it's definitely worth a visit!
Never had a better sandwich in my life. Nothing less than spectacular. Fries are pretty good as well, but nothing special. The kahwa sauce is excellent & adds so much to the sandwiches. Nothing beats the kebab, but the panko chicken, tuna, & merguez are amazing as well. Definitely worth a visit.

Sandwiches are very affordable! We got the chicken panko & it was made fresh to order. The bread had a nice crunchy texture & the chicken was well flavoured. It had a little hit of spice from the kahwa sauce. The cafe is a bit dark & the atmosphere is not the greatest so we took the sandwiches to go. Would come again for the sandwiches!
Must visit in the area! Bread was rolled in front of us & used hot fresh out of the oven. Panko chicken & lamb kebab sandwiches were perfect. Great sauces & toppings too! Can't wait to go back.
Excellent place!! Their poulet panko sandwich is truly a delight & my partner & friend got the vegetarian options & both of them loved it. Both times I went the service was excellent! PS: Their Kawha sauce is ravishing !
This my second time to eat sandwich at this place & I love it!!! They do know how to make sauce & especially bread. Their sandwich is perfect combination of these two. I must add how friendly they are. I'll be visiting to eat again. Guy from NJ 😉

Super bon sandwich, une bonne portion satisfaisante. Le point fort pour moi était définitivement le pain fait maison, croustillant mais moelleux, le contenant parfait pour absorber la sauce. Le sandwich à la merguez était excellent, un peu épicé mais surtout rempli de saveurs & juteux, mis en valeur par les concombres croquants & les oignons frais. La serveuse/caissière était hyper charmante & attentive, c'est sur que j'y retournerai pour essayer leurs autres sandwichs :):)
Easily the best sandwiches in Montreal, thought I’m honestly stuck on the merguez one so I can’t really speak on the others. The homemade bread, the house sauce, the fries, it’s all just so damn good!! I’m now halfway around the world dreaming of a merguez sandwich from Kahwa! 🥲
They make their own bread (Italian-style ciabatta). Plus the ingredients are very tasty & the sauces delicious. My favourite sandwich place in Montreal by far.
This place is easily one of the top sandwiches you can find on the Montreal island. The bread is always made fresh & there’s just so much flavour packed into the meats & sauces.
I’ll get a craving for Kahwa almost weekly & often come here to enjoy their sandwiches. Especially during the summer, you can enjoy it on the walkable street on Mont Royal without the loud noises of cars disrupting your meal.
