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.
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 !
J'ai mangé du sandwich avec poulet, c'était vraiment délicieux. Malheureusement, dans le restaurant il n'y a pas une option pour carde de crédit en payant, & je pense que l'atmosphère n'est pas approprié pour manger sur place.
Ce sont parmi les meilleurs sandwichs sur l'Avenue! Le pain est moelleux à souhait puisqu'il est toujours fraîchement fait avant votre arrivée. Gros coup de coeur pour la sandwich merguez. C'est tout simplement délectable! Longue vie à Kahwa Café!
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.
Ambiance chaleureuse, service rapide & personnel accueillant. Le café est excellent, tout comme les viennoiseries maison. Un bel endroit pour travailler ou se détendre. Une vraie pépite au coeur de Montréal, je recommande vivement !

Ambiance bobo arabe très chill au Kahwa Café. Le kebab libéré était tout simplement succulent - tendre, bien épicé. & le sandwich au poulet ? Une vraie claque de derssa, ce goût méditerranéen qui réchauffe l'âme. Un vrai régal, à refaire.
Top 3 sandwich places in montreal. They make the bread fresh on the spot. It's always busy especially in the summer. The chicken & lamb are the best sandwiches, if it's your first time go with the chicken. Also they only accept debit or cash.
Très bonne expérience dans cet établissement avec un rapport qualité prix excellent. Service rapide & personnel très sympathique. Je conseille vivement le Kahwa Café pour les touristes & locaux !
If you love sandwiches &/or north African food, this place is definitely for you. Amazing sandwiches with fresh bread straight out of the oven (literally baked in front of you) & delicious ingredients, tried the chicken & the merguez, & I have to say the merguez one was one of the best sandwiches I had in a longue time! Also the staff is very helpful & the place very cozy.
