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.
I was walking by & decided to stop in for a quick bite. I tried the falafel sandwich & it was super delicious! The falafel was slightly on the dry side, but the sauce & bread balanced it out perfectly. Great combo & a decent portion size too.
They played a funky nice music too:)
For sure some of the best sandwiches in mtl! Inventive, yummy & flavourful.
Sauce is so original & can't get enough.
Homemade bread, filling portions, not expensive, no wonder there's always people.
They have a coffee bar & few seats inside. Terrasse in summer offers more space.
Bon sandwich, par contre les gars, il faudrait chauffer un peu la place. Je peux comprendre que les temps sont durs, mais manger avec son manteau & avoir froid, c'est abusé.
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 !

Last time I came here I saw a lineup so I gave up, this time around I finally get to try this famous sandwich, & I was not disappointed! I think that the lineup is justified since the price is very reasonable for the quality of the food, it's simple but very tasty, I took the kebab sandwich to go & it was well wrapped, I love the sauce they use (the Kahwa sauce). The interior of the cafe is so-so, but quite a lot of people seem to enjoy their time here. Recommended.
Excellente expérience ! Les sandwichs sont vraiment trop bons, frais & savoureux. Je me suis régalée & je reviendrai sans hésiter. Merci pour l'accueil !
