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.
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
This place is like a mont royale heaven. The sandwich sauce is chefs kiss. Service is fast & extremely professional. All in all 10/10 mont royale street attraction

One of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Bread was fresh & delicious, the ingredients were fresh & plentiful. It was busy at lunch but the keep it moving. I wish they had this place in my city. Next time I am in Montreal I will definitely be back.
Smoking good value sandwiches in The Plateau. If there are often long line-ups, you know you have to ask: Is it worth it? YES IT IS!!! FYI, we went at 5:15 on a Tuesday in August, & there was no lineup. Not sure if that's always a good time, but we were thrilled!
The 2 sandwiches we got were two of the most flavour-packed sandwiches we've ever had.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

The food is amazing but the person who took the order today is by far the worst person fit for a customer facing role. She is destroying value for that business.

Excellente adresse.
Le sandwich est très bon( pain exceptionnel & garniture savoureuse & très généreuse)
& j'ai adoré la limonade faite maison.
Personnel agréable & lieu très animé..
Je recommande vivement
Le pain des sandwich est d'une qualité supérieur. Par contre, la viande est fade, les merguez trop cuite & le poulet manque d'assaisonnement. Il y a une effervescence liée aux réseaux sociaux qui n'est pas justifiée.
Des sandwichs de niveau olympique ! Première expérience aujourd'hui au Kahwa Café & j'ai dégusté avec joie leur sandwich à l'agneau du Québec. C'est tellement bon, c'est d'la folie ! Leur pain maison est le meilleur que j'ai mangé de ma vie (& oui!). Y'en a qui l'on l'affaire dans la restauration! En plus, le service est excellent. Merci & à bientôt !!
