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.
This place was perfect for a quick bite to eat! We sat inside & I had Le Poulet Panko. The worker recommended it to me & it was quite yummy! There were lots of people coming in & out of the place which speaks to its popularity. There was a line but we didn't have to wait too long. The bathroom has a weird layout as you can see people in the restaurant while using the toilet but other than that, great food!
So great service great atmosphere but the FOOD. Honestly, the meats are soooooooo dull. The meats taste like absolutely nothing we tried the tuna, chicken cutlet & lamb. & it was terrible. Definitely overhyped.

He boen on ce promenais sur mont royal & une petit fringal, la place a l air de rien. A l interieur la caverne d Alibaba pour un sanwitch extraordinaire une ambiance colore. Je peu difficilement dire, extraordinaire. J ai gouter le poulet panko & ma compagne la mergez . On s est acompagne d une frite.
Le pain & boulanger & cuit sur place le poulet croustillant, la saucisse maison. C est maintenant notre place
Dommage ça affiche son avis politique ouvertement sans réserve, c'est vraiment pas laïque comme attitude, surtout quand nous savons qu'à présent la majorité de ces dons vont directement au hamas (organisation terroriste) car détourné...
Pas un fast food mais un slow food... C'est très bon mais c'est un vrai bordel, tout est désorganisé, les serveurs sont jeunes, discute entre eux, rigole, se raconte des blagues & pendant se temps là fils s'allonge, ça manque de rigueur & de sérieux, c'est dommage, ils iraient plus vite il doublerait leurs chiffre d'affaires, je pense plus y aller, 3 expérience négative
Par contre on pourra pas leurs enlevé le fait que c'est très bon !
I'm really a sandwich person 😀 & I've tried many sandwiches in Montreal, but I can say Kahwa Cafe is definitely one of my top five. The flavor was excellent & the combination of ingredients worked really well together. I especially liked the cucumber in the sandwich, it added a fresh touch that made it stand out. The bread, chicken, & lamb were all delicious, & the ingredients tasted fresh.
What I liked was that everything felt well prepared & balanced. We had a very good experience here & really enjoyed the food.
I'm sure I'll come back again & try more from the menu. Definitely a place worth visiting if you enjoy good sandwich

I had the L'Italiane, & my friend ordered the Poulet Panko. I'd 100% recommend the Poulet Panko it was incredible. Honestly, everything was so good. The bread was super fresh, clearly made in house, & it really stood out.
It's not a huge place, so it's not ideal for big groups, but you can easily place your order & wait outside for takeout or grab a seat if there's space. Definitely worth it for the quality fresh bread & really flavorful chicken.
Excellent ! Super accueil, personnel très gentil & chill. Très peu cher, grosse quantité, on s'est régalés. On a voulu tester autre chose le lendemain & on a regretté de ne pas être revenu...
