Koujina Café is a Tunisian-inspired café offering typical specialties in the heart of Montreal. We provide a Mediterranean and sunny ambiance reminiscent of North Africa and Southern Europe, while emphasizing Tunisian and Maghrebi culture richness. Come and savour authentic flavours in a welcoming setting and discover a unique experience at Koujina Café.
Koujina Café is described as a warm, inviting spot that immerses guests in Tunisian culture with a cozy, colorful atmosphere and attentive, friendly staff. The menu blends traditional flavors with modern touches, with standout desserts like pistachio cheesecake and orange cake, a memorable mint tea, and a praised merguez sandwich; the mlawi can be oily and not as thick when tuna is used. Coffee and signature drinks are noted to be distinctive and well made, and the bakery offerings appeal to dessert lovers. The ambiance mixes liveliness with intimacy, though a few reviewers mention music could be loud at times and service can be counter pickup rather than table service. Overall, it is viewed as a charming neighborhood gem that consistently delivers good food, thoughtful hospitality, and a unique Tunisian-inspired experience.
This is a quaint little spot to sit & have a bite to eat or a coffee. It's small but welcoming. The service was great. The employee explained the different tea options, which were unique. We also had the chicken sandwiche, it had lots of flavor but it was not warm. This is the only small downside. However we also had the pistachio cheesecake & it was very good. It wasn't overly sweet but very creamy.

This is one of the best cafes I've ever visited in Montreal. The owner & staff are so kind & really creative an amazing atmosphere for connection. The coffee & treats are some of the best I've ever had.
My friends & I last minute decided to go to this cafe after the brunch spot we booked fell through for our birthday celebration. We showed up to this cafe 14 girls with a cake & they worked to accommodate us. It was the one of my best celebrations.
The food, coffee & team are the best in the city. This is a must try & must return.
Thank you guys for a truly fabulous day & making us feel welcomed ❤?
I love this little coffee! I enjoyed the Chorba (soup) the flavours were there, spicy enough to help with the cold! Excellent & kind service! I ll try the sweets next time with the mint tea!
Small cafe/ coffee shop. The decaf Americano coffee was pretty good. Wifi & limited seating for working. Was a pretty normal cafe to me, nothing too spectacular though in my opinion.
Great coffee. You can tell it's higher quality than what you typically get in other cafes. Service is legitimate hospitality, the kind you would travel far & beyond to experience. Again, the coffee has something special to it. I strongly recommend.

One of the best cafés in Montréal! The coffee & atmosphere are great, & the staff are always kind & welcoming. I especially love seeing Aziz on the weekends ⭐️ For me, the stand out menu items are the mlawi wrap & the pistachio cheesecake. The mlawi is extremely fairly priced for the amount of eggs, tuna & olives you get. & the wrap itself is perfectly doughy. The pistachio cheesecake is the best cheesecake I've ever had, if not the best CAKE I've ever had.
As a tunisian myself i was very happy to find this little gem on St-Zotique. What i appreciated about it the most after the delicious coffee, sandwiches & pastries was the cultural & social diversity of its clientele. The service is always in point & the staff is very friendly! Talk to them you'll find out...
