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.
Koujina Café, c'est bien plus qu'un café : c'est un véritable voyage en Tunisie. On y retrouve la chaleur, l'accueil & l'authenticité de cette culture, & cela permet à tous les visiteurs de découvrir un avant-goût de la Tunisie. La qualité & l'ambiance ne cessent de s'améliorer, & chaque visite est un véritable plaisir.
Un immense merci à l'équipe pour son accueil exceptionnel hier : on s'y sent vraiment comme à la maison, avec une attention sincère qui fait toute la différence. Une expérience humaine & chaleureuse, tout simplement incroyable.
Ce café est vivant, unique & très fidèle à son thème. L'ambiance est immersive, & le thé à la menthe ainsi que les desserts sont excellents. Le personnel montre un vrai souci du détail. La pâtissière m'a même demandé mon avis sur un nouveau gâteau, ce qui prouve leur passion. Le lieu met aussi la culture en avant & crée facilement la conversation, même lors d'un premier rendez-vous. Je recommande vraiment cet endroit charmant.

This café is lively, unique, & really committed to its theme. The atmosphere feels immersive, & the mint tea & desserts are great. The staff clearly care about their craft. The baker even asked me what I thought of a new cake they're testing, which shows real attention to detail & passion. The place also celebrates culture in a way that sparks conversation, even on a first date. I definitely recommend this fun little spot.
5 belles étoiles ! J'y suis allée avec mon copain un vendredi soir vers 20h. On y a pris un latte & un mille feuilles, qui étaient tous les 2 : DÉLICIEUX !
Le service a été très bien aussi :) & la décoration est top !!
Every single one of their signature drinks (& their seasonals) piqued my interest, I wanted to try them all! The barista was really helpful & reeled me in from my spiraling indecision by recommending Mariem's latte, & it did not disappoint. The orange blossom flavor gave a real kick (in a good way). It was a bit too milky, so I didn't get to taste the espresso much. But it was made so well that it makes me want to come back & try their other drinks. They also offer sandwiches & pastries (all of which look really appetizing). I'll definitely be back.
This place is truly lovely & makes you feel like you're on vacation! I tried the mlawi sandwich & it was so unique & delicious, enjoyed every bite! & the lattes are amazingly unique as well. & the orange cake... everything 10/10

Magnifique café 😍 La déco, le service, la nourriture, vraiment top ! J'ai pris un latté sur place & un sandwich tunisien à emporté. C'était tellement goûteux 😋, bien piquant 🔥(attention aux palais sensibles 👀)
Missing Tunisia & want to feel a bit at home? Look no further than Koujina Café, an authentic Tunisian food spot with incredible options & quality service. Must-try include the famous Tunisian Mlaoui with tuna & harissa, combined with a homemade lemonade. If you're feeling peckish, try their pistachio cheesecake (only available on weekends) with a heartwarming almond latte!
I think this café could be a beautiful addition to the neigborhood if it would adjust some points. First off the staff seems to spread out their belongings all over so you never know if there is actually a free table. They could pay more attention to the overall cleanliness of the place, there were food scraps on the counter where you pay for your order. Not enough clean utensils & this was a quiet Monday afternoon. Staff & clients alike smoke outside but there doesn't seem to be a bin to store the cigarette butts so they simply throw it on the side walk which is a huge turn off for the business & a negative contribution to overall atmosphere in the neigborhood. I really wanted to like this place but very disappointed with what I've seen so far.

Love this cute Tunisian gem! The vibe is so authentic, & the playlist as well! Their mlawi & almond latte were so good & the sweets as well. If you're missing Tunisia, this is what you're looking for:)
J'adore essayer des nouveaux café & celui-ci à passé tous les critères, les sandwich y sont très bons, de même pour le latte & le thé ( UN MUST). La déco, le choix des musiques & le service étaient parfaits. J'y retournerais sans hésite
