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 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
Ce café est une porte sur Sidi Bou Saïd depuis Montréal. J'ai beaucoup aimé l'ambiance douce, la petite boutique avec de beaux objets d'artisanat (les chaussures 💓) & culinaires, & un accueil chaleureux. J'ai pris le café glacé Koujina au sirop de dattes sur place & le sandwich tunisien à emporter. Les deux étaient très bons & préparés maison avec des produits frais. Je reviendrais tester le café arabe & la citronnade qui a l'air délicieuse. Un petit coin de Méditerranée pour une pause très appréciée.

Je suis extrêmement satisfait du service que j'ai reçu. La qualité était magnifique & le personnel était incroyablement professionnel & attentionné Bravo bravo bravo Khmiss alikom
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.
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.
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...
Petit coin hyper sympa pour se retrouver entre amis ou pour travailler. Service chaleureux & équipe au petit soin. Je vous conseille les mille-feuilles avec le café c'est très bon.
En plus d'offrir des produits frais & tout bonnement délicieux, on a droit à une ambiance chaleureuse, sans compter la bonne humeur toujours présente des personnes qui y travaillent !!!
Ne perdez pas de temps, lisez les avis sur le chemin en y allant vous ne serez pas déçu & vous arriverez plus vite qu'en Tunisie 😉 Un sans faute sur toute la ligne & une place numéro 1 dans notre carnet d'adresses qui est indétrônable !!!
