LaKafe MTL comes through in reviews as a cozy, stylish spot that works for studying or chatting with friends, with a clean, calm space and friendly staff even when busy. The drinks are a major draw, especially the coconut matcha cloud and Vietnamese coffee variants like egg coffee and salted coffee, with many praising creamy textures and bold flavors; there are also notes of creative twists such as guava matcha, Jasmine Matcha, Strawberry Matcha and banana latte, and a claim that the coconut cloud is a standout favorite. Food highlights include fresh onigirazu and croffles, with salmon onigirazu and unagi onigirazu described as good though sometimes heavy on mayo or slightly burnt. Some reviewers mention small seating capacity and occasional slower service, but most say the experience is worth it and that the prices align with the quality. Overall, LaKafe MTL is viewed as a delightful, unique cafe that delivers satisfying drinks and bites and invites customers to return to try more items.
I went there with my sister for some coffee. We entered the store & the lady didn't acknowledge us at all. Not a good morning, not a smile just looked at us & turned her back keep doing her things. We were the only customers in there. So we stood there for a few minutes & as we were being ignored we just left without a word & went to the coffee shop across the street. Would not recommend 😕
Great place to get matcha, I adore the coconut matcha 💚 they also have pretty original selection of drinks like guava matcha & egg coffee. Pair it up with an onigirazu & it's a great combo! Fast & good service
Visiting Montreal & this is our first breakfast in the city. I will be thinking about this meal every day. We got the salmon onigirazu, the salmon croffle, matcha latte, salt coffee & egg coffee. Everything was absolutely delicious.

I was craving for the Vietnamese egg coffee then I found this little & chic coffee shop around the corner of my Airbnb's neighbour. Love supporting local business & their coffee tastes like home ❤?
Lakafe, I am really impressed with your Vietnamese egg coffee as well as Vietnamese salt coffee. I kept trying & trying & most of your peers are not doing them as well as you in Montreal. Only you & another one shop are doing the genuine / real Vietnamese egg coffee & Vietnamese salt coffee. Keep up with the great work. Next time I will try your coconut matcha cloud as well as your golden osmanthus (many serious coffee lovers I know are in love with those two). Bravo!
I can't speak on the banana-coffee because while I didn't like it, my friend did so that's subjective, but the atmosphere was very vanilla & the service was very bare minimum.
I rank it a'try it still, but maybe takeout?' out of 5.
The coffee shop is calm & special mention to the girl's service (that was really amazing). Food really good. Took Vietnamese salted coffee & Japanese onigirazu salmon.
