Overall, LaKafe MTL is praised for its cozy, stylish space and standout Vietnamese coffee, with favorites like Vietnamese egg coffee and salted coffee, and creative drinks such as coconut matcha cloud, guava matcha, and strawberry matcha; the menu also shines with fresh onigirazu and croffles that pair well with matcha, while the staff are repeatedly described as friendly and helpful and the cafe is a great spot for studying thanks to big tables and free wifi; some notes include that the space is a bit small, prices are on the higher side, and a few orders can be slow or a dish like unagi onigirazu being a touch heavy or burnt, but overall the drinks and bites are delicious, the experience is reliable, and many reviewers say they would return.
Here literally all the time to hang out/study with friends!! The matcha is incredible (recommend especially the Jasmine Matcha & Banana Matcha) & also the salt coffee 👌👌
Great spots for drinks & foods. I've tried many from onigirazu, croffle, matcha & coffeee, they have been delicious. Today I had matcha latte eggfoam & the eggfoam is great for croffle dipping though!!!! (In vietnam we dip banh mi in eggcream & eat them together ☺?)
The food was amazing so was their coffee, its not overpriced & the playlist is bomb. The service was good the workers are so nice!! Would 1000% recommend, for students too as it has charging ports & extensions, good for studying.
The atmosphere is amazing & the workers are amazing & very nice. The food was delicious, affordable (15$) & it was served quickly. The coffee was also very good & the music is not too loud. You can also get free water if you order food❤?
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!
