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 ☺?)
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.

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!
The onigiri was delicious made fresh to order & loaded with fresh toppings. The matcha drink was tasty & not too sweet. The space could be tidier/cleaner however.
Very delicious salmon onigirirazu!! Good matcha drinks. Very nice service. I recommend. It's a bit small, the space to sit, but not too much crowded. We were able to find a place to sit.
Tried the Jasmine Matcha & the Strawberry Matcha.
It was the best strawberry matcha I've had! The jasmine could've used a bit more matcha, but it was still great.
Good service, the staff is very nice!
The Guava Matcha & the Banana Matcha are both good!!!
Un très bon endroit. Ce lieux propose une grande carte de café, matcha, croffle ou encore onigiri.
Nous avons trouvé nos boissons très bonnes, mais rien de phénoménales.
Les prix sont relativement élevés comparés aux autres cafés, & nous avons attendu très longtemps pour avoir notre commande.
À part ces points négatifs, ça reste un café très bon & agréable.
Je recommande si vous avez le temps !
