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 👌👌

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.
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 😕

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.
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 !
Best matcha in town!! Portion is GREAT. Cute little coffee shop with simple design 💜 staffs are super friendly & fast service. I highly recommend!! 10/10

Great little find. Food ranges between 10-15$. Portion is fair. Was able to share half with drinks & be full.
Service was fast on our end, while I saw others having to wait a little longer - but still, decent wait time.
Location is simple, yet has its own charm.
Finding a decent cafe or snack place can be tricky these days, but this place was a rewarding discovery. I will be coming back & I recommend you give them a shot!
Tried the egg coffee, it was interesting! Definitely something you should try at least once. I would definitely go back to try other coffees, it's a really nice cafe.
While visiting Montreal I went to this place to get lunch 3 times. The onigiri sandwiches are so good! I tried both the salmon & shrimp. Their Vietnamese Egg coffee I also tried, & I will be back for another one. It was new & interesting, incredibly smooth & creamy & just the right amount of sweetness. I spoke to one of the owners & he was delightful & very accommodating. On another day I spoke with a regular staff member & he was also so kind & sweet. I recommend this place 100%
This is the best macha latte I've ever had in Montreal! The salt coffee also tastes really good, & you sill find so many special flavours here! Strongly recommended!!
