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.

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%

Lakafe - Vietnamese Coffee, Cloudy Matcha & Cozy Vibes

Let's talk caffeine & comfort-because Lakafe delivers both in one of the cutest, most photogenic little cafés on Boulevard Saint-Laurent.

I stopped by after hearing whispers about their Vietnamese-style drinks, & honestly? This place makes you want to cancel your afternoon plans just to sip slowly & daydream.

Here's what I tried:

1. Vietnamese Coffee - The barista told me this packs the punch of four shots of espresso (yes, four!), & they weren't kidding. It's strong, sweet, & smooth-the kind of drink that wakes you up & gives you a warm, fuzzy hug. The bold coffee flavor is beautifully mellowed by that classic condensed milk sweetness. If you like your caffeine kick with a little sweetness, this one's for you.

2. Strawberry Matcha ($7.50) - Aesthetically? A 10/10. Taste-wise? A little too milky for me. I wanted more strawberry oomph to balance the creaminess. That said, it's a super approachable option if you're new to matcha. Sweet, soft, & almost dessert-like with that gorgeous green-to-pink gradient.

3. Coconut Matcha Cloud ($7.50) - My clear favorite. It literally tastes like a coconut matcha cookie, in the best way. Light, foamy, & just the right amount of coconut flavor without overpowering the matcha. The'cloud' on top is soft & dreamy-this one's refreshing & cozy. I'd come back just for this.

The space itself? Cozy, calm, & thoughtfully minimal. Think lush plants, warm wood accents , & marble detailing that make the whole place feel both polished & inviting. It has that quiet magic where time feels like it moves a little slower. Whether you're solo-working, journaling, or catching up with a friend, it's the kind of café that welcomes you to stay awhile.

Bonus: they also serve onigirazu (Japanese-style rice sandwiches) & croffles (croissant-waffle hybrids), which I've got my eye on for next time. Savory or sweet, they've got you covered.

Foxy Tip: Matcha fans-run, don't walk, to the Coconut Cloud. It's a vibe.

I spotlight my favorite local gems on TikTok @foxy.appetite & IG @foxyappetite , & Lakafe just made the list. Whether you're in a coffee queen era or your matcha girly core is activated-this is your sign to check them out.
