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.
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 !
This is my favorite cafe ever! The food is delicious & the staff is so nice. It's so inexpensive too, like it can easily be 2 meals for under 15$. It's very pretty too & the tables are big enough to study which is pretty rare. I've been here at least 5 times & i will come back for sure
