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.
This place is sooo tasty!!! The mango matcha is very yummy & tastes like mangoes 🥭. The staff are super friendly, & if I lived here I would come all the time!!!
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.
I recommend the brown sugar latte & the croffle!

One of closet version of vietnamese's egg coffee you can get in Montreal. Creamy sweet + strong flavour vietnamese coffee is the love you need to wake you up in the morning.
It will also wake up ur stomach & it shall demand some onigiri of unagi to complete ur good morning
C'est la deuxième fois & j'aime autant que la première! Service courtois & efficace, plats & boissons délicieux! J'ai testé le onigirazu unagi (anguille grillée) & celui au saumon. La portion est généreuse, goûteuse & tout est frais. & pour les boissons j'ai testé le café à la noix de coco & le matcha à la fraise & encore là tout était super bon! (Les contenants sont les miens) Une de mes adresses préférées dans le quartier 💚
Perfect matcha! & salt coffee. I'm a regular & there's few matcha shop that matches the level of matcha drinks here. I asked the owner & turned out they sourced their powder from Japan! The Vietnamese coffee here is also authentic since the owner is Vietnamese. Atmosphere is very clean & chic, a cool place to just chill & chit chat with your friends.
LaKafe is a hidden gem for Vietnamese coffee lovers! Their creative twists on traditional Vietnamese brews are a must-try. I especially loved the matcha latte, very authentic taste. The space is spacious & beautifully designed. Plus, the staff are friendly & make you feel right at home. Definitely coming back for more!
