Les avis sur LaKafe MTL évoquent un endroit cosy et photogénique qui propose une combinaison originale de onigiris frais, croffles et boissons créatives autour du matcha et du café vietnamien. Les plats, notamment les onigiris au saumon et à l'anguille, sont appréciés pour leur fraîcheur et leurs portions généreuses, avec parfois un petit bémol sur le gras de mayo ou sur des préparations légèrement brûlées. Les boissons remportent généralement les meilleurs éloges, du matcha riche et varié au coconut matcha cloud, en passant par le guava et le strawberry matcha, et les cafés vietnamiens comme l'egg coffee et le salted coffee reçoivent des distinctions pour leur onctuosité et leur authenticité. Le service est souvent décrit comme sympathique et rapide, bien que quelques avis signalent une attente un peu longue et une atmosphère calme ou intime sans être très spacieuse. L'ensemble donne l'impression d'un lieu à essayer pour ceux qui aiment les saveurs asiatiques, les expériences de boisson originales et des petites gourmandises, avec le souhait de revenir pour tester d'autres variétés.
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
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!
Love love this new spot!! Super friendly staffs & their food & drinks are impeccable 😍 we tried the matcha guava jasmine drink & the egg foam matcha & both were delectable!! The food was also soo delicious! Will definitely be returning :)

Only had the drinks. Sweet but So refreshing & delicious. The cloud coconut matcha. YUM!
Egg coffeee. Also YUM! Maybe can ask for half or no sugar (idk)
I will go back! Thank you!
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.
