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.
I was craving for the Vietnamese egg coffee then I found this little & chic coffee shop around the corner of my Airbnb's neighbour. Love supporting local business & their coffee tastes like home ❤?

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 coffee shop is calm & special mention to the girl's service (that was really amazing). Food really good. Took Vietnamese salted coffee & Japanese onigirazu salmon.
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
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!

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%
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.
