Overall, Ohayo Café is described as a cute, calm Japanese inspired spot with friendly staff, bright lighting, and quick service, offering a range of dishes from ebi burger and tamago sando to ramen and karaage, along with drinks like hojicha latte and yuzu lemonade, and while the atmosphere and quality are repeatedly praised, some dishes receive mixed reactions, such as the chicken burger whose toppings fell flat and the katsu sando that some found overly bread heavy or poorly balanced; several reviews highlight the authenticity of flavors, fresh ingredients, and inventive drinks, making it a reliable choice for a taste of Japan in Montreal, though a few mention small spaces, occasional noise, and pricing as points to consider.
Really impressed by Ohayo Café. As someone from Japan, I'm picky about dashi in noodle soups, & their soba broth was excellent. The flavors were balanced & authentic. The dorayaki was fresh & soft, & the coffee was also great.
Great Japanese café with quality food. Definitely worth a visit.

I love the cute little Japanese cafe in the plateau. I ordered the Japanese curry on a cold autumn afternoon & it was very warm & comforting. Their black sesame latte was also great.
This Japanese café was beyond my expectations! We had hojicha, café latte, & tamago sando - they were all very good. The service was great too. I can't wait to come back & try the ramen & other items on the menu.
Beautifully simple. This is Japanese cooking at it's finest. No frills, just simple dishes executed masterfully. Brings us back every time that we want a taste of Japan
omg ebi burger was sooo good, best shrimp burger i ever had. curry & shrimp noodle were good too & i loved the yuzu lemonade, but yeah the ebi burger with chilli sauce was the real star. had it this morning & already craving another. def coming back
Très bon restaurant. J'ai adoré ce que j'ai pris & j'ai hâte d'y retourner pour goûter la tartines aux oeufs & au saumon (j'ai oublié le nom exacte mais ça avait l'air délicieux). Leur smoothie fraise est également très bon. Une bonne adresse, bon rapport qualité prix.
