Ohayo Café appears as a cute, cozy Japanese inspired spot with a calm, bright atmosphere, plants and friendly service. The menu blends cafe drinks with authentic Japanese dishes and is often praised for flavor and execution, from ramen, mazemen and soba to karaage, katsu don, ebi burger, dorayaki and tamago sando. Drinks like hojicha latte, sesame latte, matcha latte and yuzu lemonade receive strong praise, with notes of bold sesame and refreshing citrus. Several items stand out, especially the ebi burger, miso banana bread, and the dorayaki, while a few reviewers mention some dishes can be rich or not for every palate and hours could be clearer. The ambience and staff are repeatedly highlighted as welcoming, making it a go to for a casual visit or weekend treat, though a couple of comments mention price and occasional noise or service inconsistencies. Overall, Ohayo Café is seen as a distinctive Japanese cafe offering quality coffee and inventive comfort foods in a friendly setting, leaving many eager to return and try more.
Love this new little resto-café! The food was so delicious, rich & filling. Highly recommend the shrimp burger & the ramen! Their coffee was also good. Just a heads up, if you're planning to go on the weekend, either go before noon or later in the afternoon due to limited seating capacity. Really enjoyed our first visit overall & will definitely be back!

Ohayo Cafe, a quaint new place on Mont-Royal, at the corner of rue de Buillon. Blending japanese ideas with a Montreal feel, they offer a variety of favourites. I had the tamago sando 「タマゴサンド」, which to my surprise was served like the fancy French toast you'd find at l'Avenue not too far away. Served on a pair of crisp golden toast, the egg salad is light & flavourful. Butter hits your tongue, as your palate is flooded with subtle flavours of egg, Dijon, & a marinated Sancho pepper- which comes in its pod, in-lieu of the usual slightly numbing powder you get on an unagi bowl. I ordered the sando with a flat white. The coffee, of course, made with the best-in-class La Marzocco espresso machine, gave notes of the soft cascara of the bean. I'm happy to see that Japan's spirit, in their meticulous quality & attention to coffee, has materialized here as well. In all, the duo came to 17.53$, with a 15% tip the bill for 1 came at 20.15$. Which I find reasonably priced for the quality presented. I have yet to try other items on the menu, but rest assured that whilst enjoying my own, I was witness to a room of people enjoying the rest of the menu. Very clearly enjoying their share. 成功を祈っているよ。
We were out on a croissant hunting expedition, & needing a fill of a bigger fill, we were driving along Mt. Royal, & came across this little lovely pleasant place. Service is excellent -- except it's not table service -- it's order at the counter, pay & you get a post with a number for delivery of your meal. Food is really interesting, a bit of a Western take on Japanese food. We had a tamago sando, & I was expecting a tamago, but instead it was an equally interesting delicious deconstructed egg salad. That, & a great chicken karaage. Would I go back -- 100%.

Came for a quick lunch & tried the tamago (egg salad) sando w/ mortadella. It was crazy good. Already looking forward to coming back to try everything else.
Excellente nourriture. Je conseille le burger au poulet avec frites. Café de qualité. Par contre, on a attendu notre commande 30mins & le premier caissier ne parlait pas français.
