Kahwa Café Montreal

Artsy Tunisia

""Kahwa Café" Montreal is one of my favorite places for coffee or tea. There's often a new exhibition and it's a great place to work with the free wi-fi..."

This place changes its look regularly and we like it! However, the basis remains: the front counter in barn wood, the hardwood furniture, the wooden apple crates serving as shelves on the wall. It's warm, needless to say!

Anis, the charming Tunisian owner constantly adds new products to eat. Plenty of sandwiches made every day, soup of the day, couscous and a variety of pastries and sweet desserts such as baklava. The place smells like good food! All at very friendly prices!

Regularly a new exhibition covers the walls of the café, the place is often packed with students who spend hours working on their computer enjoying the Wi-Fi, drinking coffees and teas. They also started doing some music jam sessions. There is plenty of choice and carefully selected to offer only the best quality.

Anis loves people and we feel it, we are well welcomed in his place. Go ahead, you'll see!

*You can't miss it, it's the bright yellow storefront!

Coffee source

"Campanelli" in Montreal has nothing inherently special about it - it's just the coffee place I visit on my way to work! I do like the crowd here, though.
