One thing this place really has going for it is its laid-back atmosphere right downtown. The comfy couches, low ceiling and loungey music give Kafein a pretty relaxed feel.
On top of that, the staff is friendly, they make a gin-prosecco-lemon cocktail that I've been enjoying all summer, and their little terasse is surprisingly quiet for a downtown street-side patio.
The menu is more lunchtime-oriented, but has some original and very tasty sandiwches. If you're looking to avoid pretentious downtown buslte Kafein is a good bet.Listed in: Where to caffinate

Kafein, why do you hate vegans so much? There's like nothing on the menu I can eat since you changed it. And before, there was like, one item. What the heck happened to the vegie paté sandwich? Sandwiches on chewy white bread? White mayonaise pesto and cilantro and sautéd mushrooms? That's what I make at my house when I'm lazy... Puh-leaze... Accompanied with chips? Again: puh-leaze... How about a thick vegetable stew once in awhile (curry mushroom-kale or potatoe-bean or lentil-carrot) or some vegan cookies... I gave my vegan baker friend your business card and she got excited and went by and spoke to you then called and you never called her back.
And I wish you'd turn it around, Kafein, cause truth be told, you're not a bad place. Your downstairs is comfortable and you've got a well-stoked bar and I like your bathrooms though the urinals are set way too high, and I'm like what, 5'11''? You've got good djs and you don't come down hard on the nice homeless fella who hangs around outside though so many other establishments would - and that's kind of ya.
But come on... vegan it up for the rest of us, will ya? -

My friends and I popped in her for a few drinks, not knowing what to expect. Great vibe: coffee, couches, drinks, dj, sheesha. We didn't smoke, but like the others there (young crowd--Concordians?) who did, we had a great time. Loved the decor, which included bird-cage lamps with paper shadow cut-outs of birds. The music--kind of an avante-garde electronique thing--was right up my alley. Bartenders were super-friendly and even poured us a 'thank you' drink on the house as we were about to leave.
I'd kill for a place like this in Boston, but then the line would be out the door and around the corner, and the staff wouldn't be as friendly. Guess I'll just keep visiting MTL.
Unexpectedly, one of my favorite random finds in a city that has many to offer. -

Decent vib with live djs. Can't say the sheesha is anything spectacular though. Limited flavours and only moderately clean hookahs.

This is a cool place, and the ice tea here is really good. We got some chicken sandwiches with salad while waiting for the next Fantasia screening. The salad came with a tasty sundried tomato dressing. Normally, I hate dressing, but this was really good. Thanks for partnering with Fantasia to give fans and fest pass holders a break on meals. However, for the girl at the counter who can't do math, give her a calculator so we get the right percentage off. Otherwise, yum!

One of the best shisha spot in Montreal. In a very relaxed ambiance. Monday jazz night and of corse Sunday night groove with Dj D. For a mixe of hip-hop and disco and oldies hit. Just amazin'
