Café Kuya: Reviews & Ratings
We googled to find the nearest highly- rated cafe near Hotel Brossard, and this was it. It was such a pleasant surprise to check out their menu and find Filipino foods and flavours. We only came for caffeine, so all we had were their iced coffees: ube and mocha flavours. It was well worth it though. The flavour was very rich and satisfying. Excellent service. Excellent iced coffees. Eager to return next time we're here.
My absolute favourite cafe. This place is a community gem of the south shore and feels like the embodiment of a warm hug. The space is airy and cozy with lots of natural light and high ceilings: a perfect place to sit down and work or have a good coffee date. But what really sets this cafe apart is how incredible everyone who works here is. The staff are so thoughtful and kind. They always check in with their customers to see how they are and always go above and beyond. The drinks and food here are equally delicious (try their ube syrup in a latte and breakfast sandwich if you want to get a taste of their specialties). They have a great assortment of Philippino inspired sandwiches, pies, and baked goods. Additionally, they are always innovating and working with the local community bringing in pop ups and different Philippino foods to try, supporting other local businesses and uplifting others (keep an eye on their IG for pop ups and other community events). I’m so grateful to live near here!!!
Fantastic coffee shop. If you like great coffee, you’ll love it. Their espresso is definitely the best I’ve had from any coffee place in the south shore. The ambiance is great. Welcoming and bright, though quirky and clearly decorated by a Star Wars nerd. Service is top tier. The cashier was helpful and welcoming, and the barista brings your food to your table. About the food. Gaddam. Walks the line between standard caffe choices and “exotic” perfectly. Try their longaniza sandwich if you have the chance. All that being said, service takes the time it takes. It’s slow, so don’t come here for your daily cup of coffee on your way to work.
Super tasty, super friendly! Stopped for a quick lunch and the mocha was delicious as was the lechon sandwich. Staff were supremely friendly and the overall atmosphere was great. Will definitely stop back in when in the area!
Love the coffee and food here! Excellent service as well! We tried the ube latte and sandwich tocino! Didn't disappoint!
Cute little cafe with unique cafes and food. I love their matcha latte with pandan foam or ube syrup. You can personalize all your drinks. The service is quick and the food is delicious as well.
Discovered this cafe as my daughter picked up a coffee. I immediately noticed delicious looking Burgers on clients tables. I inquired about kitchen opening hours, as my head office is accross the street and I am too busy to cook and only order out. Showed up today, and was told kitchen was closed. Was extremely disappointed, and walked out. Very friendly employee came to get me outside to tell me they would accommodate me, and apologized about the closing hours confusion. So professional on their part. Burger was amazing! They have a new regular client for life. I strongly recommend.
The fried chicken sandwich (we got the current special—mango habanero) is awesome, but dare I say the seasoned fries are even better?! The staff are SO sweet and welcoming too. Ask them for menu recommendations bc they’re passionate and fun to talk to! 10/10 experience and I’m already looking forward to the next visit
