The coffee is wonderful, an excellent example of great third wave coffee. Whenever I'm in Brossard, I make a point to stop in. Excellent lattes ☕?
Le café est délicieux, un excellent exemple de café de troisième vague. Chaque fois que je passe à Brossard, je m'arrête pour en déguster un. Les lattes sont excellents ☕?.

I've been there multiple times. Their matcha is amazing, I've been on the hunt for a spot since moving to Brossard & it's safe to say I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Everything about this cafe was truly disappointing. We went in & the barista took so long to take our order because she was talking with her friends & ignoring the fact thag there was a line up of customers that were waiting for her to take our orders & plus instead of finishing up the drink that she made she was taking a picture of it & took her time instead of just serving it. Plus, the drink was really bad, first sip of ube matcha just tasted like a watered down milk & I couldn't even taste the matcha nor the ube.
i'm not sure if we just went during a bad time since most of our friends who's been here before has hyped it up for us, but the ube matcha we had was quite disappointing. No taste of the ube whatsoever & that matcha taste is barely there aswell. the pic is taken after we mixed the matcha.
Fantastic cafe & service! Please bring back the pistachio milk! Really made them standout since it's difficult to find. The smash burger & vegetarian burgers are delicious.
Un joyau caché de la rive-sud qui offre des produits originaux tel que le café éthiopien & un sandwich déjeuner d'inspiration sud asiatique. Fraîchement fait lors de la commande, il est digne d'une étoile michelin.

We visited after seeing a TikTok that called this the spot. We stopped in after exploring Quebec City, as we decided to make a brief stopover in Montreal before heading back to Toronto.
We were genuinely impressed with both the quality of the drinks & the food. The menu was in French, so the staff kindly took the time to explain everything to us, which we really appreciated.
I also heard that the owner is a car enthusiast, though I didn't get a chance to ask-he may have been busy or not on site at the time. After checking their Instagram, it was great to see that they host car meets, & I even recognized a few cars from ImportFest in Toronto.
The experience was so good that we ended up ordering extra to take home for the week. The smash burgers were absolutely on point.
Incroyable aujourd'hui le 2 janvier,je suis aller m'informer vers l'heure du dîner de l'heure de la fermeture aujourd'hui,car la veille de Noël j'y suis allé pour acheter 2 Smash burger vers 17hr30 surprise,il ont fermé supposément pour un problème d'informatique ou autre vers 16hr à ce qu'il m'on dit. Se soir 02/01/2026 encore vers 17hr30 j'y suis allé & commandé 2 smash burger & frite pour notre souper ,& que leur smash ,,,, sont les meilleurs sur la Rive-Sud , malheureusement (& déception totale) la serveuse m'as informer qu'il n'avait plus de boeuf ,inimaginable cette situation

Really lovely cafe! I've been going to Kuya since they opened up & loved their coffee. They seemed to change the recipe for the ube sauce so now it's sweeter & more liquid. Still good but not as good as before. I wish their coffee can be a bit consistent. We've noticed that the coffee taste quite different depending on the barista
Le café Kuya est un lieu complètement aligné avec les valeurs de notre communauté & en est devenu essentiel. On sent immédiatement que le personnel est heureux d'y travailler - l'accueil est toujours chaleureux & authentique.
La nourriture est tout simplement délectable, généreuse & réconfortante, & le café est, sans hésitation, le meilleur du coin. Chaque fois que je passe, l'endroit est rempli de gens du voisinage, preuve qu'il fait naturellement partie de notre routine quotidienne, sans aucun effort.
Je recommande fortement le détour - une véritable perle locale.
Small little vibing cafe. I liked the ambience. The cafe latte was smooth but medium strong. Not as strong as I like. But would come again. Their burgers ( tried their vege burger) were amazing & also the hashbrown. Would definitely visit again. The girl who served me was also very polite.
Great coffee! Great food! But very frustrating to see people monopolizing tables with their computers & see no place to seat for real customers! Is it a study room or a coffee place!
