Overall, Café Kuya is described as a warm, cozy neighborhood spot with friendly staff, a lively yet comfortable vibe, and a menu that blends coffee culture with Filipino inspired sandwiches and pastries. Reviewers praise the matcha and ube options, pandan flavors, and standout smash burgers along with Lechon and Tocino sandwiches, crispy fries, and sweet treats; some note occasional slow service or a busy pace, and a few trips report inconsistent coffee or a cooler interior, but the overall experience remains memorable for the welcoming atmosphere, creative drinks, and a sense of local charm. The cafe is repeatedly celebrated as a community hub that hosts pop ups and supports local vendors, and many say the staff go above and beyond to make guests feel at home, contributing to a warm, home-away-from-home vibe.
Café Kuya is a hidden gem just off the island that makes me wish I lived in Brossard so I could go more often. Their lunch menu, lattes & service are top
I had such a nice experience at Café Kuya. I ordered the green tea & it was really fresh & soothing - you can tell they use good quality ingredients. The café has a cozy, welcoming vibe, & the staff are very kind & attentive. It's a good spot to catch up with friends! 🍵
this cafe has been on my radar for over a year until our visit a few days ago - definitely exceeded expectations with the fantastic food, welcoming atmosphere, & all the flavors of home that i've really missed.
Heating disfunctial. A lot of youngs who are there for the'fake' vibes. If you qualify yourself as a Cafe, you shall know how to make coffee at least. Coffee taste more like warm water tea than coffee. So obvious they are using the wrong type of beans for Americano.

Great vibes, super friendly staff, & the food is a BANGER.
Tocino sandwich was great, tender juicy chicken, 10/10
Lechon Sandwich was a banger, juicy slice of pineapple with the crispy lechon, super well balanced.
Their potato buns are soo soft, they're the perfect pairing with the meat choices available, & the ratio of meat/topping/sauce is absolutely flawless.
We had the Pandan Matcha & the Ube Matcha, i'd like to try an unflavoured matcha for purer comparisons sake, but this is definitely a solid matcha. The ube syrup sort of cancels out the flavour of the matcha in a weird way? I think ube would work better for the coffee than the matcha. Pandan Matcha was a fire combination though, heavily reccomend that. Not their fault though!
Now, the real star, the super crispy fries with the battered texture, with sinigang powder on it?? You guys are geniuses. I cant believe i had never thought of that.
Overall a lovely cafe! I live quite far but will definitely make the trip just for this!
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 ☕?.
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.
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.

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.
