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.
The coffee, the food, service & atmosphere is awesome in this cafe. I ordered a cappucino, my partner had a matcha & we shared a double smash burger. Great experience there & staff is also friendly !
We ordered an iced matcha & iced latte with ube & it was the best drinks we've had in a fat minute. We debated coming back when we were done. 10/10 coffee shop

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 & bright, though quirky & clearly decorated by a Star Wars nerd. Service is top tier. The cashier was helpful & welcoming, & the barista brings your food to your table. About the food. Gaddam. Walks the line between standard caffé choices & "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.
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 & I am too busy to cook & only order out. Showed up today, & was told kitchen was closed. Was extremely disappointed, & walked out. Very friendly employee came to get me outside to tell me they would accommodate me, & 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 coffee is really great, the staff are very nice. Personally i'm not a fan of the burger or the breakfast sandwich (too greasy, breakfast sandwich pork had a sweet & sour taste i wasn't a fan of) but my friend liked them. Still a very nice spot in southshore, would go back

Update: I came here on Monday morning, not too busy & ordered a cappuccino with oat milk, a filter coffee with almond milk & a breakfast sandwich. It took 18 minutes for the breakfast sandwich because I heard the cook say "well I only got this now". My filter coffee was cold & my cappuccino had regular milk. I cant 5 star this place anymore.
Coffee is good. For food you get more flavors & quality than usual coffee joints since it's Filipino inspired. They have special servings on different days which makes it even more interesting to go back often (good marketing). Service was great! Happy & smiling crew! Atmosphere is like usual coffee spot... if you know what I mean.....
Their coffees & breakfast sandwiches have always been good but today I tried both of Dre's buko & calamsi pie - & that sealed it for me. I would go out of my way for these pies. Pies are so good wow. I meant to post a picture but I ate them too fast 10/10 pies.
We wanted a coffee while in brossard & went to Yuka cafe & the staff was super sweet & I took a iced chai & it was delicious & my bf got a hojicha with ube syrup ans it was also very goof & the price is fair! Will definitely go back again!
This place is a cozy gem! Always a pleasure to head out here for a coffee & some food! The breakfast burgers just hit the spot!! Paired with a mighty & flavorful espresso- I always leave satisfied! The atmosphere is really nice too, kind of makes you forget you are in the suburbs!
