Overall, Café Kuya is a warm, neighborhood café on the south shore known for great third-wave coffee, matcha, and signature drinks with ube syrup, alongside Filipino-inspired sandwiches and smash burgers that many reviewers rate highly. The staff are repeatedly praised for friendliness and attentiveness, and the vibe is cozy with Star Wars memorabilia and a strong community feel that invites lingering or working on site, though a few criticisms pop up about seating during peak times, occasional inconsistency in coffee flavor, changes to recipes such as the ube sauce, and a messy bathroom on some visits. Still, the place is seen as a local gem with regulars, pop ups, and collaborations that reflect a clear sense of place, making it a go-to stop for drinks and comfort food like the tocino or lechon sandwiches, buko pie, and other pastries.
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!
We googled to find the nearest highly- rated café near Hotel Brossard, & this was it. It was such a pleasant surprise to check out their menu & find Filipino foods & flavours. We only came for caffeine, so all we had were their iced coffees: ube & mocha flavours. It was well worth it though. The flavour was very rich & satisfying. Excellent service. Excellent iced coffees. Eager to return next time we're here.
This café is a little gem. Good coffee, delicious sandwiches, friendly staff, & overall excellent vibes. It really makes Brossard feel like a neighbourhood. I wish there were more spots like this in the area.

Delicious !!!! No more words needed 👏🏼 the staff is beyond friendly & nice , the service is fast & prices are good. One of the best coffees in Brossard , always places to park (which is always a plus 😉) definitely worth the try 🙌🏼
This is the best spot to grab a coffee in Brossard!! Such a lovely ambiance & the customer service is fantastic, from the owner to the baristas, everyone here is so nice & welcoming! My cappuccino was excellent & the barista's latte art skills were top-notch. Stop here if you're in the area, you won't regret it!
I have been here many times & it's always a great experience. Consistently great coffee, delicious Filipino-inspired food, nice ambiance & super friendly staff! Highly recommend their pies, they are extremely buttery, flakey & delicious!!
