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.
Cute little cafe with unique cafes & food. I love their matcha latte with pandan foam or ube syrup. You can personalize all your drinks. The service is quick & the food is delicious as well.

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
Great little cafe hidden in the corner of the strip mall. The iced ube latte is especially good. It's small so sometimes there will be no place to sit as the tables are all occupied by students studying.
Première visite dans ce petit joyau de Café. Le personnel amical & l' atmosphere sympathique nous surprend. Participant au Burger Week, Burger aux champignons est délicieux à souhait & le Latte glacé Ube est Sublime.
Damm, the flavour profile of the smash burger was just awesome & the fries that accompanied it were deliciously unique. Chai Latte was spot on. Definitely coming back to try the other menu items.
J'adore aller chez Kuya! Une amie me l'a recommandé pour leur latte au ube & leurs tarte à la noix de coco. Je n'ai pas pris le temps de tester la tarte malheureusement, j'ai adoré leur Matcha latte au ube & leur sandwich déjeuner est à tomber! Une merveilleuse balance entre moelleux, sucré, salé & spicy. Allez y & vous ne serez pas déçus!

This charming local café, open for three years now, is perfect for students & boasts an Instagram-worthy ambiance. Run by two Filipino friends, the café offers a delightful selection of beverages, including chai latte, matcha latte, & iced ube latte, each priced at $5 & incredibly tasty. We also tried their Lechon (pork belly with grilled pineapple) (9$) & chicken sandwiches ($10). While the sandwiches were delicious, I wished they were larger, especially the chicken sandwich, as the bread overpowered the other ingredients. On the bright side, free parking is available.

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!
Excellent! Le café latté était tout simplement sublime & le sandwich déjeuner vraiment bon. L'ambiance est bonne avec de la bonne musique pas trop forte.
