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.
I bought a drink (see photo) SOOOO GOOOD.
I bought one of their chicken sandwiches Tuscino I think its called. Also really really good. I bought one of their sponge cakes. All three cost around 23$ so its alittle costly, but really good. Definitely recommend!
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.

We love this cafe, really good coffee, breakfast sandwiches & great & friendly service :). Also good cold drinks (ube syrup, matcha etc). They often have specials (kamayan, wraps, burgers etc) & partner with locals (pop up yoga event, pastry features, floristry etc) so would recommend following them on IG!
Café Kuya (1200 Boul. de Rome Local M, Brossard, Quebec J4W 3G7) - this is a really unique & appealing spot! ✨
The first thing that grabs your attention is the interior: a big branded coffee name on the wall, & even a small motorcycle inside! The decorations are just right, not too much, but very interesting - you'll spot a helmet, Star Wars elements, & more. 🏍?
You can immediately tell this cafe has a lot of regulars; it's like a magnet for people. 🧲
The tables are set up efficiently. They're not super comfy, but totally fine for a quick bite or a cup of coffee.
The coffee here is good, & they do have some pastries, though not a huge selection. 🥐☕ The staff is kind, always smiling, & very responsive. 😊
There's just one thing that's a bit surprising right from the entrance: the front door. It's really hard to open, which is a little puzzling on your first visit. 🤔
Overall, I recommend Café Kuya for its unique atmosphere & hospitality! 👍
A great find with a nice vibe & excellent service. Latte & matcha latte are amazing & the breakfast sandwich with rice is authentic & delicious. Highly recommend!
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.
