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.
Wow! I can see why this place is so busy. Lots of love in everything they make....drinks or food. The baristas are going non stop & never cut corners. The chicken sandwich was worth the wait. I can't wait to go back!
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.
Came here for the fried chicken after having it on our list for a long time, but unfortunately they only sell it on Fridays & Saturdays! They had other interesting options so we opted for their smash burgers & a special chicken sandwich & WOWWWWW! Best burger I've had in a such a long time, did not want it to finish. The chicken sandwich was so delicious & full of flavour, my toddler devoured it! Honestly would come here every week if I lived close by. Will definitely be visiting again! Not to mention also, service was just impeccable & so personable. MUST TRY!!
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 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.

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.
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.
Really great cafe. Their Ube latte is fantastic!
The owner is extremely friendly. Burger & lechon sandwich was really tasty. Thanks for giving us a great time!
Very cute little cafe, service is friendly but mildly on the slower side. This place is quite popular so if you get there in the afternoon, many things (food-wise) on the menu is no longer available, so keep that in mind when planning to visit here!
I tried the breakfast sandwich & the pulled pork sandwich. It is quite good, but the price is meh (a bit high for what you actually get). The sandwiches are on the smaller side.
My friend raves about the ube latte here. She says it's the best. She regularly comes here. I'm not an ube fan, so I can only take her word for it.
Worth a try. This place really puts a lot of attention on building a community with their clients.
