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.
Small surprise to discover such a nice filipino coffee in that area. We went for breakfast & we were surprise that the food & cake, even if it is quite simple, are nicely prepared & done. Price is friendly, same as the ratio quality/quantity. The dessert is very good & not too sweet. We will definitely come back. A good suggestion : the ube matcha with coconut milk !!!

We got donuts & a latte at it was absolutely amazing These little bundles of deliciousness were completely packed with incredible lychee & coconut cream. Very light, not overly filling, about 85% cream - perfect ratio. We're very sad we could only get 4 😅😅 The latté was also wonderful, velvety & smooth, just the right amount of sweetness, easily one of the best lattes we've ever had. It's worth going out of your way to Brossard for either of these treats & we will be back.
This spot is off the hook! The coffee is absolutely delicious as are the different variety of snacks. The atmosphere is super chill. Also, the owners are great - very nice & friendly folks. Love the Star Wars memorabilia around the cafe!

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!
A randomly selected cafe turned out to become one of my greatest cafe/breakfast place in whole great Montreal area. Great food, vibe & fantastic young & welcoming staff
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.
