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.
A great find with a nice vibe & excellent service. Latte & matcha latte are amazing & the breakfast sandwich with rice is authentic & delicious. Highly recommend!
Essayer le burger du jour qui était une variation d'un smash burger. Un des meilleurs que j'ai mangé récemment. Les frites était également superbe avec leurs assaisonnement. Le reste du menu avait l'air tout aussi bon. Une belle découverte à Brossard qui vos le détour. & vous pouvez prendre votre désert avec des biscuits sur place ou profiter de Calem tout juste à côté.
Le matcha latté glacé avec sirop de Ube était vraiment bon & il était très beau, esthétique. Le smash burger du moment était, sans conteste, le meilleur burger que j'ai mangé de ma vie. L'assaisonnement était parfait! Les oignons confits & la sauce étaient délicieux ❤? coup de coeur! On reviendra, c'est certain!
We ordered a matcha latte with extra ube syrup & an hojicha latte, both were too drowned out by the milk :/
Service was good, but cafe is small for the amount of people there was, we almost didn't get a seat.
The fried chicken sandwich (we got the current special-mango habanero) is awesome, but dare I say the seasoned fries are even better?! The staff are SO sweet & welcoming too. Ask them for menu recommendations bc they're passionate & fun to talk to! 10/10 experience & I'm already looking forward to the next visit 🫶
My absolute favourite cafe. This place is a community gem of the south shore & feels like the embodiment of a warm hug. The space is airy & cozy with lots of natural light & high ceilings: a perfect place to sit down & work or have a good coffee date. But what really sets this cafe apart is how incredible everyone who works here is. The staff are so thoughtful & kind. They always check in with their customers to see how they are & always go above & beyond.
The drinks & food here are equally delicious (try their ube syrup in a latte & breakfast sandwich if you want to get a taste of their specialties). They have a great assortment of Philippino inspired sandwiches, pies, & baked goods.
Additionally, they are always innovating & working with the local community bringing in pop ups & different Philippino foods to try, supporting other local businesses & uplifting others (keep an eye on their IG for pop ups & other community events).
We were there last Saturday & we tried the Smash burger. It was outstanding! Excellent service & atmosphere! We will definitely be returning very soon!
Cet endroit est vraiment Hot !! Le sandwich lechon est succulent le café excellent les pâtisseries sont fraiche ! Mais le meilleur c'est l'accueil super chaleureux ! J'y retournerai

These sandos slap. 10/10
Really wanted a burger but no regrets getting the crunchy hash brown longanissa sandwich. Sweet - crunchy - savory - soft - all things right in a breakfast sando
Great coffee shop that's charming on the inside. Tired the breakfast sandwich & it was very good. Though I got it to go, it still took about 20 minutes to make. Ube latte was interesting & tasty. I would go back & try their other drinks.
Very cute café with delicious lattes, a succulent breakfast sandwich & yummy pastries. Only downside is that is soooo cold & the chairs are uncomfortable if you're sitting to work for a few hours.
