Café Kuya est souvent perçu comme un joyau caché de la rive sud, attirant par son café de qualité et ses plats inspirés des Philippines, avec un sandwich au Lechon et des smash burgers qui remportent fréquemment les éloges. Le personnel est chaleureux et l'ambiance cosy, agrémentée de touches Star Wars, en fait un endroit propice au travail ou à une pause entre amis. Des boissons originales comme l'ube latte et le matcha latte, ainsi que des pâtisseries et des viennoiseries, complètent des options de petit-déjeuner et de repas réconfortants. Plusieurs retours soulignent la qualité des boissons et des plats ainsi que l'accueil chaleureux et la dynamique communautaire. Cependant, certaines critiques mentionnent des variations de goût selon le barista, un espace parfois trop petit et des temps d'attente, surtout pendant les heures d'affluence. Le lieu est aussi décrit comme une perle locale avec des événements et des collaborations qui animent la communauté. Dans l'ensemble, Café Kuya apparaît comme une destination chaleureuse et gourmande, alliant café remarquable, plats généreux et ambiance accueillante, mais avec des défis d'espace et de constance.
Le café est excellent ! La présentation aussi, & leurs sandwichs, wow. Expérience excellente du début jusqu'à la fin. Il n'y a pas énormément de place a assise à l'intérieur, donc se prendre d'avance. Possibilité de take out. Il y a le parc Léon Gravel pas loin (5 minutes d'auto).
After coming here since opening when the coffee was great & consistent I have chosen to stop going. The prices are fair however the coffee is sub par compared to the competition nearby. Also the smash burger was great the first time, after that it was a repetition of Harvey's esk burgers with literally 1 small pickle slice. If they have more then 4-5 guests be ready to wait 15min or more for coffee. I will say though that the atmosphere & employees are very pleasant.
I really want to like Café Kuya & help support local coffee shops, unfortunately my experience this past weekend was disappointing. First of all, having a working AC during the heat wave would have been nice, also the iced matcha latte that I ordered came with chunks of matcha & grainy clumps at the bottom. Very poor quality of matcha preparation, & the taste of it was just average.
The matcha & cappuccino had a decent taste, however the artwork wasn't very appealing. In addition, I had ordered a hamburger with chicken.The rest of the sandwich was great, despite the mushy bottom of the hamburger.
I've come here two times in a row this week & have enjoyed Cafe Kuya. It's a hidden gem with a good community of local business in the plaza. I have eaten their chicken sandwich & their lechon sandwich. Both were great, but the lechon sandwich was definitely my favorite. I also had their matcha late & regular latte, which were great. The place is a nice cozy environment with some StarWars memorabilia. The staff are friendly & hard working. Cafe Kuya brings some Filipino style to their menu & shares their culture with the community. I am looking forward to coming back to visit again!
