I came for their iced matcha ube latte. The foam & syrup were individually additional charges. I thought there would be speciality drinks as their unique menu but it was really just customizable. Anyway, I obviously got the ube foam & it tasted as if u were eating heavy ube whip but it was still pretty darn good. However,I thought the matcha itself was quite grassy, it was not whisked well as i eventually found it all at the bottom. It was 7$~. I also got the pandesal with the mango & peach jam, it was two breads with one side of jam for 5$. It was served hot, but tasted okay. I liked the jam though. The place was actually quite small & busy, it was hard to hear myself talking. Besides that, I found the ube donut the best part out of everything i ordered. It was deliciously filled & tasty.

Great coffee!! The menu has a lot of options but today I opted for a simple iced latte that hit the spot. We got a grilled cheese sandwich that was VERY good. Every ingredient in it was tasty. Service was good. Inside the coffee shop also looks super cute. They did a great job !

When I saw Kuya had just opened I was excited to try it out! Especially their grilled cheese

I went around 12pm & there were just a little bit of people, but after waiting for our food a table freed up & we were able to dine in.

Their grilled cheese was AMAZING! Will be comping back for another one. I also fried their breakfast sandwich which has also very yummy.

Their coffee was good, nothing crazy but I will say that the food was the main event for me.

The only thing is that it did get kinda smoky in there since they were cooking & I think their ventilation for the oven/stove was not very good. After a while it was better which is why we decided to stay.

Staff was super friendly & the wait time for the food wasn't too long (10-15mins max)

Will be coming back for that grilled cheese!! & maybe try some other coffee drinks!

Such warm & friendly staff. Prices are fair. Coffee (cappuccino) was alright. Food (breakfast sandwich) was pretty tasty.

Main thing to improve would be the smoky-ness if you're sitting inside. You might leave smelling like the food.

But overall a great experience.
