Review Summary

Café Kuya is widely praised for its exceptional food and friendly, efficient service, with many visitors highlighting the delicious beef longanisa breakfast sandwich and the standout grilled cheese as menu favorites. The café offers a cozy and inviting atmosphere that makes it a welcome addition to the neighbourhood, though the small space can become quite busy and occasionally smoky due to kitchen ventilation issues. While most patrons are delighted by the quality of the coffee and specialty drinks like the ube treats, opinions on the matcha lattes are mixed. Overall, the establishment is considered an underrated gem with a welcoming vibe that keeps customers planning their return visits.

Salamat!!!! I loved this Filipino cafe, I had their ensaymada which just reminded me of my tatays cooking, real authentic but it was a sandwich!! Still very tasty. Their ube matcha was good ( it was an extra dollar for the ube syrup). Their pandesal!!!!!! Ang sarap talaga❤?

It was very well priced, & interior was very nice too with blue cushions that were very comfortable. Not a massive cafe but you can definitely find a seat!

Thank you bringing Montreal such tasty Filipino food

Favourite new spot in Saint Henri! Their grilled cheese is $6 & it's AMAZING. The pandesal bread, sweet cheese & sea salt make it such a unique one! Have had their other sandwiches & they all tasted great & fresh. Donuts are great. Service is fantastic, the servers & very nice & kind. Wish there was more space as it's usually full on the weekends. I also always leave with a smoky smell allover my clothes but it's still worth it!
