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

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.
