The beef longanisa breakfast sandwich was very good & reasonably priced for its size! The coffee was nice as well. The service from the barista was excellent!

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.

I can admit I was skeptical at first since this café only had around 34 reviews. I can say, however, it is severely underrated :)

Since it was our first time at this café, Ivy (the cashier) explained to us the menu & she was really patient & kind about it. The service from her & the rest of the staff was impeccable & the same goes for the food & drinks as well.

Me & my mom ordered two sandwiches which were the Longganisa Breakfast Sandwiches. One pork for her & one halal beef longganisa for me. My mom also grabbed a hot chocoalte & I grabbed a mocha. I put the prices, if you're interested, in the description of the photos.

The atmosphere of the place, despite it being on the smaller side was really comfy & inviting. So, if you have some friends, or family, & you don't know what on earth to eat today, I suggest you drag them here with you & get something to eat, lol.

I would highly recommend this place with my whole soul. & I will definitely be back for some more food 😊

Phenomenal service & space. Longanisa sandwich is sensational & the kaldereta grilled cheese was good as well. Only complaint would be that it got pretty smoky from the kitchen (pls better ventilation). Will return for sure 👍
