"Kuya Jay’s is serving some of the best lattes and sweet treats in the Boston area. Each week they cycle between delicious Filipino treats like Biko cups, ube rice crispy treats, and ensaymada and they are inventive with their cold foam flavors like banana, pandan, and, of course, ube. The owners are absolute treasures and are constantly doing outreach work to help the Filipino and Asian community. They have fantastic ideas to bring back night markets, djs to cafes, and even have books dedicated to learning Tagalog and learning about Filipinos in the Boston area in their cafe for customers to read. They have also catered full lechons to our holiday party and make delicious traditional Filipino dishes. Their Lola’s pancit recipe is excellent. The vibe inside the cafe is clean, bright, and homey with awesome purple and gold decor. They were unfairly shut down by the city for serving sweet buns that the city called a sandwich and said violated their sweet treat food license. Come out and support these amazing locals!!!"

"I went today for the first time, I will definitely be going back!! The drinks were delicious, I tried the Filipino lemonade and my mother tried the Ube hot latte. Both were so so good. They weren’t overpowering, it was just the right amount of flavor and citrus for the lemonade and sweet in the latte. I absolutely loved the atmosphere as well, very cozy and purple of coarse! It’s designed beautifully as a nice spot for the community. I also met Jay, the owner of the cafe and he was wonderful. He spoke to us honestly and kindly about the struggles it has been to get this cafe up and running but the amount of heart he puts into his work is apparent and beautiful. This is a wonderful addition to our community, I can’t wait to go back."

"This is a wonderful new spot! I recommend coming here, the drinks were so tasty. The customer service was so kind, it felt welcoming like home. I hadn’t tried ube before until now, I loved it! But now it’s your turn, so go and try it at this amazing spot!"

"The ube iced latte with banana brûlée cold foam was so good! It was very sweet, and so was the staff. Will definitely be coming back. ❤️🌞💙"

"For anyone who hasn't had ube before, this is the right place to come - there are so many options from milk tea to lattes to even rice crispie treats. Super excited to see this open in the neighborhood and hope they're here for a long time"
