Every cup starts with Kumusta.
A full espresso bar, the Signature Tres — ube, matcha and arnibal — and a welcome your guests will remember.
Three signatures. One story. Ours.
The flavors we grew up with, poured beside every classic your guests already love.
The one everyone photographs
The Ube Latte
Our house ube blend stirred through steamed milk. Sweet, creamy, and purple all the way down — the flavor everyone's discovering, from the people who grew up with it.
Gently grassy
The Matcha Latte
Matcha and steamed milk — quietly green, and the base of the Ube Matcha, the drink our guests order most.
Caramel-deep
The Arnibal Latte
Arnibal — the dark brown sugar syrup you'd taste on Filipino taho — stirred through espresso and milk.
The Ube Matcha
Our ube blend swirled through matcha and finished with cold foam — two flavors, one cup, iced only. The one guests come back for.

The welcome came first
Kumusta — "how are you?" — is the first thing you hear walking into a Filipino home. Before anything is served, you're asked, you're seen, you're welcomed.
I built Kmusta to bring that welcome to Ottawa's events: the flavors I grew up with, served the way my family serves guests. My coffee story started far from home — in 2010, as an overseas Filipino worker in Saudi Arabia, I got my first barista job at Costa Coffee with no experience and no idea where it would lead. Fifteen years of cups and lessons later, that dream is finally pouring in Ottawa.

Where the cart shows up
The things planners ask us
What equipment do you use?
A commercial espresso machine and trained baristas — the same class of gear as a full café. No home machines, ever.
How many guests can you serve?
We staff one barista per ~75 guests so lines keep moving. Tell us your headcount and we'll size the setup.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — fully licensed and insured, and we're happy to provide documents to your venue.
Where do you serve?
Ottawa-Gatineau and the surrounding National Capital Region.
How far ahead should we book?
3–6 months for peak season (May–October weddings, September–November corporate). Shorter notice? Ask — we'll tell you honestly.
What do you need from the venue?
A standard power outlet and roughly a parking-space of floor room. We handle setup and teardown.
How does pricing work?
Every event is quoted to its size and package. Check your date and you'll see your number right away — no waiting on an email back.
Kumusta! Let's make your event the one guests are still talking about.
