Kape Tayo LLC — Restaurant in Huntsville

I enjoy this fun little walk-up coffee spot!

This business is located inside University Pickers on the second floor. There are a few tables and chairs in a small anteroom, but for the most part, it's order and pickup at the counter. Works out nicely if you're looking for something to sip on while you browse all the goodies and gifts.

Kape Tayo is focused on Filipino style coffee and treats, and even has some offerings that are basically impossible to find commercially throughout the city like halohalo. The menu is mostly made up of beverages, but they do have a few snack offerings like pork sio pao, cookies, and muffins.

I've been ~3 times now and have enjoyed myself each time. My favorite thing I've gotten so far is their speciality, the iced Kape Kape, which is Kapiko coffee, milk, and coffee gels/jelly. It's a really nice little treat! Sweet and refreshing. All the drinks I've tried have been on the more dessert-y side than coffee side, which is perfect for me as someone who likes some coffee in their sugar...but just a heads up if that's not you!

My only complaint is I do think the drinks are pretty heavy on the milk : coffee ratio, especially for my preference. I had some sips that tasted pretty much just like milk the last time I visited, even after mixing the drink up more.

Still, I've enjoyed each of my drinks and look forward to returning again to try one of their weekly specials. Also definitely wanna give pandan a try too...never had...

I’m a coffee roaster and I dropped in to see what these folks were serving. Although it’s a totally different offering than I’d usually seek out, I absolutely loved it!

On a hot day the Iced Ube Kape was exactly what I needed. Totally different than anything I’d tried before in Huntsville

Not only was the drink refreshing and colorfully stunning, but also the Ube flavor (purple yam) was exceptionally intriguing

Being an inquisitive coffee person, the staff was super receptive to my questions and I ended up learning a lot about Filipino coffee traditions

IMO we need more food and hospitality businesses like this that are trying new things here. And I hope you’ll pop in for drink that you otherwise might not have tried, when you...

A cute little walk-up coffee bar inside the University Pickers store. The menu has a variety of drinks including hot and cold coffees, juice drinks, etc. They also offer a few baked goods as well. We tried a Kape Kape which is a Filipino coffee with coffee gels (my new favorite thing!), milk, whipped cream and a chocolate drizzle on top. The owner made the drink while we waited and was very friendly and conversational. He gave us a bit of history about his business and his background. The coffee was phenomenal, and I was already craving another one before we finished the first one. Definitely worth checking out this cute spot. You will find things that most other coffee shops in the area...
