How had I not been here sooner?!?! Cute space and decor. Great drinks and chocolate crinkle cookies. I want to come back and try the Filipino food entrees. So nice to have found a place for Filipino food near my house.

Came in here for some Filipino breakfast, which is hard to find in this area. The guy that helped us was very friendly and the food came out hot, fresh and fast! It had the right amount of garlic rice and my longanisa was cooked perfectly! This is a casual dining spot that also serves boba. I will definitely be back!

Visited Kultura Cafe again and my first visit wasn't a fluke! Ordered the Tapsilog again and it was as good as it was my first time. Last time I left no room for something sweet. While I was stuffed from the Tapsilog, I indulged and ordered the Maiz con Hielo. I was so happy I did!!! Coconut ice cream Vs vanilla was definitely the way to go! Service was great! Everyone was friendly. It's not very big inside with only 6 or so tables but don't let that stop you from enjoying this cute establishment. Even if you can't enjoy on premises, take it to go! You won't regret it! Let's make sure this small business stays opened!

The look of the place is just like a boba shop, clean and cute with an area to take pics. Food lacks some flavor and over priced for portion amount. I did enjoy the mango and calamansi with mango jelly drink, very refreshing. I also ordered Tapsilong to which I was very excited for the garlic rice. Costumer serve was great and welcoming.

Doordashed their halo halo and lechón. I didn't try the lechón because my family wanted it. But they said they loved it and that it was flavorful. I really loved their halo halo. I would definitely order from Them again or eat in if I'm in the area

I will definitely be back for more halo-halo. Though I will request that they not add the coconut sprinkles. The cube of leche flan brought this to traditional Filipino level. What I loved most was instead of the traditional shaved ice, they made a smoothie of ube and ice, and together with the sweetened beans, fresh young coconut, jello bits and sweet corn, this made a very filling and cooling afternoon snack. The last time I was here, maybe about a year and a half ago, I ordered veggie lumpia. I was not impressed because it was dry and limp. I ordered veggie lumpia again, hoping for an improved version since Kultura is under new management. Well, the staff did mention that this was Chinese style lumpia. It was slightly improved, but I won't order this again. Seemed like mostly lumpia wrapper with a scant serving of shredded veg, with a lot of cornstarch-slurry to keep the wrapped lumpia from breaking apart during cooking.

The closest definition I can give of this place is a Filipino Boba shop. L O L they have small sweet and savory snacks as well as some plates food, but not a huge variety. The service was very friendly and very quick. But we did go in the middle of the afternoon so it was not super busy. As far as the ambience, because it is a smaller shop with not too many tables, there was one large table of about six or eight people close to us so it was a little noisy. I had the halo halo which was delicious! It's been a while since I had it, and it's comparable to anything I've had in the Bay Area. My husband had the lechon plate and it was not bad, it came with some rice, lumpia, and pickled carrots and cucumber as a salad. It was not bad, but not great either. However, we are definitely going to come back and try some of their other dishes next time.

Our first time here since the new management took over in 2023. Hankering for Tapsilog after Sunday's church and this was the place I thought of. Got in on opening time at 12 noon just as a crew member was unlatching the door. The dining area was uncomfortably warmer than the weather, but that soon was corrected as the outdoor temperature cooled it down. Having patronized this Pinoy cafe since opening during the pandemic in 2020, we certainly have seen a change in the aesthetics. Gone are the electronic menu screens, TVs and the dark walls with prints like "Where Island Meets Urban" now replaced by a brighter scheme and hanged decor. They, however, left the "karaoke" corner that was in the original restaurant. Kultura definitely looks better now. I can't believe I haven't left a review with the previous Kultura management as they were always the place for us when wanting halo-halo, long-silog and spam-silog. Coming in today, we decided to get the following: Lechon Kawali Plate $15 (lacking lechon sauce). The teen manning the counter didn't know what "Mang Tomas" was, so we let it be. The DF pork was cooked to lechon kawali perfection. Tapsilog $16 (lacking garlic rice and lumpia). Great tasting but should've been served with the "sinangag" (garlic rice) and egg rolls (lumpia). Longsilog $13.50. Wanting and getting it. The garlic rice, atchara and lumpia were the Yin to the longanisa's Yang. The "atchara" or pickled papaya accompanying these viands were probably way tastier than the printed corn veggies on the menu. Halo-halo $9.50 had more sides compared to the previous owners. But it was smaller portioned. They were still serving using Gunther's Ice Cream, which made up for the lack in volume. Avocado Shake $6.50 with 25% sweetness, sadly lacked in flavor. It didn't taste like avocado at all, having been sourced from a powdered mix. It's not a 5-star review for now, but I bet it's going to get better when we return for the Silogs and Plates.

New ownership [Rocklin CA] I've not been to Kultura in over a year and had no idea that they are now under new ownership (coming on one year next month in April). Love the new menu... aside from the extensive options of milk tea and boba drinks they also have a nice variety of appetizers including fishball and Spam Musubi, they have popular dishes like the silogs and plate dishes... even the lechon kawali is back on the menu (which the previous owner had discontinued). I chose the Pork Adobo Plate. Lots of meat! The plate came with two scoops of rice and two pieces of Shanghai lumpia, it was a generous serving. I just think that the cream of corn served with it was a bit out of place and didn't care for it that much ¯\_('~')_/¯ I ordered the Longsilog for my hubby. He enjoyed the dish (except for the creamy corn). Silogs are good anytime of the day and not just for breakfast ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The Kultura name is kept the same but the interior is much brighter with plenty of seating. Clean and enjoyable background music (karaoke style). I'll be coming here more often because not only do they offer traditional Filipino desserts but they also have... what the whutttt... bubble waffles and mochi waffles LoL! Review #1795 updated

Called into Kultura Cafe last Saturday morning inquiring about a party tray of Shanghai and Vegetable lumpia. Ricky, the owner answered and he was very personable. I placed my order by 11am and then picked up my order by 1:45pm. The lumpia Shanghai were so delicious. Cooked perfectly in between each crunch. The vegetable lumpia were also good, but I personally prefer the flavor from the pork Shanghai. The sweet and sour side sauce is a must when dipping these crunchy crunch party favorites. Kultura Cafe also serves up different rice plates and desserts. It's family owned, so be sure to stop by small business for some tasty Filipino food.
