I finally got a chance to try Kultura Cafe today for lunch. I had this place scoped out and bookmarked for months! The interior offers multiple tables for indoor dining, a photo op corner, and a walk up and order at the counter style concept. Dining-in is welcome, with utensils and napkins available self serve at the counter. All meals are served in to go containers for convenience. I had already looked over the menu and knew I wanted to try the Pork Belly Sisig. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. I placed my order and added a spontaneous milk tea with boba, 'cause why not live a little. Food and drink came out quickly. The pork belly sisig was great, and consisted of shredded browned pork belly with a side of pickled veggies over a bed of rice, with a fried egg and two pieces of lumpia, garnished with a touch of diced white onion. Very tasty. I ordered the Jasmine Tea boba. Pro-tip: you can ask for less sweet on the teas. He customized my milk tea at 50% sweetness. I look forward to coming back to try the pork adobo, order more lumpia and try the spam musubi. It's been awhile since I've had good Filipino food! I grew up in a very culturally diverse area and missed these dishes, so I'm stoked to have this available right down the street from my work. Definitely come in and show this family run small business some love. read more

This was our first time at Kuktura Cafe. My daughter wanted boba and so we decided to check it out. It's a decent sized space with lots of tables to sit. It was super hot inside. We had to ring a bell for someone to come take our order. We ordered Green Apple Slush with Lychee Jelly. It was over $8. They also charge for using a card. The drink was ready quick but....it was just mid. And especially for the price. But they do have a cute photo op wall. read more

Kultura Cafe is such a great spot for desserts and drinks! The milk tea with boba was super creamy with perfectly chewy boba -- not too sweet, just right. The halo halo was refreshing and packed with toppings, with a really nice mix of flavors and textures. And the mochi waffles were SO good -- crispy on the outside and soft and chewy inside. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to! read more

Really enjoyed my visit here! It's hard to find a place that has both great boba and good Filipino food, but they do both really well here. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and homemade. The boba drinks were delicious and refreshing, and the food had great flavor and comfort-food vibes. The cafe itself is cute, clean, and welcoming, making it a nice spot to relax, eat, and hang out. Staff was friendly too. Definitely happy we found this place and I'll be coming back to try more from the menu! read more

Their pork belly tacos were pretty good! I opted for adobo, which was alright, their sisig looked even better. My service was a bit slow and the person taking my order appeared new. However everything was done with a smile. The only thing I didn't see was Halo Halo. There was a poster, but I must have missed it on the menu. Great place to have a quick extended lunch or catch up with a friend. Not a ton of seating, but it isn't cramped either. read more

So glad to have finally made it to Kultura Cafe. I rarely cook Filipino food, especially the pork recipes. To indulge my mom, I buy her what she craves if I can't make it at home. She was so happy with her Beef Kaldereta. It was tender, not greasy, the chunks of meat were not fatty and had great flavor. She only wished there was a bigger serving. My husband and I enjoyed the Pork Belly Sisig plate. Not only was it massive, it was very tasty. Next time we will try their desserts and Lechon Kawali. Also the service was very polite, the chef came out to say hi and the cafe itself is very cute. I especially loved their custom wall illustrations of Filipino food. read more

This is our second time eating at Kultura, under the new management. This is the first time bringing my mom to try the food. So far, I've been loving the food. Even though, the main plate options are limited, they have been good, very tasty, and the rice is always cooked well. The only feedback I'd give is the Chicken Adobe needs to simmer in the sauce a bit longer to capture the flavors. I do appreciate the extra sauce on the side, though. Let me not forgot that they offer off side dishes that often times can change (not sure how often), such as chicken sisig, palabok, etc. The 2 times we've been there, I always feel like I've been transported to a small restaurant in the Philippines. Very casual. The cook, Ricky, always comes out of the kitchen to serve our food in to-go containers, which is very convenient. We'll be sure to return. Tapsilog, here I come! read more

The owner and staff are very helpful and kind, which what really sticks out for me. In general atmosphere is calm and welcoming, which makes it a perfect place to chill and relax. if you are in Rocklin, this Filipino spot is a place to go to. read more

For my daughters birthday we ordered spam musabi as a catering item. I am only giving 4 stars because I have not eaten here otherwise! Ricky was incredibly kind and helpful. And the musabi was delicious and a big hit! The pieces were big--worth the value. I thought I ordered too much, but Everyone ate and enjoyed! Thanks Ricky! read more

I LOVED Kultura Cafe!!! The Tapsilog was the best I've ever had. I LOVE Filipino food and had no idea this place existed. I also got a pork siopa, which I thought was good and a panda waffle which I have never had and I enjoyed it. I really liked the texture of it. I give it 4 stars because the rice fell short. It tasted old and I tasted no garlic in it. I would still go back 10 times over. So happy this place exists! read more

Food was great! Service was quick and timely. The lighting could be a lot brighter inside the restaurant in my honest opinion, but the food more than makes up for it. I ordered the pork belly sisig plate, which comes with rice, an egg, pickled veggies and 2 Shanghai lumpia, which is quite generous. The sisig was crispy with a touch of heat (think spicy). The rice complements the flavors of the sisig really well. I ordered the brown sugar taro milk tea with boba! Solid drink. They can adjust the level of sweetness to your liking as well. There is no way this place should be near empty / slow at 3:30 pm. When I'm back in town, I'll definitely come here again. Locals, support your local restaurants! read more

First time going to the Kultura Cafe. I went on a Sunday and it was very quiet and cool inside. The young man behind the counter was very polite and let us take our time deciding what to order. We got a pork adobo plate, spam masubi, an order of pork sio mai and a brown sugar taro milk tea. The young lady that made our drinks was very shy and quiet and didn't really interact with us but I don't see that as a problem since it was super quiet inside, she fit the vibe so to speak. The food came out steaming hot and it was so good. One of the best pork adobos I've ever had it was so tender and flavorful. It almost passed my favorite that I had in the Philippines. The milk tea was delicious with the perfect amount of sweetness, the siomai and masubi were both great as well. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes! If you are in the mood for some authentic Filipino cuisine I'd definitely recommend the Kultura Cafe! read more

As a customer of Kultura since 2020, I have unfortunately seen a decline in service and food preparation. Back in the day, Kultura cafe was my go-to place for snacks and drinks -- i felt the love in the service I received, the love I felt in the food and drinks, and I felt very proud of a place that represented me and served authentic filipino dishes so close to my home. However, the last time I went, I just can't help but to feel that the magic wasn't there. My recent visit there involved service that was just unacceptable and uncharacteristic of the business. The drink I ordered was just not up to standard as well, with me chewing ice for 75% of it, lol. However, the incompetence and lack of communication signaled as not an issue with the workers themselves, but an issue with onboarding and training. Obviously one bad experience isn't enough to completely check this place off, but It's clear that the issues that I had were symptoms of larger systemic issues at Kultura involving how they train and onboard their employees. I am still willing to give them the benefit of the doubt if they work out these issues. They are a business I truly want to succeed because of the amazing things they provided this community. read more

This is such a cute little establishment that serves delicious Filipino food. Granted, I was not that hungry so I ordered 10 pc fish balls and a Mango Iced Tea with boba. The wait was a bit long though especially with a huge order right before me but it was worth the wait!! If you are not in a hurry to go anywhere and craving some Filipino food, this is a must place to stop by! There's plenty of tables for you to stay and eat too. You just don't find good Filipino food anywhere! read more

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. read more

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!

Came here with my girlfriend on a holiday I forgot when but I drove from the Bay Area just to get some good filipino food. The shop is a bit small but cozy, and it's family owned. The service was good even though the internet cut out at one point so the register or card reader wasn't working as it should have. I'd definitely come back ! read more

One of the better Pilipino food I have tried. The place is more of a cafe where a focus was more on the drinks. The drinks were ok but the food was actually very good. I tried the caldareta, it was good, but not a stand out. The lechon tacos were actually one of the best I had. Personally, I'm not a lechon fan, but this one was sooo good. My favorite part was the skin cracklings inside to give each bite a crunch The Ube pancakes were so good as well. I always found the Ube craze overrated, but these pancakes can help change my mind on that. Overall: this is a yes!!! If you are coming from Thunder Valley casino give this place a shot. It's pretty good read more

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. read more

Went here on a whim after my family and I went to Apple Hill. We were looking for Filipino food cause we were kinda tired of all things Apple and sandwiches. The place is giving modern boba shop feel. The owner was so helpful- he answered all my questions about the menu and was completely transparent about certain items I asked about. We got the pork sisig and chicken sisig + 3 boba drinks. The Pork sisig was super flavorful! I would highly recommend. My 5 year old enjoyed the chicken sisig- but it was on the sweeter side for me. My son also enjoyed the unicorn drink.. I was suprised it was sooo good! We would def come back when we're in the area read more

Food okay, service cool, I think a little loud but I don't complain a lot so I think it would be nice if you come over.

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! read more

The interior is modern, sleek and clean. Simple food menu with a good selection of drinks. It was disappointing that they didn't have lumpia which is what we were craving for. We tried the chicken adobo (came shredded) with rice, an order of embotido and a halo halo. The order came out fast. The food was good. Not sure if the music was too loud or perhaps unfamiliar with the product... but we had to keep repeating our order to the cashier which was a bit discouraging. read more

Their boba and halo halo and pretty tasty. I haven't been too impressed with the food but it could be because my mom is an amazing cook :)

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.

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. read more
