My family and I love chasing birds on Ontario road trips, and grabbing Kopiko Coffee Candy at Walmart Canada was a sweet addition to our latest adventure. This Pinoy favorite, with its bold coffee flavor, kept us energized while spotting woodpeckers and cardinals. We stopped to enjoy it, snapping photos and savoring the sarap. Here’s why Kopiko is a perfect snack for Filipino-Canadian birdwatchers on the go.
We found the shiny Kopiko bag at Walmart, a sari-sari store treasure for our trip.

The candies, in their brown and gold wrappers, looked so inviting spread out.

We poured some into a bowl, perfect for snacking between binocular glances.

Kopiko, made with real coffee extract, tastes like kapeng barako—a Filipino classic loved worldwide. Each piece has 5–7 mg of caffeine, so I gave my kids just one, heeding the package’s warning. At 70 calories for 4 pieces, it’s a light snack for our drive to spots like Chutes Coulonge Park. This candy felt like a Filipino meryenda, adding joy to our birdwatching.
Kopiko’s a budget-friendly gem for Pinoy travelers in Ontario. Want more birdwatching fun? Check out my YouTube playlist, “Ontario Bird Feeder Vlogs,” for 5-minute clips of backyard birds and feeder moments.
