Cafe 86 is a hidden gem that offers a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere perfect for hanging out, studying, or enjoying desserts. The cafe features a clean, friendly environment with murals and thoughtful decor, creating a cozy yet lively vibe. It is located in the corner of a large strip mall, with ample parking nearby, although getting in and out can sometimes be challenging. Inside, the narrow but long space provides plenty of seating, each equipped with outlets and study lamps, making it ideal for students or groups. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, often customizing drinks to suit customer preferences, such as a ube latte with espresso shots.
Cafe 86 specializes in Filipino-inspired desserts and beverages, with the highlight being the heavenly ube desserts displayed prominently. The menu includes items like the Ube Butter Bar, Ube Pop Tart, and Milo Cupcake. The Ube Butter Bar, similar to a moist, sweet brownie made with ube, is especially praised, though the Ube Pop Tart received some criticism for its dry crust and insufficient filling. Drinks like the Jasmine Calamansi tea are fresh and flavorful, appreciated by those who enjoy jasmine and citrus flavors.
While the drinks are generally fresh-tasting and the service top-notch, prices tend to be higher than usual, especially for certain items like the Halo Halo. During busy times, seating can be limited. Despite this, the overall experience is highly recommended for those seeking delicious Filipino-inspired desserts and drinks in a friendly, comfortable setting.
