I was craving dessert and this place knocked it out of the park. Their upside down halo-halo was great and the flan was beautifully done. Coffee is really good too! Can’t wait to be back to try other snack!!!

Really good people.I ordered a Jasmine calamansi and it was really bitter for my taste, so I asked the staff to make another drink and they so graciously did so. Shoutout to the 86 team?

Cafe 86 opened a location in Norcal, specializing in ube desserts and drinks. I usually order an upside down halo halo to share with friends. Delicious with traditional and modern toppings like ice cream, frosted flakes, and boba, it's a nice treat to share with others (or eat it by yourself to satisfy a sweet tooth). Seating is limited in the cafe. Would recommend if you're in the area.

So delicious for ube lovers! However, they have other options for people who might not like ube as much. I got the Ube Monster Milkshake with boba and it was so tasty. The drink tasted almost like cookies and cream and the boba was warm and chewy. I also got the ube butter bar which was so smooth and flavorful. It was not too sweet and I would definitely go back just for the bar. I went on a Saturday afternoon and it was busy but the line moved quick. I think they take more time to make Halo Halo since my order came out fast but we had to wait on my friend's halo halo.

One of the most delicious and unique desserts in the area! This place made me dream about their Ube drink for days! This location is inside a plaza and parking was easy. The staff is friendly and the decor is fun. The drinks here are absolutely delicious! They also have several desserts but we didn't try them...yet! Our favorite drink was the Upside Down Halo Halo. It comes with Ube base Halo Halo, Coconut Jellies, Jack Fruit, Boba, Frosted Flakes, Scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream and Flan. This drink was perfect. Very well balanced and flavorful. It is big and my husband and I shared one. It was perfect for us! We stopped by another location the following week because we had been dreaming about the drink and got to try the regular halo halo which comes with the same ingredients above but not an ube base. The upside halo halo takes the price. If you are around a Cafe 86 location, give this drink and some of their desserts a try! You won't regret it.

So glad that Cafe 86 opened up in NorCal! We were going to the one in Artesia after Disneyland before this one opened. Same great ube food and service. Our drinks were well prepared, and the desserts and sandwiches were awesome as well. Our nephew Ethan works here so it was cool to see him there tonight. Cheers!

Was in the area and decided to grab a few UBE desserts to go. I was honestly IMPRESSED by ALL of their drinks and treats! Upside Down Halo Halo - The BEST I've ever had, loved the cereal, jellies were large so use a spoonUbe Crack Cheesecake - This was DELICIOUS, full on UBE flavor Ube Tres Leches - This one was ALRIGHT, exciting to try out the idea Anyways, I definitely recommend y'all stop by and try out their Halo Halo and desserts!
