Today is a hot day today and I wanted to come to Cafe 86 since they're a Filipino cafe I believe…read moresince they serve Ube items especially Halo Halo. It's very quiet when I come here and there were only a few people here. I wanted to take my order in person but the employee seems to be too busy in preparing them. I waited for a couple minutes and then decided to order from the Kiosk. The Upside Down Halo Halo was interesting because some of the ingredients were swapped such as Ube ice cream with the yellow one. I don't know what it's called but I'll have to look it up. Usually Halo Halo's main ingredient is Ube ice cream, which is why it's flipped upside down. Anyways, let's talk about what they also included, they included boba, Leche flan, and other flavorful ones, which I don't know what they're called. I may have to research it. I'm surprised that they included boba, which isn't really usual to be a part of this dessert. They all taste good though. It's like other Halo Halo I had from many Filipino restaurants. There are two locations that are near my home: Union City (which is here) and Milpitas. Even though that the one is slightly closer to my location, I came here since I wanted to try going to places in Union City. Definitely will be coming to Milpitas location the next time I go to Cafe 86.

Their calamansi jasmine tea is refreshing, especially on a hot summer day. Con- the wait can be quite long especially if you go after dinner or during the weekends. We have experienced the long waits multiple visits so if you're in a hurry or don't have extra time to wait, then maybe consider another place. Otherwise, I would say it's worth the wait!

Nothing but a short walk back to let the front person know. He hopped to it and apologized. Then, I was provided with a reusable lid instead of the originally first time shrink wrap packaging.

We ordered the Vietnamese iced coffee, brown sugar pearl latte, and the strawberry banana crepe. Both drinks were delicious--the Vietnamese iced coffee had a nice bold coffee flavor, and the brown sugar pearl latte was refreshing with chewy boba. The crepe, however, was a bit disappointing. It was on the dry side, and I think it would have been much better with Nutella and whipped cream inside to add more flavor and moisture. Overall, I'd come back for the drinks, the inviting space, and the friendly service. Just probably skip the crepe next time.

There is an ordering kiosk so all customization is done on there. We didn't pay extra for the pistachio's and they were pretty generous with the amount they gave us. Definitely try the Sheryakh or the Zhala, which they're known for. We literally drove 6 hours just to come here for the ice cream, and it was absolutely worth the trip. Everything was fresh, delicious, and authentic. This place never disappoints, and we will definitely be coming back again!

I did take a bite of it, and I have to agree with him. Next time, we'll ask them to go light on the toppings! Theres both indoor and outdoor seating and this place is well lit, with lots of ventilation! The workers are always kind & friendly but sometimes they do forget to wipe the extra caramel or milk that ends up on the outside of the cup before handing it over to you!
