Honestly, the atmosphere is definitely nice (except for all the signs saying no outside food or…read moredrinks allowed). The coffee isn't good and, honestly, a little overpriced for the flavor. My friends like the matcha and the desserts. It's close to campus, so I understand why it's so popular. Also, I've only gotten the specialty coffee options, and charging an extra $0.50 for ice is weird imo.

My favorite halo-halo spot!…read more I come to Cafe 86 all the time, and honestly, their halo-halo is one of my absolute favorites! It's probably the ONLY halo-halo I can actually finish because it's not overwhelmingly sweet. Everything blends together perfectly, and you can actually enjoy all the flavors without feeling like you're eating a bowl of pure sugar! Both their regular Halo-Halo and Upside Down Halo-Halo are SO GOOD! I also love their calamansi drinks and Cali-Mango Slush. So refreshing and delicious! The atmosphere is another reason I keep coming back. They even have a cute little mini library with books, which I love! There are always people studying or just hanging out, and it has such a nice, relaxed coffee shop vibe. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the service is consistently good. I love having a place nearby where I can enjoy my favorite Filipino desserts, relax, and just hang out.

Such a good underrated spot for some drinks with their filipino-themed flavors and some teas!!! My…read morefriends and I decided to come here because of a really good deal and we were all saying that we should come here more often because of how good the drinks were. You can either order with the staff or order through the kiosk on the right side. You have an option to type on the text box if you need to change the milk to oat milk, for example. I always ask for just in case they do have oat milk so if you have any special requests, depending on how busy it is, might be better to talk to someone to order!!! The Tiger Tea was really delicious and was a good amount of sweet. The Mermaid drink was a fav from my group. I really liked the Milo and the Ube Milk teas. They were pretty quick with the orders so it's not too crowded inside of people waiting. It's very cozy inside and there's warm lighting and some books too for people to read. Public bathroom in the back.

There was a line out the door but once you actually get to order, the employees work fast. We snagged street parking but they have spaces around the back as well. The pastry case did look a bit disorganized/unlabeled so could use some work. Simple decor and lots of seating.

He got mango + blue raspberry, and I went with watermelon + blue raspberry because apparently we both have a serious love for anything blue raspberry. They were so sweet and offered us samples, so of course we happily tried the mango and blue raspberry before deciding. I even added ice cream because... why not? I love that they have monthly specials too, so there's always something new to try. The whole place has such a fun, colorful, happy vibe. And now that my brother has moved to the area, I already know we'll be back often! Always love discovering and supporting locally owned, minority-owned businesses.

Has the Summer Time which was good but I did wish it was a little more tart. That may have been my fault and next time I will try some other flavors to get that punch I am looking for. Parking- Shares a fairly large parking lot with many other businesses. I did not have trouble finding parking but I could see that it would not always be that easy.

They have coffee drinks, matcha drinks, salt breads, sushi rolls, Sandos, and a chicken katsu plate that looks promising. I ordered the sea salt vanilla latte and a jalapeno parm salt bread. The bread was small but satisfying. The sea salt latte was very balanced. This place seems to get busy with students from CSUN but I'd say it's still a good place to hang or get some work done

Wanted to try a new dessert place…read more Churro Sundae- Comes with a churro base and two scoops of ice cream with a topping. The taste was good but here are my two issues that made this a 3 star rating instead of a 4 star rating- 1) Price is a little steep at $15. 2) If I am going to pay $15 for this product I want it to be really good and not just pretty good. The ratio of churro to ice cream was not what it should have been. The churro was long gone way before the ice cream was. Parking- Shares a lot lot with other businesses.

I always get their assorted ponchik because I…read morecan't pick just a single flavor -- you can't go wrong with any of them because they're all pretty good! The texture is always right and they're generously filled. It's one of their popular items, but they have a lot of other good stuff on their menu too! Their perashkis are good if you're looking for something savory (I wish there was an "assorted" box for this too for when I can't pick a single flavor). Also recommend their Bread broat - Adjarakan and Georgian Khachapuri. And then there's the cake section. Don't get me started on this. I'm admittedly biased when it comes to honey cakes but their assorted sheet cakes are SO GOOOOOOD!!! Just the right sweetness and texture, and good portion sizing (bless them for this because I'd eat the whole sheet otherwise). So yeah, if you're looking for a new spot to try or just want a break from other known big or chain bakeries, try Papillon!

Today my husband, who is very picky, decided to try their lahmajun for the first time. He loved it! It was crisp, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. That was another win for Papillon. Definitely worth trying a variety of their recipes--you really can't go wrong here.
