Finally made it to Binka Bites after hearing so many good things about it, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The Millbrae location is bright, modern, and spacious. Their menu has a ton of options, although there aren't many pictures, so it took us a minute to decide. Thankfully the staff were super friendly and patient. We ordered a dozen Binka Bites in 6 different flavor (Choco Bavarian, Dubai Chocolate, Churro Biscoff, Nutella, Oreo, and Mango Cream), 2 Spam Musubis, and a Chicken Empanada. It was my first time trying Binka Bites and I really enjoyed them. The texture reminds me of a hybrid between mochi and sponge cake, soft, chewy, and not overly sweet. My favorite flavor out of the box was definitely the Nutella. For leftover, I would recommend to microwave them for a 5-8 seconds before eating so it will be soft and warm. The Spam Musubi had a great spam-to-rice ratio imo (very important lol) with decent amount of sauce. Meanwhile, the Chicken Empanada was fresh, hot, and packed with flavorful shredded chicken. Overall, it was a really great first visit. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying their Mini Adobo Rice with Scrambled Egg next time.

A shop that specialized on Philippine bibingka( coconut rice cake) at Milbrae. The shop is nice with seating areas. It was not busy when we arrive as the just opened. There are different topping of bibingka you can choose from like Dubai chocolate, Nutella, etc. They also have coffee, latte, halo halo drink, smoothie, boba, and food too. Most of bibingka the are in shape of cup cake with different topping. I ordered Vietnamese ice coffee and Dubai chocolate pistachio bibingka and they are good and yummy. I wish the vietnamese coffee a bit stronger. I wish they have buco pie but they don't have it today. It is nice store as it has many choices to choose from. Will try other stuff next time.

The food, drinks, and service was incredible here. The ube latte was perfectly sweet, and the empanada with the chimichurri sauce was so flavorful. The woman working was so sweet and offered my friend and I a delicious dessert on the house. Definitely come to support a good local business!

Ommmggggg. This is a must try. Best Binkas I've had in a long time! We got the binka with cheese, binka with coconut, guava dulce and Dubai chocolate-- and that was the order of our favorites. Though it says "cupcake" it isn't a traditional cupcake it is more baked mochi consistency and it's just the perfect amount of sweet. We also got the Vietnamese coffee (hot) and ube with espresso (hot). We loved both and highly recommend trying them! Justine was so nice and friendly. The store was clean and orderly. We will definitely be back!

We came here for some dessert after a late Easter lunch. The restaurant we were at ran out of dessert and my wife wanted some. We did a quick search on Yelp and found this Filipino gem. When we walked in, we were greeted by very nice employees and live music. We ordered a variety of Filipino delights: Ube Flan Binka Bite, Dulce Salted Egg Binka Bite, Regular Taho, Strawberry Taho, Mango Shake and Halo Halo. Everything we had were good. The vibe here is chill, coffee shop feel as there are a number of people just hanging out and chatting and working on their laptops. I would come here again for more of their Filipino offerings.

I came here to pick up an online order I made two days ago. Free parking is available nearby. My order was already ready when I arrived but after I saw what they had, I had to stay to try one of their Binka bites. I tried one of my favorite Ube. Ube has three different flavors and I tried flan Ube. After my first bite, one of the owners Jasmin offered to warmed it up. Oh my goodness, it melted in my mouth. So soft and yummy. I can't decide if I like as is or heated. Both good, you can buy two and try both ways. I thought I was full from lunch but this one came down easily. They have a whole lot of on the menu that what's online. Perfect for lunch or snack. I can't wait to come back for more next time I am in the area

I like coming to this shop when I'm craving a little sweet treat! Came on Friday to see that they are selling Dubai chocolate binka bites so I had to get two! Also got 2 ube oreo because I never saw these flavors before! Also got the s'mores and cookie mocha flavor ! The Dubai chocolate is sooooooooo goood I wish I got more now! We try to come in every now and then in hopes of seeing if they stocked up with their bread pudding. No luck though. But that's okay! Service is really smooth! They packaged the desserts in a box with a sticker! Asked for a bag to carry them in. I like the layout and the interior whenever I come in. It gives a very cozy vibe! Nice lighting comfy couch. It is very welcoming! Def will come back

Can't believe I just found this place! It's a hidden gem! Ordered taho, Ube latte, empanada (not pictured), and a bunch of cupcake binka bites. The taho was SO good. Reminds me of the street taho in the Philippines. That was the highlight, but all of the other food and drinks were yummy! The inside was spacious and well lit. Good place to hang out. Cashier was super nice. They even brought out the order to us. Will definitely be coming back!

Binka bites is a cafe rooted in Filipino pastries and influences in all their items, in particular, Ube, mango and dulce flavored sweets and coffee. Having passed by the spot on numerous occasions, I've decided to finally order here after moping around all morning in the area without caffeine, I mustered up the idea to yelp some options and binka came up. Conveniently, they also sold pastries so what better pairing on a Sunday morning? I ordered the Uber vanilla latte which had a mild Ube and vanilla flavor, while not being overly sweetened (preference). This paired really well with the guava and in particular, the biscoff bite I ordered. On top of that, we also ordered a nice beef empanada which was made to order. The empanada had a nice baked crust with delicious, perfectly seasoned filling. The service at binka was one highlight in particular. The staff were bubbly, and very helpful to any questions I had on items, and they were informative as far as recommendations after I mentioned being a first time patron. The store itself was very brightly lit, very clean and offered a relaxing environment for any folks looking to chat with friends over some cafe items. Parking is plentiful between the plazas underground lot and street parking, although it can get a little hectic. I'd invite anyone looking for some coffee and pastries to come try this place!

my friends and i decided to come to this cafe for their matcha after reading a lot of great reviews about this cafe. we came in on a friday morning & there was no wait to order, with one person doing both the front and back of the house duties. my friend ordered the matcha latte & my other friend ordered the ube latte. when the girl came out with the matcha latte, we knew something wasn't right. the color was super dull and not vibrant like how good matcha should be. the drink itself tasted like milk mixed with green tea NOT matcha. my other friend who ordered the ube matcha was also extremely disappointed. it tasted nothing like ube and tasted like sugar mixed with milk. she decided to ask the cashier to make her another drink (thai tea) & was also super disappointed with it. it was way too sweet and tasted nothing like thai tea. after my friend complained about her matcha drink, i decided to order a black sesame latte. we waited around 20 mins before the barista came out to tell us she was unable to make it. i wish she would have told us a bit earlier instead of making us wait for that long. overall, i don't think i would come back. the drinks were very mid.

This was a surprise find for us as we looked for a gluten free location for my daughter and did we score with our visit here. I could have just kept ordering items. The sticky rice with mango was excellent as were the two savory cupcakes we had and the drinks. The Manila Ube espresso latte was delicious but was over taken by the mango drink they had - awesome.

Binka Bites is a cute little restaurant in Millbrae. Parking is fairly easy depending on the time of day. the people that work there are really nice. The food was just OK. We got Elizabeth's favorite muffin and that was really good as was the Nutella. The spam musubi was microwaved so the saran wrap was really stuck to the rice and the spam. There was not enough teriyaki sauce and way too much rice. It was out of balance. We ordered the Japanese style egg salad sandwich and to me, Japanese style means no crust, but there was crust on it. There wasn't much filling as you can see from my picture and it was expensive. that being said the bread and the egg salad was delicious. We loved it. The problem was that they told us we had everything but then when we got home, we found we did not have everything. they hadn't given us the sandwich so I had to drive all the way back. It's sort of was fine because I needed to drive back anyway because the Thai tea was terrible. they hadn't put any sweetener in it and it just tasted awful so that was a disappointment but once they fixed it, it was really good. So overall, it wasn't the best experience but then again it wasn't the worst either.

Absolutely delicious! Binka Bites is a must-visit for anyone who loves bibingka with a creative twist. I tried the Nutella, Oreo Cream, Guava Dulce, and Mocha Cannoli Cream flavors, and each one was amazing in its own way! The texture was perfectly soft and chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness. My favorite was the Mocha Cannoli Cream flavor! The flavors are so well thought out, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. Can't wait to come back and try more!
