If you want a place that does Ube justice, this is the place you want to try. I've tried tons of places that sell ube treats and none of them come close to this. I highly recommend their ube butter bars that replicates the ube in the Philippines. Highly recommend this place if you want real ube!
After picking peaches, we were hot and looking for something refreshing. My friend had a craving for halo halo and I checked Yelp and determined that there was a Café 86 nearby. Having been to their location in Union City, we had enjoyed their halo halo. The inside of this location was cozy with a sofa and chair seating section and tables bar tables along the windows. The display case of desserts looked delish, but we were here for the halo halo. They had an Upside Down Halo Halo, but we went with the traditional one. It had jackfruit, red and green gulaman, macapuno, boba, and other items, and topped with a piece of leche flan, corn flakes and a scoop of ube ice cream. I liked how they make it creamy with a coffee flavor instead of the usual shaved ice and condensed milk. You have to eat some of the topping before you can mix it up to be milk shake like. My friend, who ordered first, got her's with vanilla ice cream on top. The worker noticed it and apologized and gave her a scoop of ube ice cream on the side. Having had halo halo from different places in the Bay Area, I think Café 86 makes a pretty darn good one. I remember they use to offer one size at $8, but not it's $11 for a regular and $10 for a mini. For a $1 more, of course, I went with the regular. For a tasty halo halo, check out Café 86.
It's always nice and cool inside, making it the perfect spot to cool down on a hot day. The space has a counter with high chairs by the window, about six tables (four seats each), a lounge area with a couch, plus a foosball table and claw machine for some extra fun. Restrooms are conveniently located on the side. Love how the menu is on huge TVs so you don't have to squint at small menu papers / they also offer QR code. 10/10 friendly and nice customer service. We went by closing time yesterday and never felt rushed out at all. My daughter is obsessed with the truffles--she orders four every time! They even have a deal for four truffles and a calamansi juice for around $21, which was kindly offered to us (though she declined). I appreciate that they share those deals since we wouldn't have known otherwise. We've been here several times and have tried the Thai Tea Shake, Upside Down Halo Halo, and Ube Cheesecake Bar. My personal favorite is the Upside Down Halo Halo--it's made with real ube ice cream blended into a creamy milkshake texture, with toppings at the bottom, vanilla ice cream on top, and even a bite-sized leche flan. It does get busy, which speaks to how good the food, drinks, and service are. This has become one of our go-to dessert spots, especially when my parents are visiting and craving a sweet treat. The convenient location with plenty of parking, plus the option for easy online ordering, makes it even better.
It's an ube (purple yam) specialty store, how can one go wrong? They have ube-leche flan (custard) cupcake which is an ube cupcake topped with creamy flan. There's also the ube truffle which is a ball of goodness. I don't particularly like cheesecakes because of its consistency and how dense some of them are. But the ube cheesecake they have is light. If you're a sweet tooth, you should try this one!
For all ube indigence, Cafe 86 is absolutely the place to be. I am glad that we finally have one here right close to home. No more travelling to Union City, Chino Hills and even Las Vegas for that matter. Ube Crack Cheese is where its at for me, decadent, rich, delicious. My daughter on the other hand loves their Ube Leche Flan. Do do not forget their Ube Truffles also. Pretty much everything is yummy at Cafe 86. I also like that they themed their store around the venerable AE86 Trueno, I swear one time I will roll into the store with my own 86. True that the prices at Cafe 86 can be a little steep. But indulging on their wonderful ube pastries once in a while is a money very well spent.
So awesome to have a Cafe 86 here in Antioch! I love the merge of new Asian/Pacific Island restaurants opening here in the area. First Jollibee and now Cafe 86! This location is pretty big with a good amount of lounge seating. They have every item stocked and the two employees work quick and efficient. I ordered a halo-halo and it got made within minutes and it also came out perfect! I can't wait to come back and try more. The addition of a Filipino bakery/tea house is exactly what we needed in the city. It provides more flavor and options for everyone.
If you love ube, you will love this place. The menu has ube unique desserts. They are all delicious! The desserts have just the right amount of sweetness
Upside Down Halo Halo - loved the ube milk used as the base of this dessert, and the ube ice cream was nice too. The jelly wasn't mind blowing and neither was the jackfruit slices, which were so few and little. It could use a bit more toppings. Other than that, it was pretty good. $10. Ube Crack Cheesecake - flavor was good, the ube flavor came through and the cream cheese flavor also came through. The bottom crust was a bit too thick in my opinion but also had a good flavor. But man, the size was super tiny for $5. Therefore I don't think it was a good value. Ube Butter Bar - I had high hopes but the butter bar we got, while the overall flavor was pretty good, tasted like it'd been in a fridge for a long time. It didn't taste fresh at all. I was super disappointed. Not worth $5.
Ube paradise. The up-side-down halo halo is a must-try. It is highly recommended to visit this place. The hype is definitely worth it. The service was top-notch. The staff was fast and very knowledgeable about the menu. If you want to hang out with friends or go on a date, this is a great place to go. Show your support for your local businesses. Their Ube pop tarts are a must-try. I will definitely come back to try other menu items.
I've always heard raves about Cafe 86's halo halo from co-workers and I'm glad that they finally opened up a spot in Antioch. Their upside down halo-halo is so refreshing especially during the scorching heat of our summers. I love their shaved ice and the cereals adds more crunch to it, I do hope that they offer the option of adding the traditional sweet mung beans. We have mostly tried their pastries on different occassions: from ube leche flan cupcakes, ube bars, ube tres leches, ube cheesecake and my new favorite, the ube truffles. They are rich and so yummy! The only setback is the price, as we volunteered to bring their desserts to a potluck of close to 40 people and shelled out a whooping $190 for them. Was it worth the blood sugar spike? Definitely yes! But we'll just be more careful to bring it for a smaller group next time. Other than that, the place is clean, the staff are friendly and there's always ample parking.
If you love Ube, this place will make your dreams come true! I've had Cafe 86 in San Jose and I am excited to have one in this area. The location is inside a plaza and there is plenty of parking. The decor is fun, trendy and very clean! The staff if very nice and friendly. I finally came to this location; it was just as good as I remembered! The Upside Down Halo Halo is my go-to drink! One regular is big enough to share with one more person. It comes with an Ube base blend, Coconut Jellies, Jack Fruit, Boba, Frosted Flakes, Scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream and Flan. It is the perfect mix!!!! It is also not too sweet and very refreshing! They also have many other Ube desserts! Next time I'll probably share the upside-down halo halo to try other desserts. Give this place a try! You won't regret it.
Great upside down halo halo! A regular size can be shared between 2 people. Dessert wasn't too sweet and refreshing on a hot day. Lots of parking outside and cozy indoor seating. If you love ube this is your place to visit! Did not have to wait too long for our desserts either!
If you are an Ube lover you got to try this cafe out I can't remember the names of what we order but see the pictures lol everything was good, the employee was super friendly, and patient . There's parking right infront and is a nice place to hang out. Just know that the GPS send me behind the place so I had a walk around the corner to get to it.
The store is really cute and has a nice theme to it, very modern. However the music is very loud and I have to yell over the cashier taking my order. If you have a sweet tooth this place is for you! They mainly specialize in Ube flavored items and it taste authentic and real. It is a bit too sweet to my liking but it is really good. However I think the prices are pretty ridiculous and in my opinion over priced. read more

I find their Halo Halo drink was not the traditional Pinoy filled with banana, sweet beans, kaong, and lots of gulaman jellies in milk/sugar base. Their menu is really Ube overload. I only have a few options that's not Ube. I opted for the Halo Halo without the Ube base shaved ice. After a few taste of it, I think it was pricey for just bits of corn flakes, jellies, bobas, a square piece of leche flan and a scoop of ube ice cream on top. The shaved ice based tasted like coffee or mocha? The combination of these said mixtures tasted weird for me. This place has too much "Ube" in its pastries, drinks etc. Perhaps try to serve other Pinoy kakanin varieties. Other than that, the place is just ok. read more

Our go to for any UBE FIX. The best hands down Halo Halo anyone could ever have and I am soooooo ecstatic it's here! You may want to make sure your electronic devices are fully charged before coming here because there is usually a line here but worth the wait. My favorite is the Turon Pop Tart. It's easily one of our usual spots we go to when we want to treat ourselves. read more

Each treat is meticulously crafted, ensuring a delightful balance of flavors. The Ube Crack Cheesecake melts in your mouth with every bite and the Ube Crinkles were definitely a favorite. My husband loved his White Mocha Blended latte, it was a nice treat for him. The matcha latte was watered down and did not have much of a matcha taste. A definite go-to for coffee and dessert lovers. read more

I came to this location last year of December and then I came back again today from SoCal and Allie and owner Robert were just so welcoming and sweet all their sweets and drinks are amazing . I was sharing with Allie how I love Ube and always get my matcha with Ube foam and she went out of her way to make me Ube foam even tho it wasn't on the menu . Thanks to both of them definitely a location I'd come back to if I'm in town again and definitely recommending it to all my friends and family read more

Welcome to Antioch Cafe 86! We are an #ubenerd family, so of course we're excited to have them close by now! Came to support their opening night (4/6/24) and what a success! Long line but felt like it moved quickly thanks to the DJ spinning. Beautifully decorated interior with seating on the left and a small lounge area on the right. Menu is displayed on two large TV displays off to the right. Display case of treats next to the register. Staff is friendly and efficient. Met the owner who was handing out the drink orders, sweetest lady ever!!Antioch finally has a dessert cafe (p.s. they also serve sandwiches)! read more
