This is by far one of my favorite spots to get Filipino inspired desserts with a twist. The location is small with limited seating, but the service is quick and the staff is friendly.

Back again... Cookie Monster and Halo Halo are our fam favorites. Ambiance is enjoyable as we get to sit and enjoy our treats. Service interaction is always pleasant.

My favorite place to visit whenever I am closed the City of Cerritos. Cafe 86 sell the most delicious Ube drinks, snacks pasties. One of my favorite is the their Ube Upside Down, Halo Halo. Service is superb and friendly. Sitting area was perfectly setup for short stop snacking... very casual inviting setting. Perfect for everyone to sit, relax and enjoy ube halo halo

We were in the area and decided to stop by. We ordered the ube cake, ube ice cream and halo halo. Honestly the cake was super sweet, I knew it would be but it was sweeter than I expected. The ice cream was really good, I enjoyed it. My fiancé ordered the halo halo and he loved it. He said it was really good, nothing was overpowering. Staff was also kind and helpful. We weren't able to sit inside though because space was limited.

I visited Cafe 86 after being told that another Cafe 86 had some of the best and most authentic halo halo out here. The store itself is small and well-designed like a cool place to grab some drinks and desserts with a group of friends. The person working there was nice and made our halo halo quickly and well. Unfortunately, the halo halo was not very authentic and was very brown sugar heavy. I thought it was just ok.

The ube latte is a nice drink and very trendy, but theirs is definitely more on the sweet side with NO coffee at all. In fact calling it a 'latte' is a bit of a stretch when it's just ube syrup and milk, but if you want just milk, it's fine.

Perfect dessert place. They have so many things to choose from, you'll have a hard time deciding. Love their upside down halo halo, it's so refreshing. Love that they don't skimp on the ingredients. That's what truly makes it special.

Ube scoop. 6/1/25

First time visiting Cafe 86 with family for dessert! It's a tiny Cafe serving Filipino flavored desserts, coffee, teas, smoothies, and sandwiches. On a Sunday afternoon post lunch, there were just a few customers present. Our party of 5 was fortunate to get seats together. The turon pop tart caught my attention but I decided on something familiar which was a scoop of ube ice cream. Smooth, creamy and delicious! Fam members that got the same thing agreed. My cousin did get the turon pop tart but thought it's just okay. The gal at the counter that took our order was pleasant. There are brick walls and some Star Wars decor. The disability parking spaces were not close by in the plaza and already occupied. We managed okay parking in a regular spot that was next to a delivery/pickup spot that was clear. As far as regular parking spots, there were many on a Sunday afternoon. The plaza has a Market, a bakery, a restaurant, and shops nearby. I found out there is actually another Cafe 86 closer to me. This is a Cafe that I would introduce out of town family members to. 4 stars!

Great overload of ube this place is great if you Ube. They have a great version of Halo Halo. And a upside down version of it such is my favorite. They have many Filipino deserts. From drinks to baked goods. It's a cozy place inside and ever so often Jokoy comes in. And he has done some meetups But besides that the desserts are amazing. It is always a bit busy. But they work fast. Fair warning. Don't come here if you are on a diet. This place will wreck you it's so delicious. You will be back soon. It's a great place to go to after dinner. And they have a couch if you need to sit.

This establishment is small but clean and welcoming. Staff are excellent...very helpful with recommendations. This is a Filipino infusion of desserts and drinks (specifically ube). They're well known for their upside down halo-halo. A must try.

I loved the Ube monster milkshake. This place has a lot of great drinks and desserts.

Came here last Sunday for dessert after lunch at Daniela's to introduce my long-lost pinay friend to Cafe 86. I have posted reviews for the other locations in Chino and Tustin, I really love this place. Cafe 86 specializes in Ube, and they do it exceptionally well. The vibrant purple color is just as appealing as the taste. If you're looking for unique and delicious Filipino-inspired treats, especially those featuring ube, this is definitely the spot to check out. My faves are the Ube Butter Bar, Ube Truffle and Ube Leche Flan Cupcake. I've also tried and recommend the Ube Latte for those who prefer no caffeine. It was a perfect day to try their signature Halo Halo and it did not disappoint. I even love the frosted flakes in it (instead of pinipig) and all the ingredients that came with it. Authentic!

Pastry options

I've been coming to this location for years. Parking is always tight as they share it with multiple businesses but I just love coming to support Cafe 86 and the Luisa and Son's bakery next door. Everyone is usually really friendly here but the drinks are always on point and you're able to make modifications. Ube everything pastries are located here. The pastries actually taste like the ube it claims in their titles haha. Their ube leche flan cupcakes are one of their most popular- but my personal top two favorites are the ube butter bar, ube truffles and the ube cheesecake. I have yet to give their pop tarts a try. They also have a few non ube treats like Milo (chocolate) cupcake and a mais (corn) bar. Their halo halo upside down is one of my favorites on a hot summer day and if I have a sweet tooth on a particular day I will ask to top it with ube ice cream for an ube overload haha. They have two tables that are a four top- and two stool tables against the windows that hold three people. Two additional couches on the side for casual catch up or solo dates. Seating is tight here so I can't necessarily say it's a good study spot but I'd say it's an option since they do have wifi. Bathroom is a hit or miss at this location as they're usually busy and don't upkeep it.

See all

The ice to drink ratio is great! Extra half point for it looking aesthetically pleasing, but other than that, I wouldn't order it again. Service: 8/10 Everyone is super nice and easy to talk to! Ordering was easy and drink came out in 5-10mins, and they were quite busy when I walked in. Ambiance: 8/10 It's definitely a small space, but they make it work! I think the interior looks great and is very functional in terms of walking room. There's a really good balance of natural and artificial lighting. Nothing is overwhelming or super intense. Music was a bit loud for me personally. There are outlets here and there and the restroom was pretty clean. Parking lot is medium sized, and I had no issues finding a spot. There's indoor and shaded outdoor seating. Pretty good study spot overall. TDLR: Good study spot for individuals or pairs. Corn matcha is super mid. Clean restrooms, good lighting, easy parking, but music can be a bit loud. Rated 4 stars because of the drink. Willing to come back if a friend wanted to go, but wouldn't come back by myself.

Upon walking in I noticed the amount of tables they had! Definitely seems like a great study/hang out spot. They have a great selection of drinks and they also have some food items. They had 1 employee when we arrived & even though she was busy, she still greeted us kindly & with a smile! I tried the peel me a latte with oat milk which was so good and the foam tasted like real banana, not artificial. The only thing I wish is if it was a bit less sweet. Not sure if you can add an extra shot or less sweetness but regardless, one of the best banana lattes I've tried!

Decided to give it a try again, and it did not disappoint. The barista was kind enough to recommend his favorites and let me know that the uji tea cream top was similar to a hojicha latte. I tried it and loved it because it had a nice, sweet and nutty flavor. My mom tried the matcha meadow, and we both liked how light the lavender taste was. The lavender did not overpower the matcha. I also really like cafes that do house-made syrups, so this was a plus! While waiting for our drinks, I noticed there was a lot of seating and it seemed pretty quiet. This seems like a good study spot for those that want to focus without the hustle and bustle of a busy cafe. Keep in mind though, I did come on a weekday afternoon. The only downside I would say is that the price is pretty steep for a small cup of matcha/tea-- at $7.50 for a cup that looks smaller than a 16 oz. The flavor is there, but the price for an upsize would be an additional $1.25 equal to around $9 for a cup of coffee/matcha/tea. I do want to try the ferrero rocher latte and the crème bru-latte, so I may be back despite the price point.
