Absolutely Delicious - A Must-Visit for Ube Lovers! ​Even though we recently moved away from Chino Hills to Henderson, NV, Cafe 86 remains one of our absolute favorite spots that we miss the most! Every time we visited, it was a guaranteed hit for the whole family. ​On our last go-around, we loaded up on our favorites, and as always, they did not disappoint: ​Ube Tres Leches: The undisputed star of the show. It is incredibly moist, perfectly sweet, and has the most amazing, rich ube flavor. You cannot leave without trying this! ​Halo Halo: Packed with all the traditional goodies and so refreshing. It's the BOMB. ​Ube Truffles: Bite-sized perfection. Rich, fudgy, and the ultimate little treat to take home (if they even make it to the car). ​Jasmine Milk Tea & Sea Salt Coffee: The perfect drink pairings. The jasmine milk tea is wonderfully fragrant and refreshing, while the sea salt coffee hits that perfect balance of bold, savory, and sweet. ​The atmosphere is always welcoming, and it's just the best place to treat the kids or catch up with friends. Chino Hills is so lucky to have this gem. If you haven't been yet, go change that immediately! read more

Cafe 86 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chino Hills, California

My husband and I came here today for the first time. I had "The Rosie" (milk tea with rose water syrup) and he had a regular jasmine iced tea. Both were good. I love the taste of rose water so I would probably ask them to add a little more of that the next time, but I could still taste it. Super friendly staff and easy parking. read more

If you like ube you came to the right spot. The last time I came to one of these franchise is in San Diego and they are super good. I'll be in sugar high today. But a good kind. place is cute small but has seatings. Staff here are nice and friendly. Place is nice and clean. Good for college students or people who want to do work. It's like mini Starbucks but better. come and check it out. Now check my reviews about the beautiful pasties and drinks. read more

Their drinks are consistently good and the sizes are generous. They also have daily $3 deals for a large drink, which is such a great value. I come here about once a week whenever I'm craving milk tea or iced coffee. Ordering through the kiosk is quick and easy, and the drinks usually come out really fast. My only complaint is that they don't open until 12:30 on weekdays -- sometimes I need my caffeine fix much earlier! read more

7/19/25 Okay, halo-halo was calling me all week, today's your lucky day, I responded! Sydney is so sweet & helpful while taking my order. She made my special treats too, with a smile. I ordered a regular halo-halo (and unknowingly the owner said, to try the upside down halo-halo wink-wink) and being greedy, ordered the Ube matcha latte too. I was eyeing the Ube leche flan cupcakes then my eyes wandered to one fun, Ube crack cheesecake. I need to be blindfolded next time. lol. This shop is somewhat lost in a nondescript little strip of businesses but inside is cute with nice aesthetics, a few tables, chairs & some comfy couches to enjoy your sweets. The regular halo-halo was so so good! Totally hit the spot, love the crunch of the cornflakes (of course it's not the same as pinipig which is toasted smashed rice, if you grew up in the Philippines, you will get it), all the wonderful ingredients like boba, kaong (don't ask me translate coz I don't know)... etc, oh and the Ube ice cream! Get yours!!! read more

Came here after a long hike. Their drinks were refreshing. I got a coffee but I can't remember which one it was but it was delicious! The store gave off more relaxed and chill vibes lol the cashier was amazing and answered all the questions we had. I don't think I've had such great service at a cafe before. Would come back again~ read more

Power tip: first time here. Nice atmosphere and friendly service. Tried the halo halo for the first time--pretty neat, but a lot of things going on at the top. The all-day $3 drink specials are pretty nice. read more

Cafe 86 - Thai iced tea is one of the $3 specials! Sweet (literally) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Was in the area house shopping. I was delighted that there was cafe 86 nearby. I didn't know the Chino shop relocated to here until I arrived. I have good memories of the Chino location. I ordered my usual Rosie milk tea. It tasted different from the Chino and Cerritos location, but it wasn't bad. Workers were friendly. If I lived in the area, it would definitely be my study spot but the hours are not the greatest. No early bird nor late night study sessions here. It doesn't open until 1230pm and closes at 7pm most days! Yikes. Wish they had better business hours. read more

First time coming here. I ordered the Uber latte and their Uber cheesecake and Uber flan. Both desserts were very rich. The Uber flan was over a mini Ube cupcake. The flan itself was not flavored though. They were both good to try but a little too sweet for me The Uber latte was freaking amazing though! I really enjoyed that. I came and they were about to close in about 30 minutes so there was only one other person there. Very small but cute shop tucked away in a little mini center with other businesses. read more

Known for their ube drinks and ube desserts, I asked if they had anything chocolate wise so this is what I got, the Milo Cupcake. Soooo good and not too overly sweet either. Same with the Hibiscus Calamansi drink. Very refreshing and not overly sweet as well! Love this place! Service is always great here! The ambiance is very chill. read more

Awesome everything! Desserts, drinks, service is excellent here. Welcoming and friendly informative. You can order at the kiosk or at the register. Plenty to choose from and able to accommodate special requests for allergies. Ya that's me. Lovely inside seating and lounge area to sit and sip a while. Bar height seating or low top tables. Parking right in front with easy access. read more

I love Ube, so this place is heaven for me. There has not been a treat or drink that I have not enjoyed from here. The staff is always so friendly, even when they have a rush, and they are so quick! I wish we had a cafe 86 in Corona so I could get my ube fix more often! read more

I've tried 3 things and the top drink is the upside down halo halo Matcha milkshake I got without the cookie crumbles and it was okay. Not bad. The mais con Yelo was not as expected. Considered more of a savory drink. The vanilla base was very light. Not sweet like the halo halo. The corn is good. Maybe if you mix it, it tastes better. Still didn't work for us. Upside down halo halo is very good. What I expected, maybe more. My husband said he didn't want a drink and would maybe take a bite of the ice cream. He ended up finishing half my drink. The jack fruit was very minimal. The staff was really kind and helpful which led me to write this review. The place is cute. Restroom available to customers. Ample parking. Came back here the next day after trying it the first time. Definitely my go to when I'm craving sweets. read more

Cafe 86 (Chino Hills) evoked immediate happiness. The Upside Down Halo Halo caused an audible gasp as its addicting, sweet flavor pummeled into me. It's one of the best ube (aka: sweet purple yam) desserts that I have ever tasted. Cafe 86 (Chino Hills) sells devastatingly delicious ube drinks. The Upside Down Halo Halo ($10.50) is unique and delicious. I waited seven minutes. I arrived on a weekday (around 3:00PM). Unlike ordinary Halo Halos, this beverage is more reminiscent of a shake with add-ons. Instead of crushed ice, the drink flows like thick, velvety ube milk. It includes silky ice cream; light, crunchy flakes; heavy, deep flan; and bouncy, bottom toppings. It's a myriad of prominent, complimentary flavors and textures. Cafe 86 (Chino Hills) displayed a charming, faux-rustic ambiance. The brick walls and hanging lanterns are pleasant and attractive. It's clean and well-ventilated. The location included free wifi with password and electrical sockets for devices. Its music is soft. Customers order from counter or self-service kiosk. Overall, Cafe 86 (Chino Hills) considerably impressed me. The Upside Down Halo Halo is memorable, unique, and exquisite. If you love ube, I whole heartedly recommend. 5/5 read more

I have loved Cafe 86 for years. From high school to now, the quality has stayed amazing. The regular halo halo and upside down halo halo are always the best treats on a hot summer day. I love anything ube, so I like the upside down halo halo more. Their pastries are also phenomenal from the ube crack cheesecake to the cupcakes. You really can't go wrong with any of the food products. They also have drinks, milkshakes and coffee. They moved to a bigger location in Chino Hills and definitely can be a good place to get some work done with some good drinks and sweets. If you haven't be here, you're truly missing out! They have other locations so definitely look for the one closest to you! read more

I was looking for a refreshing beverage after my hike and knew I could count on Cafe 86. Loved my calamansi juice & mais con yelo dessert bar. Both so delicious and lovely familiar filipino flavors I love. Interior is spacious, clean, and cute. Service is so very friendly. Highly recommend! They also have locations in Cerritos and Carson if Chino Hills is out of your way. read more

How did I not know about this place?! Ube heaven! Or like their logo says, Ube nerd lol. If you love Ube, you must try this place. We bought the sampler pack that includes 4 desserts and Hibiscus Calamansi drink for only $20. The iced Ube matcha is fresh and delicious! Plenty of space to sit and enjoy with friends. The workers are friendly and helpful with ordering. As my daughter said, this place is dangerous! Will be back often. read more

Cafe 86 - Caramel latte, mini halo halo, Mais con yelo bar, ube cashew brownie - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Went to this location a few months ago. My daughter wanted to food hop in Chino Hills for her birthday. Cafe 86 is a dream and is an Ube Lover's Paradise!! This shop is a little small but has a few seating areas as well as sofas and a shelf w various board games. We got the ube flan cupcakes, ube butter bars, ube truffle, ube cheesecake, ube tres leches, ube Latte, ube monster milkshake, and ube upside down halo halo. All were yummy delicious. My favorite was the ube tres leches: not too sweet, the leches had very good ube flavor and the cashew sprinkles gave it a hint of nutty flavor. I recommend you visit this place if you like ube!! read more

First time at this current location. Same pleasant atmosphere. Fast friendly assistance. Love all their creative Ube inspired treats. Trying the Ube Truffle & Mais Con Yelo Halo Halo today. The truffle is divine! The Mais Con Yelo is a great mix of delicious flavors that complement one another nicely. read more

Cafe 86 - Ube Truffle; Mais Con Yelo Halo Halo (Sweet Creamed Corn + Vanilla Base + Frosted Flakes Flan + Magnolia Ube Ice Cream) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chino Hills, California

This place is pretty good! I've never been to a Filipino cafe before. Drinks/snacks: 4/5 The drinks and snacks were really really sweet. The drinks were really good the first ten sips, but it became too sweet. The ube truffle was light and fluffy, like a really moist brownie. The flan was also delicious and silky smooth. Their drinks are too sweet for my liking. They were blended, topped with boba, cereal, and ice cream. I would definitely get one to share. Ambiance: 5/5 This cafe is a little hidden gem. It was quaint and great for studying or a little coffee date. They have a cute little sitting area that has a New York exposed brick atheistic. Service: 5/5 The service was pretty quick. You can order through an iPad too. read more

They will not let you buy if you pay them with $100 bill. You have the money but unfortunately they wont accept it because they might ran out of change. THEY ONLY ACCEPT YOUR BUSINESS WHEN ITS CONVENIENT FOR THEM. This place is a joke! Why not go to the bank and get more CHANGE! What a lazy excuse for lazy people!!!! Having change is a business owner's responsibility! I came all the way from OC only to refuse my payment because they MIGHT RUN OUT OF CHANGE!!!! When did a business refused an order when you can pay BUT THEY MIGHT RUN OUT OF CHANGE! read more

UBE NERDS UNITE!!! My Fams... we LOVE Cafe 86!!! The many times we've visited their various sites, the quality always is top notch! For instance, just now Allianna (Our order taker... that gurl is da SWEETEST!) asks if we wanna wait for fresh boba to finish cooking! See?!? High standards ALL DAY! Yelp directions are on point for this Chino Hills location. Their Storefront sign is really hard to see, unfortunately. Look for the "Giovanni's" sign and then you'll see the Cafe 86 sign underneath. It's located in the strip mall wing that doesn't face the street. Inside has a chill atmosphere. They were rockin' 90's R & B tunes overhead so mos' definitely thee best kind of vibe you could create! Drinks and baked goods are "the thing" here, with Ube, being the emphasis in A LOT of creations here. Up front, I am STRAIGHT UP, an UBE SNOB! So if you give us some watered down weak sauce, it's a guaranteed no return for you! Cafe 86 BRINGS IT STRONG! Let's get to slurpin' & munchin'!!! UPSIDE DOWN HALO HALO: THIS version here is MY FAVORITE halo halo option in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!! It's a MUST have, for me, whenever we visit. The reason I prefer this over the traditional halo halo version is because they don't use Filipino dessert beans in the "mix-mix" portion and no chunky ice particles to break your teeth with. Instead is a thick & creamy Ube shake topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a yummy piece of Filipino Leche Flan, and Frosted Flakes. On the bottom is various kinds of jellies and slivers of jackfruit... Oh SOOO YUMMY!!! UBE MONSTER MILKSHAKE: You don't want the extra stuff found on the Upside Down Halo Halo and just want the Ube shake? Then this is YOUR JAM! My Pinay mother-in-law LOVES this. She loves the authenticity of the flavor and creaminess of the drink. If you wanna keep her your favorite Son-In-Law, this drink will keep you in high regard lol! COOKIE BUTTER MILKSHAKE: My baby describes this as "decadent!" Biscoff flavor is not subtle at all, definitely makes it presence felt with every slurp. This doesn't last long enough for me to get a second go at it after I finish my Halo Halo. UBE LECHE FLAN CUPCAKE: I do REALLY enjoy their Leche Flan version here. Perfectly dense, not excessively sweet, and the texture is spot on. And it's no timid piece either. The Flan completely overwhelms the cupcake top AND I LOVE IT!!! Add it to this soft, moist, & flavorful Ube Cupcake. HOLAY MOLE-LAY!!! Thee best cupcake to satisfy the sweet tooth! :) VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! Nom Nom level is EXCEPTIONALLY High! Definitely worth a trip inside to sample their creations! Enjoy! read more

The ube monster milkshake and house milk tea with boba are my favorite. The staff is also super nice!

We've been returning customers since they opened their first restaurant in Chino. Ube truffles are the best! I've tried several of their teas but nothing I wanted to buy again. Their ube latte had a hint of ube flavor but mostly milk. They are usually busy from all the times we've been here and the service is okay. They're not mean but not welcoming either but I'm sure it's because of how busy they are. The ube flan cupcakes, milo cupcake, and ube butter bars are other items you'll want to try. They're prices have gone up SIGNIFICANTLY which is why we cannot eat here often like we used to. read more

I tried the Halo Halo for the first time, when I showed up the place was empty, so the service was quick. The flan was not too sweet and the ube tasted toasty. If you are a fan of ube this place is for you. There is enough room for a group of 4 to hangout. read more

It was a raining day coming back from gun range fun with consins. Love this cafe but I don't come here often enough because it's too far from my area.

Here are the drinks we got: Halo -Halo Hibiscus calamansi Ube milk tea Ube monster Ube tres leches read more

Came in for the first time yesterday and ordered the cookie butter iced latte. I was so excited to try this place out. Took me a while to find it because the business next door has a huge letter marquee outside over there's. The service was quick. The girls were nice. Parking lot had plenty of space. Cute little atmosphere. Drink was ready right away. Had my first sip once I got in the car. To be honest. I wasn't impressed. Had a small hint of cookie butter flavor. If and when I do go back, I will try something else. read more

Cute little Filipino cafe in Chino Hills. Came in with a friend for an ube craving. Inside is simple and lightly decorated. There's a few tables and even a little couch area. It's a good place for small groups. We got the ube milk tea, ube tres leches cake, and ube flan cupcake. So good! And not too sweet. My fav of the two was probably the ube tres leches since it's a little lighter. They also have iced teas and slushes if you're looking for some lighter drinks. Will definitely be coming back for more, especially their halo halo and ube ice cream sandwiches. Service was good. Friendly staff. Easy parking in the shopping center. read more

Wednesday May 7, 2025 Ambiance. Upon arriving to the location, I was able to find parking nearby. Since they do share the area with other businesses you may have to find parking that's not necessarily in front of the establishment. Upon entering, the location, they have chill vibe to the place. It can sit about 15-25 people give or take. This would be an ideal spot for studying or having a small business meeting as it not too loud. When entering, you could opt in to using an upright standing kiosk to place your order or speak to one of the hosts who would be happy to help you. Next to the register are the different and delectable types of desserts they have to offer as well as two big screens displaying what they have on their menu. I was also able to check out their restroom and it looked clean and well maintained as did their establishment as a whole. In the establishment, they have free WiFi and complimentary water as well that you could enjoy. Service: Today I was serviced by Jesse. He gave his service with a smile and was knowledgeable about the menu and what they had to offer. I told him I was looking for an Ube blended type of drink and he offered to have me try the Ube Monster Milkshake. I also opted in to get an Ube dessert and asked to him to give me the Ube butter bar. He serviced me courteously and with a positive attitude. Well done! Food: Once again, I was able to get the Ube Monster Milkshake and the Ube Butter Bar. I normally like to get these drinks with almond milk and was happy to hear that they had this as an option. The milkshake was light in taste and to my delight, had Oreo crumbles on the top and bottom of the drink. Additionally, I ordered the Ube Butter Bar. The taste is also light where both the top and bottom portion of the bar compliment each other quite nicely. The bottom portion is of a cookie like nature while the top Ube portion is of a cream cheese esque type of feel. Both tasted quite pleasant. I look forward to trying the other desserts they have in the near future. Overall, I would definitely check this place out again and hope that you do as well. I love supporting small businesses and this one is doing a great job. Thank you Café 86! read more

First off customer service is on point. David was really helpful finding which drink would suit best since it was my first time.

Definitely recommend. read more

What's up: It was a hot day and we were looking to grab some boba to cool off and recharge on some sugar. After a quick search, we saw that Cafe 86 was nearby so we came here to grab some ube! Yum! Parking: Located in a strip mall, parking was pretty decent and is shared among the nearby businesses. Environment: Walking in, you'll see the menu displayed on the monitors to the right of the order counter. We placed our orders and had a short wait before our names were called. The restroom is located towards the back of the building and there's even a free little library back there. A handful of tables to sit at, counter seating is available, and there's even a cozy couch area. What was ordered: - Ube Monster with Boba (yummy ube with soft chewy boba) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The ube was good and definitely hit the spot. Staff members were friendly. Credit cards are accepted. read more

First time at their new location. It's somewhat hidden, compared to their old location, and my grumpy husband circled the shopping center a couple times before we found it lol. This location is much bigger, with more seating areas (counter/bar seats near the entrance as well as table seating along the side of the cafe). I arrived about 20 minutes before closing and was greeted by both employees. I opted for 3 halo-halos and a peach mango green tea. I was able to customize the halo halo to my sister's liking (no boba, jackfruit or nata) without any problem. The halo halo was as sweet and as delicious as I remembered. My husband absolutely loved his iced tea, and was no longer grumpy after taking a few sips. Will be back again for a halo halo fix read more
