This is the first time coming to this cafe and it did not disappoint. I was intrigued by the $2 special for alot of the teas today. I ended up getting the Green Rose tea with sea salt foam that was lightly sweetened. It was really good. The staff was very friendly and the place was clean. I will definitely be back to try other drinks. read more

I walk by this cafe all the time in the mall but decided to try it on a busy Saturday afternoon when we needed dessert. We had the upside down halo halo and it was so creative and good. I didn't realize this is a Filipino place but that makes it evtter. The upside down halo halo was delicious and not too sweet. The ingredients came together nicely for the perfect, huge dessert. There is some seating in and around the cafe but if a lot of people are there, it is kind of limited. The staff is nice and patient as you peruse the many options on their menu. I will be back to try more of their menu items. read more

Came in the galleria, and needed something refreshing. The two staff remembers behind the counter were nice and gave good recommendations. My wife ordered some kind of green tea drink she really enjoyed it, had a syrup and some kind of sea salt foam. I ordered the mahalo mango, it had a really nice taste to it not sweet, not too tart really refreshing. We'd definitely come back again to try other stuff. They have bakery items and a few places to sit around the entrance. read more

​Cafe 86, where have you been all my life? I cannot express my newfound love for this place enough! ​I am a self-proclaimed latte snob, and let me tell you, every other coffee shop (yes, even Starbucks) doesn't even come close to the quality I found here. ​The Seasonal Sensation: ​I ordered their seasonal Pumpkin Spice Ube Latte, and my taste buds were absolutely popping! I have never tasted anything like it. The balance was perfect--it wasn't overly sweet, but it wasn't sour either. It was a perfectly crafted drink that I could easily become addicted to. ​A Note of Sadness: This incredible drink was only seasonal, and the last day to get it was November 30th. I'm already counting down the days until next fall! ​Beyond the Latte ​While Cafe 86 is famous for its ube treats and drinks (and though I'm usually not a fan, both the latte and the ube cookies I tried were absolutely phenomenal), their menu is extensive. They offer a great variety, including: ​Halo-Halo ​Milk Shakes and Milk Teas ​Coolers, Slush, and Affogato ​A full Espresso Bar and other unique lattes ​Baked goods and sandwiches ​ Location & Service ​You can find this gem conveniently located inside the Glendale Galleria, right next to Dick's Sporting Goods. They also have several other locations throughout California and Arizona. ​The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. If you're unsure what to order from their diverse menu, don't hesitate to ask them--they are happy to offer excellent recommendations! ​I will definitely be back. Cafe 86 is a must-try for anyone looking for a unique and high-quality treat! read more

Cafe 86 - Pumpkin Spice ube latte! Me love! - Desserts Near Me - Glendale, California

This coffee shop is located in Glendale Galleria close to Bloomingdale's. They have a variety of coffee/ tea drinks and limited pastries items. They have a limited seating area. There are only several tables. They were all occupied so I took my order to go. I ordered an iced coffee and regular coffee. Coffee was good no complaints. Service was friendly. Lady who took my order was friendly. She explained the menu items and made suggestions on what to order. Parking is free since it is located in the mall. read more

Located in the mall, it's a small shop but still quite busy. On a weekend late afternoon, the foot traffic comes and goes so the tables can be all filled one moment and completely empty the next. Got their Strawberry Calamansi Cooler. - Strawberry Calamansi: So light and refreshing on a sunny day! It's very reminiscent of a strawberry lemonade but less tart and not overly sweet like a lot of lemonades. I found the calamansi to be a little too light for me, but that's just preference. Overall, it's a good place to consider when you're browsing in the mall. The prices were relatively average, drinks seemed solid, and service was nice. The Halo Halo looked so good when I was passing by the parties who had it, so I would like to try that whenever I'm back in the area. read more

Cafe 86 - Strawberry Calamansi Cooler - Desserts Near Me - Glendale, California

I absolutely love cafe 86! And I didn't know it was here in the Galleria of Glendale. While I was waiting for my date last Sunday I had the amazing ube flan and a latte. Delightful as usual! We also had a cooler each after wandering around the mall. I had the calamansi and boss lady had the drangonberry calamansi, both super refreshing and not too sweet, just what we needed. The girlies working here are as sweet as everything they have! Next to Dick's Sporting Goods. I LOVE that they have plenty of seating, so that's a plus. I'll be back! read more

I wish I could have bought everything on the menu, but alas I only got the upside down halo halo which was INCREDIBLE! The flan, ice creams, jelly and boba were sooo yummy! It's a very small spot, and it's in a corner so easy to miss, but service was friendly and efficient. My friend got rhe caramel latte which she said was one of the best she's had. Can't wait to come back and try more drinks and pastries! read more

I love Cafe 86 & it's been my first time at this location. They have tables the store I had the turon pop tart, mais con yelo bar and ube bar. I also love their goodies here as they never disappoint and I love the flavors too. My personal favorite here is anything ube. read more

I have to honest, the foods are not too different in taste compare to any of the other Filipino bakeries or shops and it is too pricey. At least, I tried it. In addition, they are not using real ube; it's powder with sugary ingredients and/or food coloring. Although, I have to say, the employees are amazingly friendly and very helpful. So, a "no" for me. Thank you. read more

Sadly, our grilled cheese sandwich had a hair in it. We discovered it at home so couldn't bring it to their attention while at the store. Hope those prepping food can wear a cap or hairnet. I did really enjoy their hibiscus calamansi drink though! read more

ScrrreeeeeeAm I can't believe I finally made it up here to savor this amazing Ube Truffle. Tasted this jewel of a dessert one month ago and couldn't get it out of my mind. This is a medium sweet grainy ube (sweet potato flavored) delight which just melts in your mouth like powdered sugar. Gosh I really don't know how to describe it to you guys out there. But please try it! read more

I was excited to hear that a Cafe 86 opened up in Glendale. I was so sad when the Pasadena one closed. I LOVE their Ube Leche Flan cupcakes. The location is small compared to the other ones but it's because it is in the mall. I was disappointed because they were sold out of the ube leche flan cupcakes today. But ended up getting a ube pop tart, ube cheesecake and butter bar. The poptart was perfect amount of ube flavor and wasn't super sweet. My daughter loved it and finished it. She loved it. The ube latte was a little too milky. The ube flavor was barely there. It tasted like milk with a splash a ube. Think the other drinks would be better to try. If you are shopping and in Glendale Galleria already this place is definitely worth a try and perfect for dessert. read more

I wish I could like this place as much as others do, but with overpriced drinks higher than Starbucks and an iced Americano that was so bland it tasted like water, it's hard to justify coming back to try other items. While I did appreciate the diverse menu with plenty of options to explore in the future and found the staff to be friendly, the coffee itself just didn't deliver. I left feeling like I didn't get my caffeine fix, and given the high prices in this economy, this spot is a pass for me. read more

During my visit, I ordered their strawberry calamansi cooler. It was delicious but it was too sweet. I really like that I was able to taste the calamansi juice. Staff are welcoming and helpful. The cafe has a good amount of tables and chairs. They don't have wifi but their neighbors do. I needed to do some work and borrowing wifi worked. I'll definitely give this place another try. They have other calamansi coolers that look delicious. Hopefully I can lessen the sweetener next time. read more

This is my first time being in Glendale location. I've tried the Northridge location and their desserts before like the Halo halo. Definitely not my thing. It had cereal and I felt like I was just eating Frosted Flakes lol. Other people seem to like the Halo Halo but I prefer more traditional Halo Halo. So maybe its just me. The Ube truffle though is pretty tasty. You taste the ube and that first bite is so good! It is rich so I can only handle one. This time though, I tried the Sandwiches. They're so good! The Pastrami sandwich was pressed and the crust was nice and crispy. Saviory but a bit more on the sweet side. The Turkey Pesto sandwich is where its at though. Pressed as well and saviory how I like it. And the pesto really shines. Definitely recommend. It was also my first time trying the pop tarts. The Pop tart ube is fire! The Pop tart turon is really good too but I do prefer ube. I think the texture and consistency goes well together. Flakey and warm (if requested). I also tried the Ube Latte. It does not have caffeine but you can add espresso for extra. I opted for no caffiene even though I prefer coffee. Maybe if the prices were lower I would have. Cafe 86 is a bit pricey so just know that when visiting. The staff was very nice. There are a few tables but they do well with the space they have. And its nicely set up and decorated. nice spot to have a snack or sandwich! read more

So glad that cafe 86 has a location now in Glendale. This is a small location, but I assume that it gets a lot of foot traffic since it's at the mall. By the time I got there, there wasn't much to choose from. Food and drinks still tasty. read more

Cafe 86 - Ube Leche Flan Cupcake - Desserts Near Me - Glendale, California

New cafe located at the eastern side of the mall. I've been to their Pasadena (when it was still around) and Little Tokyo location. The seating in this location was very limited. Prices are also very high for a very small pastry. I also feel that the ube isn't dense enough. Service was standard. For the price, I expect better presentation of the product. For example, I wouldn't expect pastries to be stacked on top of each other. I think that would ruin the quality over time (if you don't plan to eat it immediately). If ube is a novelty and prices are not a problem, I would recommend the place as a good starting point. read more

Cafe 86 - Ube Crinkle (Top) & Ube Butter Bar (Bottom) - Desserts Near Me - Glendale, California

My boyfriend and I were strolling around the Glendale Galleria and came across Café 86. I have been to their other locations and loved it so I knew I had to stop in for some treats. I ordered a Halo Halo ($9.75) and a Turon Pop Tart ($5.25). Service was courteous and friendly. They offered to warm up my pop tart but we weren't eating it immediately, so I declined the offer. They had a lot of seating so we started off with the halo halo. Their version of the halo halo has coconut jellies, jack fruit, boba, frosted flakes, ube ice cream and a mini flan. Yumm! My boyfriend really enjoyed the ube ice cream on top while I worked a little harder to dig for the jellies and jack fruit on the bottom. That perfect bite of everything. We had the turon pop tart the next day, warmed up. The crust was tasty and buttery and the inside has a nice banana caramel taste. Digging it! Everything was delicious! My only regret was not buying more but some of the other items I wanted were too perishable for the moment. Until next time! read more

This location was a bit hard to find as we aren't locals. Parking was a bit of a distance to and from but we made it. It's a cute little cafe, located in the Galleria. I've visited the sister shop in Artesia so was glad that there's another cafe when visiting the area. There's tons of sweets!! Too much sweets but sooo good! We had a family function so we wanted to try a bit of this and that and our family was NOT disappointed that we came through! Service was friendly and had patience for our overloaded mind of goodies on menu and in the bakery area. Will def return in the future to try more goodies. read more

Ambiance is great for a mall location Baked goods is good too Service - the cashier was not friendly Also their menu for drinks they won't allow For any customization or edits of any kind even though other cafe 86 stores can do it this location can't add pudding in a milk slush the wait is long and the whole time they are talking while making order so I'm not sure if that is why it takes so long for order to complete read more

Mabuhay! Cafe 86 is the new Glendale craze! It is located beside Dick's sporting goods, you can park along Central Avenue for free parking and follow Dick's arrow (I am too specific here). We were here on a laid-back weekday at 1 pm-ish to check out this place that I heard always have a lot of people. Voila! The time we chose was perfect, no line but there were people already dining in. We ordered Halo Halo upside down and Ube Monster Milkshake (following our server's advice as their best seller) and yes they are both good as a dessert! Before we ordered we asked if the sweetness level could be adjusted because we are sugar-conscious people but they cannot make modifications. I want to be honest, Halo-halo for me is too sweet, I should have asked to not put ice cream on top but the Ube monster is PERFECT. Price-wise $$$ - a little too expensive but HELLO, they are inside the mall and provide a nice and safe ambiance to stay in while you enjoy your drink! so yes, we would be back again and try another flavor they offer! Enjoy my shared pics! read more

My friend recommended Cafe 86 because I wanted to try local Filipino desserts. It's a hidden gem in the Glendale Galleria. When we stopped by on Tuesday afternoon, it wasn't very busy and we didn't wait long to order. The staff was friendly and after getting our food, we found a table. This place's a casual spot to hang out and enjoy some treats in the middle of the busyness of the mall. I ordered the Ube Latte, Ube Monster Truffle, and Ube Butter Bar. I got the Ube Latte at 50% sweetness, which was a good call. The drink wasn't caffeinated and the consistency was more milky with a light ube flavor. I'm unsure if I'd get it again, but might try the Halo Halo next time because my friend enjoyed hers. The Ube Monster Truffle was super decadent and had a nice, crunchy exterior from the cookie crumble. The Ube Butter Bar was very buttery and crumbly, and had a richer ube flavor than the latte, but not as strong as the truffle. Out of all the items that I ordered, I'd get the truffle again. Among the typical mall food, Cafe 86's menu is quite extensive and unique with drinks and sweets. I'll definitely come back and try more in the future! read more

Finally got a chance to come back here and it's definitely not as crowded as it was when it was in soft opening. Only waited about 3 minutes to get my drinks + pastries. Drinks were still as good as ever, a bit sweet but tasty. I got the matcha latte this time and it really hit. A bit of caffeine with a perfect blend of milk and matcha flavor. Also got the ube monster again which is almost like a dessert. Both good, a bit pricey but still very good. read more

This place was pretty busy for a Sunday afternoon! We did wait a little, but not too long and the service was nice. The line was long, and the ambiance was loud but loud in a lively way. Expected nothing less from a mall. We ordered the ube leche flan cupcake, the ube monster milkshake, and the strawberry calamansi cooler! The cupcake was delicious. Flan was good and the cupcake was dense but in a good way. I think it was decadent for an ube flan cupcake. and I wish they had a big cake version of this. The ube monster milkshake was familiar to taro rather than ube? Maybe my tastebuds were weird but me and my partner both agreed on that note. Either way, I thought it was delicious and sweet. A nice cold shake to satisfy those sweet tooth's out there. The strawberry calamansi was so unique and so delicious. It was refreshing and I can't wait to try a hibiscus calamansi drink next time I visit! read more

UBE, UBE, UBE!!! What's not to love about this awesome spot? Café 86 is a paradise for ube fans--the range of ube desserts is incredible, from cupcakes and ice cream to creative drinks and baked treats. The endless boba options are perfect if you're in the mood for something fun and refreshing. My kiddos absolutely loved the cool toys and the super chill atmosphere here. There's a cozy vibe that makes it great for hanging out and enjoying sweet treats together. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and service was quick even during busy times. If you're looking for a spot that celebrates fun flavors and delivers on Filipino-inspired desserts with creative drinks, Cafe 86 is a must-try. Highly recommend stopping by and discovering your new favorite treat--especially if you love ube as much as we do! read more

Parking: Mall parking, so you can choose a side, galleria would be more convenient and it's free. I'm glad this place opened, ever since the Pasadena closed I had to drive down to Cerritos, and then eventually Northridge to get my cravings. The drinks are what I go here for, calamansi drinks are unique to cafe 86, because they are good. Peach mango is also a consistently good drink. I'm not really into the desserts, I know lots of other people like them, but they're great to have when someone else buys them. I like the churrochis tho. When I need that sugar fix. I'm giving it four stars because I don't like the location. I don't like driving too this mall, or parking here too be honest. Cafe 86 is the only reason I'm coming here, but sometimes it feels more of a struggle than going to Northridge. Can't wait for the eagle rock location to open read more

I was happily surprised to see a Cafe 86 located closer to home! They have so many options of ube desserts and a cute cafe seating to enjoy them. I ended up ordering the upside-down halo halo which had vanilla ice cream, flan, jackfruit thinly sliced, jelly, and boba submerged in ube blended icy goodness, 9.5/10. Service was quick and overall friendly. They have a variety of ube cheesecake, ube brownie bars, and etc.. I'll be back to try them out for sure! read more

I discovered Cafe 86 when they did a festival in Burbank. They had a very long line but the wait was so worth it. After the festival we seeked out locations and drove out of our way to Northridge to get their Upside Down Halo Halo. We saw many locations that were "Coming Soon" on their website and saw that their Glendale location was opening. It was crazy busy the opening weekend, so we went the following week and the lines fizzled to normal. The Halo Halo was exactly as I remembered. A good blend of all the good jellies, leche flan, and that ube smoothie. The Glendale Galleria Location is right next to Dick's on the 2nd Floor. Staff was great and even stopped to chat while we were seated at a table enjoying ourselves. read more
