    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.

    Matcha Pandan Latte

    Ambiance is very welcoming and bright atmosphere. Service is great as they were kind and fast. My drink was a 10/10, very fragrant with Pandan flavor and goes every well with the matcha, highly recommend !

    Pumpkin Spice ube latte! Me love!

    ​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!

    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.

    Strawberry Calamansi Cooler

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Turkey Pesto Sandwich
    Ann L.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Ube Latte (no caffeine)
    Eric P.

    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!

    Tasty desserts. Don't skip on the sandwiches. Couldn't decide on which to get so I got both Turkey Pesto and Pastrami. Don't judge me.

    The iced coffee here has very weak flavor. Maybe they are more known for deserts not coffee.

    I recently found out Bruster's Real Ice Cream has made its way to La Canada Flintridge Town Center…read morenear Descanso Gardens. Cool! I love the garden and I love ice cream. Perfect location! Got here in the evening. Parking appears limited where I was parked, but I know there are more parking at the town center. Anyway, I got lucky with a close parking spot. No inside seating. Just a couple tables and chairs outside. They weren't super busy at the time. I was the only person in line. This is my 2nd time trying Bruster's. My first time was at their Rancho Cucamonga location. Nick, the staff member who helped me, was very nice and helpful. I asked for recommendations on their best flavors. He graciously offered them. Thank you Nick! I got to sample a handful of flavors... Boston Cream Pie, Sea Salt Caramel, Death By Chocolate, Caramel Macchiato, and Cinnamon. Thanks for the samples! All the flavors were very good except for the Cinnamon which I thought was very light in taste. Since I was driving, I chose an ice cream shake instead of a cup or cone. Caramel Macchiato was my pick! It had a really nice caramel flavor with coffee bean bits. I was slightly disappointed that they didn't pile up the ice cream to the top of the lid. It stopped at the top of the cup. I felt I was shorted some ice cream unfortunately. Hence, 4 stars! Nevertheless, Nick was amazing. His service was fantastic. Wonderful conversation and experience. Ice cream shake was yummy. It was finished before I arrived home. YES, I will come back to try their other unique flavors! Thank you Bruster's!

    Thank you, 2026, for kicking off with ice cream--bold choice, no notes…read more Dog treats? Always free. As they should be. Bruster's : Rooted on the East Coast, now proudly hailed in California--coastal glow-up complete. There's no indoor seating, but who needs walls when you've got plenty of outdoor spots and good weather pretending it's effortless? It's the kind of upscale suburb where everything feels just right for a pit stop before a hike, or a slow cruise down Chevy Chase Dr. to peek at the Maison and quietly dream. One day, I will buy one. Manifesting responsibly. Until then I be capitalist, work hard, smile often, tip well, and stay far, far away from the loony. Cheers to ice cream beginnings and delusional optimism done right. Ohh yeah, with my puppy!

    Shaved ice from Oakobing on a summer night always hits, and this was no exception…read more The mango bingsu was the star of the show, hands down. Fluffy, snow-soft ice piled with real mango cubes and a milk drizzle on top - and even in the single-serving cup size, it was seriously worth it. We also tried the green tea bingsu, topped with matcha powder and mochi, which was solid but the mango stole the spotlight for me. Pro tip: the single size is pretty generous on its own, so unless you're trying to sample a few flavors, one cup does the job. We split two just to try different options and it worked out great for that! Parking along the street was hit or miss, but we went pretty late at night so it wasn't too bad. Sweet, refreshing, and exactly what a summer night calls for - will def be back to try more flavors, like the melon or strawberry!

    This is probably one of my favorite desserts especially on hot summer days. The shaved ice is soft,…read moresmooth, and creamy. It instantly melts in your mouth. The product is consistent and perfect every time. Portions are pretty big. Even the single serve can be shared between 2 people. Please look up the menu before arriving. Usually to order you walk in all the way to the kiosk and order from there. If the line is long there's also a QR code on the right side as you enter so you can order from your phone as well. The only thing that's been a consistent issue is there's nowhere to sit. Seating is available inside and there's even a few tables outside but this place is so popular that all the seats are always taken. Be prepared to take your desserts to go. You can walk up to the pick up area and ask for lids.
