    7/10/26 103°F Weather calls for halo halo
    Jennifer W.

    7/10/26 This location is bigger than the ones in California! After having dinner, we just happened to pass by and my friend noticed this!!! We were not gonna miss the chance when it's 102°F at 8:30 PM. They were closing in 30 minutes so we had to hurry. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We ordered the hello halo halo iced Matcha Bandan latte and two other drinks that I don't remember (one with hibiscus and the other one something about rose?). These were made quickly and we enjoyed the taste on all counts. I like the Star Wars theme and how spacious the shop is. Will definitely likely return if I ever came back to Vegas.

    Cute cafe with many ube options. We ordered the signature halo halo and ube cheesecake. Signature Halo Halo has Coconut Jellies, Jack Fruit, Boba, Frosted Flakes, Scoop of Ube Ice Cream and Flan. I'm not a big fan of overly sweet dessert and it had the right amount of sweetness. The Frosted Flakes really was the highlight of it. The ube cheesecake was perfect. The crumbs on top gave it a nice touch. A little on the pricey side but definitely will come back and try other items.

    Everything I've tried here has been delicious, but the real star of the show is their ube cheesecake. If you're an ube lover, this place is dangerous for your wallet because they have so many ube desserts that are worth trying. Every time I come, I end up wanting to order more than I planned. The shop itself is clean, cute, and well-kept. My only complaint is that during the summer, it always feels really warm inside. I'm not sure if it's the AC or just the Vegas heat working overtime, but I usually don't stay long because of it. I'd recommend getting your food and drinks to-go if you're visiting on a hot day. That said, the customer service is always great. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and makes the experience enjoyable every time. Between the desserts and the service, I'll definitely keep coming back. But that ube cheesecake? That's the reason I can't stay away.

    Whenever I'm in Vegas and craving ube desserts, Cafe 86 is an easy stop. I've had halo-halo all over, and honestly... I've never had a bad one -- and that streak definitely continues here. Lots of tables and open space. We ordered three versions to compare: Upside Down Halo-Halo (customized without the jellies) Upside Down Halo-Halo Traditional Halo-Halo What keeps bringing me back is the Upside Down Halo-Halo. It feels like a modern evolution of the classic Filipino dessert. Instead of being overwhelmed by mix-ins, you really get a stronger ube-forward flavor, which I personally love. The addition of boba gives it a fun texture, and skipping the beans makes it feel lighter and more dessert-focused while still keeping that halo-halo spirit. The traditional halo-halo still hits that nostalgic note -- shaved ice, sweetness, and layered textures -- but Cafe 86's upside-down version is where they really stand out. It's familiar yet updated, almost like halo-halo reimagined for a new generation. If you're an ube fan or trying halo-halo for the first time, this is a great introduction. Classic roots with a modern twist -- and proof that innovation and tradition can absolutely coexist in one cup.

    Matiki Bbq is closed so I decided to walk over to grab me a delicious Crinkle Ube Cookie. A definite must try.

    So beautiful imside

    All their desserts are amazing, and especially all of their different types of drinks, slushes, and teas. Great customer service and friendly greetings as soon as you come in. Very nice place to relax and drink your drink and eat some desserts while sitting down it's very clean.

    Another weekly trip at my favorite Ubey-baby. Cafe 86 is proof that ube is a lifestyle, not a flavor Everything here is perfectly sweet, ridiculously good, and impossible to order "just one." I come for one dessert and leave questioning all my life choices--in the best way. Vegas has many temptations... this is my favorite one. 10/10, no rAAgrets

    We came here after exploring red rock canyon because we were craving a cold treat. We ordered 3 of their signature upside down halo halo and 1 of their regular halo halo. The halo halo was very creamy. I liked that they used boba in their halo halo as opposed to red bean in halo halo which I'm not really a fan of. It also came out really quick, which we were very happy about. This cafe has a lot of available seating and has really good air conditioning which I appreciate. There is also a decent amount of parking available so parking isn't an issue here. I definitely recommend checking this spot out if you haven't already. Try it out if you like. :)

    The drinks are a really good especially the halo halo. It's a casual atmosphere. The service was quick and they are friendly.

    Ube tres leches
    Dolly J.

    This is a cute cafe. There's a lot of tables to sit and look cozy enough to do some studying and small get-together. The staff was patient and helpful as there were quite the amount of pastries and drinks on the menu to choose from. I like that each pastry was already individually packed. The mais con yelo dessert and the drink (I forgot its name, sorry) was great. The tree leches was a bit too much ube flavor for me, but my husband liked it. The bread pudding was amazing. The mais con yelo bar was not really a favorite, it was pretty bland and dry. Overall, it was good experience and the food and drinks w bought were delicious. Not pictured: ube bread pudding

    Ube Flan
    Victoria K.

    The cafe is located in a small shopping center and I stumbled upon it right after dinner. I opted for a sweet treat and service was okay. There was no one at the front to talk to or take my order until I finally locked eyes with someone and they came around to the counter. I finally asked about different desserts and ended up choosing the Ube Flan I wish I asked a bit more because I didn't realize it was more of a cupcake with flan on top, which was my fault. Flan was okay; not too sweet, but had a hard texture not really creamy and smooth. The Ube Cake was good, not amazing, and some parts were a bit dry. Together it made more sense. The dessert was about $6 after tip. So a bit pricey too! Overall I wanna come back to try some other desserts next time.

    First heard of this cafe on social, passed by the area one day so made a point to come try it out when we'd in the area again. Initially, we were intrigued because of the ube and filipino desserts, which we were happy with the choices. Then we were greeted with the Star Wars + Toyota AE86 decor and decided to hangout in the cafe while enjoying our desserts. We were immediately greeted by the cashier, who was patient as we navigated the menu while trying to keep our daughter's attention. They were also quick to get our order out. Ordered a strawberry calamansi cooler and upside down halo halo milkshake. Calamansi is a citrus fruit, popular in the Philippines, used for cooking and juices. It's similar to lemon and lime. Halo Halo (hah-low hah-low) is a Filipino dessert with ube ice cream, leche flan, beans, jellies and shaved ice. This cafe turns the ube and shaved ice into a milkshake with boba, with the added jellies at the bottom and the additional ice cream and corn flakes on top. We'll definitely be back to try more menu items and desserts!

    I got a marketing email and was able to snag one of the Valentine's Day heart specials. It was basically in very cute tin packaging, but essentially their Ube cupcake base with cream cheese frosting. It had the perfect amount of Ube taste and the cream cheese frosting and a perfect combination to it. It was super moist and not dry at all, which is what I like from café 86.

    Ask the Community - Cafe 86

    Do they have enough seating for 30 people?

    Yes they do.

    Why do you close so early? This is Las Vegas

    It's a bakery and a tea shop. Most close early anyways. If you're looking for late night drinks try Cloud Tea.

    Are we allowed to come in for socially distanced dine in?

    No all seating is taped off

    Does the ube truffles, ube crinkles, and ube butter bars need to be refrigerated?

    Did they stop their reward program?

    The last time I went there they no longer did rewards. I don't think they started it up again.

    Do they have non-dairy options?

    Yes they absolutely do!

    What days do they have halo-halo bread pudding?

    Any day of the week but they sold out fast so I'd recommend to go early or the time when they open.

    Do they have lunch food? (ie savory options)?

    They have grilled cheese sandwiches. My husband and I tried it and it was really good, very cheesy. They serve it with a heaping amount of potato chips.

    Are the desserts marked if they contain nuts for those w nut allergies?

    No you will have to ask them. They are very friendly and helpful.

    What days and times is the ube flan available?

    Any day of the week but its best to arrive in the morning when they open. They get alot of customers that buy in bulk. Do keep in mind with the recent opening and viral posts on social media with the Ube Craze has created a stir among foodie… 

    Is this open now?

    Nope, the last I heard they're trying again for opening on Father's Day *fingers crossed* Rest assured I'll smear it all over yelp when they're open...photos of ube everything!! ;)

    I've had this place bookmarked for months now......when are you set to open?

The coffee was bold, rich, and noticeably stronger than a typical iced coffee, with a deep roasted flavor that really came through. It had the perfect balance of intensity and sweetness for my taste--the condensed milk softened the bitterness without overpowering the coffee. One thing I really like is that they let you taste your drink before paying, so you can adjust it to your preference. Since Vietnamese coffee is naturally strong, this is especially helpful if you want to fine-tune the sweetness or coffee-to-milk ratio. There can be a long line, but it moves pretty quickly. A must-visit if you're into strong, flavorful Vietnamese coffee!

It was decent, though it didn't taste freshly squeezed. The turnout was excellent--during the lesson, the place was packed shoulder-to-shoulder, with dancers filling every available inch of floor space. Afterward, a live jazz band took the stage and kept the energy high. The night was genuinely fun, with swing in the air and a lively, nostalgic atmosphere. It did get quite warm inside, but a couple of fans helped keep the air circulating. On regular nights, I understand Coffee Note shifts to a more relaxed open jazz jam session--perfect for sitting at a table with a drink and soaking in the sounds of America's musical past. The venue itself is a charming little coffee shop that feels ideal for reading, working, or enjoying quiet conversation with friends. We'll definitely be back for future events.
