    Came with couple friends to supposed local business. Kind of small store , only 3-4 tables, warm ambience. I only like the halo halo original, tastes much like icee, would definitely go back for more halo halo. One of the cashier seems like she didn't like her job, bad attitude when taking our orders, anyhow

    Ube Cupcake with flan
    Steven M.

    I mainly come here for the Ube Cupcakes with Flan or the Ube Crinkles. I love that you can schedule a pick up order online and schedule when to pick it up your order. Everything on the menu is Ube. My coworkers wish the store sell the flan separate from the cupcake. On some days, the Ube Cupcake is dry and not moist.

    Recently been introduced to the location. We loved the first experience and headed today to this location after a hike nearby. Pleasant experience once again and was surprised with a Mother's Day treat-- so sweet! Everything we have tried so far is yummy. We brought home extra sweets for the week. Place is consistently clean and staff is consistently nice.

    BOGO drink deal for July 4th!
    Shaina P.

    I loved the mais con yelo. It was sweet, refreshing, and exactly what I needed to cool down on a hot, humid afternoon. My parents and I also took advantage of the buy-one-get-one-free deal on July 4th, and we were thrilled with both the quantity and the quality of the drinks. I also want to give a shoutout to the staff for their kind hospitality. They even held the door open for my mom as we were leaving with our drinks, which was very thoughtful of them. We'll definitely be back!

    4.5 stare Located in a small strip center. Other business are 7-11, Los Altos Taqueria, Sri Lakshmi vegetarian restaurant. it's on the corner of Dixon Rd and Millmont in Mi,pitas. A friend told me about this little bakery. It was new to me, but found out they had other Bay Area locations and I saw a YOUTUBE blogger said they actually started in Southern California. My friend recommended the Ube butter bars and also mentioned desserts with an Ube forward names. But they also had other items like Filipino halo halo etc. Staff was friendly and accommodating and basically you walk in and you order from a tablet and then dessert is brought to the front and bagged. Very simple concept it allows people to come in and come out quickly. Almost $59.00 total, the first time order consisted of: (see picture) Leche flan cupcake Ube butter bars Ube cheesecake Ube tres leche cake Turon pop tart Halo Halo (ice dessert) Peach mango tea w/ boba (pearls) All in all, it's for someone who adors Ube. Just in case you've never heard of UBE. it is a Filipino purple sweet potato that's commonly used in desserts and I'm told a few savory dishes. Think of Americans orange sweet potatoes for both desserts and savory dishes. It's worth a drive by. :)

    ube crinkle cookie
    Rita W.

    cute little place w lots of ube stuff churrochi w ube ice cream - 10/10 amazing yummy wow upside down halo halo - 8/10 good but too much volume for me - i would've preferred half the volume for half the price ube flan cupcake - 5/10 kinda eh, I think bc my brain always assumes flan = Taiwanese "pudding" from my childhood but alas no - felt a lil on the dry/hard side for me ube crinkle cookie - 6/10 tasted good but not worth the price total was like 35 bucks for 4 items id go back to get the churrochi again & try other things tho

    I stumbled upon this Cafe 86 location while driving around Milpitas. The parking lot is small for all the businesses in this strip mall. The cafe is decorated like their other locations. A couch, window seating, and several small tables to sit at. One unisex restroom with code lock. Order via kiosk or cashier. House music playing. The service was warm and friendly! House Milk Tea (less ice and less sweet, +$ boba) - the boba was nice, soft, and chewy. The milk tea was good (4/5). Ube Crinkle Cookie (4/5) - light, soft, cake-like cookie dusted with powdered sugar. Support your local business.

    Flan cupcake + ube tres leches
    Jessica A.

    The last I had Cafe 86 was when I was in So-Cal and that was many years ago and I had forgotten about this chain until recently. We ordered the ube tres leches, flan with ube cupcake, and turon poptart. The ube tres leches was almost perfection aside from the icing tasting chalky. The flan was great but the cupcake was dense. The turon poptart was amazing. It was slightly busy and we had already waited nearly half an hour for our to-go order. We regretted asking to heat up the poptart since the staff ended up forgetting and we waited an additional 5 minutes.

    Ube monster milkshake
    Julia L.

    12/28/2025. Bought w friends off door dash. Was see in the very pricy side since it's door dash. Prices will be based on their website Got the ube monster milkshake w boba 24 oz ($9.5) Which was an additional +1.05. There were def some ube flavors and I think it worked well w the Oreos inside. The boba was decently chewy but a bit bland. However, it was pricy for this drink and especially when I got an allergy reaction to it. I didn't drink or eat anything else since consuming this particular drink at 2 pm and now it's 8 pm, got some minor hives (allergy). I am allergic to un-fresh seafood, dust, food coloring, some animal fur... but this is odd. If the Ube is fresh w no additive or food coloring, it should not have affected me... thus. I am deeply questioning the quality of the drink and the high prices. The Ube crinkles ($4.5) was slightly disappointing. As u can see it was small but good to taste. Despite the red flag of the extreme purple Ube drink, I tried it since this shop is well known for its Ube food and drink. Plus, Ube is naturally very purple. Unfortunately, the expectation was too high and fell w disappointment. But the food wasn't too bad, just minor stuffs w/ allergy reaction. Prob not my goto spot + the distance. Overall 3.5/5

    Ube monster mini, Thai tea monster
    Heather T.

    First time coming to Cafe 86. My family tried the Ube Monster mini and Thai tea monster. Very delish and delightful. Enjoyed the vibes and the drink! The place was very clean and presentable to hang out with family for Ube sweets. Customer service was friendly. Will be back to try more from the Menu next time My son rated his Ube monster mini 10/10 My bf rated his Ube monster mini 9/10 Myself with the Thai monster 9/10 Milkshake isn't watered down and can taste the flavors and Oreo cookie in the drinks. Yum! Def better than any Ube drink/ Thai tea I've had in a long time.

    We came for to try their drinks and we got the nutella iced latte with oatmilk and it was perfectly sweetened without it being overly sweet. I love the uniqueness of the nutella flavor and would definitely get this latte again! This place had a warm smell and good amount of seating to spot and eat in. They had a nice selection of bakery items too to choose from!

    Ube Truffle .... The Bomb
    Peachy B.

    Cafe 86 never disappoints! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is friendly and attentive. Their desserts and drinks are absolutely delicious, with the ube flavors standing out as some of the best I've had. Everything tasted fresh, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. Whether you're stopping by for a quick treat, coffee, or dessert with friends and family, Cafe 86 is definitely worth the visit. The quality, consistency, and excellent customer service keep me coming back. If you're an ube lover--or even if you're trying it for the first time--this place is a must-visit.

    Love the selection they have. I got the lecheflan cupcake, ube krinkle cookie and calamansi drink. I think my favorite was the leche flan cupcake. I want to try more of their other goodies. Quick and easy service. You can order at the register or a kiosk. Really nice customer service

The presentation was absolutely beautiful, making it the perfect centerpiece for the celebration. The cake itself was outstanding - light, delicate, and made with fresh, juicy mangoes. I especially loved the slight hint of tartness from the mangoes, which perfectly balanced the subtle sweetness of the cream. It was refreshing to enjoy a cake that wasn't overwhelmingly sugary and let the quality of the ingredients shine. This was my husband's very first crepe cake, and he absolutely loved it. In fact, our entire family enjoyed every bite. If you're looking for a dessert that's elegant, fresh, and not overly sweet, I highly recommend this one. We'll definitely be back to try more flavors, I'm especially excited to try the Black Sesame Crepe Cake next!

I came around 6:50PM on a Saturday and there was a small line for the order kiosk. After I ordered, there were a limited number of seats since people tend to hangout in friend groups and treat it as their 3rd space, so be prepared to fight for a table if you're coming during peak times. I sat down and realized they were a whole 10+ orders behind, meaning I waited at least 25mins before getting my bingsu! I ordered a honeydew yogurt bingsu and it was $20. Inflation may be a little crazy, but this was a little above what I was expecting. It came with about 1/2's worth of honeydew. The bowl was not topped with bingsu, and I felt like there are more melons than bingsu (not ok). There were some sweet cheese pieces inside (yummy), some unsweetened frozen yogurt, and the rest was yogurt flavored bingsu. Although healthy, the bingsu itself was NOT sweet enough and I felt sick after eating so much unsweetened yogurt. I wish they gave us a cup of condensed milk like they do at every other bingsu place... Service was slow and everything is self serve, from getting your bingsu at the front to bussing your tray. I do believe there are other bingsu spots in Bay Area that give a similar experience with more variety and better pricing. I do not look forward to waiting almost 30min after spending $20 for a bingsu that's only half bingsu with honeydew layered on top.
