absolutely love Café 86 in Tustin! From the moment you walk in, you feel like family. The owners, Derek and Yumi, are some of the warmest, most welcoming people you'll ever meet. They don't just run a café--they really care about the community. I've seen them open their doors early in the morning or even late in the evening so groups can gather for meetings or events. That kind of heart is rare, and it shows in everything they do. Now let's talk about the food--wow. My #1 favorite is the Turon Pop Tart (crispy, sweet, and so good it's addictive!). The grilled cheese is gooey on the inside, perfectly crisp on the outside, and totally comfort food goals. Then there's the ube cheesecake--rich, creamy, not too sweet, and full of ube flavor. Their halo-halo takes me right back home, and the calamansi drink is the perfect refreshing balance. The whole vibe here is welcoming, cozy, and filled with love. As a Filipino, it makes me proud to have a spot like this where culture, food, and community all come together. Café 86 is more than just a café--it's a little piece of home in the heart of Tustin. Highly recommend! read more

The drinks and churrochi were delicious and that cookie butter milkshake has a place in my heart! You also can't go wrong with their ube truffles. For Ube lovers this place is your spot. read more

SO HAPPY they are here now. This has been my go to place for Halo-Halo personally. I like to get mine upside down. The cornflakes make a great added crunch to whats already a delicious refreshment. I basically get one everytime I go there +/- pastries. If you love Ube flavor, this is the place to go too. They have lots of different options that you really cant go wrong with. read more

Super friendly service. It was my first time here. Love their options. I am definitely coming back to try the rest of their coffee drinks.

This cafe was delicious and had great drinks. I opted for an Iced Cookie Butter Latte and an Uber Pop Tart. It was so good, I ate the pop tart before I remembered to take a picture. The drink was delicious too, sweet but not overpowering and really refreshing. Staff was friendly, and the cafe was clean with plenty of seating. I'll definitely be back, and I'll keep this place in mind when I need to schedule a meeting with someone over coffee! read more

I'm so glad Cafe 86 is now opened in The District At Tustin Legacy. I normally have to drive to Cerritos, their other location, for their Halo Halo dessert. They are well known for the Filipino Halo Halo dessert. read more

The Pandan Matcha Late w/Oatmilk was refreshing. It was my first time at a Café 86 location & this one has set the bar high. From the moment I entered the, I was greeted warmly by a knowledgeable employee who helped me order, making recommendations based on what I like. The atmosphere was perfect for the event I was attending that evening. Will be a repeat customer & will bring friends & family! read more

My girlfriend and I stumbled across Cafe 86 when we were walking around the district. I can't believe we didn't know about this place sooner! We got the rosie milk tea, halo halo bread pudding, with ube ice cream, and the turon poptart. Everything we ordered was unique and it perfectly satisfied my sweet tooth. The service was prompt and helpful when we inquired about the ube butter bar. I'm excited to come back here to try more of their desserts and milk teas. read more

I used to go to the location in Cerritos very often and I always had a good experience. I have came to this location twice and the first time everything was OK but the second time I found a hair in my Ube flan cupcake, and my drink tasted like milk. I ordered the cookie butter latte and I had to add an espresso shot once I got home. The Thai tea is also very weak. The service is good here and in general, it has a lot of potential read more

Cafe 86 - upside down halo halo and cookie butter latte - Desserts Near Me - Tustin, California

My brothers and I, along with my nieces (5 and 7 years old), decided to come here for dessert after dinner. While waiting, we decided to play Uno to pass the time. We lost track of time and didn't realize that it was time for them to close. Instead of being warned about their closing time, a staff decided to turn off the lights on us while we were seated without a word. I felt that that was incredibly passive aggressive, rude, and unnecessary. Normally, this wouldn't bother me, but because it was sort of a small reunion for my brothers and I + we had KIDS with us, I just felt that this was a very poor example of customer service. I believe this situation could have been easily avoided with a simple and courteous warning, such as, "Just a heads-up, we're closing in a few minutes." I really do hope that management will consider providing clearer guidance to staff on communicating closing times respectfully to customers especially as they just opened at this location not too long ago. read more

Stopped by this new desserts shops at the Tustin District and so glad we did. We really enjoyed their ube leche flan cupcake, ube bread pudding halo halo, upside down halo halo, Thai tea monster with boba, sea salt coffee, and matcha latte. The owner and her staff are so sweet and welcoming too. Super relaxing ambiance located near bunch of other eateries and stores. So glad that we finally have a delicious Filipino dessert shops here in the OC!! read more

Stopped by Café 86 in the Tustin District after having ramen next door at RAKKAN. I got the upside-down halo halo, and while it wasn't overly sweet (which I appreciated), it was definitely a bit too much for me. Still, for just about a dollar more than the smaller size, it felt worth trying. The ube ice cream in it was delicious, and the boba was a great addition. I was a bit sad when the previous halo halo spot in that location closed, so I'm happy to have a new go-to nearby, especially with summer around the corner. The staff was friendly and the service was quick and efficient. I also liked the atmosphere, lots of younger folks studying and hanging out, which gave the place a chill, welcoming vibe. I tried a couple of the ube desserts too. The ube truffle didn't really hit the mark for me (lacked strong ube flavor), and the ube brownie was decent but nothing mind-blowing. If I had just had the halo halo it would be 5/5 but because the desserts weren't 5/5 I had to go with a 4/5 overall. They definitely have better items on the menu, but I'll be back for that halo halo! read more

I really liked this place and definitely would come by again! The staff was very friendly and it wasn't too busy inside so it was a great place to read at. I got the Halo Halo Bread Pudding which I definitely recommend getting heated up. I liked how soft it was, it had the right amount of sweetness in my opinion, and honestly great to eat if it's a little chilly out. It comes with ube ice cream which I got on the side and also just as good too! As for a drink, I got an iced latte which is a good size for the price. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but I enjoyed it and it woke me up. read more

If you're thinking about going, this is your sign. The drinks are delicious and the treats have a perfect balance of sweetness and creativity. The lady behind the counter was super helpful and answered all of my questions before I ordered. The cafe is cozy and I saw a few games that could be played which was a fun twist for people wanting to come and relax. I ordered the ube matcha, cookie butter latte, flan ube cupcake, and ube cheesecake. Ube matcha was creamy and sweet without being too sweet, the cookie butter latte packed a punch and definitely satisfied the coffee itch, flan ube cupcake took me by surprise because I'm not usually a flan fan but it was firm instead of super watery and really tasty, and the ube cheesecake was sweet and soft with graham crust and crumble which created this amazing sandwich effect. Everything was so good and I would definitely try more items when I go back! read more

Finally got to try the upside down halo halo and it did not disappoint! The flavors and different textures were on point! I loved it so much I finished the entire cup on my own haha. Only negative was that they ran out of boba when I came and the flan tasted burnt but it was still so delicious overall. Great customer service and the location was so clean and aesthetic! read more

Well we came hoping for Ube crinkles, but they were out and we were told they wouldn't have any until Tuesday. So we did the butter bars instead. But as a dessert destination better attention should be paid to maintaining a reasonable supply of their popular items. read more

I usually enjoy Cafe 86, I typically will drive to Cerritos/Artesia to get them. When I found out there one in Tustin I was excited. Little did I know it would turn in disappointment. Food and drinks was good but service is subpar. read more

Cafe 86 never disappoints, and this particular branch is truly amazing! Derrick and Yumi always welcome us with such warmth and genuine smiles. They've been incredible hosts for our networking group each month, and it's clear they take great pride in what they do. The service is consistently excellent, the food is always fresh and delicious (my fave upside down halo halo and ube crinkles but everything is good) and the space is spotless. Every time I leave, I find myself already looking forward to coming back for more! read more

coffee and drinks were just sub par ... food made up for it .. go somewhere else for drinks ...

I went here during the grand opening, and the line was quite long and took a while, but it will likely be faster the grand opening day is over. Service was friendly and helpful. The calamansi is very sweet, even though I got it half sweet, so I recommend adjusting sugar. I expected it to taste like yuzu juice, but it tastes closer to lemonade with hints of orange juice. The Rosie has good flavor, but was not as creamy/ was more runny/watery than most milk teas I'm used to. It's pretty refreshing though. I like my drinks cold with no ice, but that was not an option, so both my drinks came with light ice. It's still a bit heavy on the ice for me. The interior is cute, but too loud with the music and crowd to do work at. It's not very roomy inside, but it's located in a lovely shopping area with ample parking nearby. read more

I love Cafe 86!!! As a Filipino American living in Orange County, it's so cool to see staple Filipino treats like halo halo being served in Tustin!! The owners Derek and Yumi are incredibly sweet and friendly and always make sure they have your order just right. I love their Pandan Matcha Latte which gives me a nostalgic feeling of home, while also not being too sweet. Their Calamansi Juice is also a refreshing (and VERY delicious, not tart or sour!) nod to the calamansi I would have growing up!! My mom loved to use calamansi in the pancit dishes she would cook for me and my sisters. Definitely recommend!! read more
