    Dragonberry Calamansi Cooler
    Amanda T.

    I gave a 1 star because the halo halo was good. The place was inside seafood city (where all the goodies are!) but it was in a sketchy area but gave it a try anyways. The service was horrible and there were 3 guys working but didn't even wanna hand a togo order to people that were standing there since before we walked in it still took a minute for them to get help! We waited forever for someone to take our order as well. They also dropped a strainer behind a counter and picked it up and rinsed it..not washed...rinsed and continued to scoop the caramel out for my daughter's drink. It was pretty gross and felt like a waste of money. We didn't even finish the tea and the pop-tart was dry. Not to mention the bathrooms were gross and had pee all over the floor...We will skip this place next time.

    Not the best in the Bay/ Area but it was ok. Feel a bit deceived from all the outstanding 5 star reviews.. The shopping center it's located in is a bit sketch and not super populated and that should've been our first sign to turn back around. The ingredients are very mainstream. Nothing that should grant paying over 10$ for this.. stale corn flakes and super dense dry flan. Could also tell the ice cream scoop on top was wholesale clear bucket you can find at any discount store. I feel better knowing my money went to a kind gentleman with good service but his prices aren't up to par with the ingredients and there should be more realistic reviews. Give it a 3/10. Should have only paid about 6-8$ for it.. not 10-11$.

    Halo Halo. It's Tagalog for Hello Hello my Friend
    Paul F.

    Come here on Sunday afternoon 5:00pm. I hope you come with someone or by yourself that's OK too. Order the Halo Halo. Then head to the table area. It's often empty about this time and can be kind of lonely. As that feeling comes creeping in, start eating this Halo Halo. There something special about Halo Halo. Filipinos are a happy group of folks and you can feel a part of that joy in this weird concoction of a hundred ingredients. Enjoy your Halo Halo, it feels good, you'll start to recall something recent that made you smile or laugh, or a loving moment with your Mom that made you tear because you miss her. That's a real feeling. You're not hollow hollow inside, you're...

    First time trying this place & we got their ube halo halo. The halo halo was really good, but I wish they would've added more of the original halo halo ingredients. This place is located inside Island Pacific. Overall, good dessert place to for on the go unless you'd enjoy eating inside the market.

    Friendly dessert run! Cafe 86 is located inside seafood city market as a large stand in the lobby, and it offers a ton of fruit teas, milk teas, blended lattes, and desserts! The barista was exceptionally sweet and kind, giving us time to look at the menu and giving us his recommendations!

    Rose Green Tea

    Service here was fast and friendly. When I approached the counter, I was greeted with a smile and told that it would be a few minutes before someone could take my order. I didn't mind as I wanted to check out the menu. I decided on the House Milk tea and the Rose Green Tea with boba at 100% sweetness. The boba was perfectly squishy while not being overly sweet. Both drinks were pleasant, but I preferred the Rose Green tea because the flavor was subtle and refreshing. There are many boba places in the city, but I chose this place because it's no nonsense and not a chain. Plus the drinks taste like they actually have tea in them and the flavor isn't muted like drinks from Quickly. It was nice that this location is in Seafood City because I was able to sip while I shopping. I would definitely come here again if I was in the area.

    Located inside of Seafood City. I usually order their halo halo and their Ube crack cheesecakes. Everything that we've ordered was so good. Staff are friendly and the times we've ordered waiting to pick it up didn't take that long. I find myself frequenting this place during the summer season because of their halo halo. It is not your boring halo halo...their halo halo is so rich and packed with all toppings and having the Ube Ice cream and flan just rounds out the goodness especially during the hot summer months.

    Ube Monster Milkshake
    herald h.

    Went specifically to try all the different Ube creations. The monster milkshake was very good because it has the magnolia ice cream as the base and I love magnolia ube ice cream. Add some Oreos with it and you have a winner. For the desserts, I did feel some of them were lacking in ube flavor. The poptart, bar, and brownie had some flavor but to me could've been sweeter and richer. The cupcake however was full of flavor and sweetness. That was definitely the best out of the bunch. Overall, this place is a 4/5. It's nice to see the different Ube creations, but I guess with quantity comes the quality.

    Perfect Ube taste on your first bite, not too sweet. The added Oreo cookie crumbs will n the top and bottom makes it even more yummier. Perfect on a hot day like today. Very friendly staff, great service.

    Been here 5 times now they never fail!! I always got Halo, next time I'm going to try the mango peach Tea I heard that was really good!! Their ube Cakes or leches are always good to get to snack on. Whenever I go there we're always greeted with a great smile and ready to get our orders!! Love the way it shows all what they have and promoting on the way with banners!

    Wow!! I am always looking for a great halo halo place. I think I have found one of the best that I've had in the Bay Area!! Ube ice cream on top was amazing!! Great serving! I couldn't even finish it myself as much as I love my halo halo!! Service was great, smiles and offering excellent advice on what to order and can change it up to make it perfect for me. Inside Seafood city behind Grill City. Perfect location, plenty of seating. I'm definitely coming back for more!

    Service is excellent; staff is always cheerful. The drink level of sweetness is just right, I ordered the milk tea. It is very affordable.

    Upside down vs regular halo halo

    Located inside Seafood City directly behind the Grill City area. Even though it was cold and rainy I wanted to try their halo halo. They were out of flan so give me a 10% discount. $9 for a large halo halo is a pretty good deal. Halo halo was tasty as it should be and thankfully not too sweet. I also got an ube butter bar which I inhaled and forgot to take a picture. Place is clean and service was fast. A great place to have a treat after shopping.

    Let me preface this by saying that ALL OF the employees at this location are beyond excellent at…read moretheir job. The owner SUCKS AT HER JOB. Since I come here every single day for a cold brew, I get to know all of them pretty well. I even met the owner one time when all of her employees called out sick and she had to run the coffee booth for the day. (What a nightmare, she had no idea what she was doing. My cold brew sucked and it's the easiest coffee in the world to make) So anyways, for the last three weeks or maybe more, I have been showing up, hoping that the owner of this damn place finally went and picked up some nitrogen For her cold brew machines, but nope. I don't know if she's just a lazy slob or what the deal is, but her employees can't go and get the nitrogen for her. That's the owner's job. If she can't handle doing it, she should hire an assistant manager of some kind to go and do these kinds of things because a business will never be successful Long-term unless they do what it takes to please their customers. I am far from pleased with the owner of this establishment. It's a joke, she's a joke. The simple fact that she can't drive to Concord or wherever the hell it is and pick up bottles of nitrogen for her company gives me secondhand embarrassment for the employees and I don't even work for her. It's actually quite embarrassing for the employees, One in particular told me that they're tired of saying that they don't have cold brew because they know that I come every day for one And they know how easy the fix is. Just go and pick up the damn nitrogen. I won't name names, I can see it on their faces every time I ask for a cold brew and they have to tell me "I'm sorry we don't have the nitrogen and we haven't for weeks" and they have been telling me that every single day for weeks on weeks on weeks. I would get pretty embarrassed, wouldn't you? When will this lazy owner go and do her job? How hard is it to drive and pick up tiny bottles of nitrogen? I've never heard of something so pathetic. I will start driving to the Napa location for my cold brew. At least the owner there knows what the fuck they're doing. I hope that the owner of the American Canyon store reads this, I'm sure she will. And the next time I go to get my cold brew there better be some damn nitrogen in those machines Or I will raise hell. I know the owner's name, I will bite my tongue this time, but not for very much longer. This shit is getting so damn old. @Owner you suck at your job. You seemed really nice when I met you that one time you had to work the booth, but nice isn't the same as ambitious. You are nice and lazy. The most messed up part is her employees have to pay the price. I'm sure there are customers out there who blame the employees instead of the owner even though the employees can't do anything about it. I can only imagine what they go through every single day when they have to say "no" to tired, grumpy, cold brew fans every single morning. One more time for safe measure, @Owner you suck at being an owner. Do your job or sell the business to someone who is willing to do it the right way.

    Great option in American canyon for breakfast and coffee/tea options. It's a small drive-thru stand…read morebut I was happy to get my pumpkin spice latte since PSL season on the east coast isn't here yet. Service was really good, kinda slow though. I'm used to east coast speed where your order comes out almost as soon as you place it. It's a casual but lovely coffee option. Their menu is very diverse, would happily return.
