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.

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

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.

Mini Ube Overload

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!

Upside down vs regular halo halo
Jennifer U.

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.

Can't believe we have a Cafe 86 in Vallejo! Used to only be able get this when we were down in San Diego. So happy to have them here! They're located inside of Seafood City and operate on the opposite side of Grill City. Tons of different drink options on the menu, including a bunch of ube flavored ones, plus ube flavored baked goods that you can find in a mini display case on their counter. Although our purchase wasn't ube forward at all, we still got some really yummy things to try! Calamansi juice (5/5) - perfect beverage, especially during hot weather months! Wasn't too sweet, which I loved! Literally tasted like childhood. Exactly how I would make it at home. Sea Salt Coffee (4/5) - my husband is a literal fiend for a sea salt coffee, and this one was good!! Turon Pop Tart (4.5/5) - oh my GOODNESS. If you try any of their baked goods, this is a MUST. Their service was great. The employee who rung us up was super sweet and answered all of our questions. And our drinks came out super fast, maybe within 5-6 minutes of us ordering. Great experience, and can't wait to come back soon!

Turon pop tart  Ube truffle
Esmeralda R.

One of my favorite places in Vallejo to grab a sweet treat. The Ube truffle is a must try! Every time I go I must get it. The other pastry's are also tasty and pair great with their drink options. The drinks are very refreshing. I recommend the strawberry calamansi cooler or the Hibiscus calamansi. Staff is very friendly as well and always willing to give you recommendations. Suitable for a treat after shopping inside of seafood city.

If you like ube you'll love Cafe 86! It is located inside the Seafood City building. Right in the center outside of the grocery store. It's great for a treat after the gym (around the corner from Planet Fitness.) We ordered the upside down halo halo, ube monster, ube cheesecake, ube pop tart and the turn pop tart. I really enjoyed the upside down halo halo. It's everything I like about halo halo but with more ube! The ube monster is cookies and cream and ube. But it isn't overwhelmingly sweet either. The ube cheesecake didn't have a very heavy ube flavor but it did have that bold blue-purple color. The poptarts were also good. No cash payment. Card only. We went in about 15 minutes before closing but none of the items we wanted were sold out or limited. Very fast service. I was told by a friend that this is a chain. Very happy to have them in Vallejo. We will definitely be back!

They really do have amazing tres leches cake! I asked around…read morefor folks' recommendations of where to get a really good tres leches cake and this place came up several times. While they take special orders for larger servings (20+ sheet cakes, etc) they actually have a lot of different cakes that you can simply order on the spot. We ended up with a mocha tres leches (birthday) cake. It was beautifully decorated AND delicious which is the really important part. It wasn't too sweet and the frosting was that really light fluffy kind. Not the heavy overly sweet. Would go here again for special occasion cakes. They do though, also sell cake/pastel by the slice/rabana.

I've been coming to La Michoacana regularly for a long time and have always enjoyed their ice…read morecream, pan dulce, and other items. I've never had an issue until this visit, which is why I feel the need to share this experience. This was my first time purchasing a cake from here, and unfortunately it was extremely disappointing and concerning. When we cut into the cake at home, we noticed odd gray/green discoloration inside the cake, uneven texture, and areas that looked wet and broken down. It also had this awful smell and the appearance alone was enough to make us stop eating it immediately. This does not look like normal cake coloration or texture, and it raised serious food safety concerns. Cakes, especially those with moisture, fillings, or cream, should be closely monitored, and it seems like this one may have sat on display far too long. This is not just about taste or quality; someone could genuinely get sick from consuming something like this. What's disappointing is that I genuinely like this place and come here often, which makes this experience even more frustrating. I really hope management takes this seriously and re-evaluates how long cakes are kept on display before being discarded. Freshness and safety should never be compromised. I'm sharing this not to bash the business, but because I believe they can and should do better, especially since many families shop here regularly.
