    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.

    I'll have to come back when in town, but I enjoyed the assortment of things I purchased from them…read more I definitely want to go back and try the paletas. I wasn't in the mood for them, so I skipped them but sounds like I need to try them. I tried some of the assortment of pan, and each of the things I got was solid. I enjoyed them all and wouldn't be against eating them again. They have a number of different things available to choose from, and I had some choices to make. I'll definitely be hack to try some other things. I also got a licuado, and it was delicious. I got one with mango, but they have a number to choose from and I'll try another one when in town. The staff that were there were great.

    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.
