And the cold foam on the Matcha Cloud was perfectly creamy, seriously so delicious. The space itself is super spacious and gives off a cozy study-lounge vibe. It's pretty quiet and very student-friendly, but honestly anyone could come here, hang out, get some work done, or just enjoy their coffee. There's plenty of seating and plenty of parking, which is always a plus! The whole place also has this really cool Korean café-inspired ambience that makes it feel different from your average coffee shop. Super cute, relaxing, and just a really nice place to chill. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

My favorite halo-halo spot!…read more I come to Cafe 86 all the time, and honestly, their halo-halo is one of my absolute favorites! It's probably the ONLY halo-halo I can actually finish because it's not overwhelmingly sweet. Everything blends together perfectly, and you can actually enjoy all the flavors without feeling like you're eating a bowl of pure sugar! Both their regular Halo-Halo and Upside Down Halo-Halo are SO GOOD! I also love their calamansi drinks and Cali-Mango Slush. So refreshing and delicious! The atmosphere is another reason I keep coming back. They even have a cute little mini library with books, which I love! There are always people studying or just hanging out, and it has such a nice, relaxed coffee shop vibe. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the service is consistently good. I love having a place nearby where I can enjoy my favorite Filipino desserts, relax, and just hang out.

Such a good underrated spot for some drinks with their filipino-themed flavors and some teas!!! My…read morefriends and I decided to come here because of a really good deal and we were all saying that we should come here more often because of how good the drinks were. You can either order with the staff or order through the kiosk on the right side. You have an option to type on the text box if you need to change the milk to oat milk, for example. I always ask for just in case they do have oat milk so if you have any special requests, depending on how busy it is, might be better to talk to someone to order!!! The Tiger Tea was really delicious and was a good amount of sweet. The Mermaid drink was a fav from my group. I really liked the Milo and the Ube Milk teas. They were pretty quick with the orders so it's not too crowded inside of people waiting. It's very cozy inside and there's warm lighting and some books too for people to read. Public bathroom in the back.

There was a line out the door but once you actually get to order, the employees work fast. We snagged street parking but they have spaces around the back as well.

It was later in the day, very hot out, and I was thirsty. Saw that Re: Coffee was still open, near Trader Joe's (which I needed to visit) and feeling indulgent went in. It was kind of late in the day for caffeine, so I looked at the menu and the Grapefruit Sparkling Ade caught my eye - I have a fondness for grapefruit at times. The barista warned me it might be on the bitter side, but that didn't scare me so I went ahead and ordered it. It wasn't that bitter at all, very refreshing. So if you are looking for something fruity and sparkling here, try this drink! The space is very small, so if you are looking for a place to work, you might need to look elsewhere though.

So so so good! I was very excited to go here since I've never had italian ice before, and needless…read moreto say it exceeded expectations! Bingsu/Korean shaved ice is a regular fave of mine but they tend to be very dairy-based and it can be difficult to find a place w/ something similar in texture and that has dairy-free options. And this place has just that. This is the perfect spot for those looking for more fruit-centric refreshing flavors or even the sweet pastry-inspired dessert selections! A small portion of water ice is approximately 3-4 sizable scoops! And a small portion of the gelati (water ice + soft serve) specialty is approximately the size of a McDonald's parfait. My partner got the summertime (strawberry, cherry, watermelon(?) flavor and I got the peach cobbler inspired cup with gelati. I was hoping they'd have the apple pie one but it wasn't listed on the menu when we were there. Regardless, still a very tasty and amazing treat to cool down with! Service was helpful and you're welcome to try samples of anything. Was very shocked to see that employees manually swirl/mix flavors while scooping rather than have tub with pre-swirled flavors. I'm sure that takes some skill! Ambiance is very fun with lively and colorful decor. The music on the speakers can be pretty loud esp the further back into the store you're sitting at. 5000000% would go here again, would love to try the other flavors and maybe have a bigger portion when I have more stomach room bc it was that good I almost wish we had dinner elsewhere right after instead or before LOL!

Has the Summer Time which was good but I did wish it was a little more tart. That may have been my fault and next time I will try some other flavors to get that punch I am looking for. Parking- Shares a fairly large parking lot with many other businesses. I did not have trouble finding parking but I could see that it would not always be that easy.

In my opinion, I think that knafeee should just be knafeee and not change it with adding a bunch of stuff that doesn't need to go on it but that's just my opinion. It does hit the spot when you feel like you want something sweet and they're there.

The cafe is 2 floors with lots of seating, both upstairs and downstairs. Definitely a great spot to study, get some work done, or catch up with friends. I ordered the Matcha Earl Grey Latte and the Popcorn Chicken. My drink came out pretty fast, while the popcorn chicken took around 10 minutes. I loved the latte! The earl grey flavor was strong, so it was definitely on the sweeter side. The chicken was definitely different from the Taiwanese-style popcorn chicken I was expecting. The texture was more like mini chicken tenders or nuggets than the usual crispy, popcorn chicken. The chicken itself was juicy and had less breading. Not bad at all, just different from what I expected. Pricing is also not bad, especially for the portions. I parked in the back lot, but there's also free street parking. Overall, I really liked the space and would definitely come back to try more of their drinks!

The taste was good but here are my two issues that made this a 3 star rating instead of a 4 star rating- 1) Price is a little steep at $15. 2) If I am going to pay $15 for this product I want it to be really good and not just pretty good. The ratio of churro to ice cream was not what it should have been. The churro was long gone way before the ice cream was. Parking- Shares a lot lot with other businesses.

The texture is always right and they're generously filled. It's one of their popular items, but they have a lot of other good stuff on their menu too! Their perashkis are good if you're looking for something savory (I wish there was an "assorted" box for this too for when I can't pick a single flavor). Also recommend their Bread broat - Adjarakan and Georgian Khachapuri. And then there's the cake section. Don't get me started on this. I'm admittedly biased when it comes to honey cakes but their assorted sheet cakes are SO GOOOOOOD!!! Just the right sweetness and texture, and good portion sizing (bless them for this because I'd eat the whole sheet otherwise). So yeah, if you're looking for a new spot to try or just want a break from other known big or chain bakeries, try Papillon!

The food is always fresh, tasty, and very reasonably priced, which keeps us coming back. Some of our absolute favorites are the potato pirashki, cabbage pirashki, nacho cheese empanadas, and of course the custard and Nutella ponchiks--everything is always warm, flavorful, and perfectly made. Today my husband, who is very picky, decided to try their lahmajun for the first time. He loved it! It was crisp, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. That was another win for Papillon. Definitely worth trying a variety of their recipes--you really can't go wrong here.

Aside from drinks (coffee, teas and refreshers), they do have a display case of pasties, including whole cakes and cake slices. For my visit, I tried ... 1. Pistachio Cream Foam Latte (4/5): Overall, this is one of the better pistachio flavored drinks I've had. The pistachio flavor was quite strong. They put real pistachio butter along the sides of the cup, so it gives it a consistent nutty note. The espresso was decently strong and there were definitely notes of vanilla flavor as well. I also liked that they sprinkled on some real pistachio bits on the top of the cream foam. Overall, a solid drink. A tad on the sweeter side for my liking. 2. Bird's Milk Cake Slice (1/5) I am usually a fan of anything that's milk flavored, but this disappointed. It's described as being "a light and airy cake with delicate honey-flavored layers, soaked in fluffy cream and covered with a glossy chocolate glaze." In my opinion, it seemed more like a dense milli crêpe cake. I did not taste any milk flavor at all, just notes of honey flavor, which was nice, but I was just hoping for a bit more "milky" flavor given its name. Other than the subtle honey, notes I did not taste anything else at all, not even chocolate from the glossy chocolate glaze. Then denseness of the cake made it too filling after just 2-3 bites. Unique to this place is their "split-cup" that they call MonArt Double Pleasure. It's a dual-chamber cup design that allows you to have 2 flavors in 1 cup. It's nifty if you want to share a drink between you and your significant other. It even comes with a dual straw lid. Worth checking out if you're in the area!
