I just ordered the Ube Latte with a shot of espresso, and this thing was strong. They don't sweeten it much, so it was a bit bitter, but I bet it'd taste great with that Ube Langka cupcake. Definitely picking one up next time. Only thing is, this place is a bit pricy, but I'm still down to explore the rest of the menu. read more

Absolutely love this place! I have seen this place many times, but never stopped by until today. My sister and I were greeted from who I want to assume was the owner or manager. So welcoming and for sure gave a great impression on our first time coming in. The ambiance is aesthetically pleasing. So peaceful and calm. Couldn't help but go straight for the cupcakes. Ended up getting one of each flavor :) just couldn't help with how it's presented. And for sure was not a let down. We got some empanadas as well and the flavor was excellent! Overall this place is so worth stopping by and enjoying the delicious menu they offer. For sure coming back!! read more

Binka Bites - Millbrae - Delicious cupcakes - Desserts Near Me - Millbrae, California

This was a small treasure of a find. My wife and I were looking for a small coffee shop to enjoy each other and walked right by this little coffee shop and it was exactly what we were thinking. I am a sucker for Affogato's (Affogato Al Cafe - espresso and ice cream) and they had it on the menu. Then we added a few empanadas and pastries and all were absolutely amazing!!! When we walked in we immediately thought the environment was great and were impressed with the menu and small selection of snack foods to go with the drinks, but had no idea that the snacks would be so amazing. I am in love with this coffee shop. read more

Their ube cupcakes are the best cupcakes anywhere. Amazing and fresh, always. Staff is super friendly as well. Will return again and again.

We like Binka Bites in SSF and gave the Millbrae location a try since we were in the neighborhood. We ordered a few drinks and some binkas and a coconut pie. Sadly, one of us got a stomach ache after eating the coconut pie but the rest were good. read more

Had a party and needed to pick up some last minute desserts. Bought 3 binka bite combo trays and they were a HIT at the party. Everyone asks where I got them from. I lied and told them I baked it so in a way this is my form of redemption by posting an honest review of the delicious baked goods. They have two locations. Millbrae location is easier to park and get to. read more

Came here Saturday morning arrived when they opened. Staff here was not friendly. We were the first to arrive as we were in the area. Did not get an acknowledgment. Staff did not seem like they wanted to work and were very disorganized. We just got coffee and left. Coffee is mid and there are better selections in the area. I wouldn't recommend solely based on the customer experience. read more

This place is the cutest for a sweet treat, small bite or coffee! I ordered 2 beef empanadas, 2 musubi, a mango blizz and a smores binka! $33 for all which is a great price. The lovely man that took my order was very sweet, patient, welcoming and helpful! Will be coming here again when I'm in the area :) Musubi 10/10 (good rice, spam and sauce ratio) Beef Empanada 10/10 (flavorful and fresh) Smores 8/10 (a little too sweet for me bit i love a good smores dessert) Mango Blizz 100000/10 for my mango lovers! Not super sweet like most drinks and you can really taste the mango flavoring. read more

Ordered the black sesame latte and honestly, was not worth the price. Drink was watered down and basically was more milk versus the sesame flavor. Also, staff wasn't very attentive when I ordered and required me to remind them more than once that my drink was skipped and needed to be made. read more

Binka Bites was open on Labor Day, so it worked out perfectly for us to pick up 8 cupcakes for a lunch social, and ordered 6 more cupcakes to take home. They had an offer of 1 free bread pudding if you ordered 2. My husband couldn't resist and ordered 3 bread puddings. We went overboard because we really love their cupcakes. They're very moist, a little spongy, and not too sweet. My favorite ones are the Ube Flan and the Salted Egg and Cheese. We used to go to the South SF location but that one closes at 4pm, and they would often run out of the favorites. I'm so glad they opened the Millbrae location. It has a nice sit down area and closes at 8pm. read more

Over priced food items, service is slow. The place is very clean. Binka bites are too sweet, I don't feel the "chewiness". Empanada is very expensive. read more

Been trying their different desserts every time I'm in the area and today got the bibingka bread pudding, the avocado blitz, and spamasubi... I love how chill the place is and the staff are very attentive and friendly. Place is always clean... good place to find something sweet and also something savory read more

I went for a sweet drink since it was hot. The workers were nice. But when they gave me my drink like it was only half full. For $8 come on now. Not even a venti Frappuccino $8. I was gonna say something but they were busy, I know that feeling. But never coming here again. If you want to pay for an overpriced drink, for half the product. Come in. read more

Stopped by to try a new take on one of my favorite desserts from the Philippines, and was not disappointed. Their Ube Flan was moist, yet had the mochi consistency of a bibingka. Very minimalistic decor and furnitures. Looks brand new. Service was okay, was in and out so I didn't really have time to connect further with the crew. Overall great experience and yummy dessert. read more

Prices are a bit much for size of cupcake and size of beverage- Vietnamese coffee (which tasted like a plain latte). Understand the need to stay afloat, but does not seem reasonable. Nice interior. Should probably only exist as a specialty food truck at those prices. read more

I haven't had Binka Bites for a very long time. The setting of the location in South San Francisco have changed since the dawn of COVID19. Customers are not allowed to go inside since the set-up was replaced as a food-to-go type of bakery. Fortunately, this location opened around in 2023. This place is probably 4 times as big as compared to the original location. The ambience is fantastic! It is very clean, neat, and well organized. The food is as tasty as usual. Plus, they have additional drinks such as the Oreo Blizz, my new favorite drink. I understand the customer's complaints of the prices of the food. But for someone who also works in the Bay Area, business owners must deal with their expenses such as the rent, cost of ingredients, staff wages, maintenance, water, electricity, taxes and so on. The state of California has the most regulations on businesses in all of United States. The state also has the highest tax rates in the country. Overall, I'm glad to visit this new location. I am happy for the dynamic duo siblings, Jo and Jas to expand their business. read more

Such great gluten free options - not too sweet - the UBE was my favorite. Love this place wish I had one where I lived. Will definitely visit when I come back. read more

Been here two times, got the same drink both times. The mango blizz! Delicious and fresh mango on top is my fav bit. However, the drink itself could use more blending. There's chunks of ice that water down the flavor and the consistency isn't smooth enough to drink. Also, the price is a bit high. $10, which means I only get once in a while for a nice mango treat. However a lot of other places do sell a similar product for less. For $10, please blend the drink more! The baked goods are amazing btw. read more

Tried this place for the time, the restaurant is modern clean and inviting. The binka is super soft and so good especially when it's a little warm. We tried the Ube binka and pandan binka both with great. The mini soa pao is also good when warm. The most memorable was their calamansi tea drink, this is a must have, such great flavor! read more

If you ever want a piece of heavenly bibinka in your mouth, you MUST try this place. This is their second location.. so fitting because of the huge fan base of followers of Binka Bites. The quality ingredients they use in each Binka (ube, nutella flavors to name a few) you will taste in EVERY single bite. My favorite is the ube with macapuno, ube with flan and the Nutella. The new cafe location is somewhat of a tropical oasis where you can relax, enjoy jazzy music, have a cup of fine espresso or hot chocolate with your chosen dessert(s). I was able to try their bread pudding cake topped with ice cream, which I must say was the BEST I ever had. I washed this down with ube latte drink. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The space is perfect to meet with your friends or even have a quiet meeting. If you're a long time fan of Binka Bites or have never tried this Filipino delight, you NEED to come by.. like NOW. You will not be disappointed! Promise! read more

All stars for best Filipino dessert that satisfied your craving for sweets. The softness and sweetness of Binka bite topped with ube flan is my favorite! .... And will definitely try other toppings! Service is superb and ambiance so conducive for relaxing and chitchatting with friends! read more

When this location opened, I was thrilled because I love their cupcakes. The Binkies are my favorite due to their variety, but honestly, all the cupcake flavors are excellent. My top pick is the Nutella cupcake. Additionally, their strawberry matcha drink is very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this place.The customer service is commendable, with staff always providing a warm greeting, and the interior is both clean and aesthetically pleasing. read more

Binka Bites - Millbrae - Ube Latte with Coconut Jelly - Desserts Near Me - Millbrae, California

Customer service was not very good. Went in and ordered a halo halo which is always my go to here at Binka. I asked for a Halo halo with less beans and he tells me they cannot do that because the cups already premade. I understood and kindly told him that I've ordered from here before and I always get less beans. He then went and grabbed a bean cup with an attitude to show me. I also came in yesterday trying to buy a halo halo and all he said was not today with no explanation on why he could not make a halo halo ? There was also big ice cubes pieces in my halo halo. Assuming the guy did not like me Lol. read more

This was my first time visiting this cafe. I didn't want coffee but seen they had matcha. Although a Matcha Latte wasn't on the menu, I just asked if it could be made. The employee was happy to make it for me! Along with it I ordered the last Ube donut. Don't worry, they have several other desserts to choose from. I decided on a donut once the employee stated that he'd already sold 3 dozens for the day. My gosh! It was SO yummy warmed up. This is not your typical doughnut. It wasn't what I was expecting but it was a nice surprise! If you like the consistency of mochi but less sticky and soft, this is perfect for you. I ended up speaking with the Manager before leaving. Super friendly. Ambiance is welcoming. I give this place 4.5 stars as both of my items were delish! I'll definitely be back to try the mango doughnut as recommended! You should check it out. read more

I placed my order by phone to the SoSF store since I cannot reach anyone at the Millbrae store. My calls goes directly to voicemail. I did it a few days prior so it will be ready for pick up since I amm coming from San Jose. I also pre paid the order but to my surprise the order did not reach the Millbrae store. Although the staff at the Millbrae store were surprised, they were able to prepare my order immediately after I showed my receipt. The food was excellent as it was before. The store was clean and has a pleasant environment. read more

My sweet tooth urges are completely full filled! This bakery has the most uniques flavors for cupcakes. Have you ever tasted salted eggs dulce cupcakes, ube flan cupcakes or matcha custard cupcakes? If not, you're in for a treat! These are just a few of the selection. I haven't tried the savory cupcakes but jalapeño honey cheddar is on my list for the next visit. The small cupcakes are a bit pricey ($5 each) but they're well worth it. I've been to the Binka Bites located in South San Francisco. There is always a line outside waiting to order from the window. (Much like a drive-through). The bakery in Millbrae is much better. It's super clean and there is plenty of room sit, to relax and have coffee and a sweet treat. The staff is super friendly. read more

Following a gluten free diet, I am so happy to be able to enjoy the treats from Binka Bites. I have been to both of their locations and been greeted warmly by the staff. My mother and I opted to sit down and enjoy our treats in the Millbrae location. It was bright and welcoming. The hot coffee and chocolate paired well with the classic bibingka bite. read more

This place has the best gluten free treats. I bought a few different items and they all were eaten up.

Been here 2x. Tried the Oreo freeze my son loved it! Also the mushroom empanada and beef empanada were delicious! Tried to order the white chocolate cookie ube but was told they don't have it, so went in the 2nd time and was told the same thing but w/ an explanation this time. The guy was saying it may come back in the menu ( even tho it's in the menu). Workers are nice especially the guy but maybe he has been working there longer! The place is super clean. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

The positive first. Glad there's a Filipino anything in Millbrae. Dropped by yesterday to check out this location as I've bought real classic sized bibingka at the SSF branch awhile back. The flavors available here were interesting and my husband enjoyed the salted egg caramel. The mini classics did kind of disappoint coz the cheese was so hard it took away from what a bibingka experience should be. I ordered six and paid $29. In my opinion, a little too pricey for mini Filipino street food. read more

Delicious food and lots of variety. Costumer service was great. The price is kind of on the higher side.

One of my favorite dessert places the cupcakes are so delicious and moist. My favorites are the binkies and nutella cupcake.

There Binka bites are the best in town and try the ube latte with coconut jelly. Their customer service was great and they're fast to give out the food. The ambulance is very pretty where you could sit down and enjoy your food. read more

horrible customer service, horrible online ordering system. don't waste your time & money with this unprofessional & unreliable business! 0 stars read more

My wife and I sincerely want to support local and small businesses, but $5.25 for a cupcake is a bit much. I can't imagine or accept that the cost to make one is even half of the price. Sadly the taste and quality doesn't justify the cost. Supply and demand will only carry so much logic. Sorry but no can do. read more

Delicious desserts (ube flan was our favorite) and matcha latte, excellent service as well!

This place is awesome! I was just passing by when I saw their menu by the door and I told my self I gotta try it! Omg it was amazing!! 10/10 would recommend read more

Not the same recipe or quality as the one in South SF. (I hope the old location still has the same recipe). The ube-flan babingka at this location was pale and less buttery. Also more mushy and wet. Disappointing but I hope they make improvements at this location and remain consistent and have the same quality. read more

Waited 30 minutes for two drinks and waited us to followed up our drink to make it. The cashier cleary see us waiting in front for our order, so no reason to forget our drink. It's so dissapointing. Ended up asking for refund and gave us one drink that's already pre made. read more
