    WHY WE WENT HERE: - check out the latest location THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located in the Empire Shopping Center off Lone Tree Way in between Slatten Ranch Rd and Empire Ave - located closest to Wells Fargo Bank and BevMo! in the plaza THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - industrial living room vibes THE MENU: - milkshakes - milk teas - halo halo - iced teas - slush - churrochi - add-ons - baked goods - blended latte - expresso bar - sandwiches WHAT WE ORDERED: - Dragonberry Calamansi - Ube Milk Tea - Turon Pop Tart - Ube Pop Tart THE TASTE: - Dragonberry Calamansi - very refreshing - Ube Milk Tea - similar to a cookies & cream - Turon Pop Tart - sweet; heavier on the brown sugar vs. the banana - Ube Pop Tart - mildly sweet - brother would have personally liked if the drinks came in different sizes - I would have personally liked if the pop tarts were crispier when rewarmed to serve to us (i.e. toasted) vs. soggy (i.e. microwave warmed) CUSTOMER SERVICE: - fast

    If you want a place that does Ube justice, this is the place you want to try. I've tried tons of places that sell ube treats and none of them come close to this. I highly recommend their ube butter bars that replicates the ube in the Philippines. Highly recommend this place if you want real ube!

    After picking peaches, we were hot and looking for something refreshing. My friend had a craving for halo halo and I checked Yelp and determined that there was a Café 86 nearby. Having been to their location in Union City, we had enjoyed their halo halo. The inside of this location was cozy with a sofa and chair seating section and tables bar tables along the windows. The display case of desserts looked delish, but we were here for the halo halo. They had an Upside Down Halo Halo, but we went with the traditional one. It had jackfruit, red and green gulaman, macapuno, boba, and other items, and topped with a piece of leche flan, corn flakes and a scoop of ube ice cream. I liked how they make it creamy with a coffee flavor instead of the usual shaved ice and condensed milk. You have to eat some of the topping before you can mix it up to be milk shake like. My friend, who ordered first, got her's with vanilla ice cream on top. The worker noticed it and apologized and gave her a scoop of ube ice cream on the side. Having had halo halo from different places in the Bay Area, I think Café 86 makes a pretty darn good one. I remember they use to offer one size at $8, but not it's $11 for a regular and $10 for a mini. For a $1 more, of course, I went with the regular. For a tasty halo halo, check out Café 86.

    It's always nice and cool inside, making it the perfect spot to cool down on a hot day. The space has a counter with high chairs by the window, about six tables (four seats each), a lounge area with a couch, plus a foosball table and claw machine for some extra fun. Restrooms are conveniently located on the side. Love how the menu is on huge TVs so you don't have to squint at small menu papers / they also offer QR code. 10/10 friendly and nice customer service. We went by closing time yesterday and never felt rushed out at all. My daughter is obsessed with the truffles--she orders four every time! They even have a deal for four truffles and a calamansi juice for around $21, which was kindly offered to us (though she declined). I appreciate that they share those deals since we wouldn't have known otherwise. We've been here several times and have tried the Thai Tea Shake, Upside Down Halo Halo, and Ube Cheesecake Bar. My personal favorite is the Upside Down Halo Halo--it's made with real ube ice cream blended into a creamy milkshake texture, with toppings at the bottom, vanilla ice cream on top, and even a bite-sized leche flan. It does get busy, which speaks to how good the food, drinks, and service are. This has become one of our go-to dessert spots, especially when my parents are visiting and craving a sweet treat. The convenient location with plenty of parking, plus the option for easy online ordering, makes it even better.

    It's an ube (purple yam) specialty store, how can one go wrong? They have ube-leche flan (custard) cupcake which is an ube cupcake topped with creamy flan. There's also the ube truffle which is a ball of goodness. I don't particularly like cheesecakes because of its consistency and how dense some of them are. But the ube cheesecake they have is light. If you're a sweet tooth, you should try this one!

    For all ube indigence, Cafe 86 is absolutely the place to be. I am glad that we finally have one here right close to home. No more travelling to Union City, Chino Hills and even Las Vegas for that matter. Ube Crack Cheese is where its at for me, decadent, rich, delicious. My daughter on the other hand loves their Ube Leche Flan. Do do not forget their Ube Truffles also. Pretty much everything is yummy at Cafe 86. I also like that they themed their store around the venerable AE86 Trueno, I swear one time I will roll into the store with my own 86. True that the prices at Cafe 86 can be a little steep. But indulging on their wonderful ube pastries once in a while is a money very well spent.

    So awesome to have a Cafe 86 here in Antioch! I love the merge of new Asian/Pacific Island restaurants opening here in the area. First Jollibee and now Cafe 86! This location is pretty big with a good amount of lounge seating. They have every item stocked and the two employees work quick and efficient. I ordered a halo-halo and it got made within minutes and it also came out perfect! I can't wait to come back and try more. The addition of a Filipino bakery/tea house is exactly what we needed in the city. It provides more flavor and options for everyone.

    If you love ube, you will love this place. The menu has ube unique desserts. They are all delicious! The desserts have just the right amount of sweetness

    Closed but it's only 6:37pm. Smh

    Hours says open until 8pm and it's only 6:37pm. Literally saw lights on inside as I was pulling up. Then suddenly turned off when I parked and see people inside. They need to update hours on yelp/online if they close earlier than advertised. I should've went to T4 first smh.

    Upside Down Halo Halo - loved the ube milk used as the base of this dessert, and the ube ice cream was nice too. The jelly wasn't mind blowing and neither was the jackfruit slices, which were so few and little. It could use a bit more toppings. Other than that, it was pretty good. $10. Ube Crack Cheesecake - flavor was good, the ube flavor came through and the cream cheese flavor also came through. The bottom crust was a bit too thick in my opinion but also had a good flavor. But man, the size was super tiny for $5. Therefore I don't think it was a good value. Ube Butter Bar - I had high hopes but the butter bar we got, while the overall flavor was pretty good, tasted like it'd been in a fridge for a long time. It didn't taste fresh at all. I was super disappointed. Not worth $5.

    Ube paradise. The up-side-down halo halo is a must-try. It is highly recommended to visit this place. The hype is definitely worth it. The service was top-notch. The staff was fast and very knowledgeable about the menu. If you want to hang out with friends or go on a date, this is a great place to go. Show your support for your local businesses. Their Ube pop tarts are a must-try. I will definitely come back to try other menu items.

    I've always heard raves about Cafe 86's halo halo from co-workers and I'm glad that they finally opened up a spot in Antioch. Their upside down halo-halo is so refreshing especially during the scorching heat of our summers. I love their shaved ice and the cereals adds more crunch to it, I do hope that they offer the option of adding the traditional sweet mung beans. We have mostly tried their pastries on different occassions: from ube leche flan cupcakes, ube bars, ube tres leches, ube cheesecake and my new favorite, the ube truffles. They are rich and so yummy! The only setback is the price, as we volunteered to bring their desserts to a potluck of close to 40 people and shelled out a whooping $190 for them. Was it worth the blood sugar spike? Definitely yes! But we'll just be more careful to bring it for a smaller group next time. Other than that, the place is clean, the staff are friendly and there's always ample parking.

    If you love Ube, this place will make your dreams come true! I've had Cafe 86 in San Jose and I am excited to have one in this area. The location is inside a plaza and there is plenty of parking. The decor is fun, trendy and very clean! The staff if very nice and friendly. I finally came to this location; it was just as good as I remembered! The Upside Down Halo Halo is my go-to drink! One regular is big enough to share with one more person. It comes with an Ube base blend, Coconut Jellies, Jack Fruit, Boba, Frosted Flakes, Scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream and Flan. It is the perfect mix!!!! It is also not too sweet and very refreshing! They also have many other Ube desserts! Next time I'll probably share the upside-down halo halo to try other desserts. Give this place a try! You won't regret it.

    The ube shake with boba was good, a little to sweet for me. Next time I'll ask for less sweetener.

    We usually stop by Sip & Scoop whenever we're in Brentwood, and we've noticed it has changed a lot…read moreover time. The place looks really nice now--such a pleasant spot to sit, enjoy your treats, and relax, especially with kids. The ice cream is always delicious, and we absolutely love their affogato. I was also amazed that they go by cups--we got a lot for the large cups, which felt like great value! I did want to share a small piece of feedback about our recent visit. In the past, water was available in small jars, but now it's set up in a larger dispenser. After ordering ice cream, we went to grab some water, but it had run out. I let the staff member in front know, and she kindly explained that they were out, which I completely understood. However, another staff member suddenly commented that there was no water and that if I wanted some, I should buy and pay for it. It was a bit surprising--not because of the policy, but because of the tone, which came across as a bit harsh. Maybe she was just having a bad day, which I can understand, but the delivery didn't feel very welcoming. I want to emphasize that I have no issue paying for water at all; in fact, I planned to go back to the car after ice cream to get water since we parked nearby. It was just the way it was said that didn't sit well. I didn't say anything at the moment since I understand everyone can have off days, but I do think consistency in how customers are spoken to is important--others might not take that tone as lightly. When I sat down, another staff member came over and offered my family water. If you happen to read this--thank you. Your kindness really meant a lot to us. Overall, we still enjoy coming here for the great ice cream, generous portions, and the cozy atmosphere. Sharing this as feedback because we enjoy this place and would love to keep having great experiences here.

Their iced coffees & ham/cheese croissants are delish too! They really are a one stop shop specially when you have guests in town. The people working there are so sweet too!! When they see me juggling things with my toddler or taking too long to grab my food, they bring it over or let me know it's ready.

It was a very unusual explanation, and honestly, I wasn't sure whether it was true or if they simply wanted us to leave. Unfortunately, the uncomfortable temperature made it difficult to enjoy our time there, especially during a meeting. Based on this experience, I don't plan on returning anytime soon.
