If i were like 12 years younger and still very addicted to sugar, i could easily clear all the ube leche flan cupcakes but alas im old and i feel like i have to work out every day for the next month after eating here ahaha it's tucked away into the corner of the strip mall! parking isn't super bad if you go early in the day. we got the ube leche flan cupcakes and the turon pop tart. The cupcakes were soooo freaking delicious, and the turon pop tart was lowkey misleading. its like blended jackfruit banana and sugar in a puff pastry but it was still good warm. 4/5 for both desserts. milo cupcake... hmm it definitely had a powdered milk taste but my bro and i agreed it felt more like a milk chocolate cake than anything The staff helping us on the day of the dodgers parade -- you are so kind and sweet i hope you have a lovely day all the time. ambiance was nice, i feel like you could have a nice comfortable catch up date with a friend here, or study because they also had comfy chairs! support filo businesses! we'll come back again soon!! read more

Cafe 86 is always a solid stop when I'm craving Filipino-inspired desserts. Everything is consistently good, and you can tell they put care into both flavor and presentation. Their drinks and sweets hit the spot, especially when you want something indulgent but familiar. My only wish is that they offered more customizable Halo-Halo base flavors (e.g., Buko Pandan, Leche Flan, Ube). That would really take it to the next level and give more variety to an already great menu. Overall, still a favorite dessert spot and definitely worth coming back to! read more

Was craving a sweet treat & a Spirit Halloween visit! Hit up this spot and saw "churrochi" on the menu. Had never heard of that but I love me some churros so had to ask. Well, turns out it's a churro mochi waffle! Added a scoop of vanilla and it was heaven. If you're into Ube this place has tons of options that all sound tasty! I will definitely be back to try more. read more

I'm a big fan of Cafe 86 and have been to multiple locations over the years. I really hope they bring one (or a few!) back to the San Gabriel Valley. This Eagle Rock spot didn't disappoint, though! The staff here is kind and patient, which adds to the relaxed vibe of the café. If you love ube, this place is heaven--everything ube! This time, I decided to try the halo halo bread pudding (which comes with ice cream), and wow! It's definitely on the heavier side, but it was absolutely delicious. Rich, sweet, and perfect if you're in the mood for something indulgent. The café itself has several tables, counter seats, and even some cozy sofas if you want to lounge around for a bit. It's a great spot to relax, snack, and soak in the chill atmosphere. Definitely worth the visit! read more

This is just the dynamite destination. Anything purple here is a smackdown vs raw combined with the Tour de France and World Cup. It's too tasty and delicilious. And every single person working here is so nice and friendly and seemingly great people. I gotta get names down for future reviews, but the two behind the counter tonight were wholesome humans serving up greatness. Plus the very sweet lady who loves labubus and is so kind to everyone. Cafe 86 is a day maker baby. Let's go 86 read more

Staff takes and prepares your order quickly. Decided to try an espresso drink this time. If you like sweet espresso drinks this is an option for you. Tiger Tea- 10/10 Their tried and true. Thai tea and milk tea together with almond milk. Cookie Butter Latte- 5/10 Espresso flavor gets lost and this drink is very sweet. read more

Cafe 86 is a chain cafe and hangout spot conveniently located in the sprouts plaza. The vibes are good and they have space for studying and comfy seating. Food: the ube cookie was way too sweet for my taste 2/5, if you like things that just taste like straight sugar that's the cookie for you. The grilled cheese plate is a decent deal for a sandwich and some chips but I probably wouldn't order again as it's overloaded with cheese 3.5/5. Drinks- the strawberry tea is great! 5/5. The halo halo is tasty as well 5/5. Overall I think the drinks are fantastic but the food is just ok. read more

Needed an afternoon pick me up, and all other non commercial coffee shops within the area were closed. I would always see this place every time I'd go to Sprouts and remembered a window sign stating they serve coffee. Upon entering my sister and I were nicely greeted by the person at the front. Walking in you feel a sense of community and welcome ness with many posters for local events as well as other small knick knacks to observe and buy. Ambiance and staff were definitely the highlight of this location. Now onto the drink. Maybe because I was expecting something different or what, but this drink was not pleasant at all! We ordered the cookie butter latte to be able to try something different and interesting. What this drink consisted of was a heaping scoop of biscoff butter spread almost like peanut butter, with the espresso shot pulled on top of it, and lastly a whole bunch of milk. I usually can withstand coffee that's not made well or burnt, but this seriously did not taste good at all. As much as I tried, the thick cookie butter did not dissolve into the drink and it left a very chalky like texture in mouth. If I were to come back, would definitely make order something else to give it a fair review, but for now, I strongly recommend not to get that specific drink. read more

Grand opening and it didn't disappoint! Line rounded the corner and was worth the wait. It moved fairly fast and got our food in a decent amount of time considering the long line. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Food: Got the upside down halo halo and strawberry calamansi refresher. Both were good, but the halo halo was on another level. Highly suggested. Get the ube leche flan and ube butter bar. YUM! Ambiance: Loved the decor. Plenty of seating inside and a few tables outside. I got excited for the awesome anime wall. Definitely check this place out! This is located in a shopping plaza, so there's more than enough parking. read more

Came here to try their ube milkshake and pumpkin ube latte. I thought both drinks were just ok. The ube milkshake was a bit too icy for my liking. I prefer a more creamy milkshake but the ube flavor was pretty good. As for the pumpkin ube latte, I hardly tasted any ube flavor as the pumpkin flavor was more overpowering. They have a good variety of drinks so I will definitely come back to try another one. They also have bakery items with ube flavor which I want to try next time as well. The service was great! read more

all pastries are stale and looks like gets recycled for the next day. nothing fresh like the cerritos location. oreo truffles were dry and not the typical moist texture. ube cheesecake was so crumbly and dry; felt like it had been sitting in the fridge for days. tres leche also tasted slightly sour. eh, not sure why this location is still open. read more

I had bought a 2 Good 2 Go. What I received was delicious! Must have for Ube fans... Milk Tea was delightful and refreshing, with light hint of rose syrup read more

We had ordered a total of 4 drinks (2 blended and 2 teas) and a 3 dessert items. Got one of the blended drinks first while the two people after us got their halo halo first and left. A couple of minutes later we finally got the rest of our order. read more

It was my first time at Cafe 86, so I have no idea. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They have so much more just pastries, they have drinks, milk shakes, milk teas, coolers, blended lattes, & slush. The place is cute, clean, and roomy enough for a hang out. I was so full from lunch so I could not do a drink and dessert. We order to go to take the Ube Truffles, Ube Butter Bar, & Ube Crack Cheesecake. WOW, I love them all. read more

Wide selection of boba drinks, slushies and teas along with some food offerings. Based on our order I would go back as drinks were tasty.

Amazing food, amazing ambiance, great service, and lots of cool cars! I always make sure to come by this place whenever I'm in the area. Love it so much! read more

One of my favorite places to eat they have delicious desserts, and drinks. The Ube flan is my favorite and they specifically come for this. The inside is beautifully decorated, and the staff is super nice and helpful with great recommendations for a variety of different desserts. read more

Whenever I can find cafe 86, I have to have the upside down halo halo . It has the langka ice cream and crispy corn flakes - not traditional but believe me it's super delicious. Worth every calorie and truly refreshing . It's been super hot so this definitely hits the spot. I am so glad this is close to Alhambra . Parking is easy. Interior is nice , clean , fairly new . Service is good. You just have to be patient when other people orders a lot of halo halo - it's a tedious process. But they did inform me that I will need to wait. So I understand. read more

Cafe 86 is so very fitting in Eagle Rock, it's so authentic to the Filipino culture which I love. We had the upside down halo halo which was a 10/10 and the ube shake boba which was a 7/10. I'd definitely go back for the halo halo. read more

Grand Opening: expected some delays as this is a prime location with plenty of parking (or so I thought - need to consider the fact that Filipinos roll cousins deep to Filipino food/drink). Friendly service as always due to it being a franchise. Once again, floor space would be ample once the hype dies down. Good to see Filipinos always supporting Filipino owned establishments. Mahal kita! read more

The food service here is always super nice and friendly every time I visit. It's a great spot if you're looking for a chill place to hang out or get some studying done. If you're craving Ube or Filipino desserts, this is definitely the place to go. I do wish they offered non-sweet options for their teas, though--everything here tends to be on the sweeter side. Also, I wouldn't recommend the sandwiches. You're better off heading across the street to Sprouts where you can get a bigger one for just five bucks. read more

Parking: shared parking with sprouts and the now closed CVS plaza. It honestly sucks, so I can park in the rear. Full transparency I'm not a huge fan of ube or ube pastries it's over hyped. So this review is not about any of that. The churrochi here is the best of the locations I've been too. Also don't get it with Ube it sucks, always go vanilla for the best balance. 10/10. I go here exclusively for calamansi drinks. I held up on reviewing the first couple weeks since the soft opening because the drinks were not right, they were really bitter even after I mixed them again, some of them tasted like they had no syrup or sweetness. Fast forward a couple weeks and now the drinks are tasting right and I'm happy to say I go here far too often for a drink fix. I regular the calamansi juice here and sometimes the mango peach green tea. I've had the strawberry and dragon fruit calamansi is also delicious, but I've been craving more refreshing vs sweet/sour. A much needed addition to eagle rock, kind of about time really. I really missed the Pasadena location and the Glendale location is incredibly inconvenient and it's not as good. I used to have to go to Northridge for quality, but what a blessing in disguise. Service is good! Thank you Austen for recognizing me as a community healthcare member when I come out of work and always welcoming me! Appreciate you man. read more

Cafe 86 is the go to spot for all things Ube. Ordered pretty much everything they had available, upside down halo-halo, Ube cupcake and flan, Ube butter bar, and the Ube tres leches cake. All were delicious, but my favorite was the halo-halo and the tres leches. Cafe is nice to grab a dessert and sit down, but I just take my order to go. The service is great and workers are very helpful. read more

I recommend ube cashew! My favorite place to get pastries in town, it tastes better when heated up.

Came to have a light snack and do some computer work. Very cozy and comfortable place to hang out. The hibiscus iced tea was refreshing and just enough sweetness and the Ube cheesecake was so so yummy. I would so come back here for a quick pick me up or dessert to try all their pastry choices. The Ube pop tart is on my list to try! Customer service was super friendly, very clean establishment and plugs to charge your phone or laptop. I totally recommend if you're in the neighborhood and need a place to read or study. read more

Ube everything! Tasty fresh and exciting. Definitely have to be in the mood for Uber but if you are this is the place to be. Service was quick and efficient. Definitely coming back for more treats. read more

First time being here since Chowking ran out of Halo Halo. Love the ambiance very Gen Z vibe. Ample of sitting area, wonderful & friendly staff, and drink choices are great. Came for the Halo Halo and they were great only thing is that they do not have red beans in them (oh well). They have some wonderful desserts including the Ube/Flan Cupcake. If you love Ube well you're in Ube Heaven here. Def recommended and we'll be back again. read more

Nice cafe and friendly workers. It's a welcoming place where you and your friends can spend quality time--they have board games available for use. We ordered both halo halo and upside down halo halo. Very disappointing. It is not your traditional halo halo--no shaved ice, too sweet especially since they added frosted flakes, and it tasted like coffee. Pastries were ok. Few days old? Won't be returning. read more

I love cafe 86! I was so sad when they closed the Pasadena location since that one was closest to me, but I'm so glad they have this location now! It's the PERFECT place if you're a big ube fan and they have so many different desserts and drinks too. I came here to study, and I think it was the perfect ambiance. The music wasn't too loud, and there's AC and Wi-Fi too. read more
