Good niche chain if you love ube! Relaxed vibe and a cool hangout place. Fast service and the staff make good drinks. I got the upside down halo halo that has more ube than the traditional version and some tapioca pearls. It was delicious. More on the pricier side for a halo halo but this is a specialized cafe and they have various ube treats and provide a nice place to interact with others and decompress so I would say it is justified.

Who doesn't love ube??! This location is very lively where it feels like it is the first location. They seem to have more services like catering specials for this location, location specific specials and they want you to hang out here. The food and drinks are still the same from what I am used to which is nice to know. Plenty of free parking in the lot.

Honestly this cafe 86 is my favorite . The decor is top notch. They have some things that are like , if you know you know. I'd have some of these things in my man cave if I could. The service was kind and friendly too. Julie was really warm and welcoming. It's always a plus when you get great service with great food. My favorite thing here is the ube monster. When my sweet tooth hits this is what I want. The pastries are also good . Those aren't too sweet. Definitely coming back here as a repeat customer. I suggest you check this place out. Parking is easy as well in the plaza so you don't got to worry about that .

Always great conversations and new treats to order or buy! love their cookie butter blended latte and upside down halo halo!! got me some magnets from ube garage too!!

Ordered a matcha from here and the crack cheesecake. The matcha was a tad sweet for my taste but I had lowered the amount. The music was pretty good and they played hiphop. The staff were really friendly and helped me decide on which dessert to get. The crack cheesecake wasn't very sweet and it had great flavor. The workers also checked on how the drink was so I appreciated that.

Went for the halo halo. One upside down halo halo and one mais. I've had the upside down one at the West Covina location. Love how it's mostly Ube ice cream, hence the upside down! The Mais want not corny at all, no pun intended. It was just creamed corn at the bottom. No other jellies. Maybe if they put corn ice cream? Pretty good place to chill out. Talk over drinks and desserts. Plenty of parking! Service was service, nothing out of the ordinary.

Upside Down Halo Halo and Halo Halo.

Fun place to grab desserts and drinks! Cafe 86 does Filipino inspired drinks and desserts. They also have a few sandwiches on the menu: grilled cheese, chicken pesto, pastrami. Cafe 86 is a family owned chain and am happy that they opened up a store in Glendale and Eagle Rock, Ca. This location in Eagle Rock shares a parking lot with Sprouts Market and other nearby businesses. I never had issues with parking here. Good location. Service is very friendly and helpful.

Upside Down Halo Halo
Krystabel M.

I LOVE LOVE cafe 86. Psyched that the eagle rock one is open! Recently met the new owners Elaine and Andrew, who are super friendly and sweet. They are so excited to own this awesome shop. Why wouldn't they? Literally everything in there is so good. My top faves: ube truffle, mais con yelo bar, the best halo halo in town (upside down version), and the ube cheesecake. All of their shakes are also ridiculously rich and delicious. The inside is humble and clean. They always play good background music too. I also love now that they have a rewards/points system going for their loyal customers. I also really love the ample free parking in that plaza. We'll be seeing you guys soon! My cravings need to be satisfied every week

I've been wanting to go to Cafe 86 for a while and when I finally went, it did not disappoint! I love the pastries they offer. I couldn't try everything, but the ones I've tried are so good. I love that everything is filipino-based dessert and I love that this place is not afraid to display its filipino roots. I genuinely believe that this place also provides a good place to study because when I went, there were a lot of people working or studying. The vibes and ambiance gives study cafe! You already know the workers are all very friendly too!!

Servers are super friendly! They welcome you as soon as you enter their branch. Got our halo-halo and looked exactly in the picture which is definitely not a disappointment. Love their ube halo-halo upside down, but wanted to try the mais con yelo (translated as corn with ice) which is okay. I still prefer the ube. Next time I come back, I'm reverting to the upside down ube halo-halo.

Tina S.

Great food, service, and ambiance!!! The ube leche flan is the best-- the richness and flavorfulness of both the flan and ube will really satisfy your cravings for a great dessert! Plus the ambience is really cool and uplifting, very timely for halloween. Also, we met the owners, Elaine and Andrew who were so warm and friendly.

Halo Halo
Blanche M.

LOVE this franchise! Their halo halo is the best out there. Whenever we are near one, we make sure we come to visit. Their halo halo is enough to share, good luck trying to finish it on your own. It is delicious, but huge. This location has plenty of extra treats to order from. Definitely recommend

Cookie Butter Latte 10/10
Diana B.

Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Stumbled across this place based off of reviews and happy that I did because I ordered a cookie butter latte which was so perfect. Cookie butter lattes are usually so super sweet but the flavors were perfectly incorporated together. And I got to try the strawberry cheesecake that they had as a Mother's Day treat which so delicious. Definitely coming back here also whoever is into Ube this is ur place they have ube overload of everything:

If you're in a rush, ordering online for pickup makes everything seamless and efficient. Metered parking right out front makes it even easier. The coffee? Just right.

Unfortunately, the experience has been consistently disappointing. Walking into a coffee shop should feel welcoming. Instead, most visits feel cold and uncomfortable. There is rarely a hello, welcome, smile, or thank you from the staff. The overall attitude often feels bothered or uninterested, almost like customers are an inconvenience rather than appreciated guests. The coffee itself is decent at times, inconsistent at others, but customer service is what keeps people coming back. I truly hope the owner and management take this feedback seriously and focus on creating a more welcoming environment. A simple greeting, smile, and positive attitude go a long way. There are many coffee shops people can choose from, and feeling appreciated matters just as much as the product itself. I wanted to support this business, but after many visits and the same experience over and over again, I will be taking my business elsewhere.

The decor inside was really nice, gave very Aztec vibes. I ordered an iced Banana Oat Latte and unfortunately it wasn't the best. It wasn't even really a hot day but when I picked up my drink, it was warm probably from the espresso but also didn't have much ice so by the time I walked out of the coffee shop and take my pic, the ice was basically all gone. Walking back to the mall, it didn't last long at all. The drink was so warm and not cold whatsoever. The ice didn't do anything and it was very disappointing. The banana flavor also didn't tase that great, almost too artificial? I think it might be okay if there was more ice honestly. I also made sure to continue mixing it while I drank it, seemed to help tolerate it. IG: @ammysalamii

I expected more for an expensive drink, and not just watered down tea.

Surprisingly I have one been to a Philz Coffee a couple of times before and it's been years since…read moreI've been! This was also my very first time at this location, and I must say it was quite a treat! The coffee shop is conveniently located right across from the Americana, so you can easily street park or park at the mall and walk over. It was busy when I arrived on a Friday afternoon, but there were still tables available both inside had outside. The chairs are not the comfiest, but the shop is still very clean and well maintained! When I approached the counter, I was greeted by the friendly employees who were busy preparing orders. This gave me the opportunity to peruse their unique menu and settle upon a latte to order. My sweet tooth was in effect and I opted for the Tiramisu latte with oat milk and was asked if sweet was ok! I thought it was so cool how you're able to customize the drink as you please and bonus points for no charge for nondairy milk. It was very affordable at $6.85. My latte came out pretty quickly and I marveled at the cocoa powdered topping. It truly tasted like a dessert and was so rich and indulgent yet somehow I didn't feel gross after drinking it. The oat milk was creamy and perfectly frothed and the espresso was well balanced. I had a dance class that night and it gave me just the right amount of energy to make it through the class yet still manage to sleep fine that night! I will definitely return next time I'm in the area as a few other menu items sounded equally enticing and the customer service was so impeccable!

Since it was my first time, I placed the order online. So I don't mess up the order and hold the line by deciding what to order. The pick up process was kind of confusing cause there were no sign for online order pick up. I had to go to the register and ask about the pick up. The young lady who helped was nice and explained how pick up works. Appreciate the helpfulness. This location has both indoor and outdoor seating area. There are several tables inside and I notice couple of tables outside. Store was very clean and well maintained. They also had sample cookies by the register for customers to try which was a nice gesture . This coffee shop is located in walking distance from Americana which makes it a great spot to grab coffee after shopping. There is street parking available and Americana/ Glendale Galleria are another option for parking. I will be back to try different coffees , since the menu looks different than other coffee places.

My wife ordered the tiramisu latte and said it was delicious. We also tried the Italian pizza topped with arugula, burrata, and prosciutto. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. Personally, there was a little too much arugula for my taste, but it was still really good overall. The absolute star of the meal was the spicy chicken sandwich. One of the owners even came up and told us he eats it every day, and after trying it, I completely understand why. The bread was toasted perfectly, the chicken was tender, juicy, and flavorful, and the melted cheese brought everything together. It reminded me of an amazing buffalo chicken sandwich. Easily the best thing we ordered, and honestly, I'd eat that sandwich every day if I could. We also finished with the bird milk cake, which was really tasty and a great dessert to end the meal!

However, the woman taking my order informed me that if I only got a coffee, I could only sit for 45 minutes. At that point, I decided to leave. Unfortunately, this isn't a good spot for studying, and it doesn't feel particularly welcoming even for a quick coffee with a friend. Considering the business owner responded, it's also important to note that the restaurant was empty when I went... I understand a business owner kicking someone out when it's busy but it was dead. Good luck with your business!
