    Recently been introduced to the location. We loved the first experience and headed today to this location after a hike nearby. Pleasant experience once again and was surprised with a Mother's Day treat-- so sweet! Everything we have tried so far is yummy. We brought home extra sweets for the week. Place is consistently clean and staff is consistently nice.

    4.5 stare Located in a small strip center. Other business are 7-11, Los Altos Taqueria, Sri Lakshmi vegetarian restaurant. it's on the corner of Dixon Rd and Millmont in Mi,pitas. A friend told me about this little bakery. It was new to me, but found out they had other Bay Area locations and I saw a YOUTUBE blogger said they actually started in Southern California. My friend recommended the Ube butter bars and also mentioned desserts with an Ube forward names. But they also had other items like Filipino halo halo etc. Staff was friendly and accommodating and basically you walk in and you order from a tablet and then dessert is brought to the front and bagged. Very simple concept it allows people to come in and come out quickly. Almost $59.00 total, the first time order consisted of: (see picture) Leche flan cupcake Ube butter bars Ube cheesecake Ube tres leche cake Turon pop tart Halo Halo (ice dessert) Peach mango tea w/ boba (pearls) All in all, it's for someone who adors Ube. Just in case you've never heard of UBE. it is a Filipino purple sweet potato that's commonly used in desserts and I'm told a few savory dishes. Think of Americans orange sweet potatoes for both desserts and savory dishes. It's worth a drive by. :)

    Flan cupcake + ube tres leches

    The last I had Cafe 86 was when I was in So-Cal and that was many years ago and I had forgotten about this chain until recently. We ordered the ube tres leches, flan with ube cupcake, and turon poptart. The ube tres leches was almost perfection aside from the icing tasting chalky. The flan was great but the cupcake was dense. The turon poptart was amazing. It was slightly busy and we had already waited nearly half an hour for our to-go order. We regretted asking to heat up the poptart since the staff ended up forgetting and we waited an additional 5 minutes.

    One of the best ube halo halo in the South Bay. The upside down halo halo is one of the most popular dessert drinks at this spot. This cafe specializes in ube desserts. Come check them out.

    Cafe 86 never disappoints! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is friendly and attentive. Their desserts and drinks are absolutely delicious, with the ube flavors standing out as some of the best I've had. Everything tasted fresh, beautifully presented, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. Whether you're stopping by for a quick treat, coffee, or dessert with friends and family, Cafe 86 is definitely worth the visit. The quality, consistency, and excellent customer service keep me coming back. If you're an ube lover--or even if you're trying it for the first time--this place is a must-visit.

    Stirred House Milk Tea + boba

    I stumbled upon this Cafe 86 location while driving around Milpitas. The parking lot is small for all the businesses in this strip mall. The cafe is decorated like their other locations. A couch, window seating, and several small tables to sit at. One unisex restroom with code lock. Order via kiosk or cashier. House music playing. The service was warm and friendly! House Milk Tea (less ice and less sweet, +$ boba) - the boba was nice, soft, and chewy. The milk tea was good (4/5). Ube Crinkle Cookie (4/5) - light, soft, cake-like cookie dusted with powdered sugar. Support your local business.

    Ube monster milkshake
    Julia L.

    12/28/2025. Bought w friends off door dash. Was see in the very pricy side since it's door dash. Prices will be based on their website Got the ube monster milkshake w boba 24 oz ($9.5) Which was an additional +1.05. There were def some ube flavors and I think it worked well w the Oreos inside. The boba was decently chewy but a bit bland. However, it was pricy for this drink and especially when I got an allergy reaction to it. I didn't drink or eat anything else since consuming this particular drink at 2 pm and now it's 8 pm, got some minor hives (allergy). I am allergic to un-fresh seafood, dust, food coloring, some animal fur... but this is odd. If the Ube is fresh w no additive or food coloring, it should not have affected me... thus. I am deeply questioning the quality of the drink and the high prices. The Ube crinkles ($4.5) was slightly disappointing. As u can see it was small but good to taste. Despite the red flag of the extreme purple Ube drink, I tried it since this shop is well known for its Ube food and drink. Plus, Ube is naturally very purple. Unfortunately, the expectation was too high and fell w disappointment. But the food wasn't too bad, just minor stuffs w/ allergy reaction. Prob not my goto spot + the distance. Overall 3.5/5

    Milk tea, Ube Matcha Latte and Ube cookies!  Onolicious!
    Debbie D.

    If you love all things Ube this is the best place for it! I had the Ube matcha latte and Ube cookies. Both were amazing and delicious! The staff is very friendly and the service was great considering the place was packed on a Sunday afternoon. The vibe was energetic with lots of family and friends hanging out. I will definitely be back to try more Ube inspired drinks and desserts.

    Halo halo and upside down halo halo
    Kristine S.

    Came here cause I was wanting halo halo and it was just average. We ordered in the self kiosk but it took 30 mins to get our order. Those who ordered after us got their order first. Limited seating but if there's big groups it can get loud. As far as the halo halo, I miss the traditional one. The corn flakes replace the pinipig which was ok. The other toppings just not tasting the same. Miss the beans. There was like a bitter taste after each bite, not sure where it came from. I did enjoy the ube ice cream on top. Flan could be creamier. The upside down halo halo good concept but still it misses the traditional halo halo taste.

    Ube monster mini, Thai tea monster
    Heather T.

    First time coming to Cafe 86. My family tried the Ube Monster mini and Thai tea monster. Very delish and delightful. Enjoyed the vibes and the drink! The place was very clean and presentable to hang out with family for Ube sweets. Customer service was friendly. Will be back to try more from the Menu next time My son rated his Ube monster mini 10/10 My bf rated his Ube monster mini 9/10 Myself with the Thai monster 9/10 Milkshake isn't watered down and can taste the flavors and Oreo cookie in the drinks. Yum! Def better than any Ube drink/ Thai tea I've had in a long time.

    We came for to try their drinks and we got the nutella iced latte with oatmilk and it was perfectly sweetened without it being overly sweet. I love the uniqueness of the nutella flavor and would definitely get this latte again! This place had a warm smell and good amount of seating to spot and eat in. They had a nice selection of bakery items too to choose from!

    Love the selection they have. I got the lecheflan cupcake, ube krinkle cookie and calamansi drink. I think my favorite was the leche flan cupcake. I want to try more of their other goodies. Quick and easy service. You can order at the register or a kiosk. Really nice customer service

    Menu as of 11/2/2025

    Staff is welcoming and friendly! You can either order on the kiosk or with staff member! Lots of variety baked goods from ube leche flan to ube tres leches to halo halo bread pudding! There is a variety of drinks to choose from as well which is nice! A few tables inside to sit, inside and there is a restroom available. There is plenty of parking available too!

    I was shopping around 99 Ranch Market and noticed Cay Cafe in the food court so I decided to give…read moreit a try. I ordered their BBQ pork banh mi with a fried egg and it was smackin. The bread had a good texture the pork was flavorful and the fried egg tied everything together perfectly. It's my go-to order. I also ordered their iced vietnamese coffee and it was great. Strong, smooth, and just enough sweetness. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and gave good service. You can even do a self order too. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    I've ordered from Cay Cafe many times since they opened, always the combination banh mi, but I…read moregotta say, the last two visits have been disappointing. First, their bread used to be soft, fluffy, with a nice crisp on the outside. Last time I ordered, it tasted very stale with a very hard shell (the ones that will rip the roof of your mouth). This time, the bread again was stale and dry, the color looked undercooked, and the shell was very hard. The only way I've been able to eat it is by breaking the shell off. I know they mentioned they make their bread fresh daily, and both times I've gotten the banh mi around noon, so either I got older bread, the recipe changed, or it's been sitting out too long? Second, the amount of meat has decreased. It used to be so full! I also noticed the ham that used to be pink/red is a weird brown/yellow color, a bit off-putting but I ate it anyway. I'll probably try it again one more time in a month to determine if I need to find another banh mi spot. Note: For the picture reference, I did squeeze the sandwich down a little to break the shell off in pieces.

That alone tells you how long I've been supporting this place, and they've been consistently amazing ever since. Sourdough & Co across from Kaiser in Fremont is hands down one of my favorite spots. The food is always fresh, delicious, and comes out quickly, but what truly makes this place special is the people. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. Every time I walk in, I'm greeted with a smile, they know me by name, and they always make me feel appreciated (even got a free coke and soup) Thank you! That kind of genuine hospitality is rare. They've even surprised me with small freebies from time to time, which really shows how much they value their customers. Because of that, I've been more than happy to support them, I regularly recommend them to my staff and coworkers and encourage everyone to grab lunch here. If you're looking for great food, fast service, and genuinely good people, this is the place to go. They truly deserve all the support. Highly recommend!

My mom had the tuna salad sandwich and my dad and I had the garlic pesto turkey sandwich. It was the most delicious sandwiches we have ever had. Omar the owner and his brother were really kind and patient with going over things on the menu and helped us curate a sandwich that we loved I am definitely coming back. Also, their cookies are top notch. Must try!

    Something made me think about Katz's Delicatessen in NYC and I suddenly craved a Pastrami sandwich…read more I was excited to find Mirchi nearby and a locally beloved pastrami with interesting ingredients. Location is near the Mirchi cafe on Fremont Blvd in the plaza right next to Wonderland smoke shop. There is plenty of parking. Staff was super nice and helped me open the stuck door that you have to pull really hard on to get in. The market is small but curated and I was drawn to the imported potato chips. I picked up a bag of Lay's Masala chips I haven't had since I was in Mumbai, excited to eat it with my sandwich. The sandwich took about 10 minutes to make and panini-press and smelled delicious. However, when I got home I immediately noticed the color and thought they had mistakenly used roast beef. I looked at some of the other reviews and their doordash image and I'm confused on what I got. The pastrami was missing the distinct reddish-pink color from brining and black bark from smoking, I'm not sure how it was prepped in-house but it tasted like roast beef. I did enjoy the blueberry jam and pepperoncini combo.

    Got this place recommended by Grub with Mike so I decided to come give them a try…read more I ordered the mozzarella chicken and grabbed a cold peach soda. They are very nice and welcoming, service was pretty fast too. The sandwich is was warm and it's cooked panini style. The bread was warm and crunchy, filled with halal chicken and some sort of mild spicy red sauce. Overall very tasty, solid 8/10. (The sandwich needs be hotter so that the cheese can actually melt). P.s. get their cilantro cream sauce! It's really good and takes the sandwich up a level. The peach soda was $3+ and worth it. Will definitely be back again :)
