    Such a treat, post dinner and any time! Everything my family and I tried was delicious and I love that nothing was too sweet. My favorites were the Jasmine calamansi drink and the halo halo, as it reminds me of the Vietnamese Che dessert. Kind staff here and love the modern vibes of this cafe. Coming back for the halo halo again next time!

    This place is really slow but you know what? Quality here is quite good. We know cafe 86 is all about ube. Ube cupcake, ube truffles, ube cheesecake and more. But we were here for drinks. Other type of drinks. We had milo milk tea (not our favorite, their calamansi juice, hibiscus calamansi, ube matcha latte (ok we had to order one). We went opening weekend and it was good seeing locals supporting the business. Inside seating is a little limited. A couch, some chairs, few tables. I don't think it sits more than 20. The bathroom is clean. Oh we did get a ube cupcake. Definitely fresh but a tad small. It was good But not delicious. Overall a great place for drinks, unwind and support local. Better buzz is also in the same plaza so definitely options.

    Calamasi Jasmine tea

    I love Café 86! And now that it's in Orange County it's going to be super dangerous for me to control myself. I went there around 6-7 on a Sunday and there wasn't a lot of people. I think they were close to closing. They're located in the corner of the same complex as Better Buzz. The inside was super cute and clean. And the workers were very nice. You can order with them or at the kiosk. I went there for their Ube cupcake with flan on top but they ran out!!! Hence the 4 stars. Instead I ordered the Milo Cupcake. Which was tasty and moist. It was about $5. To drink I got their calamasi Jasmine tea 1/2 sweet and it was so good! I love my teas strong and this one had a strong Jasmine flavor with a hint of calamasi. I'd definitely order this one again. Lastly, we got their ube poptart. It was bland and I didn't like their shortcake texture like dessert. I wouldn't order this one again. I'd come here again and again. It looks like a great place to hang out as well.

    Review 14/365 Day Challenge Super duper estatic is an understatement when i found out a Cafe 86 coming into my neighboring town! Not even a mile away! This is gonna be so so dangerous especially when i crave for my Halo Halo Fix and Ube desserts. They are hosting their Grand Opening celebration this weekend 1.24-23 w some cool freebies for the 1st guest in line and throughout the weekend, get a bounce back free drink coupon to return. I love coming here for their upside down Halo Halo. It's so refreshing and yummy. What we Ordered ~ Upside down halo halo $ 10.95 is the best shake drink dessert. Not overly sweet and filled w lots of jello, palm dessert and has Ube ice cream in the dessert. Love this Filipino dessert indeed. It's a must every time i visit Cafe 86. ~ Ube Bread Pudding is yummy, surprisingly light ~ Calamansi juice/tea is refreshing ~ House milk tea is good. Like traditional milk tea ~ The Mermaid Drink consist of jasmine green tea w Cold foam topped & sprinkled matcha powder. Definitely recommended Service was great and friendly. Got our items in a timely manner for the chaos of the GO celebration. It was packed! During us waiting in line for the Grand Opening the associates were offering small water bottles to their guests waiting in the long line. Also giving samples of the Ube crinkle cookies. Dj was spinning awesome jams. Playing recent jams along w throwing it back. The 1st 140 guest gets a free tote and a free drink voucher along w a bounce back drink voucher on future visit. They had raffling that will be drawn last day of the grand opening celebration for cool giveaways. I've been a long time fan of Cafe 86! Use to drive to Chino Hills or Cerritos for them. The last one i visited was in Tustin District. The owner Becca & Earl is really sweet. Husband and wife. Met them when I returned back a few times during the week. Becca took the time to say "Hi" to the guests and greet us. This location is in the Rose Imperial plaza where Chuck E Cheese is at and Better buzz coffee a few doors down from Paul's Country kitchen. Towards the back. Parking is good with a big lot.

    I love me some Ube and supporting Asian-owned stores. I am so grateful I don't have to drive far anymore to Cafe 86. It's a small space but they have ~4 tables with some usb/outlets on them if you want to do some work there. Location? tucked in a corner where Better Buzzed is. Parking isn't crazy bad because there's not a lot of restaurants in that plaza. Drinks - Their peach mango tea was actually really good and you can definitely taste the flavors and not have that overly sweet flavor to it. Desserts - they sold out half of their desserts but I would love to try their Ube tres leches next time. Their Ube cupcake with flan was still a great choice though and was moist. I LOVE their upside down halo-halo. Service - they were busy but quick. Their workers were all working hard to make everyone's orders. Janna at the front was so sweet and very personable even when she was so busy with so many customers. The team seemed like they were all working well together for only being opened not too long. 10/10 will come back again to try their entire menu lol

    Cafe 86 - Placentia CA - Upside Down Halo Halo Magic So delicious! Can we just take a moment for the flan on top of the ube cupcake? Because WOW. Ube Leche Flan Cupcake - The bottom is soft, fluffy ube cake. The top? Silky, creamy, caramel-kissed flan that literally melts in your mouth. And when you take one bite with both layers together... it's rich but not heavy, sweet but perfectly balanced. It's the kind of dessert where you pause mid-bite and go, "Okay wait... this is REALLY good." Pair it with: Ube Pop Tart - flaky and creamy perfection Ube crack cheesecake - creamy and delicious Place is clean and cozy, and very nice to hangout with family and friends. I'll definitely come back again!

    Pastrami sandwich

    Decor is interesting with a handful of labubu here and there. The tables and couch are designed for customers to stay since there are charging hubs. Water, utensils, napkins are self serve up at the front. Came here for lunch since I work nearby. They list just three sandwiches: grilled cheese, pastrami, and pesto. This place is mainly for desserts and drinks. It does takes some time for the sandwiches to be ready, but for its price and portion size for the area, it is great. My sandwich was hot and came with a lot of wavy kettle chips. Would be nice if the hours opened earlier than 12pm.

    Ube Monster

    This is a nice place to sit and have a drink! i enjoyed the ube monster and will be back to try the other drinks and desserts.

    Matcha Pandan Iced Latte, Upside-down halo-halo, Ube Truffles
    Shirley L.

    The atmosphere was incredibly cozy and inviting. Plenty of tables where you can comfortably relax and hang out, with convenient outlets available at each table if you need them. The thoughtful decor, with cute Filipino-inspired touches, made the space feel even more special and welcoming. Customer service was excellent--especially for a busy Friday night. Staff was friendly and genuinely helpful, taking the time to answer all of our menu questions with enthusiasm. The owner was also incredibly warm and easy to talk to. I love supporting local businesses, especially when they're run by people with so much heart and passion behind what they do. We ordered the new matcha pandan iced latte and the signature upside-down halo-halo and ube truffles baked good, and both drinks were delicious without being overly sweet. The upside-down halo-halo was rich and creamy, and the addition of crunchy flakes, flan, boba, and jellies elevated both the texture and flavor. The matcha pandan was my favorite it perfectly captured the earthy, savory umami of matcha paired with the nutty notes of pandan. The ube truffles was so moist, not overly sweet and had just enough perfect crispy exterior. So excited for this new location and can't wait to see how they continue to grow and improve. I have no doubt they're only going to get better from here.

    All the ube desserts are incredible. Upside down halo halo, ube cheesecake, and ube truffles are insane. Tried it last night and had to come back today for more!

    Wow a dream come true, Cafe 86 has arrived in Placentia! My cousin brought me to their Artesia location years ago and ever since, it's been one of my favorite places specifically for their Ube Monster with boba and their Ube Truffles. My sister and I came to their grand opening around 4pm on Saturday 1/24 and although the line was long, it didn't wrap around the building hours prior as seen on instagram. While waiting, it was awesome that they had a really great DJ blasting tunes beginning with Usher, Lil Jon, Ja Rule (the classics from the 2000s) to later shifting to Earth, Wind, & Fire, The Jackson 5, YMCA, and even fun Tagalog songs like Otso Otso! It was a vibe! Definitely was fun dancing along to other guests in line and just jamming together. I literally felt like I was at someone's debut haha! It made the wait fun and by the time we knew it, it was our time to order. We got the Ube Monster and Matcha Monster with boba then the Calamansi Juice for drinks. For baked goods, we tried the Milo Cupcakes, Turon Poptart, and Ube Truffles. Whenever businesses have a grand opening or special promotion, I always get adamant and question how the quality of the drinks will be due to a large volume of customers plus the speed in which they come out. However, after one sip of my Ube Monster, it was perfect! Whoever created that ratio has it spot on because it was amazing! We were even a free drink voucher for our next visit and we can't wait to return again soon! As for the baked goods, the Milo cupcake really impressed me! It has a whipped topping (which I totally prefer in comparison to frosting) and the cake itself was nice and moist, not dry, and not too sweet. Definitely getting more of those again! The turon pop tart was cool to try as it had some jackfruit in there too and the icing on top gave it a nice touch of sweetness but wasn't overpowering. Then of course the star of the show, the Ube Truffles were a 10/10 as per usual! Haha such great texture to sink your teeth into and love that outer shell of Oreos. Delicious! Highly recommend & still need to try a plethora of cool drinks on the menu!

I was extremely pleased that all of our sandwiches were made correctly to specification and they even included a great amount of secret sauce. I was so happy that all the kids were able to eat their sandwiches at the park, and all of the party go-ers were happy with their order. It's such a simple thing, but when you pick up a to-go order you're never really sure if everything is there, the order is correct, etc. but with Board & Brew it's safe to say they get it right. I am appreciative to your staff who worked on Monday February 9th around 11:15 AM. They were awesome, quick and friendly! Please give them my praise! I appreciate them!

I totally prefer Coke over Pepsi, but I'll take what can I get that's diet. They did have Subborn Rootbeer which I like, but didn't need the calories as the sandwich/chips was already enough.

It only took me five minutes to get to the store, so I did not expect my sandwich to be ready immediately. I checked in at the counter and was told they were still working on my order, no problem. They were not very busy, and were staffed with four employees that I could see. As I waited for over ten minutes, three different customers walked in, had their sandwiches made, and left. Maybe they had a flood of app orders, but at times there were one or two staff members in front doing nothing while I was the only one in the store. After almost fifteen minutes of waiting at the store, my sandwich was finally ready. The employee apologized for the wait, but it was frustrating to see several other customers come and go while I waited when I thought I was saving time by using the app and ordering ahead. My order was a regular size roast beef and provolone on wheat made Mike's way. ($11.95). I had planned to eat half now, and half later but the sandwich was on the smaller side so I just ate the whole thing. I would prefer a larger regular size sandwich for a few more dollars. The only other option is the giant size at $19.95. The sandwich was also a little bland, and it seemed like I tasted more lettuce than meat and cheese. More salt and pepper would have gone a long way. I love their Big Kahuna sandwich, but the roast beef and provolone sandwich and wait time today missed the mark.
