    Ube leche flan cupcake and upside down halo halo
    Nicole G.

    I've heard of Cafe 86, but didn't have time to stop by until now. I tried their upside down halo halo, ube leche flan cupcake, and ube crinkle. All three were delicious and full of ube flavor. I love that the upside down halo halo maximizes the ube and has a simple scoop of vanilla ice cream on top (with the piece of flan, of course). I just found the cupcake a bit dry. The cafe was completely full when I visited. I snagged the last available table near the bathroom. Groups would come and go though. Service was quick. The cashier was kind and answered all of my questions patiently. There is a garage with visitor parking or street parking spaces, all free.

    Coffee Milk Tea

    Wonderful customer service. Staff were very helpful and gave great recommendations. Their coffee milk tea was a hit, you get the full milk tea flavor and a subtle hint of cold brew. They also have some delightful tasting pastries. The Ube cookie & turioun pop tart had a lot of flavor. The cafe is a great place to also sit, sip and chat.

    So cool to see how much Cafe 86 has grown over the years. We used to visit their Chino location when they first opened about a decade ago. The menu was pretty limited back then and they were only open a few days a week. Now they have expanded a lot and offer way more options. We tried the Milo cupcake, Mini Upside Down Halo Halo, and Mini Mais Con Yelo. All were tasty. I normally skip the halo halo because I do not like beans, but their version uses assorted jellies and boba, and the cornflakes add a nice crunch. It was actually really enjoyable. Definitely planning to come back and check out more of their drinks next time.

    Matcha Pandan Latte

    A nice study spot. They have daily $3 drink deals so it's great spot for students or anyone looking for a spot with affordable drinks. I got the pandan matcha and it was good! The pandan favor was there. You can order at the kiosk. Service was quick and the store had a good amount of large tables.

    This cafe is ube galore! The upside down halo halo ($10.95) is my go to item. I really like how they don't use beans in their halo halo! Also tried the ube pop tart ($5.95), and it was pretty good as well! Kind of hidden, but very cute cafe vibes with couches. Great for studying or chatting it up with friends.

    Sweet treats!

    I remember the first time I went to Cafe 86 was in Old Pas years ago (in the alley by Burke Williams). I was happy to discover that they have opened one close to home in W. Covina! Great for all things ube, they have a plethora of Ube flavored drinks and sweets. They even have a new drink called Matcha Pandan - extra green (if matcha isn't green enough) for all those who want something to drink while wearing their quarter zips. I got a house milk tea, Milo milk tea and Mais con Yelo bar. All were great, although the Milo milk tea was not dissolved and still very powdery so I was getting chunks of Milo powder in every sip. Not sure if that was intentional? Staff is friendly, interior is cozy and relaxing and a would be good to hang out/study in. Enjoy!

    My friend and I were in town for a conference and she was craving halo halo. This place has an amazing Ube halo halo that is delicious! The ambiance is cozy and has a nice chill vibe!

    We came, we saw, we got milk tea. Loved my experience at this cafe 86 location. We came and got the deal at the time. I got a taro and my partner got a milk tea. They are always running specials. The manager served us and she was so kind to walk us through the menu. This is definitely a chill cafe spot with indoor and outdoor seating and has parking in the garage. It's not upscale by any means but it's a pleasant ambient vibe. You should definitely check it out.

    Place is clean and very open! They have wifi so perfect for studying. I didn't check if they have outlets, but there's plenty of seating. The Thai tea is solid! They give you a big size and it's very flavorful. The halo halo mini size was still very filling. There were still some chunks of ice so it could have been blended better. I like the variety of toppings, but I would probably try other things on the menu before going back to the halo halo. You can order on the kiosk or with the cashier. Service was good! They kindly answered many of my questions.

    I haven't had mais con yelo in forever. Theirs brought back happy childhood memories. My sister ordered and paid from their on-site kiosk. Our Server Grace was friendly and efficient. Our visit was on a Monday after lunch and the place wasn't packed. We soon got our orders. The churrochi was overly sweet for me. The halo-halo bread pudding was mish-mash of flavors that I am still trying to decide if I like or not. There are many seating options with two nooks that looked cozy. The work station was clean and visible to the customers.

    Best thing about this place, is probably their prices. It's very reasonable. Very spacious. And great parking options. We didn't get to try the food, but we did order the coffee and the Taro drink. 8/10. I was a little turn off by the color of my drink, but it's not going to scare me away to give them another chance. Service was very nice, nothing too crazy.

Perfect space for families with children, in the summer! It's a similar concept with Blossom Market in San Gabriel but way bigger. There's a variety of food vendors, which is great. Unfortunately, I was quite limited due to my food allergies. But I was able to get some grilled salmon from Kai Don. Staff here were friendly and helpful. I would recommend that they don't overcook the Salmon though, because it can get too dry. Otherwise, it was tasty, with several different sauces available. There was a sushi bar, with interesting rolls but not Japanese run, and they don't use Panko batter for their tempura...so it made the spider roll a bit too dense. For those that like burgers, pizza and beer, there were several vendors. I'll have to come back to try the other vendors soon!
