After I realized that not all smoking tigers are the same- some have the fresh baked stuff and the others get it shipped in, it's worth the extra travel to go to the bread factories. I don't think it's fair to review the food since most of it rotates so much, BUT... that buttery flakey crust of the chicken pot pie literally made me want to eat 1000 of them in one sitting. Everything is good. Literally EVERYThING is delicious. Just make sure you ask them to warm it up. Cause who wants a room temp bread when you don't have to live like that. In the time it took to warm up my pot pie, I was able to ask my usual incessant questions which were all answered with super chill and friendly conversation. The people are really sweet and knowledgeable. Always a good experience here.

As a ex Italian barista, this was pulled from a previously used and dead shot. The color and even the flavor did not even resemble a Brazilian/Sumatra blend. Unacceptable, disgusting, and just a plain waste of my time and money. Shame on the women baristas there who were working the machines to do this. I wanted to give this place a try while I was in the area since we have one in Garden Grove. Unfortunately that was a mistake, but fortunately I know not to visit the GG one also.

Goodluck when they are calling your order. It's so unorganized. They also suggest that you call ahead and order. But they don't answer their phone(even on a weekday) So I would suggest that you go around 7-9 AM. That way you don't have to wait an hour. you'll get them right away.

Its 85C, so I think most people know what to expect. I would rate this more of a 3.5 star but it's…read morean average asian bakery with conveniently packaged breads and pastries, and pretty good drinks. I think compared to the traditional asian bakeries in 626 like Kee Wah, etc., the breads are much softer (a little on the overly soft side). One of my favorite asian breads, the bolo bao, is probably the worst here or at any 85C - the flakiness that's supposed to be the highlight of the bolo bao is not even close to where it needs to be at 85C. But I will say, the bun with the coffee filling inside is spectacular, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves coffee. At night, the selection of the breads is extremely limited, but the place is still popular due to the large variety of drink offerings. There is a lot of seating and the place is generally clean and well-lit. The parking lot is big but it's always busy and may be hard to find a spot unless you park further away sometimes.

I can't even blame them though because how could you possibly manage a whole line of people with only one person on the register??? So after waiting an eternity just to pay for my bread and drink I had to wait another 10 minutes for my drink because surprise, surprise there was only one person at the bar area and the poor guy was swamped!! Management seriously needs to look into staffing this place properly. As a regular here I understand that this store does get pretty busy however 1 person at the register and 1 person at the bar area is just straight up unacceptable!! We customers have places to be as well!!!! Drink 4/5 Sea Salt Jasmine very good never really misses to be honest Bread 2/5 Berrytale and Milk Pudding were smashed and my Briosche looked a little over cooked. Overall not the worst Cleanliness 0/5 Walking into the store there were crumbs, wrappers, and napkins all over the floor. Not only that but the tables and bread trays were absolutely disgusting!!! Inventory 1/5 For a busy store the people who run this place clearly don't understand the customer demand cause how are most breads out of stock all the time by 6pm??? Overall 1/5 Between the disgusting lobby, overworked employees, and underwhelming inventory of bread. Whoever is apart of management seriously needs to be reevaluated because this store has truly fallen from grace.

They have this amazing taro pastry that's dark purple on the outside but very fluffy on the inside thats FURTHER filled with a yummy taro center! We bought it for our kids to share but ended up eating it with them as well. I wished I bought 4 of these LOL We had a few other pastries here such as their "bouche" and strawberry cheesepound cake and they were all solid as well. This is one of those bakeries that I would visit and load up for the week. Service was quick, professional, and polite. Decent amount of seating inside as well if you want to socialize or study.

For this first trip, I found myself enchanted by the more traditional Korean pastries - the sweet potato creamy red bean bun, the curry croquette, the salt breads and rice crackers (one of their most popular items they said.) Most everything costs between $3-5. What a steal! I ordered their new item -- a banana latte made with their own banana syrup and cold foam to go with a double shot of espresso. It was tasty though seeing the old timers with their hot brewed coffees and bean buns made me wish I'd gotten something hot too. All in all, I had a great time at Cafe Bleu and can't wait to come back and try some new things. There are lots of tables and plenty of room to meet up with friends or work or do your homework.

The Ube Monster is consistently my go to and they seriously know how to do ube right, not just with their drinks but their pastries and desserts too. Personally I think Cafe 86 has one of the best halo halo around. Even compared to a lot of Filipino restaurants and dessert places I've tried, this one stands out. I'd even take their halo halo over Chowking or Red Ribbon. Cafe 86 is basically what I think a modern Filipino halo halo and ube dessert spot should be. Not to mention always friendly staff and super comfy seating. Nice place to chill and catch up for desserts tho a lil small. They've mastered ube here and I love that they're bringing Filipino flavors into more modern drinks and desserts without losing what makes them good in the first place. I go back all the time and will continue to!!

It was nice to learn that they offer both kinds of halo halo in the smaller size. The only new surprise is now they charge extra to change the vanilla ice cream to the Ube ice cream. So this time we went with the original which comes with the Ube ice cream. It was nice they still let us eat in, but as soon as it hit 9:00pm, they went out from the back and told us they were closed and sort of pushed us out as fast as they were able to.
