The servers were absolutely amazing. They were very friendly and very knowledgeable of their pastries and drinks. My family and i have never been here before so we asked them to help us pick our drinks. I had the ube shake... it was to die for and the assorted pastries that we bought were amazingly delicous. No i found a to go to place for my pastries for events and stuff. Come and visit... i am sure you'll enjoy the food just as much as we have.

This place confused Google Maps. It's located in the back of a building, through an alley way. There's no place to park for it specifically; you'll have to park and walk to it. I was surprised to find the shop was so small but I liked that I came on a random weekday morning, so it wasn't crowded and I could easily find a place to sit whether it was indoors or out, despite the limited seating. Service was really nice, super friendly and helpful. I was not overly impressed with the stuff that I got. I didn't like Ube Bundt Cake due to the shredded coconut. Personal preference, hate coconut meat that isn't fresh from the fruit. So that ruined it for me. The Ube Truffle was bomb. +1 for free Hibiscus Cooler (Yelp check-in), which was also delicious. My girlfriend dug their Halo Halo because it doesn't have red bean, which is also a plus for me because I also do not like red bean. Their Matcha Monster was not awful- there was no matcha at all. All I tasted was Oreo cookies, which was delicious except I was expecting matcha, so it was a disappointment. I didn't like that they only sell certain items on specific days because your customers can't always make it out there in those days if they want something. I was looking forward to trying their Ube Flan Cupcakes because I love flan but it wasn't available the day that I went. Since it was my first time, I didn't know about the blackout days for different pastry items. Overall, still a good place, will revisit.

It has such a cozy vibe to it. The employees are so kind! I got the Ube Latte and flan topped ube cupcake. I forgot to ask for plant based milk and asked if they could use it instead. The lady was in the middle of making it for me and said it usually costs a bit more but did it with no extra charge! If I knew her name I would definitely give her credit! The flan cupcake was delicious as well and I highly recommend this place.

Great pastries and drinks. Really enjoyed flan on ube cup cake. The mango peach tea with lychee jelly is awesome as well!

Walking in, the people are so nice and it has a very relaxed urban artsy vibe the music they play is great and the ube monster milkshake is BOMB(add boba it’s magical). It’s a great place to study too. *update MATCHA MONSTER is where it’s AT.

Mm... lots of ube flavored treats! I usually can't find Ube around and this is my go to! The food is great, the atmosphere is great! Just a good place to eat and relax.

My favorite cafe to chill and enjoy some sweet pastries and drinks! They have a wide section of drinks from milk teas to coffees to milkshakes to my favorite jasmine calamansi juice, they have a few sandwiches, and they have lots of ube flavored desserts, some offered on specific days so make sure you check if you are looking for a particular one. There is free public parking for 90 minutes a block and a half away.

My wife and I love Cafe 86 for their pastry and especially their Ube monster drink it's really good. I really enjoy their Hola Hola bread pudding.
