Terrible experience, rude and unprofessional customer service, and too expensive. I ordered an Ube Monster WITH boba and they “forgot” the boba. I called them out and the lady just dumped the drink into a new cup with boba. It totally messed up the appearance of the drink and mixed all the toppings together as you can see in the picture. There was also like a quarter cup left from the old cup since the boba takes up space in the new cup and she just threw it away. What a waste. Also pouring the drink into the new cup spilled the drink all over the edges of the new cup so when the lady gave me my drink back, the cup was all sticky and gross. Terrible service. To top things off, the straw they gave me was broken and cut my lips. This stupid drink cost me nearly $11 and didn’t even taste good. Boba costs $1.05. Other places are only $0.5. Drive to Concord and get a taro smoothie from 85C for half the price and is infinitely better. This place is 0/5 stars.

If you love Ube this is your spot. They’ve got blended drinks and pastry items. Ube halo halo, Ube cheesecake, Ube Butter Bar, Ube Tres Leches and more! So bring it my first time I tried each dessert. I loved everything. Even though all items were Ube themed, you can still distinguish each dessert separately. My favorite of all I think is the Ube Crack Cheesecake. I love the richness is balance with the almond topping, I think it goes well together. And the size is perfect. Price: I think they priced the items well considering the size. It’s not too pricey. Ambiance: it cute! It’s not too big. Love toy collection decor (though I thought they were for sale, but it’s not)! The line: there were only three people ahead of me but it was still a bit of wait. I was surprised considering how many people were working there. But, I think it was because people were ordering a lot. I only noticed on register as well. But overall experience was good! Until next time…

I first heard about Cafe 86 years ago when they only had locations in Southern California, so I was thrilled to discover they opened a location near me. My visit exceeded all expectations. I ordered the halo halo, which they serve in two delightful ways: the traditional kind with evaporated milk and a unique version with an ube ice cream mixture. Both were exceptional, offering a perfect blend of flavors and textures. Being an ube enthusiast, I couldn’t resist trying their ube crinkle, ube cupcake flan, ube cheesecake, and ube bar. Each item was absolutely delicious, with the rich, creamy ube flavor shining through in every bite. The employee who assisted us was both diligent and friendly, adding to the pleasant experience. I’m so glad Cafe 86 has expanded and can’t wait to visit again to try more of their delectable offerings. Highly recommend!
