What customers say?

“ Really bomb upside down halo halo for $9.50 Good service and great selection of pastries. They do allow dogs in the building and this one dog was shaking its hair and scratching all over. The halo halo was delicious. ”

“ Visit Cafe 86 for a unique experience that will likely involve the purple of ube (taro). Many drinks, mouthwatering bakery items, and small bites. The cozy cafe has indoor and outdoor seating and can be a good spot for limited laptop work. Great vibe and excellent service! ”

“ Great service and excellent Filipino sandwiches, desserts and drinks. 4-12-23. Love this place. They make their Halo-Halo a little different by using cornflakes - marketing to the kid in us. The crinkle ube cookie is so delicious. The ube cupcake with flan is delectably onolicious! Ya gotta try it! 9-14-23: Warm and friendly greeting. Love the Ube Flan Cupcakes and Calamansi Hibiscus Ice Tea drink. 1-29-25: Today, we got the Ube Leche Flan Cupcake, Ube Crinkles and Ube Butter Bar. So delish. Excellent service. Cool vibe ambiance with music in the background. Cozy. 5-20-25: Got the Upside Down HaloHalo today for my wife. We were supposed to share it, but she drank 90% of it. Drats! Next time, I’m getting my own! ”
