Really good people. I ordered a Jasmine calamansi and it was really bitter for my taste, so I asked the staff to make another drink and they so graciously did so. Shoutout to the 86 team🙏
We got some upside-down ube halo halo! And it didn't disappoint at all. The desserts were also ok too especially the ube leche flan..
This is a must try! I stopped by here after going to Trader Joe's. There's a lot of free parking, great ube drinks, smoothie,latte, cheesecake, milkshake. I am definitely going back it's worth the drive down there🤤🎉
We ordered ube leche flan cupcake, upside down halo-halo, grilled cheese and zebra blended latte and they are all affordable and delicious! I was just a little dissapointed w/ zebra latte. i was expecting a black/white drink but it just looked like a brown/coffee blended drink.
I love ube and would get anything ube here! I had the ube milk tea with almond milk, the ube truffle, the ube butter bar, and the ube Pop-Tart! I traveled a bit far and definitely wish I could order put the butter bars and truffles to be shipped to me!
Came in on Tuesday night 15 min before closing. We had ordered online so we didn't wait as long as it seems others did. There was a line and it grew even longer behind us. They were busy and the staff was working as fast they could. The service was still friendly despite the rush, which seems this place is always busy. The decor and ambiance was a bit confusing. The front of house was.. uhm not sure what kind of feel they were going for. Though.. head towards the back off of the front counter.. and WOW. The artwork was amazing. We of course had to take our photos there. Now, the food and drinks. We order the upside down halo halos, thai tea, ube truffle, leche flan ube brownie and ube butter. I rate the food in that order. Although all ube, all different flavours. The truffle was bomb. The thai tea was meh. Don't come here for that. But come for the upside down halo halo. We came from South San Jose and the drive was def worth it. Ube lovers don't miss out on this place.
Ordered plenty and so far, SO GOOD. Iordered the Upside down Halo Halo, the Hibiscus Calamansi, Mermaid Milk Tea and most of the treats lol. Upside Down Halo Halo...AMAZING. The cornflakes tasted so good and the ice cream on top, so good. Husband's Hibiscus Calamansi, refreshing, sweet, and nothing seemed to overpower each other. Kids Mermaid milk tea was nice, Jasmine notes. Kids inhaled the Chocolate coffee crunch cups and the Banana Langka cups were smooth. Haven't tried the other items yet (need to ease up on the sugar load😉) but can't wait.
I love this Filipino place! We were in SF for vacation and I made sure I visit them not once but twice! I missed their drinks and dessert already. Definely will be back!
All the treats are delicious. You cannot go wrong. You have to come here. We got ube poptart, ube crumble cookie, ube truffle, ube cheesecake, and ube butterbar. We loved everything but the ube truffle is a favorite! For drinks we got Pandan matcha and Dragonberry Calamansi.
Very good upside down halo halo!!! Perfect to share with some friends. The ube flavor was really good. The ube cheesecake is better than the leche flan x ube.
