Cafe 86 Artesia

Their Boba drinks were so good. I forgot to take pictures of the Ube sweets but the cheesecake bar is a must try. It was sooo good. The other Ube sweets were good too but the cheesecake bar was my favorite. And this place is dog friendly.

While in the neighborhood, I was craving a boba drink. So I looked to see what was around, and Cafe 86 popped up! So there hubby and I went. Parking was painless, and we walked our way in. It was a bit crowded when we went, but that didn't steer us away. I decided to get something different I usually go with a Thai iced tea) I went with a coffee milk tea. I was a little annoyed, though, because I wanted to get the smaller size but was told milk teas come in, the bigger cup size; ugh. Hubby got a caramel frap and wanted it in the larger cup but was told it only comes in the smaller cup size; double, ugh! We didn’t wait long for our drinks. I took a sip of my coffee milk tea and at first I was not feeling it. But after a few more sips, it grew on me, lol. Hubby enjoyed his drink as well. If there wasn’t an annoyance cup situation, I probably would’ve given 5 stars. They should look into changing that. Anyways, I would like to come back to try some of there Ube desserts. I did get a small chocolate parfait which was tasty. I’ll be back!

One of my Favorite Filipino modern cafes. The drinks are creative and flavorful! My go to is the iced cookie butter latte, supercharged. We tried the upside down aalo halo for the first time; their best seller. I've been missing out the whole time I've known about this spot! Lastly, all their pastries are awesome. Mostly ube themed but still high quality and creative. I definitely love this place.

This restaurant is a great spot for dessert after dinner. They offer a variety of flavored teas, halo halo, ube treats, blended lattes, and other dessert beverages.

I absolutely loved the ube cupcake topped with flan. It was perfectly baked, incredibly moist, and delicious. I also enjoyed the milo cupcake and the ube halo halo. I will definitely be returning for more!
