Cafe 86 - Northridge

Folks, we come here TOO OFTEN. We drive from Culver City for the uber goodness this Cafe 86 delivers time and again. The Truffles? A must. The lattes? Dreamy and creamy. Pop tarts? Fun and tasty. Cupcakes? Get 2.

We went to have dessert. Cozy place, excellent service, good food. It is a nice, relaxing place for students and gen zs, not much for those in the 60s and 70s. It's worth a try. We enjoyed the starters and upside down halo halo.

The halo-halo is too sweet and non traditional. The baked goods are so sweet that we are not able to eat despite the small size. Too expensive for the value of the food being sold. Atmosphere is not relaxed.

Only think not great is the metal chair. The edges of the back of the chair dig into you. I went Sat 08/02/25 and they were giving away free matcha pandan lattes. I got the halo halo bread pudding, came with ibe ice cream, and ate it there. So GOOD. Took a ube lecha flan cupcake to go that I had today, and it was so moist and thick and good!!!!

The desserts here are reaaallly good. I ordered the Matcha Monster and the Ube Butter Bar. My friend ordered the upside down halo-halo. The tastes of their desserts are consistent as to what I had before. It’s very good that I had a to go ube leche flan cupcake. Try ‘em all while in LA! Also, the place has a chill ambiance to spend time with friends and loved ones and the staff are very nice.😊 i would definitely come back here.
