UBE HEAVEN I've been waiting for months for this place to open and it has finally arrived... AND it's only a short distance from my house. Hmmm... I think the Ube gods love me?. This delicious purple yam can be found in almost every item on @cafe_86 menu. They give traditional Filipino desserts a modern upgrade while maintaining the same familiar taste we've all grown to love; its creativity at its finest and it's absolutely delicious. We ordered the halo halo which is a flavorful mixture of blended ice, boba, jackfruit, coconut jelly, and cornflakes topped with a generous scoop of Ube ice cream and a piece of leche flan. It was the perfect refreshing treat to beat this heatwave. We also tried the Ube flan cupcakes. The deep purple colored cupcake is moist and fluffy with a mild coconut flavor. The cupcake itself is already delicious but once you add that firm, eggy, caramel-y flan it takes you to a whole new level of delicious. The result is a perfectly balanced not overly sweet dessert that will leave you wanting more (like maybe 2 or 3 more.. lol). So, if you love ube... if you love desserts... or just curious.... STOP BY! You won't be disappointed.
