Customer Reviews

Found this place looking for Filipino food on Google maps. What a unique little cafe! the bibingka style cupcakes are really yummy. The dough is very soft, moist, and spongy, quite different from your typical cupcake. Lots of delicious flavors to choose from, and they make them fresh daily. We really appreciated they are overly sweet, while the flavors still stand out. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Ube coffee we had. The next day we went back to get a whole box for the whole family, it was a hit!

Drinks are sweet with fun flavours. Their little muffins have a pretty good texture and should be eaten warmed up a bit. A bit too greasy but still good.

Atmosphere is very ambient. The mango drink is the best for me. Halo halo is okay. The boba is a bit disappointing. Their buko pie is good too! I love their assorted binka bites!

It was amazing! Their cupcakes are super good, very flavourful, very light and they?ve got a bunch of savory options too. Would recommend 10/10

Kinda pricey but good. Looks like it's family owned. Food: I like the concept of having bibingka in a cupcake or donut form. My favorite is the Ube Flan bibingka and Salted Caramel. The bibingka cake is not too sweet so you can really taste the toppings. But I think the traditional way is better. Maybe because traditionally bibingka is wrapped with banana leaves which enhances the flavor. If you want to taste the different flavors, order the minis for $18. Skip the empanadas they're not worth the pric

Binka Bread Pudding and Oatmilk latte were both delicious. The bathroom is clean and it?s not crowded at all. Great place to work or study.

Loved the hot sesame latte! Lots of indoor seating, there?s a bathroom and wifi too.

We went late in the afternoon, close to closing time and not much to choose from. Only one flavor left, guava, which we purchased to try -- it was good. Next time, we'll go a lot earlier and get the others I was hoping to try.

Everything was really good and the staff was very sweet! Such a cute little spot!

Very disappointed ??. No ube flan. Bought the ube coconut pie to try. Warmed it up as instructed. The pie crust was soggy, has little ube flavor. The only positive was that it?s not overly sweet like the usual American counterparts. Also bought a churro caramel cupcake. Nice texture, not too sweet but no flavor. Nothing that resembles churro nor caramel. Mango Bliss shaved ice is mostly ice with sugar and artificial flavored mango jelly bites. There was, maybe, one tablespoon worth of real mango. T

Got Calamansi Matcha Latte, Sesame Oat Latte, and some sweet treats. It was good. Interior is relaxing. Excited to be back to try the hot chocolate and savory stuff. I like that they use coffee beans from Ikon, a local roaster and our favorite.

Love this spot in Millbrae. Very chill. Lots to choose from. Well cared for. The staff is very helpful.

We tried the binka cupcakes and sesame latte. The ube flan and mango cream cupcakes were delicious, but pricey at $5. The sesame latte was atrocious though?it tasted like oversteamed milk with black sesame. Couldn?t stand it after a few sips. Atmosphere was odd?very quiet, no music, and it feels like a hospital waiting room. Definitely not a place to hang out. Sad to say we won't be back.

I came in with my family for Mother?s Day and Raymond was super helpful! He was very friendly and patient and gave good recommendations for the food. The cupcakes and drinks were very delicious. I 10/10 recommend this spot.

It was very nice and a perfect sight to see when on the hunt for coffee. Very nice staff and good food?And coffee!!! ??

Great coffee and spam masubi. Amazing variety of cup cakes made from rice flour.

Bad manners and ugly touched his nose, then he made coffee for me (feminine)

Love the ube macapuno bite! Delicious! If you like butter mochi or bibingka, this place is for you!

Super friendly folks, yummy food; nice to have another Filipino spot in the area!

I?m a self professed aficionado in the bakery game and I have to say, this one tops the charts! Couldn?t get enough of the Ube Flan. Man, I?m coming back! ????????

Yummy snack and beverage. Happy to find this spot.
