A real love letter to local culture with a beautifully modern twist! Bustling on a Sunday afternoon but still provided fast and excellent service. Make sure to stop here if you need a pick-me-up :)

Super yummy and great prices! We had the tocino pandesal and bacon, egg, and cheese ube pandesal - both yummy. The ube soft serve was the icy kind which we liked and tasted very much like ube! The calamansi lemonade was refreshing and ube latte was also good (could’ve tasted a little more like ube)!

It’s my first time going to a Filipino cafe that looks aesthetically pleasing. They really serve delicious Halo Halo. I didn’t get the original one since I always have it whenever I eat it, which is why I decided to get the Ube only version of it. I also like how big the Pan De Sal is since the ones I see from bakeries are usually small. Looking forward to trying other Filipino treats!

Tried Macs by Icky for the first time. Went on a late morning on a Thursday. It wasn’t busy when we got there, but after ordering there was a small line. The service was great, was greeted with a smile, it was our first visit and the young lady that served us was helpful and patient. The gentleman that was working was also very nice, as I asked several questions We dined in, the wait time for the food was reasonable. I had the corned beef hash sandwich, a flavored lemonade and an ube crinkle. All was delicious Will go back to try different things as well as the same things

The best desserts place in town!! Located in the heart of Union City @ Smith St.beside Filipino Restaurant “toppings” This shop is at the center of the building/Plaza and easily located at the intersection of the park. Ambience feels so relax,casual and it feels like home with more of a “purple”/pinoy vibes inside. The place is clean,organize and well maintained. Customer service is Top Notch! The husband and Wife owner/partner will guide you through their menu (food/snacks/drinks) There’s a selection/varieties of items to choose from.My suggestion is- try 2-3 items at once so you can savor the taste. I loved the Overloaded Ube Halo halo mixed with ube cake pieces, Ube muddy cereal mix,home made ube halaya (ube jam) and Ube soft served on top. I just wished that they have more “UBE halaya/Ube Jam not just a smear on the cup,other than that it is one of my faves. I also tried their fruity pebble cereal macarons-this one has the perfect quality and taste of macarons so please try their macaron,This Is what they’re known for eversince (Flavors can change ) Then for their Mac Nut Coffee/Latte with Ube soft top-This one hits the spot A must have A must try I will definitely will be back soon and try their other menu. Another TIP-check their Instagram for updates/store hours and MENU Make sure to register your phone number for REWARD Points. Bring your appetite with you coz you will be blown away Don’t forget to take a photo and share with your family and friends. Let’s show love & support

Music is a little loud but understandable due to opening day . OG Halo Halo was really good, just wish they would have layered the ingredients a after a scoop of shaved ice since the the plastic spoons aren't string enough to mix. Minty milky child like, had a real mint flavor. Son killed the smashed lemonade. Good new addition to union city
