Binka Bites - Millbrae

I went here with my husband, brother, and sis-in-law. We were craving bibingka and decided to order different flavors! We hung out and shared our food. My favorite ended up being the Ube bibingka! I wished I got more. Their taho was really yummy, too.The place is very clean and spacious. Light music was playing, which gave it a nice relaxing vibe. Service was good, as the lady at the register was giving suggestions. We'll definitely be back when we're in the area!

Binka bites is a cafe rooted in Filipino pastries and influences in all their items, in particular, Ube, mango and dulce flavored sweets and coffee. Having passed by the spot on numerous occasions, I've decided to finally order here after moping around all morning in the area without caffeine, I mustered up the idea to yelp some options and binka came up. Conveniently, they also sold pastries so what better pairing on a Sunday morning? I ordered the Uber vanilla latte which had a mild Ube and vanilla flavor, while not being overly sweetened (preference). This paired really well with the guava and in particular, the biscoff bite I ordered. On top of that, we also ordered a nice beef empanada which was made to order. The empanada had a nice baked crust with delicious, perfectly seasoned filling. The service at binka was one highlight in particular. The staff were bubbly, and very helpful to any questions I had on items, and they were informative as far as recommendations after I mentioned being a first time patron. The store itself was very brightly lit, very clean and offered a relaxing environment for any folks looking to chat with friends over some cafe items. Parking is plentiful between the plazas underground lot and street parking, although it can get a little hectic. I'd invite anyone looking for some coffee and pastries to come try this place!

Absolutely delicious!Binka Bites is a must-visit for anyone who loves bibingka with a creative twist. I tried the Nutella, Oreo Cream, Guava Dulce, and Mocha Cannoli Cream flavors, and each one was amazing in its own way! The texture was perfectly soft and chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness. My favorite was the Mocha Cannoli Cream flavor! The flavors are so well thought out, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. Can't wait to come back and try more!

You can never go wrong with Binka Bites, never.My husband and I used to live in SSF and have done pick up many times, but we've never gone to the Millbrae location and I've been excited to come through ever since I saw the photos of their interior - very aesthetically pleasing and with their expansive menu, it kind of invites you to come through.So we did. The day before Christmas, we came through to pick up a dozen assorted binka bites for our family gathering the next day. We chose the flavors we wanted and there was so many good ones to choose from, I mean, that was a challenge, because they all looked so good. We also opted for one beef empanada and one mushroom empanada as we hadn't eaten yet. I also opted for their black sesame latte to try, but it wasn't the best in terms of flavor so I'd skip it next time. The binka bites and empanadas were good, though, and so was service. I'd happily come back if I was in the area again.

Arrived around 11am, about one hour after opening and there were a couple people inside.Interior is inviting and spacious with green plants and artwork on the walls, and seems like a nice place to study or work.For drink, I ordered the Manila ube espresso and both coffee and ube flavors were strong but I wish there was less ice. For a snack/dessert, I chose the ube flan and guava cupcakes. Although they tasted good flavor wise, they were cold and didn't taste as fresh as I hoped. Not sure if it's because it was an older batch and they didn't have freshly made ones but I hope to come again when they're fresh. I also wanted to try the mango taho but it wasn't available so I guess I'll have to come again to try it along with the other drinks, desserts, and savory snacks I'm interested in!

We always have a great experience at Binka Bites! The langka and guava are our faves but honestly all of the flavors are great! We are always warmly greeted and have ordered dozens for family functions multiple times!This last visit, the guava one really stood out as our favorite (not sure if it was because it was freshly brought out!). We also enjoyed the strawberry matcha which was a great balance of both flavors. We were sad they were out of the mango blizz but we will be back again!One minor critique is that we thought the taho and the boba was firmer than expected and a little more gelatinous. The syrup was good and not too sweet.

Discovered Binka Bites long ago during one of SF's Lumpia festivals and so glad I did. Decided to take a drive to their Millbrae location because well, it's worth it!The shop is bright and spacious. Looks comfortable to sit over drinks and sweet treats. Came here for their Classic Salted Egg & Cheese, so when the cashier told me they were out, my heart dropped a little. He told me he'd double check the back to see if there were any extras and ended up with the last two from the kitchen!Classic Salted Egg & Cheese - the OG, the classic, the legendary salted egg and cheese bingka. a great combination of sweet, salty and fatty.Matcha Custard - this one was kind of whatever, not too much of a strong matcha flavor Ube Macapuno - classic ube and macapuno flavorUbe Flan - those with a sweet tooth will love this one. I am a sucker for flan, but wish the flan piece was a touch larger.All of their bingka's texture are on point, perfectly chewy and bouncy but still a bit of a give to it similar to steamed rice cakes. Think of it as mochi and a steamed rice cake lovechild.Price point a bit steep, but for a delicious treat or as a gift, well worth it! Fingers crossed for a location in the South Bay!

I loved this cafe spot in Millbrae. There is ample free street parking nearby. The staff is friendly. I ended up getting a churro cupcake and a dulce de leche milk tea - the cupcake was wonderful and not too sweet. The milk tea syrup definitely gave me a sugar spike but to be expected based on the drink I ordered. Free WiFi and a great place to study/work. Not busy at all on a Wednesday around lunch time. The interior has a neutral aesthetic with pops of greenery (plants). I will definitely be back.

Beautiful new location with seating in Millbrae! I've had the binka bites many times and they are always a treat. Chewy and bouncy texture and the ube macapuno is one of my favorites. One binka bite is almost $6, so not the cheapest treat, but very yummy!

We love Binka Bites! This is my first time getting a dozen but we've tried a few before and they did not disappoint! No wheat products in the batter but some toppings have wheat like the Oreo or graham crackers, so cross contamination is present if you're celiac. The interior is so clean and always very welcoming. Nice jazz music plays and it's nice to sit and chat. The service is also amazing with very knowledgeable people behind the counter. They knew the answer to my questions about gluten and gave good recommendations.
