Both the taro cold brew and taro boba shake were delicious! Taro cold brew has a good balance of sweetness and bitterness from the coffee. Taro shake was rich and creamy.

Ordered a birthday cake for my daughter not only they accept my last minute order. It was also delicious cake not dry. I can just imagine if I order in advance what our cake will look like.

First visit was today. We wanted something sweet but wasn't sure what we wanted. So we popped inside Kape! The crinkle cookies are SOOOOOO good. Glad we went in to give it a try. Anytime I'm looking for a little something sweet I'll come by. Service is amazing! Everyone was super friendly and service was fast. 10/10 would recommend!!!

During our morning visit, they were selling day-old baked treats for 50% off so I got to try a variety of crinkle cookies - Birthday cake, Biscoff cookie, strawberry shortcake & chocolate fudge as well as some Smores Cookies. Enjoyed the Biscoff Crinkle (not too sweet) and Chocolate Fudge Crinkle (chocolaty goodness and also wasn't sweet for my taste). Didn't care for the S'mores or the Birthday Cake crinkle, it was okay and a tad bit sweet according to hubby. I'm told, with the discounted crinkles, they're best eaten for up to 2-3 days for texture & flavor.

I have had my eye on Kape Republic for some time now and I was pretty excited to see them on the map when we were in the area. My sweet boyfriend drove me over and let me indulge to my heart's content. We had the Halo Halo Shake ($6.25), Baked Turon ($2.75) and Ube Crinkle ($2.50). I would have ordered more but the other items I wanted would need to be refrigerated or consumed immediately. I thought the prices were reasonable, but I'm annoyed by this HIDDEN 3% credit card surcharge. They didn't mention anything about it. I had more than enough cash on hand that I would have used it had I known there was a credit card surcharge. How annoying. We ate the halo halo immediately. The scoop of ube ice cream was smaller than other halo halos, and sadly that is one of my favorite ingredients. It was strangely not that cold like it was melting on the spot. The rice crispies were already soggy, so the texture was lacking. The jellys and fruits were average but something felt like it was missing. It tasted more milky than anything. I prefer the halo halo from Cafe 86, Goldilocks or even the franchised JollyBee more than this halo halo. We saved the baked goods for the evening. The turon was surprisingly bland and there was not that much filling of plantain and jackfruit. The ube crinkle was probably my favorite item we got, but not enough to drive back to this area for no other purpose. A part of me wonders if their original location is better.

On our most recent visit, we were greeted by the owner which I didn't realize until my keen husband pointed it out. But this visit warmed my heart and it does look like changes did happen from our last visit. The crinkles were more fresh, the service was spectacular and we even saw some new items that we didn't see previously. We got a 4" ube cake for my brother's bday, a vanilla iced coffee (delicious! btw) a strawberry crinkle, 2 cupcakes (calamari and pandan) and a complimentary ube brownie! What a great way to start the week ;) The Ube cake itself was delicious and moist. You can really taste the Ube flavor, however the icing was a bit too sweet for my liking. The calamansi and pandan cupcakes were a bit dry and the strawberry crinkle was better than before. The Ube brownie was a little thin, then I'm used to - but it was satisfying!

My dad introduced me to Kape Republik and said I needed to try their Halo-Halo because it is one of the best he's tried in SoCal. He was right! The Halo-Halo was one of the best I've had! The ice was fine, the beans weren't hard, it has chewy boba, Ube halaya, jackfruit, an assortment of other mix-ins, and it's topped with a scoop of Ube ice cream and crunchy pinipig. It's a little sweet but it's such a great treat. (Note: The 2nd time I ordered, it didn't have Ube Halaya). I also enjoyed their Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookie - so chewy and good. They have a variety of crinkles (pandan, strawberry, mocha, guava, etc.) but my favorite is the Chocolate Fudge Crinkle. I also enjoyed their Calamansi Juice. Kape Republik is located just west of the 15 and south of the 60 in Ontario Ranch/Eastvale across the parking lot from Rodeo X. They have a handful of parking spaces at storefront shared with Rodeo X. This cute little shop is inviting. The service here has always been great. The young lady at the counter is super sweet and so kind. She has such a welcoming and friendly smile! Overall, I've visited a few times now and will be back again. Especially for yummy Halo-Halo! :)
