    I was so excited to have a location open so close to me and hadn't had a chance to visit. It was one of my team members birthday and I decided to take a cake from here since I love them and they are reasonably priced for the size and quality. I wanted to buy the red velvet one or the mango mousse since those tend to be liked by most people. They have plenty of parking available at the front which is great. Once you enter, to the left you have what seems to be a coffee shop area that I don't think I had seen at other locations. You have your regular area with the trays to serve yourself what you want and the refrigerated section. It seems like you order your coffee in the regular line they just serve it on the other side. When it came to whole cakes, they had a very limited selection which was disappointing since I came in the morning around 9am. I was determined to leave with a cake so I chose one from the selection. I ended up choosing the mocha cake. I had never tried it and wasn't sure how it was going to be. Unsurprisingly, it was a hit with everyone liking it! It had a really good espresso flavor to it that balanced really well with the hint of chocolate and vanilla cake. The fruit at the top was very fresh and tasty. Overall I ended with a great cake for my team, but had to settle due to the limited availability.

    ambiance: it looked really nice in there! probably the nicest looking 85 I've been. went around 4pm and they were sold out of the hot dog and the egg tarts. I feel like that's a staple item to have. selection wasn't the largest. however I did get the brioche bun and that was very tasty, light sweet taste service: standard. nothing special

    I've visited this 85°C Bakery twice now and have been impressed with the service both times. I was helped by the same gentleman at the front on each visit, and he was consistently friendly and welcoming. On the most recent visit, I stopped in just a few minutes after opening. The bakery was about half stocked, with pastries still being prepared and packaged in the kitchen. We asked about a couple of items that weren't out yet, and the gentleman kindly went to the back to grab them for us. I do wish all items were available right at opening, as there was one pastry we were hoping for that wouldn't be ready for another 1-2 hours. Overall, a great location with plenty of parking in the Brea Union plaza. Both the pastries and drinks are very reasonably priced.

    nice little place to pick up some bread or drinks while you wait, if you're going to SUP. My brother and I were waiting, and wanted some coffee. 85 actually have some decent viet coffee and I would get it again if i was needing a pick me upper.

    A new 85 location, but now in Brea. They seem to still be learning the ropes since it's a new store, but at my recent visit, it was pretty much standard counter service. This location is much smaller compared to their earlier shops. Think they're opening smaller stores now to fill in the 85 gaps. But hey, an 85 in Brea is something to celebrate about! They had very limited selection of pastries and had to substitute them for whatever they had. They didn't have much of the savory breads, like the ham and cheese, so definitely missed out. Hopefully, they'll add more baked items at this shop. I ordered their BOGO drinks and got their Vietnamese Coffee. It was pretty good and was strong. Just the way I like it. Their cashier person was super bubbly and friendly. He was probably the life of the shop that day to be honest. The drinks station young lady was on her own, but was cranking out all the drink orders and was also friendly. In all, it was a good first visit. Will come back next time!

    Yippee- 85 Degree Bakery arrived at Brea!

    85°C Bakery Café in Brea (missed the closed Fullerton location)!! Giddy with joy! I've been twice now--once during the soft opening the week before Christmas, and again this week for the official opening with giveaways. I got a cute bag - yippee!!! The first visits was disappointing since it was very limited items and tonight was some crowded (expected for a new location), but the experience was solid overall. On grand opening day, bakery had a great selection, everything looked fresh, and the staff handled the crowds well. My only real complaint is the layout: the kiosk and drink pickup area is right by the entrance, which causes a bottleneck. With people waiting for drinks and others trying to enter or exit, it gets pretty crowded and chaotic near the door. Other than that, I'm excited this location is here and will definitely be back!! :)

    Review 6/365 Day Review I've came here numerous of times since my 1st visit but did make it on Grand Opening weekend Friday 1.09 afternoon & last day of Grand Opening celebration in the morning Sunday 1.11.26 I thought they were opening again @ 9 a.m. and wanted to try to aim for the Free drinks for the 1st 100 guests on Sunday. Arrived here at 8:12 a.m. to see barely a line out the door and there was already guest inside. Parked and realized that Saturday & Sunday they open at 8 a.m. Mee, my daughter and my hubby were starting at # 60 so we made the cut. I love the idea they gave us # stickers to identify what # guest we were for the 1st 100 to receive drink vouchers for next time visit. Associates were really friendly during the rush hour of opening and managed the busy hustle. Lines were moving quickly and the bakery cafe was in good shape, nicely stoked and presentably clean. This time the baked bread & majority all of the goods were fully stocked. We got our drinks in a timely manner. A new item i got this time to try. ~ Taro RoLL was ok, a friend of mine got it and recommended it. I felt it was a tad bit sweet along the taro filling was more like a paste. Too thick for my liking but then again, their taro items are like that. Much on the thicker side. ~ sea salt coffee in hot is good. It is on the sweeter side so I'd suggest asking for half sweeten. ~ Passion Fruit Green tea is good. Asked for 50% sweetness but it's still pretty sweet. ~ Tiger boba latte is good but a bit overly sweet. If you love really sweet drinks. The boba was a bit hard not soft at all. Disappointing indeed. Their pastry/bread are all usually yummy. Can't go wrong a long w the prices and their drinks too! It's really good. The bakery had a simple design like how all of the 85 degrees bakery were. We received a reusable tote with any purchase along a cute 85 degrees California design mug w a $ 25 + purchase. From opening to noon they had a chance to win giveaways w the proof of purchase/receipt. We got a bucket hat, backpack and reusable metal straw merchandise. Really love this new Addition to my neighboring city, Brea. TIP~ download the app to receive their monthly promo deals along earn points to redeem for freebie rewards.

    The location is the perfect spot with plenty of parking. However, this is one of the smaller 85s I've seen. There's no indoor seating and the drink pickup is right by the entrance/checkout line. Workers were friendly and the service was quick. I happened to go on the Saturday of their grand opening and even tho there were lots of customers they were restocking the pastries quickly. I'll def stop by if I'm in the area and don't want to go to the Buena Park location

    Starting 1/1/26 no plastic bags.  Any container will cost money.

    Finally we get our own 85 degrees bakery in Brea, when their own HQ is located in Brea the whole time. This location is relatively small compare to other spots. So when the other reviewer mentioned seating area was 5 spots, that's exactly what it is. I would describe this place as 85 Degrees Mini/express, but they do offer most of the bread items. At least 15+ different types to select. There are two stations for ordering drinks specifically on huge digital screens, that way you don't need to wait in the standard line with bakery item purchases. Bathroom requires a code... first time seeing that in the city of Brea. I usually think of Brea not requiring that level of security. Lastly, the bag rule is in effect. When they ask if you want it in the bag or box, there is a very small fee involved. I put the blame on the state for this goofy law and not on the bakery itself. I miss the "Fresh Bread!" Greetings from before when 85 degrees started opening their locations, hope they bring this back. This is a good alternative to other local bakeries, which have more of the traditional Taiwanese style breads vs French style or Spanish styles. Will return when the official grand opening happens!

    This is kind of smaller shop than usual 85°. Service was a little bit slow, but it was a very rainy day. But food is good as usual, and I got milk tea which was nice. There's plenty of parking at the shopping center. It looks very clean. Did not see a seating area

    Sea salt coffee
    Aurora W.

    Love that there is an 85 closer to me! Parking is easy in the big lot. The bakery is clean and the staff was friendly. The only thing is that the space itself is fairly small, which makes it hard to do things like standing/waiting for your drink without getting in someone else's way (near the entrance). Got the sea salt iced coffee and it always hits the spot :) a good selection of breads that I will have to get next time!

    After having lunch nearby, I stopped in for a coffee…read more The interior is small with four tables (two 4-tops and two 2-tops). I ordered a hot smokey maple latte. It was made with bourbon reduction, maple, hickory, sea salt, and of course, espresso & milk. Although I couldn't really taste the bourbon, all the other flavors were present from the sweet maple, smokey hickory, and occasional bursts of sea salt. Oh, and a great roast of coffee. This was a coffee drink I'd come back for again and again. The pastry case looked inviting but I was stuffed from lunch so passed. But dang, they amazed me with that smokey maple latte!

    Philz Coffee is a wonderful addition to the ever-expanding Brea Mall…read more I've tried their Tiramisu Latte. Surprisingly super smooth for an iced latte. Rich and creamy tiramisu flavor with perfect balance of coffee flavor. Not powdery at all. I've also had their Iced Mint Mojito which is minty and refreshing with bold coffee flavor. My new favorite is their Campfire S'mores. Great blend of coffee & cream, marshmallow swirl, cinnamon, and cocoa flavor. There's also marshmallows on top but haven't actually eaten them as I usually just sip through their lid. Service has been great. Baristas are super friendly. Drinks would arrive within a few minutes. When they hand the drink, they'd tell me to let them know if the drink is perfect or how the drink is. They'll also ask if I would like a lid. There's plenty of indoor seating although usually packed with patrons. There's also a few tables outside. I love their coffee drinks. Will be back for another visit.

    The Bottom Line Up Front: In a world filled with…read morecorporations masquerading as sophisticated boutiques, Philz is a growing chain that still retains a cozy atmosphere while serving up great coffee. I've been to other Philz, but this review will focus on this Brea location. The Drink: I got the seasonal salted caramel cold brew and it was delicious. Picture Starbucks' caramel macchiato but less sweet and with less acidic espresso. This Philz drink was smooth and creamy, with enough caffeine kick to keep me powered throughout the day. The Service: Our barista was very knowledgeable and offered a few suggestions and a couple of samples so that I could make the right selection. Grade A service! The Setting: Located in the new section of Brea Mall, this Philz location is a freestanding building so you have to walk outside of the mall to access it from the southwest side. There's no street parking, so you'll need to park in the large parking structure across from Nordstrom (currently...but they are doing more construction so this could change in the future). The Conclusion: As part of a franchise that doesn't act like one, the Brea location of Philz offers great coffee with excellent customer service.

    Vanilla Thesis is the best better than probably all the rest…read moreThe coffee is so tasty Not nasty or pasty Their cheese and ham croissant is also bomb better than being made by mom One thing to note about this place, the parking sucks. But fear not, you can go into the structure, park in one of the "employee only" spots, and just tell them which spot and you're golden (wish I knew that before I came and parked across the street). Also, another reason why this place is great is that it's not full at all. Might be because of the parking situation, but the place is near empty which makes it have a nice luxury vibe. Their Vanilla Thesis drink at 50% sweet is soooo good. It's a great blend of coffee and tastes great. You can totally taste the vanilla. Their ham and cheese croissant is also great.

    Discovered this beautiful coffee spot a month ago and fell in love with their seasonal drinks…read more(strawberry vanilla americano and strawberry cold brew) so we have been coming here as a special treat for ourselves and told and brought our friends. However, today's visit felt different. We ordered our usual strawberry coffee drinks but they weren't pink. When I asked the barista about it she said the syrup has changed. The drinks barely tasted like strawberry and we were disappointed. I immediately regretted upgrading my size to 20oz too. SO I looked up other recent yelp reviews, and I saw that someone posted a picture of their drink 17 hours ago and it was still pink. That makes me question what happened to our drinks.
