This location is usually busy whenever we visit, which speaks to how popular it is. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and willing to assist. My only concern is that the internet seems to go down fairly often. We've experienced it several times over the past few months. Other than that, the overall experience has been very positive. read more

What Happened to the Choco Bun? Plenty of free parking. When you walk in, grab a tray and window shop all the pastries. They individually wrap these so grab what you want and place it on your tray. Once you're finished, cruise up to the counter. Would I Come Back? Yes, I keep coming back. I use to come back for the Choco Bun, but if they've changed the recipe at all locations, I'll only be coming back for the Milk Bun and Nougat. Their Signature Item: Egg tarts are their signature item. If you've ever been to an Asian party, someone almost always brings a box of egg tarts from 85-Degrees. But on today's visit. Well, just look at the photo. Someone stepped away from the oven for about 6 minutes too long. Choco Bun ($2.55, Grade D): The Choco Bun has been my absolute go-to for years--the closest location to me is usually the South Sacramento store and I tell everyone they have to get it whenever they visit an 85°C. Unfortunately, it's been about 8 months since my last trip, and the Choco Bun is no longer something to write home about. Milk Bun ($2.05, Grade A+): If you've ever had their Milk Bun with the custard filling, the Choco Bun used to be very similar in texture. Now, it's flat with super dry edges. Not good at all. Luckily, I also bought a Milk Bun (my usual second favorite), and by default, it's now my number one because the Choco Bun was a complete bust. It's so fluffy and sweet. Melts in your mouth. Strawberry Banana Smoothie / no boba ($5.85, Grade F): It was incredibly artificial-tasting--nothing real about it. I only made it through a quarter of it before throwing the rest into the garbage. My fault for hoping for a "just picked" fresh fruit taste, but this was honestly one of the worst smoothies I've ever had. Nougat ($9.60, Grade A+): The bagged Nougat candy is fantastic. It's soft, gooey, and packed with what I'm guessing are pieces of pistachio. Delicious, but a fair warning if you have dental issues: these will wreak havoc on your teeth. It's not quite as sticky as a Starburst, but it could definitely pull out a denture! Bottom Line: The staff here is friendly, and there are still a few standout 5-star items that make a visit worth it (the Milk Bun and the Nougat). However, the disappointing recipe change to the Choco Bun and the absolute miss on the smoothie knock this down to a 3-star experience overall. read more

Vietnamese coffee, in my opinion, should be strong, bold, and sweet, and I was pleasantly surprised that 85° Bakery delivered exactly that. While we were there, we spoke with another customer who also ordered the Vietnamese coffee. She asked for 125% sugar because she found the "regular" sweetness to be too bitter, but I have to disagree. I ordered mine at the regular sweetness level, and it was already plenty sweet with definitely no extra sugar needed in my opinion. In fact, it might even be borderline too sweet for some people, but since I enjoy sweeter drinks, it worked perfectly for me. One thing to note is that you cannot adjust the ice level for this drink. I did not understand why at first, but it makes sense now because even after the ice melts, the coffee remains strong and the flavor stays rich and sweet. Overall, it is a solid and well balanced coffee. That said, I still really enjoy 85° Bakery's sea salt coffee drinks as well. I'm happy that I've found another coffee option that I enjoy from this bakery. read more

I finally came to try the viral Iced Vietnamese coffee with sea salt foam drink and it did not disappoint. As you walk in you are met with a wonderful array of pastries and treats to choose from along with tons of drinks and smoothies, coffees and teas too. Cashiers are nice and quick. Waiting for our drink did not take too long. They have some tables to chill but it could get packed on busy days. read more

I love 85 Bakery. I come here at least once a week for their pastries or iced strawberry matcha drink. This location is located in Park and Shop next to plenty of restaurants. There is always plenty of parking and if you drive an EV, there is an EVgo charging station directly across the bakery. They have a variety of baked goodness and it changes every visit. My favorite is the Hokkaido custard bun and the potato croquettes. My go-to drinks are the strawberry matcha and anything I can customize sugar free. Everything is reasonably priced as well. The lines aren't so bad now that the hype has died down and the wait for our drinks never takes that long. Overall, the service is excellent and the employees there are very friendly. They do have tables and seats in case you feel like dining in, but most of the customers that do go there are in and out. There is also a bathroom for customers as well. 85 never disappoints. read more

Amazing service, as always. I ordered the promotional drink (which I completely forgot to take photos of!), and it was delicious. I absolutely love the mango cake here--especially since I was able to redeem it using my rewards. If you didn't know, they have a great rewards program where you can earn free drinks or food, which is such a nice bonus. The Christmas tree was beautiful and added such a cozy, festive touch to the space. Overall, this location feels incredibly warm and inviting, making it a place I always enjoy coming back to. read more

I was so happy when this 85 degree C opened several years ago. I used to have to go to the one in Livermore by the outlet which was a long commute. This store has a good selection of pastries, bread, cakes, and drinks. It's usually a bit crowded when I go and there is usually a line. My favorite is the pork-sung bun but sometimes they run out if I go there late. The store has some seating area, but like what I said it can get very busy, and sometimes there isn't any seating available. Also, they can do a better job of cleaning up the tables and chairs. Sometimes, they are kind of dirty. Overall, it's a nice store and I am glad that they have good business so they will stay open and not close due to lack of customers. Also, I suggest they add sandwiches (egg salad, chicken salad, etc) to their menu, like the other Asian bakeries in the area (Paris Baguette, Tour Le Jou) so customers can have lunch options too, read more

Great bakery to come to if you like pastries and drinks that aren't too sweet. There's a wide selection to choose from. There's a self serve kiosk for drinks which is a nice option. I ordered the strawberry matcha drink, a summer edition. However I wasn't a big fan of it because it wasn't sweet. Just a personal preference. The pastries are nice and fresh, but also aren't too sweet. It's a grab and go type of bakery. So service depends mostly on yourself lol. Once you have all your items, you pay up front with a cashier. It's small but theres some indoor seating available. You can expect a loud ambiance. read more

My Go-To Spot Pastries and Drinks! I live just down the road from this location and visit multiple times a week. It's become one of my favorite spots! The store can get busy at certain times, but I usually stop by before lunch when it's a little calmer. Their bakery selection is incredible, and honestly, I always end up buying more than I can eat because everything looks so good. My personal favorites are the Ube Bun, Cheesy Dog Bun, and their egg tarts--absolute must-tries! Every other week, I grab a box to share with coworkers and friends, and it's always a hit. They do have a few seats and tables inside, but I usually take my drink and pastries to go. I've never been disappointed here. They have great quality, great flavors, and a place I'll keep coming back to! read more

I don't normally do reviews on what I would consider chain restaurants but sometimes they are just too good. You want a delicious treat and an awesome over the top coffee drink... well 85 is your spot. They are always clean, fast and consistent and if that's what your looking for this is your spit for sure. read more

Small, cozy bread shop. Came on a Saturday morning and it was quite full already. Fresh bread was coming out as we were figuring out what to get. Ended up getting 6 different types of bread for the 4 of us, which was more than enough! the bread was so warm and texture was perfect! my go to place for fresh bread. read more

Visited for some snacks and boba and was not disappointed. The mango brûlée cake, strawberry matcha latte with boba, and croquet were my favorite so far. The cafe is clean, smells amazing, and the people working there are super nice. I recommend placing an order in advance if you're in a hurry to give them time to make it. Starting eating my food and keep forgetting to take photos! Will add if I remember next time, third time is the charm! read more

I was really unimpressed by 85°C bakery on Willow Pass Road. I love the one in Dublin and so I was excited to see this one, but there were a couple missteps for one thing they just didn't seem to have the pastry selection like everything seemed to have meat in it if it were savory the other thing was, I ordered a large decaf coffee and asked for cream and they said I had to pay extra for half-and-half $.50 and then when I got my coffee, it was cold! They said only if you order a medium, is it hot and I just think he should've told me that because who would put half-and-half in their cold coffee? I don't know. I just was very unimpressed with everything there. The ambience was not so great either because the aisle that you walk in to get your selection is really small and they didn't have any liners or tongs. I'll stick with the one in Dublin. read more

I love 85°C Bakery!!! I saw a video of their seasonal pumpkin bread and knew I had to try it. Since it is limited, I gave them a call first and they told me they ran out for the day but could put it on hold for me when they have more. The next day I was able to get the pumpkin bread!! Excellent service on their end and the pumpkin bread is delicious (and pumpkin shaped hehe). I have tried some of their other pastries and drinks and they are all pretty good, just sweet. The store is clean most of the time and there is some seating if you want to eat there. There is also a kiosk to order drinks on if you do not want to wait in the pastry line. Lots of parking in the lot and good food around the area. Will definitely be back!! read more

Upon entering the store I realized the line starts from the other entrance. I'm not buying bread this evening so I looked to for the kiosk to order drinks only. The store should move the kiosk machine to somewhere accessible and not within the line area. Customers who only want to order drinks won't have to wait in the main line just to access the kiosk. I ordered strawberry freeze and iced milk green tea. I didn't wait too long for my drinks. The space is well lit in the evening. Staffs are friendly. read more

Stopped by to get a little dessert for 6 month old smashing purposes. Inside is spacious and there's so many options. It was a bit overwhelming and I suddenly wanted to try everything. The mango cream roll was a tasty 7/10 at $9.80, and the strawberry cream square was also a 7/10 at $5.15. Both cakes tasted very fresh and fluffy. They were not dense at all! This was the baby's first time having any sweets or solid period, and he loved it and no one felt bad for letting him taste it. I'll definitely return to try other options when in the area. read more

85°C Bakery Cafe-Concord - Berry Green Tea - Bakeries Near Me - Concord, California

So, what about tiramisu cheesecake! As a tiramisu fan, the Instagram ads drew my eye with promises of creamy decadence and chocolate richness. A golden fork rested on the plate. Was it worth the deal? And thus I went to the only 85°C Bakery Café in town to have a taste of luxury. 85°C Bakery Café is in a strip mall just off a busy road. The café was packed with patrons filtering in and out, and I quickly realized the doors were one-way when I tried to go in through the exit. After going in through the correct doors, I filed my way through the crowd and past the shelves of baked goods. The place was filled with delicious wrapped pastries ranging from Hokkaido custard buns to red bean breads. At the counter, the cakes were neatly arranged on display. I got the tiramisu cheesecake, a self-described Basque-style cheesecake with tiramisu mousse and cocoa powder. The tiramisu cheesecake slices stood elegantly between the red velvet cake slices and the strawberry panna cotta cups. The assistant carefully boxed up the cake slice for me, and I was soon out the door. I quickly realized that this was a Basque cheesecake first and a tiramisu second when I took my first bite. The cake was like biting into a layer of soft cream cheese, tart and full. The tiramisu was the flourish; my fork sank through the cocoa dust into the mousse and met subtle resistance from the cheesecake halfway down. The bold espresso and earthy cocoa flavors on top mixed with the rich, creamy waves of cheese beneath. Cheese upon cheese, this tiramisu cheesecake was a cheese-lovers dream. This was a good slice of cheesecake from 85°C Bakery Café. While my preference is more for tiramisu than cheesecake, I appreciated the cheesecake, and I'll be back to try the other baked goods at 85°C Bakery Café in the future. read more

Their taro roll is good. The sea salt jasmine green tea is not bad. Can get pretty busy.

Their cakes and milk bread are always a hit in my household and with friends and family. I think they can work on the attitude of the customers service. Everytime I've came in it felt like everyone was just counting the seconds to go home. Mind you it was 3 hours before closing. I keep coming because their stuff is good. Just don't expect to be welcomed. read more

Great quality baked goods! Underrated thing about this place, is THEY DON'T BEG FOR TIPS! You pay for your food and the ipad doesn't "just ask some questions". Service is always nice, and the place is always relatively clean. read more

Not sure why it's taken me so long to try 85C, but better late than never! I've mostly gotten drinks here, though I got a mango bun yesterday for the 50% member discount on select mango items. The mango bun was not overly sweet. As for the drinks, I've had the taro milk tea and the sea salt coffee. The sea salt coffee was a new member welcome gift after I downloaded the app. The sea salt creama was an acquired taste, though adding stevia helps make it less salty. The taro milk tea is my favorite because I can taste the taro flavor and it's not overly watery at 50% sweet. I can't wait to try the various ube and taro baked goods! The first two times I came, service was friendly. However, the person who helped me yesterday seemed less friendly. Not sure if she was new or just having an off day. However, one less than ideal encounter won't stop me from coming back to 85C. It's less than 10 mins away from where I live so I plan to come back in the near future! read more

I saw some others review this place on Instagram so I thought I would give it try. The place is clean, the employees are nice, and they have a good selection of pastries. That said I didn't enjoy the pastries that much. I tried the strawberry danish and a strawberry and crème sponge like cake. Both were just okay. The crème wasn't overly sweet, which was fine, but the overall flavor was pretty bland. The danish (croissant) was soft, but again nothing special. What I did enjoy was the Vietnamese ice coffee. I added a sea salt cream and wow this was amazing! The drink was delicious! The second time I came here was only for the iced coffee and boy did this take forever. I get it that it won't be as quick as the bigger coffee retailers, but dang. It was slower than my slowest coffee experiences anywhere else! Overall the food didn't do it for me. I will come back for the drink, but only when I have a lot of time to wait. read more

I absolutely love 85°C Bakery Cafe! Every time I walk in, I feel like I've stepped into dessert heaven--but the real showstopper? The guava cheese strudel. Oh. My. Goodness. It's heavenly, delicious, and completely out of this world. Flaky, buttery layers wrapped around a perfectly balanced guava and cream cheese filling... it's a dreamy bite of joy every single time. The staff is always friendly, the store is clean and welcoming, and the selection is so tempting it's hard to walk out with just one thing. Whether you're craving something sweet or savory, you'll find something to fall in love with here. If you haven't tried the guava cheese strudel yet, run--don't walk. read more

While in the area, I decided to stop by to pick up some of my favorite pastries. It's located on a strip mall on Willow Pass Rd. The store is located at the east end off Fry Way. The store is good sized and carries what appears to be most of the selections that 85 ° offers. The shelves for each selection was also well stocked. They also have a small seating area of about six tables and a couple of accent chairs. Got my favorites, marble taro, taro puff pastry, Hokkaido custard bun and decided to use the 50% off on my reward app and got a cinnamon roll. Checkout was friendly and efficient. A good 85 ° store and will be back if in the area. read more

When visiting family in the area, I like to visit this 85 Degrees location. Although it can get busy here, for the most part they keep things pretty stocked but new flavors can sometimes be difficult to find as they sell quickly. We love their baked goods but a favorite of our family's is their egg tarts with mochi. When we get home, we love warming them up a tad in the toaster oven. It's flakey with a nice, sweet custardy middle Other than their bread, they also sell a variety of cakes showcased in their case by their registers and a variety of drinks (milk teas, expresso, blended, fresh tea, as well as add-ons - boba, pudding, konjac, lychee jelly, etc). Inside this bakery, there is plenty of seating on the side, and always clean if you'd like to have your sweet treats there. What we love at 85 C is not only their delicious baked goods and drinks but the pricing is reasonable! They also have a frequent buyer program so the app is worth having. read more

85C definitely grew on me this past year. My first visit wasn't the greatest experience, but there's definitely truth in giving places second chances. In this case, a second chance turned into multiple visits. And now... ya girl is lightweight hooked. When I hit the park n' shop, I have to force myself to look the other way because I'll be in there like swimwear EVERY friggin' time! Lord knows this body doesn't need any more carbs or sweets. But when it comes to 85C... how can you NOT?! So many choices. So many delicious goodies. I have yet to try their milk teas, but them pastries is where it's at, folks! My go-to is their egg tarts. Highly addictive and highly delicious. I love how they come slightly browned at the top and how chewy and sticky the crust is. It's not what you'd find at an authentic Chinese bakery like in Oakland or SF Chinatown. BUT... I will shamelessly admit that I adore their version so much. It so tasty and I get it every time that I stop in. Everything else is kind of like a wild card after the egg tarts for me. I've had several of their pastries and cakes and for the most part, they've been yummy. I've gotten cakes for employee's birthdays and everyone has really enjoyed them. Practically anything baked with meat and/or cheese has been so scrumptious. I love the jalapeño cheese bread and the bacon and cheese bread. I mean, there's been a few misses but you can't really go wrong with the baked goods here. I try to choose at least one new item that I haven't tried when I visit. I will say that you need to pack some patience though because the lines can get painfully long during peak hours. But honestly, this place is worth it. It has quickly become one of my new favorite bakeries in the area. read more

I had the opportunity to get some pastries at this 85C, so I opted for the garlic cheese bread and matcha choco bun. The garlic cheese bread is sweeter than you would expect, although it's also quite savory. It's actually fairly light and hollow inside, and not as strong of a garlic taste as you might expect. A good option if you like dairy and something a little bit sweet. (Note: I had already broken it in half and started eating it before I remembered I hadn't taken a photo, which is why my picture shows it broken in two) The matcha choco bun is also pretty good, the matcha part of it and the chocolate filling are quite sweet, I almost wish the matcha was even more bitter because I feel like that would balance out better with the sweet aspects. read more

Yummy baked goods. Good service. Well stocked shelves. I love the egg tarts, Jumbo Guava Cheese Strudel, Coffee Milk Butter, and more. Kids loved the Garlic Cheese bread. I grabbed the Hawaiian Chicken without knowing what it was and was surprised by the pineapple chunks inside. I also grabbed the Pork Sung Bun and wasn't a fan of that one. This was my first visit to this bakery in Concord. Not sure when they opened up, but I was pleasantly surprised to find this place closer to home. I do recommend this place for sweet and/or savory baked goods. You just walk in, grab a tray, and load up everything that looks good. Haha There is a self serve section, and a full-service section with items in the glass display. Then when you go to pay, you can order your drinks. They have hot or cold coffee and tea, they also have milk tea with boba. read more

This place closes their bathroom thirty minutes early because they said they cleaned it already, my son had to hold his pee in and if I knew they weren't going to let him use the bathroom I would've not got so much stuff and already paid for it. -_- I asked nicely if they always close the bathroom early thirty minutes before they close and the cashier ringing us up said "sometimes" My son was asking over and over if he can use the bathroom while I was paying and he said no because they already cleaned it I asked what time do you close he said eight I looked at the time it was about 7:30pm I looked over to see where their bathroom was and someone (worker) just came out and blocked off the area I told the cashier I wish they didn't do that (in a nice voice) and I said its not nice for the customers and he didn't say anything but he did roll his eyes and gestured his head in a rude manner as if hes mocking me in front of my kids. my son is seven years old and autistic and he didn't know what to do had to hold in his pee until we went next door business called "Spicy Lao Food" and they were closing at 8pm as well and we didn't buy anything there but we asked if my son can use their restroom they were so nice and said yes! That is a good business! people who treat you and your kids like human beings! and compassion. Not like the customer service here at 85 degrees. I'm so disappointed because they have really yummy looking treats but I'm afraid we will not be returning here until some changes happen. -Thank you read more

85 degree has been my go-to bakery to pick up baked goodies for work and family events. They are super convenient and you pretty much can't go wrong with any of their delicious items! They have a good selection of both sweet and savory pastries, with some of my and my husband's favorites being the hot dog bun, the salted chocolate chip cookies, the mini cheesecakes, and the jumbo guava cheese strudels. They have a nice assortment of cakes as well, sold whole or by the slice, which makes this a great bakery to pick something up for a birthday or other special occasion. For drinks, they have a decent selection as well. A go-to is definitely the sea salt caramel coffee. I recommend getting this 50% sweet unless you like it on the sweeter side. Service/checkout is usually quick and no fuss, but nothing super special. They usually keep the inventory of baked goods stocked well throughout the day, with only a limited supply toward the end of the day. The seating area isn't very large, so most people grab their drinks and pastries to-go. Still, there is space if you want to sit, eat, and chat for a while. Like I said, 85 Degree is consistent and convenient. Their pastries and drinks are worth giving a try, and their cakes are good for parties. This is a business I'll continue to support, especially if I'm already shopping or dining in the area. read more

85°C Bakery Cafe-Concord - Hot dog buns + our fave sea salt cookies - Bakeries Near Me - Concord, California

There is a LOT to choose from, around $2-$5 per snack. Everything i tried was basically lackluster, nothing id recommend to anyone. Idk if its me, but if im going to go somewhere for sweet buns i'll drive to richmond and visit Shang Kee Bakery. Their quality and bang for your buck is a lot better than 85 degrees. Everything sweet wise @ 85 degrees is just way TOO sweet or too much dough to filling. The best thing i had was a sweet and spicy sausage bun. I dont think ill be going back to 85 degrees for a while after today. Service was just okay. read more
