One of the things I really love about 85°C Bakery Cafe is the consistency. No matter which location I visit, I know exactly what to expect. The pastries are always fresh, the selection is familiar, and there's very little variation in taste from one bakery to another. It's nice knowing they'll deliver the same quality every time. Pro tip: Download the 85°C app before you go so you can earn rewards on your purchases. This location is in Koreatown, so be prepared for parking to be a bit of a nightmare. I was lucky enough to find street parking around the corner, but that isn't always the case. If you've never been to one of their bakeries before, here's how it works: Grab a tray as soon as you walk in. You may think you won't need one, but trust me you will! As you make your way down the displays, simply pick up the pastries that catch your eye. Most are priced around $2-$3 each, making it easy to sample a variety without spending a fortune. One thing I really appreciate is that each pastry is individually wrapped in cellophane, which helps keep everything fresh and makes it convenient if you're taking treats home. They also have a refrigerated section with sliced cakes, cheesecakes, and other desserts if you're looking for something a little more indulgent. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or dessert, 85°C is a bakery that's consistently worth the visit. You have the option of dining in as well if you choose. They have ample seating available. read more

Kinda late but finally trying the sea salt cream top drink from 85 Bakery. We got it from the one in Ktown, which seemed to be relatively older store yet spacious with plenty of sit-down spaces. Got our drinks online via the app, and it's so convenient experience. The coffee itself was just okay, nothing particular to call out, but good size for prize. Would say similarly with the salty cream top. read more

THE BEST COFFEE In the world!! I know it's a bold statement, but believe me if you tried it you would say the same thing. The Vietnamese coffee has left my husband and hooked for weeks and months now that I'm thinking of it. Today I tried some of their delicious pastries and boy it did not disappoint. I also took several pictures of all the goodies they sell. Perhaps you can come and check k out this goldmine in our neighborhood. read more

I came later in the day so the selection wasn't as plentiful and fresh! But I love this chain as of this year, so I had to grab something when I stumbled onto this 85 Degree Bakery in Koreatown. Nice displays, the decor and customer service can both be improved. The place is too spare for me, folks could be friendlier. Got savory pastries to go (garlic and bacon) and some egg tarts. Delicious! Prices are in the middle. No outdoor seating, just inside. Not my favorite location, but glad I checked it out! read more

Always happy with Sylvia's phenomenal service at 85*c Bakery!! She recommended the most yummy things and always has a smile even when the shop is very busy. She's very efficient, great at multitasking even when helping out quite a few customers at the same time. Sylvia also makes sure the store is clean and tidy, very quick to keep surfaces tidy even when there are customers who drops food on the floor. Just very impressed with Sylvia's great professionalism, positive energy and multitasking abilities. We visit this Koreatown 85*c location just to see her and gets lots of bakery from this store because Sylvia is the friendly face we love to buy from xx read more

I'm not much of a cake guy, but after sampling a series of 85's different options -- Red Velvet, Black Forest, Mango and Tiramisu -- I am very nearly sold. The cakes from this Asian bakery are lighter, and not as rich or sweet (or sticky) as your usual Western offerings so for me they're a n easier way to indulge. I hear their breads are good too. This location is well laid out, plenty of room and good light, with helpful servers. (PS, My fave was the Red Velvet) read more

This 85 degrees location is located on the corner of a high-traffic shopping center. I believe this location pretty clean and fully stocked for that reason alone. The bread is fresh and their drinks are delicious. The staff are business oriented and willing to answers your inquiries. In this picture, I ordered their brown sugar iced latte.. not only does it look great but it tasted great too! I usually stop here once a week to pick up treats with my work bestie. PS: There is street parking in front of the store or you can opt for the structure parking around the corner. Either way, it's worth the stop :) read more

I love all the sweet bread they have... Service is always good and love it that its always really organized

Sylvia was so sweet and helpful! She made the experience at 85°C Bakery really welcoming during rush hour. 5 stars :)

This was my first time trying this place, and I really believe that your experience heavily relies on what you get. I got there first thing in the morning, meaning the pastries were nice and fresh. It was not empty but not packed. We could easily get our food, check out, and sit down at one of the many available tables. We got the jalapeño cream cheese bread, milk pudding bun, marble taro, mango custard bun, choco bun, and berrytale. The jalapeño cream cheese was by far the star. The bread was soft and fluffy filled with flavorful jalapeño cream cheese, and topped with crunchy bits of cheese. It went by fast. The berrytale was the best out of the sweet pastries. It was nice and soft, with a tangy and fruity cream cheese center. I appreciated how the top of this pastry had become sort of caramelized and crunchy, which gave it a great taste and differentiating texture. The milk pudding bun was also delicious though simple. Not much happening flavor wise as it is simply a soft bun filled with custard, but delightful nonetheless. The marble taro was not good. I love taro, and enjoyed the filling itself, but the bread had become mushy, which did not pair well with the already mushy taro. Though there were bits of crunchy grain throughout, this did not do much to help the overall bread and we ended up just throwing it away. The mango custard bun was ok. All the textures were great, and the bun was nicely filled. The flavor of the was not what I would have expected, as it was more savory- akin to an Indian mango chutney. I found this taste slightly off putting in the context of the custard bun, but not entirely revolting. read more

I've been coming to 85 Bakery for about 7 years, and it's always been a great experience. The pastries and drinks are always fresh and delicious, and the bakery is clean and welcoming. It's one of my favorite places to stop by because the quality and service are consistently good. I especially want to recognize Sil, who is always so nice, attentive, and friendly. Sil is always smiling and makes customers feel welcome from the moment they walk in. Even when it gets busy, Sil stays patient and helpful, and you can tell they truly care about giving good service. After so many years of coming here, seeing Sil working is one of the reasons I keep coming back. Great customer service makes a big difference, and Sil always provides that. Thank you for always being kind and welcoming! read more

Just asked for my usual Vietnamese coffee add Taro and boba and the barista there made my drink horrendously wrong. And when I asked to have the drink fixed he said this is the way we make it and handlled me my drink and continued to call the next order! I then proceeded to go back to the counter to speak to the cashier to tell her I wanted my drink remain and then someone else dipped and remade my drink and forgot all the modifications but I don't tolerate attitudes like that especially when you can tell that it's visually a mountain of powder at the bottom of my drink separated by the actual liquid. Listen bro, if you don't want your job just apply somewhere else. The world is hard enough dealing with rude people and I was being nice! read more

85°C Bakery Cafe-Koreatown - Vietnamese coffee with a mountain of taro powder at the bottom separated by boba! ‍‍ - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a fun little bakery with specialty goods as well as your typical pastries, bagels, and muffins. I enjoyed viewing all the scrumptious items for sale and selected a walnut crumble to purchase. At the register, I turned down the opportunity to provide a tip, considering I picked the baked good out of the case and carried it to the front to check out. When my friend stepped to the front to buy his pastries, he got the Gen Z stare (a vacant, blank expression often given in response to a question, particularly from older generations) from the young cashier. I would like to say this was surprising but it's not. Overall, I liked the selection at 85°C Bakery Cafe, maybe you will too. read more

Heard so much about this bakery chain... it's been on my bookmark list forever. Was walking the area and stumbled upon here and had to immediately go in. Very cute. Was interested to see how West Coast Asian bakery offerings were compare to East Coast NYC's Asian bakery options. Noticed they didn't have some of the classics I'm used to. And everything is a pineapple bun? Unique flavors and cute packaging (some would say wasteful?). With the packaging, how can I be sure it's fresh fresh? They have a cute tote bag so I had to buy it! Great souvenir for myself hahaaa They have kiosks to place drink orders and such. Everything looks pretty and cute. Very large and spacious bakery with some seating available for your coffee date read more

Their yelp and website says they have a phone number but the phone doesn't work at all. I had to call another location to double check and they notified me they didn't have a phone at this location so I can't even call to make any edits or requests to the bakery for my order. read more

This location is smacked right in the heart of Ktown. So it is very accessible and easy to get to, parking on the other hand can be a head ache. There's no set parking lot so everything is street parking, again if you can find any. They have a kiosk right up front for you to order drinks and they can be prepared while you shop for your baked goods. The food is all individually wrapped which I like so no one is touching things and putting them back. They also have a case with pastries that require to be kept cold so you'll need assistance with those. The ladies that helped me out today were so nice and helpful. Took the time to recommend their fav drinks. I ended up getting a mango green tea and a strawberry matcha latte. Both were so good and not too sweet which I always appreciate. The dining room seating area could have used a bit of a clean up. Other than that great place to stop for something sweet! read more

I feel like out of all the locations, this is probably the one who needs the most work. The bathrooms are so dirty. The sitting area is always messy and never clean for new customers to sit. I've seen a few tables not get wiped down for the entire time I'm there... and no, it wasn't busy. The staff most time is really short with you. Almost unfriendly or unwelcoming. The drinks are a miss sometimes. I'm not giving it one star because I don't want to bring down the ratings. I just want to see them do better. It's such a big and busy location... We want to feel welcomed and appreciated. read more

Had a great experience I got a mango cake and Sil the cashier was v helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!

The food was good. The service was terrible. That lady in the counter, she tried to rush everything. She kept raising her voice at us. I understand my friend wasn't fully prepared when we ordered but that lady was the one that pressured us to go to the counter yelling "next available customer to the counter please" and while she was taking the order, she kept cutting my friend out. She's not letting her finish her sentence. She kept repeating the order so my friend got confused. I tried to ignore but when our number was called we didn't hear her the first time because the lady that serves in the pick up counter wasn't really loud enough for her voice to travel across the room.. And the pick up counter was all the way to the end of the store which was a relatively far from the tables were set. It was hard to hear because of all the noise in the background and the music and that lady in the counter. The other guy was just looking at us and his colleagues like he is judging us instead of apologizing for his teammate. The lady that served the drinks at the counter's reaction triggered me to post this because she turned her back on me as i was picking up the order and she responding to me without facing me. I asked her is this the order number our number but she just said yes without facing me. Their faces made me feel judged and uncomfortable. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 I've visited this location a few times for a quick bite, drink, or snack. The taste is consistent with other locations, but the selection here seems smaller, perhaps it depends on the time of day. The employees don't seem very attentive to what's happening in the store. On one visit, I asked for cheesecake and was told they didn't have any. However, while browsing the pastry section, I found the cheesecake myself. read more

This rating is only for the cake service I received. I went to pick up the cake I reserved for my uncle's birthday. I told them and the employee went to check the back. Waited abt a good 10 mins worrying what was taking so long but he finally brought it out. See picture attached. One star off for crappy "Happy Birthday" penmanship on the cake. You should've just attached those edible Happy Birthday chocolate signs on it instead. Second star off for giggling and snickering in front of me and your coworker knowing the BS you just did. I wouldve appreciated the effort if I didn't see that behavior. Do better, Eric. read more

85 Degrees is my go-to spot for all cake cravings and sweet fixes! I've tried almost everything on the menu by now. Their boba drinks are solid, and the mango cake is a total standout--super popular and for good reason. The strawberry shortcake is incredibly fresh and light, and the mango crème brûlée and strawberry tiramisu are so, so good--highly recommend both! The only item I didn't enjoy as much was the classic tiramisu or tiramisu cheesecake. The powdery finish on top had a dry texture that just didn't work for me. One small tip: always double-check your bill. It seems like prices are manually entered at the register, and I've noticed a couple of mistakes in the past. Still, it's a fantastic bakery with tons of variety for every kind of sweet tooth! read more

The food is great, the drinks are really good, customer service are super good, I recommend this place.

We've been coming here for several years and are addicted - we love the bread, the boba, and the service. Silvia is usually behind the counter and she's always enthusiastic and helpful - her lively and cheerful manner is contagious! We used to struggle to find parking, but if you park behind the building and bring your ticket, 85 will validate it for 30 minutes. This is perfect for us to grab & go. The sandwiches are also excellent and only $5! read more

Hello,  This morning, we placed a two-coffee pickup order at the Koreatown location. Upon arrival, we saw two customers in line and went directly to the pickup area. Amber, the cashier, assisted the customers but the line kept growing. She called more customers to the register while ignoring me for over 15 minutes. She helped me after finishing with all the customers in line. I pointed out that I had been waiting and asked why she was ignoring my pickup order. She said she didn't know what I was there for, despite the clearly marked pickup sign above my head. She then claimed they handle customers in line first, dismissing my concern. It's extremely disappointing to wait so long for a pickup, especially when trying to save time, only to receive poor service.  If you're reading this, skip pick-up orders here--some cashiers have terrible customer service. I don't expect perfection, but this place made me feel like I was trying to get free coffee. I regret wasting my time and money, especially since Koreatown offers better options. This was a frustrating, wasteful experience at the Koreatown location. read more
