great bakery! i like how there are multiple 85° bakeries because i can pick up baked goods no matter where i am. here are some ratings on my go-to items: mangotale/berrytale: underrated in my opinion! not too sweet and it's fruity so it's not too decadent garlic cheese: has been my go-to since i was little. i know the size has definitely decreased over the years though and it doesn't always come out consistent read more

Quality of pastries was below average. Sanitation was also a red flag. I found a long hair stuck at the bottom of a bought Portuguese egg custard. Croissant was soggy. Everything tasted mid. Drinks were also meh. Black milk tea likely used old tea leaves yielding not as fresh taste. Don't think beverage is their strong suit. Service was friendly and attentive. That's probably the only positive thing at this location. Spacious store equipped with indoor seating. Quiet vibe except when staff unnecessarily shouted out your order. read more

It was a pretty good stop here after 1:30pm on a Monday. No lines and no crowds. The parking lot is usually packed with cars, but today was a breeze getting in and out. This corner 85 Degrees C Bakery Cafe store is huge/wide in space/high ceiling height. Nice. There's plenty of tables and chairs inside as well as outside. Good set up. As usual, I purchased my medium cup iced tiger boba latte which is still under $5 each. Good flavor as always. Afterwards, I purchased some bread buns and their tote bag. Not bad at all. Tossed a bit of everything inside: coconut almond twist, cream buns, pork sung buns, ham & cheese buns, brioche loaf, garlic cheese breads, etc. All are fresh and good. This store surprised me with their huge space. It was comfortable walking around inside, but the egg tarts in full box needs to be wiped down before putting out on display shelf because ants were crawling on them. I didn't expect to see it here. Overall, it was a good stop. Staffs are efficient and helpful. Checkout was fast and I received my beverage quickly. It's one of those places where you know that you will likely come back for a few more visits. read more

Stopped in for a quick treat to devour on the way home in commute traffic. Picked up a few extra for breakfast the next day. The store is always clean and the baked goodies are always well stocked. Simply love the bread! It's light, sweet and melts in your mouth. Service is always quick and pleasant. Great yumminess. read more

I stopped by 85° today on my way home. I've been to this location many times. It wasn't busy at all today. They were putting out fresh pastries when I arrived. I bought a few things. My favorite pastry that they make is the Berrytale. It's a soft bun with blueberry and cream cheese in the middle. I bought one of their seasonal items, which was the pumpkin-shaped bread. It's so cute. I can't wait to try it. There is a lot of seating at this location, and they also sell teas and beautiful cakes. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Their baked goods are reasonably priced and fresh. read more

Came by for dessert the other day and it was a decent experience. Parking is available on nearby streets or in the strip mall plaza. There is a decent variety of baked breads, pastries, and cakes. Most of them are individually wrapped. I do miss the staff changing "fresh bread." Seems like staff wear a uniformed apron and name tag. Make sure to sign up for rewards where "points" can be collected. It's also the portal to get sporadic discounts. There is seating both indoors and outdoors. I find most of their items to be mass produced. For example, their matcha chocolate bun tasted like there was quite a bit of high frutose corn syrup. Their black forest cake is tasty, although the perfectly shaped cake and cream lets me believe that it was made using a machine. read more

The kids get to pick a treat of their choice from this place after a strenuous game of soccer, so we have been here multiple times. What works: *Place is clean. *Pastries, breads and desserts are fresh and fly off the shelves pretty quickly. *Prices are reasonable. What doesn't work: *they have a lot of varieties and not everything is stellar. You might hit disappointing items once in a while, don't let that stop you from coming back. *since it's a chain, the bar for quality is pretty low. Too much sugar, too much fat and grease (read trans fat) across most of the items. So treat this as an occasional indulgence. Their mango cake is pretty delectable and is a seasonal treat if you are looking for recommendations. read more

Came across this spot by chance while I was in the area heading to HMart and ended up really enjoying it. The selection inside is just like the other locations I've been to, with lots of fresh baked goods both sweet and savory. Everything looked like it had just come out of the oven and the quality was on point. I grabbed a few pastries from the self-serve racks and they were all soft, warm, and flavorful. They also have a nice variety of chilled desserts in the open fridges along the wall, plus more sweets in the display case near the counter. The drink ordering system is done through kiosks which makes it quick and easy to get what you want without waiting in line. I usually go for one of the sea salt coffees and this one came out perfectly made. The space inside is clean and bright with high ceilings and plenty of seating. There's also outdoor tables if you prefer to sit outside. Staff were friendly and worked fast even when it got a little busy. Parking was simple since it shares the lot with HMart and a bunch of other restaurants in the plaza. It ended up being a great stop and now that I know it's here, I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area. read more

This location in De Anza Shopping Center gets a steady stream of customers as it's in a busy Asian food plaza. The multigrain walnut bread is by far the best item for something yummy but also not too sweet and relatively healthy. The other items can be a bit sweet and pillowy soft texture. There's a strong selection of savory items with cheese and/or protein, with all of them including a bit of mayo on the ingredient list. Filling a box with pastries is a good idea to bring to a party or a road trip. The pastries are all individually wrapped and keep well. Kids love the items too. read more

I am not a dessert kind of person but the options here are intriguing! We stopped in on the way to the airport and I was able to bring back delicious treats from my trip. The location is clean my only complaint is when I asked for a small box at the register (so I could safely bring food through the airport) I was told there were no small box options. A woman working in the back heard my request from behind the counter and gave me a small box. I don't know who that woman is but she knows how to go above and beyond for the customer and she the reason I'll probably stop back in next time I'm in town! read more

I wish I could assign a rating of zero to 85 Degrees Bakery. The bread and pastries are of poor quality and are not well-made. The matcha choco bun, along with the matcha strawberry fillings, has an outdated and unpleasant taste. I do not possess the photograph, but the overall quality is unsatisfactory. read more

The egg tarts at 85°C Bakery Cafe are amazing. The crust is perfectly flaky and buttery, and the custard is smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet. Best when slightly warm -- definitely a must-buy every time I visit." read more

My mom loves 85°c Bakery Cafe! This location is in a small strip mall with a lot of good restaurants like Go Fish, Yi Fang Tea, DH Noodle, and H-Mart. So the parking on the weekends are especially crazy! They have a larger variety here, like more stocked than the other locations. She prefers Taro filled Buns, Taro pastry, Ube Buns, Garlic Cheese bun, etc. Service was nice and friendly. They had 4 cashiers so the line went quickly. read more

85°C Bakery Cafe-San Jose - 10-26-24. My mom's choices today - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Your comment about the sell-by date doesn't make sense since all of the loaf of bread had a sell by date of the same date (3/17); when she went back on 3/18 to talk to the manager, it was the same deal, all of the bread had a sell by date of 3/18. Does this mean the loaf of bread should only be good for less than a day? I'm talking about a large loaf of sliced bread that no one will eat in one day. read more

(Keanu Reeves voiceover) The vibe is fab place for coffee and dessert late night! Trinity warmly greeted us. (Whoa! Took me back to my fave film. The Matrix) She recommended the Caramel Coffee. Sweet, sumptuous, delish! Sea Salt Coffee. Their specialty! A perfect 85°. Wow! Someone ordered. A Doppio Espresso. Splendid! The ambiance hip, the service fab, and the drinks excellent! Will get some confections next time! Thanks, Trinity! Will be back! Woohoo! read more

85C is a bakery chain - this location has plenty of parking in the lot in front and takes apple pay. The barista was nice, packed our pastries properly, and made our drinks relatively quickly. There's lots of seating inside as well. The pineapple cakes were reminiscent of the costco ones and tasted good - they traveled well and stayed fresh for a few days at home. The mango delight was airy and aesthetic but not sweet enough. The tiramisu was creamy and delicious. The drink, however pretty, was not good - it wasn't sweet and the texture of the mango coconut was curdly. I'd go back to try more desserts but didn't particularly love any of the ones I tried this time other than the tiramisu. read more

We came about an hour before closing, and there was still a variety options of baked goods to choose from! We left with 2 bags of pastries because we wanted to try everything! The decaf toffee latte was pretty good (8/10). The workers were very kind and quick, and the store itself was spacious and clean. Will definitely be coming to try even more pastries!!! read more

I came into 85 Degrees with my team, and there sure are a lot of us! And the 85 Degrees staff were very patient and efficient with bringing all of our drinks out as quickly as possible, which I REALLY appreciate! Inside, there is an area to gather pastries, seating areas, and a check out line, where you can order drinks and buy your items. I got the Strawberry Milk Tea, Egg Mochi, and Pineapple Cakes. The Strawberry Milk Tea Boba was DELICIOUS! They put small strawberry chunks inside this drink and it tastes so delicious! The Egg Mochis also come in a small box and are so cute and yummy! Inside, there is music in the background, and the vibe is mostly always busy and exciting. However, there is also outside seating for enjoying your pastries as well. I don't have enough good things to say about 85 Degrees. Will be back soon! read more

I like the bakery breads, mango cake, and taro cake, but I anything that can be found in American bakeries is not good. Namely the red velvet, chocolate, tiramisu, and cheesecake flavored cakes. Ugh. They're so light on flavor and taste very artificial. But if you want baked breads then it's solid! I come here for blueberry cheesecake bread, taro bread, anything mango or custard read more

I've been to 85°C Bakery Cafe several times in the past, but this recent visit was by far the worst. The employee who claimed to be the manager was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Instead of resolving our concern or even attempting to be helpful, she responded with a disgusting attitude and acted as if we were bothering her just by asking a simple question. It's disappointing to be treated this way as a paying customer. The experience left a really bad impression, and it's honestly not worth returning if this is how management chooses to treat people. I hope upper management takes this seriously and addresses the staff's behavior--especially those representing the store as a "manager." Until then, I won't be coming back. read more

Came by for some pastries and baked goodies for breakfast! I was hoping to find the black squid ink cheese buns, but haven't seen those around the last few times I stopped by. Ended up getting a small variety of buns. Mushroom cheese bun - 1/5 Whole wheat bun topped with some cheese and mushrooms. Thought there would be more filing inside. Okay taste. Wouldn't get again. Ube bun - 3/5 Okay flavor. Bun was really thin and I was hoping for more filing. Wish there was more bread as well. Matcha chocolate bun - 4/5 Pretty good pastry cream and bits of chocolate inside. Bun was nice and soft. Good flavor. Potato croquettes - 3/5 Good filling to bread ratio. The seasoning inside though wasn't my cup of tea though. You can get 2 buns for a discount vs just 1 bun. Good value though the buns are on the smaller side m Mochi egg tart - 2/5 This was my first time having a mochi egg tart and I guess I was expecting the custard to have mochi in it. Instead it's just a glob of plain mochi at the bottom between the crust and the custard. It wasn't centered so I didn't realize that it was supposed to be there until I got to the second half of my tart. Very underwhelming for me since I was hoping for something more unique. Texture didn't really go well together against the soft egg and firm crust. I wouldn't get this again especially with the higher pricing compared to the other buns. Overall good little shop. Cashier was nice. Open space and nice ambience. Most of the buns and tarts are between $2-5. read more

Bought a birthday cake today (10/29) at 6pm. Took it out of my fridge then while cutting the cake it was difficult to cake the inside. It was still frozen inside. It's my first time to buy a cake that's frozen and not ready to be eaten. Definitely not what I expected. read more

There are countless pastries that I adore here! It's actually a dangerous trip for me as I end up getting so much! My favorites are the egg tarts, taro bun, strawberry white chocolate bun, hot dog roll, and potato croquettes. There's probably others but that's just from the top of my head. I've loved their egg tarts forever. The crispy crusty and creamy egg tart interior. It's always that good. My husband likes their smoothies and loves the strawberry banana ones. We love it here! read more

I occasionally come here to buy bread, but I didn't expect to experience such poor customer service today. I bought 7 pieces of bread, and when the cashier asked if I needed a plastic bag, I said, "No, but could you please use some tape to seal the openings?" Since their bread is individually wrapped but not sealed, it's easy for them to fall out--so I politely asked for a little help. However, the cashier gave me an impatient look, sealed just one piece, then tossed the tape to me and expected me to do the rest myself. I was honestly shocked-- is that really how customers should be treated? read more

A big shout-out to Thet, who went above and beyond when I redeemed my points. I was going to get the usual boba milk tea, but she thoughtfully recommended the strawberry milk tea. It's great to see an employee who thinks about what the customer might enjoy, and I'm so glad she suggested something special. Thanks again, Thet! read more

Yummy pastries, service is very fast. Only complaint is that the packaging is ALWAYS oily. I know the workers package the pastries themselves, but I feel it should be a standard for either they wipe their hands first before placing the pastries inside, or doing a final wipe after the packaging is closed. read more

Love their cakes!!! Delicious and tasty and not too sweet. I usually feel full after having a slice of cake but not here, I could always eat more. read more

My favorite bakery's in the area. Love all the savory baos! They're always so fresh. Come during the day rather then closing for a bigger variety! My favorite buns are yok sung, sausage, and garlic. Tried the Vietnamese coffee for the first time and it's really good. Not too sweet, and very flavorful. Long may be long but it's so quick. Love coming here to get buns for weekday lunches. read more

I mainly come here for the baked pastries. Since they're all $2-5 each, most of the baked goods are an affordable and quick meal. My favorites are the salted butter bun, the Hawaiian chicken bread with pineapple and pizza sauce, and the spinach danish. If you microwave them, they become 10x better. I've drank their iced lychee green tea before and it was good. I got it for free though; I haven't bought their drinks because they're kind of expensive ($5+ each). The chilled desserts near the cash register are always nice to look at and worth a try for special occasions. Their mango, chocolate, and strawberry cakes always look delectable. TLDR: You're not going to get food as good as a locally owned bakery, but 85 degrees Bakery and Cafe is a nice, affordable option if you crave savory or sweet baked goods. read more

Thank you to the lady who stopped me as she acknowledged they forgotten a topping in my drink! I ordered a Green milk tea with boba and egg pudding. one of the workers advised me they are out of egg pudding, and asked if i'd like to replace it, which i asked for coffee jelly. As i grabbed my drink, poked my straw, and was out the door, the lady approached me to let me know they forgot to add the replacement and fixed it before i could even notice/complain. I appreciate it! read more

This is my go to 85* bakery when working. I enjoy browsing around the pastries with a tray in hand. Picking what looks yummy. My average cost is $15. Grabbing around 4 baked goods and an iced boba. They have public restrooms around the corner. Plenty of indoor and outdoor tables with chairs. Great place for people to meet up and chat. The parking lot can be a pain, just keep trying until you find something. Enjoy! read more

Do not go here on the 1st day of a promo. They don't know how to or couldn't override the system. I got a promo on my app to get a free piece of bread with buying an espresso drink this month. They couldn't apply the promo cuz it wasn't in the system, so I just cancelled buying the bread. Maybe I'll come back on another day or just go to Paris baguette instead. 85 degrees should update their system and process, so it doesn't leave a bad customer experience. I should expect an auto response from a business manager to contact their customer service which I won't do. They can just log the issue themselves. read more

Really nice bakery close to home. We love their selection of pastries and individual portions of cakes. The mango cake, strawberry and chocolate cakes are all delicious. Their cheesecake is good too. Personally, their stuffed breads (mushroom, cheese) were not that tasty nor were the drinks we ordered. They felt like more bread than mixed toppings. However, their fresh bread loaves including the flavored ones (pumpkin, garlic) are all delicious. Place is on the expensive side, but the quality of the food justifies these prices. There is ample parking in the strip mall parking lot, though it is a narrow perpendicular parking with a lot of traffic, so need to be careful while reversing. Will definitely visit again and try out new desserts. read more

My family bought a deluxe strawberry cake. The inside was frozen. I get that the freezer can be strong, but to me a frozen cake that is not specifically called an ice cream cake speaks to low quality. The cake cutter plastic actually snapped because the inside was frozen. I had to search to make sure no plastic got into the cake. So...safety hazard. The flavor of the cake is fine. The texture of frozen cake when you did not ask for an ice cream cake is not. I strongly recommend you ask the cashier the temperature of the cake as well as the process- was it made today or yesterday or a week ago? Maybe your experience will be different. My experience was stressful and upsetting. read more

This 85 Degree Bakery Cafe is located in a huge plaza so no need to worry about parking. However, this is one of the smaller bakeries in the South Bay. I visited on a Wednesday afternoon and it was slightly busy. Since this bakery is smaller than the others, the selection seems to be more limited. They didn't have a couple of my favorites - boba bun and the taro bun. I asked if they have some baking in the back and a gentleman said it's sold out for the day. A bit surprised since it was only 3pm and other 85's would still be bringing out "fresh bread" at this time. Although, I did get to grab a couple of the mochi egg tarts that some of my friends have been raving about and have to say.. highly recommend these! I do suggest toasting it a bit before eating them to get the gooeyness of the mochi.

"85*C Bakery Cafe" located in the Waterford Shopping Center in San Jose. First impression, the place looks pretty big from the outside. You step inside, and it seems like all the baked goods are displayed in one corner on the right side. I was there around 430pm on a Tuesday, and the shelves were well stocked. I saw some items I haven't seen before, and that was interesting. I couldn't find any butterfly cookies, and that was a bit disappointing. I ended up getting: - cream cheese pastry - delicious - cinnamon twist - good! - garlic bread - fresh and chewy - egg tarts....2 per box! -good - Chocolate cream roll- didn't like it, bitter flavor Service was fair. There was 4-5 people in line, and it was a long wait. One cashier was slow. I got the speedy cashier. She was friendly and perky. Asked how my visit went and thanked me for coming. The store was very clean, staff were cleaning and organizing shelves. Masks not required (for Covid), but most people wore masks inside. Lots of parking in shopping center lot. Store located in Waterford Shopping Center, W Capitol Expressway x Vistapark Dr, just east of the Guadalupe Freeway (CA 87). read more
