    Tasty delectable.
    Eric A.

    They had a good selection of pastries on shelves. Had a coconut filled danish. Prices are favorable. Service at the counter was service at a counter. Some delectables in cases one of which is pictured. Wish more seating as it screams get your coffee and pastries and go (to-go).

    I stopped in 85 for an iced green tea with no sweetener and a Boran Danish for $2.70. The Danish was good. It was soft and airy and had a mild flavor. The green iced tea was not so good because they decided to put sweetener in it, even though "No Sugar" was clearly marked on the sticker on the cup. It is hard to find good help these days. Anyway, after a couple of tries, I had to toss it because of the overly sweet flavor. Although, they had a lot of baked goods available, they still did not offer everything they usually do because they are still under a soft opening umbrella. The hospitality was okay. The young lady at the register was friendly enough. This location only offers a few tables inside and no outside seating at the moment.

    Great opening weekend for the newest location in San Diego county. Plenty of seating and food selection, there was a line out the door but went quickly. Drink orders are placed at the kiosk as you enter, then you can shop for pastries while your drink is made. This time we had the sausage, cheese bread, and strawberry matcha bread, all recommended!

    Swung by to check out the newest 85 location and we lucked out and happened upon their grand opening! Beautiful interior with lots of fresh bread & pastries. Everything looked clean and freshly baked. We got an assortment of sweet and savory items along with my favorite sea salt jasmine green tea and also a Vietnamese iced coffee. Service was friendly and quick at the check out counter. Theres also 2 kiosks to order drinks at if you're not getting any pastries. I don't understand the harsh 2-3 star reviews for a place that was in their soft opening phase up until today (and people who write good praises and only give 3 stars??) I am very excited to have 85 be a part of the Santee neighborhood so I don't have to drive all the way to Mira Mesa for one of my favorites teas!

    Little did I realize I was trying this location out the day of the grand opening, within their last 20 minutes! It's a beautiful location, well done. Efficient layout. Most of the items were in plastic wrapper which makes it nice and safe, sanitary, especially when people are coughing! The attention to detail is great. We had two slices of cake and a . All was good. I think the way I'd sum it up is light. Nothing was heavy it was all light and fluffy. I look forward to going back and trying the coffee drinks. Seems like it could make a nice meet and gab kinds place.

    We stopped by a week after their grand opening and they were sold out of lots of things! Must be that good! We got the strawberry loaf and it was soft, buttery, and just the perfect about of sweetness! We also had a mango green tea with mango jelly. It was fresh and delicious! More on the sweetener side but definitely good for a sweet treat! They greeted us as we walked in and told us a bit about the pastries they had left. They had lots of seating inside where most people were mingling or working.

    I had to try the new 85 degree bakery and cafe. It is impressive when you walk in the door how all the baked goods are packaged and ready to go. So many varieties to choose from. They have trays to grab so you can add your various breads and pastries . But, I just wanted to browse and see what they had . I finally settled on an Almond bread twist . I decided to buy a few for family members to try, and I also ordered an Iced Strawberry Matcha! After you order your drinks, you then stand in line to pay for your bakery goods and or sandwiches if you so desire that. Once I paid for my Almond twists, I went to the coffee bar and my Iced Strawberry Matcha was waiting for me. It was incredible at first sip till the very end! Also, once I bit into the Almond Twist, it was love at first bite. So much Almond flavoring with a sweet kick to it but not too sweet and so soft and fluffy. It was like eating a tasty pastry cloud. Mind you, I had just worked out at the grin prior. Yikes! But, I needed to see what all the buzz was about! Now, I understand. I will be coming back for sure! I won't derail my fitness and nutrition plan, but I will be back for the Strawberry Matcha and to try their other coffee beverages. My only suggestions are more friendliness with some of the workers. For example. the girl behind the counter needed to be more friendly, welcoming, and helpful. And, have more indoor as well as outdoor seating available. Maybe offer down cute cafe tables and umbrellas outside. Other than that, it was a fabulous experience! Update: I came back to get my same Strawberry Iced Matcha Latte, and they put a strange Strawberry Jelly which I absolutely do not like. The worker did not make it the same way so I was disappointed. Can they be consistent maybe? I tried to drink it but the consistency was not good. I paid over 6.00 for it and had to throw it out and go to Starbucks to have them make it smooth and delicious for me.

    I thoroughly enjoyed all of the delicious, not too sweet, fluffy buns I had. The mochi egg tarts were very yummy as well, on the sweeter side. There were a ton of people as they just opened this location but shelves were well stocked.

    All foam no coffee

    Location is very small with not as much selection as other stores . I arrived around 1 pm and a lot of the baked goods were unavailable. I purchased two one ham and cheese and one coconut danish . I ordered a sea salt coffee and I feel like most of it was ice and foam not enough coffee for 5.50 . Won't be returning to this location . They haven't had their official grand opening hopefully they work out the lack of product

    Line out the door

    What makes this 85 Degrees bakery lack is its size. I've been to other larger 85 locations in town and this one is noticeably smaller. Perhaps when the hype slows down this location may work. But as of now, the lines will be out the door, which it was this morning. It took about 30-40 minutes to get in and out with a decent haul. That included a drink order. The baked goods were standard for this chain.

    EDIT: I returned and noticed the employees making Fresh Bread announcements a few times while I was waiting in line for a beverage. Seems like the vibe this time was more upbeat and hustle bustle. My first time trying the strawberry matcha latte and it is neat. The layered look got my attention. I'm not really into grassy matcha flavor, but the strawberry sweetness and creamy latte balanced it out for me. I got it unmodified, so thinking about dialing back the sugar to 50 or 75% next time and request less ice. The pieces of cut strawberry fruit were also nice but should I have gotten a boba straw instead?

    Came for the soft opening... newest trend in town.. be patient, the line does go fast. Cute little place. We got a few different things to try. All were really fresh, and I think priced less than other bakeries that are comparable. Love they have so many savory options as well. We will definitely be back!!

    5/9/2026 - Saturday, for a soft opening. They had a quick line outside and it took 2-3 minutes to get inside. I wouldn't come here for the next few weeks. It will be packed. Nice, clean and modern inside. As soon as you walk in, 2 self kiosks to order drinks. They call your number and in about 15 minutes you are good to go. Walk to the left for the drinks. Look for a white tray and load up on what you want and then wait about 15 minutes to pay for it. It will slow down. It is just new. The place is exactly the same as the others in San Diego. The green tea I ordered was very good. The pastries are exactly the same at the other stores elsewhere with no lines. Overpriced and average taste. The products are presented well, but over priced and not that good IMO. 4 stars overall. Check photos.

    Horrible. They NEVER have coffee. I've been 3 times and they always run out. I never have this problem at other locations. So bad.

    Almost a long-time customer here!…read more So I actually stumbled upon this place by accident some years ago, but it turned out to be a VERY HAPPY accident. This small and inconspicuous warehouse factory makes the best baklava I've ever had -- so much so that it ruined other baklavas for me. I can tell that so much love, thought, and care goes into making them; the delicate layers of each piece are fresh, perfectly balanced, and not cloyingly sweet. The owners here are so sweet and they always provide a free piece with my order. They sell their baklavas in boxes only, but you get to choose from 3 different sizes. You also get to choose from different flavors (pistachio, walnut, chocolate walnut, cinnamon walnut, almond-pecan, hazelnut) and sizes (they have triangular pieces and rolled pieces), but honestly I would recommend getting all of the flavors because they are all fantastic! Overall -- for immaculate baklava in San Diego, look no further than Baklava King! Their boxes make great gifts, too.

    Extremely happy I found this gem! I was looking for baklava for my friend's birthday when I came…read moreacross multiple Instagram pages. The other locations seemed boogie but if you're looking for real quality baklava to go, you have to try Baklava King! I can't imagine getting baklava anywhere else now. Their services are also always great. Highly recommend!
