This place is great. We like to pop in every week or so and just pick up a new baked good To try. So far everything has been good. We even ordered a cake for Father's day. The process was easy and the cake was ready on time. Pros: * Nice Variety; recommend the red Bean Bun * Friendly staff * Clean restaurant Cons: * N/A Extra: * Come early as they will sell out * There is plenty of parking
I've been here a few times since they have opened and they always have amazing customer service. Today my cashier was Bronte (I hope I have that correct), she was amazing. So nice and went above and beyond in making sure I left with everything I wanted to try. The food is so affordable. Great place to come for a small treat and drink. They don't have drip coffee though if you like that.
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.
3.5 stars. The bakery items are the hook for me. Coffee is a work in progress here but I'll still come back for the tasty and cheap bakery items. The workflow involves, getting a tray near the entrance, choose a bakery item, then check out at the bakery counter. The coffee section is separate from the bakery counter. The bakery items are cheap and worthy of a visit even though they're still working out the workflow the bakery items are worth the visit. I do wish they open sooner, we'll see. We'll be back for more of these tasty nuggets!
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.
I went in at nine on Sunday. It wasn't too crowded but it took a while to get my coffee. There is not enough seating. You can grab and go. Nice place for variety. Cool on a hot day.
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.
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).
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
New to Santee! I love the fresh baked goods. Prices are great! Lots of savory and sweet options to choose from. They also sell whole cakes for parties. Today I tried the Strawberry Salted Butter Bread, Milk Flaky Pastry, Bacon & Cheese Bun. I enjoyed them all. The Strawberry bread was probably my favorite. I also love that they gave a reward program that offers some great perks. The restaurant was set up as an open area with plenty of indoor seating. Lots of specialty drink options also. I'll be back. read more

The pastries are great and this was a great addition to the area. The staff is typically very friendly and welcoming. My main complaint is their drinks. Their drinks consistently lacking and take quite long. The matcha drinks have very little matcha flavor and their hot drinks are served lukewarm at best. Also the most recent time I stopped by, the drinks were not being served full. read more
I was on an early deliver run and needed some fuel for the morning grind. Heard about this branch opening recently - much closer to me than the other 85°C bakeries in SD. I went in and saw the Egg Tarts and it immediately took me back to February 2025 at Lord Stow's Bakery in Macau where I indulged my very first and second Egg Tart! The one I picked here is the Mochi Egg Tart - a unique variation of this popular baked delight. It satisfied not just my curiosity but also my taste buds as I happily took bite after bite. Of course, it pales in comparison to Lord Stow's because it is not fresh off the oven but still a good eat! Place is typical of 85°C, well-lit, clean and organized ordering process. read more

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. read more
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. read more
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? read more
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!! read more
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. read more

Love, love, love this cafe!!! I am so excited this place opened here in Santee! When you just want to satisfy your sweet tooth, you HAVE to try this place! The Fudge Nut Brownie cookies are insanely good!! So rich, chocolatey and delicious that you only need one! Great to give as gifts as well! And the G.M. Anthony Ferrara is a rock star! He was very professional and provided outstanding customer service! All of the employees I encountered were equally as friendly and helpful. This is a store that definitely "leads by example!" as the employees seem happy to be there! read more

Wonderful to attend the Grand opening! The bakery was filled with sweet and savory treats as far as the eye can see. The employees are wonderful and the store is nicely designed. Once you step inside, you can't help but already fall in love with the fresh warm scent of bread! You will most definitely will leave with more than expected! read more

I had never been to a Japanese style bakery before it was a great experience. The place was clean and the ambiance was calm. They have 2 rows with the same items so people don't have to hover in 1 section. There are 2 drink ordering stations as soon as you walk. The only issue I found with these is that they had sold out labels of a few items that were actually available at the front register (I know this because my wife had the great idea of asking the clerk person). To me this is a negative feature since kiosks should reduce line waits, you take it as needed. My wife and I tried several things. We had the Strawberry Half Moon, Custard pastry and we also good a savory cheese garlic roll, strawberry matcha bun and we shared a mango cheesecake. For drinks she had the Vietnamese coffee and I had the seasonal Strawberry con Leche. As you can tell I like strawberries! Everything we had a 5/5 with the exception of the Vietnamese coffee which my wife scored a 4/5 and if I can give you a fair warning stay away from the mango cheesecake. That thing was terrible! It lacked flavor, it tasted old and the texture was weirdly grainy. Never getting that again. My favorite was the half moon, very airy and the flavor profile reminded me of a panadería "ojo de buey". I'm excited to be back and try some more of the savory options and I've seen on social media that they do have seasonal options so that's a great plus to keep customers engaged. read more

Glad to have an 85 degrees bakery in Santee. This location is fully stocked with pastries, sweets and their very own made coffee which is amazing. There are no seats inside to dine, but there are benches outside to sit. I can't wait to come again. read more

Today I ordered a Matcha Latte. I felt that the standard 75-cent boba add-on wasn't enough, so I paid for an extra 75-cent portion as well. However, when the drink arrived, the boba was far inferior to what I've had at other milk tea shops--there was way too little boba, and the drink itself was excessively sweet. I rate it a 2 out of 5 read more
