    Came here to try the infamous iced Vietnamese coffee with sea salt crème and wow it tasted delicious the only complaint I have is the over amount of ice they use. I took two sips and it was gone. For the price I felt like it could have been more product less ice. The service was great there wasn't a lot of people. They have a tons of options for bakery items and I tried one and it was okay nothing special. Overall don't think this will be my go to Vietnamese coffee spot however was good to try.

    This is the 85*C Bakery at Waterford Shopping Center in San Jose. This is a small self-service bakery, with no cafe area. I was here years ago, and the place appears to have been remodelled. It now has a larger counter area for serving coffee and drinks, and selling cakes. The tables and coffee bar were removed. I was there on a Wednesday, at around 5pm. You walk in, grab a tray, and make your selections. The items available were limited. My favorites like egg tarts and butterfly cookies weren't there. So I picked a coconut twist, chocolate roll, and strawberry danish. Everything was fresh and delicious. So I will return if I'm in the area. Lots of free parking, and it's near the freeway.

    I stopped by on my way back from the gym. It was an impulsive decision, as I was craving some sweets. This 85 location is small - and since it was right before a holiday - very crowded. I thought I would be in and out in about 10 minutes, but I was there for close to 25 minutes. Selecting my items was quickish, but waiting to pay was long. The kiosk for cakes/drinks was broken, so everyone was in line. There were also a ton of people trying to pick up their orders online and there just weren't enough workers. Not their fault - but having two people work one register (training someone?) and/or wandering off from the register to do something else when there's tons of people waiting - that wasn't very customer friendly. I came before noon, so I thought the selection would be decent. I was disappointed. Again, maybe it's the holiday weekend and whatnot, but many of what I usually get were gone. The experience was made worse because some kids were running around and grabbing things (and sometimes putting them back) right in front of people who were there first. Parents weren't paying attention and staff was overwhelmed with customers. Overall, I might try this location again on a quieter day (because I love the pastries!) - but it doesn't make me want to go out of my way to come.

    This bakery is clean and well-stocked with baked goods. I bought a birthday cake, and they were out of those little birthday signs. The employees were not very friendly.

    I usually come in for coffee at this location. I have never had an issue until today. I came in for a Vietnamese coffee and took about three sips and it was gone . The amount of ice is insane! I expect a little more if I am paying roughly $8-10 dollars.

    Althought the cake is good, but I have bad experiences here! The service is so bad, one of the worker is so rude, I ordered coffee and the lady just give me the coffee with attitude, we was asked for a bag and she was not really care at all.

    Sometimes I come for their light and fluffy bread. This was the first time I was on a mission for pumpkin bread. I never knew they had it till a week ago. No luck last week but success this weekend. I tried it and its delicious. The bread itself is not that sweet but the filling which was a surprise was just the right amount of sweet. There's even a chocolate stem. Yum!

    Sea Salt Coffee and Jasmine Tea
    Kelli K.

    Love 85 degrees! I love the egg tarts and their sea salt coffee/tea! The Sea Salt Jasmine is so creamy and refreshing! The strength of the tea flavor is great without it being super bitter! I usually order this in a large with light ice! The Sea Salt Caramel Coffee is yummy as well! It's got a solid coffee flavor with a nice toffee caramel flavor! The egg tarts are delicious. The crust isn't crispy but it is slightly flaky. It's soft, creamy, and not too sweet! You can get two egg tarts for a little over $4. A bit expensive but hits the spot.

    One has no maple flavor not even towards the center.  Something missing or my taste bud lacking?

    Great tasty bakery. Except maple flavor lacking in one. Something missing or my taste bud is not working?

    Sooo much ice.
    Britany G.

    I come here every once in a while and usually get some bread and Vietnamese iced coffee. Howeverrrrrr, it seems like every time I come I get less and less coffee as the amount of ice is increased. Today was the final straw. I got two good sips in and all of the sudden my drink was gone. The ratio of crushed ice to coffee is ridiculous ! I love their bread so I will be back, but I am not getting their drinks again.

    Chocolate Mousse Cake.
    Tram N.

    Get their chocolate mousse cake. I ordered a few slices in the past. I was given a whole cake for my birthday thanks to my team in Singapore, a bought a whole cake for a retirement lunch, and I bought another whole cake yesterday for a team member's birthday. It's incredibly moist, chocolaty, decadent, rich, creamy.... just heavenly! It stayed fresh and moist (never dry) even on the 6th day in the fridge. I was very surprised at how well it held up and how it was still delicious after so many days. There seems to be a line no matter what time you come. Sometimes their whole cakes are sold out, too. I love their pastries, but their chocolate mousse cake cannot be beaten.

    Hmmm... I am surprised I have not reviewed this place before as I've been here several times over the years. Anyways, they are located in a large plaza with Lucky Supermarket, Cha Cha Sushi, etc. Parking is not an issue! The service was friendly. Great place to pick up some baked breads, pastries, cakes, coffee, or milktea drinks. Overall 3.5 stars

    I was chewing on my tiramisu cheesecake and this was in the bite. It doesn't resemble any of the packaging. 12/07/2025.

    My favorite coffee shop in San Jose. I look forward to going every time. All their drinks are…read moreexcellent. I started with the vanilla bean latte with oat milk. Good hot or iced. Occasionally burnt espresso but I love them too much to mind. I am a matcha snob to say the LEAST. Hands down best coffee shop matcha in the Bay Area. The classic iced matcha latte with honey is grassy and earthy and creamy and a little sweet. The iced banana pudding matcha latte had people lined up around the corner for months when it came out. It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great. Basically you can't go wrong. They are always changing up the menu for the new season and have lots of unique drinks on their menu. Not much seating inside at this location. The winchester Blvd one has more if that's what you're looking for. Their pastries are also all yummy and they sell their matcha powder for $60 for 100g which is a GREAT price for a great matcha. I would've gate kept this place but everyone already knows about it so I HAVE to show them the love they deserve!!

    Wanted a matcha and a friend recommended this place! Known for their Banana Cream Matcha latte…read more Came here abt 2:30pm on a Friday and it was a full house. There is a bench-like tables with stools and 3 yellow tables for seating. There was limited street parking. Quick and friendly service - basic "what can I get you?" and no convo. I liked the hojicha the most but all drinks were good. Banana matcha was creamy and sweet. Vanilla cold brew was yummy and vanilla was not too overpowering. Would come again to try their pastries, they were allllll out. Order: 1 Matcha Banana Cream $8.50 1 Hojicha Banana Cream $8.50 1 Madagascar Vanilla Cold Brew $5.50
