I had dinner at Waterford Plaza and was glad to discover an 85 Bakery located there. A few Yelp friends reviewed the one in Cupertino and I'd been wanting to check it out. There were no other customers at 8:30pm on a Friday night. The three young staff members were involved in a lively discussion and didn't seem to notice me, which was fine. The bakery reminded me of Paris Baguette because you take a tray when you enter and grab the baked goods that you want, self-service style. However, 85 Bakery has no tables or chairs. The shelves were a little bare, which made sense late in the evening. I saw plenty of tempting pastries like walnut cinnamon rolls, almond half moons, and chocolate sponge rolls. I ended up getting three chocolate dipped strawberries from the refrigerated case. The staff member put them in a nice blue box with a windowed lid. I noticed when I got home that a sign in one of the photos I took said they were having a special, buy three chocolate dipped strawberries and get one free. No one mentioned it when I bought mine. The chocolate dipped strawberries were so refreshing. The chocolate was sweet, but not overly so, and the strawberries were large and ripe. I polished off all three pretty quick and enjoyed them very much. I'd love to go back and try some of the pastries that caught my eye. I'd also like to try an egg tart and ham and cheese, which I hear are very good. read more

Horrible customer service. They ran a promotion and insisted that the app would need to be used. When I pulled up the app, it wasn't able to load. I asked if they have WiFi I could log in or if there's anyway I could get the promo as I have the app and can provide my number but the staff told me there's nothing they can do and I could leave and come back later when my service is working again. Make it make sense. read more

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. read more

They have the BEST mango creme brulee cake ever! No one's mango cake compares to theirs. It's light, fluffy, has the perfect amount of sweetness that makes you feel like you're fine indulging in its sinful delicousness. The tiramisu is delicious too, although I don't recommend if you're serving children...because of the coffee flavored lady fingers! read more

85°C Bakery Cafe-Waterford - Mango creme brulee special mother's day cake $39 - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Store was crowded on Sunday afternoon. There were with lots of pastries available. Sea salt coffee drink is pretty good as expected. Cake slices were dry and not worth even with 1/2 off slice promotion for August with app. Black Forest cake didn't really taste like chocolate. My daughter took a bite of Red Velvet and didn't finish it. There's no seating at this location. Ample parking makes it convenient. read more

I was enjoying my tiramisu cheesecake until I started chewing on this. Initially I thought I accidentally chewed off a piece of the lining, but everything is intact (the box, the plastic cover of the cake). The piece that I chewed on is not directly from my cake packaging, which made my stomach turn. This cake was a solid 8/10 until I ran into this mysterious paper in one of the bites. Cleanliness wins over taste any day, so this is my last time coming to this bakery. read more

I got a red velvet cake slice today and each layer was super dry and flavorless. I honestly think it must have been a couple days old, so I didn't even finish it even though I hate wasting food. I got their iced sea salt coffee too which was the saving grace of this review. read more

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 read more

What happened to 85 degree at this location? Everything was ok until the store closed down for repair and now it's not as good as before. Brioche is smaller and look very tan, not as sweet as before. Egg tarts are smaller, extremely thin, and very pale. The tarts no longer have the burn top so I have to put it in the oven to heat it up again. The oolong milk tea with boba is crazy sweet. read more

So many delicious baked goods here!! I went around 10am and they're fully stocked. The staff always restocks when items are getting low. Everything as a sign with a price. The price is affordable too! They have an app! You earn points for free stuff! They also have promos! Definitely get the app if you go often! The place is very clean with line goes by quickly. I like to order cakes here for events as well. My fave bakery shop. read more

My family loves the Ube bread from here and I used to love the cheesy loaf before going gluten free. I didn't find any gluten free bakery items when there but I did enjoy a lychee green tea. The tea was very sweet even at 50% sweetness. My friend got the lavender taro latte and said it tasted slightly powdery but still enjoyed it. The interior is clean and well organized but some of the bread items were not labeled so it was difficult understanding what I was picking. I still found the Ube bread and it did not disappoint! The cashier also helped us choose a drink which we appreciated. read more

I am very disappointed with my experience today. I purchased 10 pastries, and the employee told me there were no boxes available and that I had to pay $2 for a bag, otherwise I would have to carry all the pastries individually. What made this even more upsetting was that the customers after me were given boxes without being charged. I don't understand why I was told there were no boxes, while others clearly received them. I have never had to carry so many pastries without proper packaging from a bakery before. It felt unfair and unprofessional. As a paying customer purchasing 10 items, I expected better service and consistent treatment. Very disappointed. read more

Service was terrible.. ordered online some coffees at 11 and came to pick up at 11:30 and was told to wait 5 more minutes? I don't understand a 35-40 minute wait for 3 sea salt coffees. Employees at the time had no sense of urgency or efficiency. Only one employee was on the register and he was counting money super slowly when a long line was starting to form. The ladies he was helping saw a deal after they were done being rang up and the worker proceeded to ask them if they had an app and to download the app while he waited.. I stood there for 5 more minutes while these ladies figured out how to use the app. I wish he could have told them to step aside so he can help the next customer and let him know when they're done or call for help on another register.. I left super disappointed and ended up canceling my order. Please do better! read more

This bakery is on the more pricey side but you will find sweet and savory treats to satisfy the cravings. During our most recent visit, we picked out a bit of everything and had it boxed to take home. There are also sliced cakes (red velvet, tiramisu, etc.) available for purchase. You can even call ahead to order a customized cake for a special occasion. Service was not the greatest but we are in the midst of the holiday season, so we all have to be just a bit more patient. read more

Decent pastries & drinks, but good selection of cakes. The drinks that I tried on this specific day were the taro lavender latte & strawberry matcha latte. I find that the taro latte was way too sweet. The strawberry matcha isn't the best here, but it's convenient if ur buying pastries and drink in one place. I also got the tiramisu cake for my sister's birthday, and it was delicious! If ur undecided, they have small slices of cake for you to try out before u buy the bigger size. read more

This is my 2go IF I have time on my way to work, I'll definitely stop here not only for the hot fresh baked goodies, but depending on the weather, highly recommend Sea Salt Caramel (iced or hot) you will not be disappointed. The more you pay them a visit, they start to know your order & you'll always get the Great Customer Service w/a smile. If you go before 8am, All the yummies won't be out, but you can always ask, cause it could be in the back waiting to come out. Lots of parking because it's located in a huge plaza. They had it newly remodeled & it's well lit inside, assuming they were going for a New Vibe. read more

Don't care how good your cakes are, but if you sell full sized cakes, be prepared to have greetings (written, ornaments, candles etc) for the cakes . A cavalier "sorry we are out" seems like a very wrong thing to tell your customers! The mangoes on the Mango Brule cake was unripe! Hard, tart, and inedible - not the first time too! read more

Love that 85 degrees is close by my nest. I only come here for their iced salted caramel coffee and few pastries like their wheat mushroom and sung pork bun plus my all time fave potato croquettes but something I had discovered today while munching on this guy. As you can tell, photos don't lie. Ate half of my potato croquette, where is the rest of my filling??? I get the presentation, the flakiness and all but don't skimp out all the fillings. To me that is the queen of my crop when I am trying to enjoy my breakfast or snack for the day to hold me down. I am utterly disappointed. Nowadays you can't buy nothing for cheap. Gone with the wind those days when life and food was pleasurable. Gonna have second thoughts coming here for anything that's stuffed. Peakaboo, it's a scandal. No filling to my surprise. read more

Food great as expected but the drink was very disappointing. Awful smoothie. Watched them make it. Pure Ice and syrup, no fruit in the banana strawberry smoothie. For $6 dollars you'd expect at least real fruit or chunks. It was a majority of ice and some syrup. Has no flavor and just tastes like ice with a hint of flavoring. It's not even a smoothie at this point. Just a blended snow cone. I had no time to ask for a remake or refund so I'll just leave a review. read more

On November 23rd the day after my birthday I was craving some milk buns. So I ordered three on the app and sent my mom to pick them up and I was extremely disappointed. They used the wrong bread which was dense and nowhere near and sweet. But they did use the custard and I scoop the custard out of one bread ate the custard and gave the other two breads to my mom for her to eat. My mom went around noon time to pick up the bread. The custard is the only reason why they're getting two stars. read more

THE BEST! Absolutely the best bread, desserts, and drinks, the service is top-notch with the absolute kindest people that work there!! They called me because they were out of the Marvel tarot and it said is there anything else that you like and I named off a few things and they replaced the two marble taro with some Ube which I didn't even know they had and then on top of that they gave me five different kinds of bread that they thought that I would like !! When I tell you generous doesn't even describe how kind and lovely this lady was she totally made my day. I wish I knew her name. This bakery, their prices are beyond fair to the point where I feel like it's a steal! I almost feel bad pain so little because the quality of their products are out of this world. I've never had anything like this. I'm not even a bread person, but I have completely fallen in love with all of their different varieties of breads- savory or sweet that they offer. They're not five stars. They are 10 stars.. if you have not gotten a chance to try them out when I tell you that you should run there and not walk you'll be beyond impressed and pleased to have found such a GEM of a bakery. thank you again for you generosity and kindness on the phone. I never would have expected you to send me several more things because you were out of what I ordered and you wanted to make up for that and to you I thank you so very much Bailey By the way they stuff the taro bun with so much taro it's heavy yet bun is fluffy and perfect. The taro is to die for it's absolutely mouth watering delicious. . read more

My son and I come here a lot. It's two blocks from our house so we love to walk and grab a bunch of baked goods pretty frequently. Every time we come, everyone is so nice and friendly to him. Today we decided to walk the long way here to enjoy the sunshine. He got thirsty and I forgot his water bottle. The cashier was so nice and gave him a cup of ice water. He was so happy--all he could talk about on our walk home. Who knew a cup of water would impress him that much! I didn't get her name but on the receipt it says Taylor Mai (?). Shout out to her service today. read more

I purchased two cakes- Black Forest and coffee crème brûlée. They were the DRYEST cakes I've ever eaten in my life. They were not moist whatsoever and they were lacking flavor.

If you love 85 degrees Cafe, then you know the tasty treats they await you at every location. I had the ham and cheese today and it was delicious! I usually have their coffee, but they ran out of coffee hence the lower star rating.

The service was decent, but very slow and not very personable, it felt robotic. read more
