    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.

Craftsman and Wolves is a killer crafts bakery that makes the perfect Kouign-amann. The shop does many things including a signature bread pudding, small in size but big in flava. Measures maybe two and a half inches diameter, an inch thick. Packs a wonderful wowie punch with the seasonally ripe berries and fruit, plus a few pieces of specialty chocolate. My friend who knows from excellent pastries says the goods at C and W are special because the sugars in each item are balanced, not excessive. The goodies we sampled together were scrumptious. Somehow even my pedestrian palate senses that these dessert thingies are distinctive and of ultra quality. Ambiance-wise, it's a noisy place with a few tables lining the windows. You are elbow to elbow practically against neighbouring tables. I know I heard every syllable of the conversation going on to my right-hand side. I also knew it was Korean, so I couldn't successfully eavesdrop... boooooo. Very unique metallic artsy fashioned chairs make the space seem modern. There's merch in the corner and on a wall. You can get coffee drinks too. Service is excellent: the majestically tall staffer -- who I thought was manager but isn't -- was the kindest friendliest soul, very pleasant to chat with. Craftsman crew were mad busy, but always with smiles and ready to help customers. You won't find any bakery bites that are not delectable at Craftsman and Wolves. Kool yummy easy five stars.

Kouign amann actually fell short for me. It's too flaky and lack of the dough-y texture; and theres only sugar coated outside rather than caramerlized layers of sugar in better the lamination. There are also lots of sandwiches options Coffee is also good hence we come back for more. I would skip the matcha latte if you're a matcha snoob. Price is bit high for pastries. I would definitely take friends and family here for the wide option of pastries and sandwiches !

Instead, we received a cake that literally said "Happy Birthday DAD IN CHINESE!" in English. We honestly couldn't believe it when we opened the box. This was supposed to be a special birthday cake for dad, and the result was incredibly disappointing. Given the large Chinese community in the area, the request should hardly be unusual or unexpected request. At the very least, I would have expected someone to clarify the wording with us rather than literally writing "DAD IN CHINESE" on the cake. This is the kind of mistake that is utterly unacceptable should have been caught before the cake was handed to a customer. The photo speaks for itself. At this point, I feel like this was done deliberately to go viral or something. Unfortunately, this also isn't the first troubling experience we've heard about. A friend of ours ordered a cake from Simply Cake last year for his son's fifth birthday. When they went to pick it up the morning of the birthday, they were told the cake had not been made and that there was no paper trail of the order, even though he had brought the receipt. Needless to say, his five-year-old son ended up without his birthday cake on his birthday. And what were they offered afterward? 10% off their next cake. Ridiculous. Birthdays are special occasions that you don't get to redo the next day. Between our own experience and what happened to our friend, the lack of attention to these orders is extremely disappointing.

Interior is very neutral/beige with the pops of color coming from some plants scattered inside the space. There's WiFi available and for 6pm on a Saturday, it was empty. We ordered two cakes: pandan raspberry and a tiramisu. Both were really well layered but it tasted like the tiramisu had far more cake layers than the pandan raspberry. The pandan raspberry was more raspberry with minimal pandan flavor. The tiramisu tasted just like its name and was great! Both were very lightly sweet cakes, and it was surprisingly easy for my friend and I to devour two slices and still feel ready for dinner later. I wouldn't get the pandan raspberry again, but would be willing to try other slices with how the tiramisu was. The downside is the cakes are pricey. And it feels the interior can't decide if it's trying to be minimal on purpose, or the furnishings were meant for a smaller space/grab-and-go only spot originally but then they moved to a larger location with seating. Good cakes, I would consider swinging by here to pick up a slice for a special occasion.
