The staff were still very pleasant and patient with us even though were came around closing time. We purchased the items that were on the tray. The matcha and chocolate mochi donut was one of my faves. Delicious, chewy and packed with chocolate flavor. Had a thick slightly crunchy coating of Chocolate on the mochi donut and a powdering of matcha on top. Bomb! The blueberry donut filled with lemon curd was absolutely divine. So good and the filling was way better than I anticipated. The chocolate croissant was filled with a chocolate creme, loved it so much!. The red bean past donut was not a fave of mine but I also don't enough red bean paste very much to begin with. The other two I didn't get a chance to try but I'm sure they were great as well.

They close at 8:30 and I came in 2 hours before. The pastries leftover were scooched over and the labels did not match entirely what they were. It was difficult to know what I was picking up onto the tray. There was also a small fruit fly or gnat flying around inside the bakery case as well. The icing of the orange donut thing also got stuck to the box and we had to scrape it off... Out of 4 pastries none of them were really that good, it really made me not want to come back. I also ordered a plain iced coffee and the coffee quality is not good at all. Tastes like it was made from a Mr coffee machine at home. Service was friendly. She explained each pastry when we asked what we picked up. Small location inside the market. Parking in the plaza. Restrooms are located within the building.

We go here all the time! And It is very convenient that it is nearby so that we can come anytime…read more We walk into the cafe, select from one of the treats that are finely displayed onto the shelves. There is a variety of different items that go from sweet tastes to savory. You could also choose one of the cakes that are on the glass display; an assortment of diverse cake options, with fruit toppings and delightful deserts like Tiramisu and Pudding. The staff are chill. When you place your tray at the front desk, the pay goes smoothly. Ambiance is cozy, it feels nice to walk around these yummy deserts and see the options. I picked up the hot dog and brioche, which I will describe below. Cleanliness is top-notch, never had a complaint about dirty spots. The displays are cleaned to perfection, absolutely spot-less. Hot Dog The hot dog is spicy and sweet mixed into a savory bread. The crust is so soft with crispy edges. That bread made me so full the entire day. If you want a little savory snack that will fill you up, this sure does it well! The hot dog meat was fresh and loved the garnish as well. Brioche I always get this bread when I visit the bakery. So freshly prepared as always. Love how soft and delicious it tastes. I seriously need to know how they make this because the bread is a good option if you are craving sweet bread but also not too overpowering. Thank you 85°c Bakery for the delicious treats!

It's been several years since I had a scone of any kind. My one and only experience was a hockey puck, rock hard and pretty much inedible. THIS ONE CHANGED MY OPINION. I guess the one I got years ago was a bad one. This one was soft inside lightly crunchy outside, slightly warm still, delicious and well balanced, not overly sweet. Slightly buttery with a hint of lemon. The blueberries looked real and they aren't stingy quantity. The service was very helpful and friendly, not a hint of snobbery. I'll definitely be returning to satisfy the sweet tooth.

One thing I wish they had more of is seating, as there aren't many tables to enjoy your food inside. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive. They often remember customers and greet you warmly, which makes the experience feel even more special. The bread and cakes are delicious, and the portions are quite generous. My favorite is the hazelnut coffee. Enjoying a warm cup of it with their fresh bread is just perfect.

The pastry cases are packed with a huge variety, from savory buns to delicate cakes, and everything looks like it was made just minutes ago. The layout is clean, organized, and easy to navigate, even when the place gets busy (which it usually does). Staff keeps the line moving efficiently, and you can tell they work hard to keep everything stocked and fresh. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. My go‑tos are the sea salt coffee, the cheese bread, and pretty much any pastry that has a honey-forward glaze. Everything comes out soft, warm, and consistently delicious. It's the kind of bakery where you grab one thing... then end up adding three more to your tray because everything looks too good to pass up. Whether you're stopping in for a quick treat, grabbing a box to share, or just need a pick‑me‑up pastry, 85°C is a solid, reliable favorite. Miguel C.

I kept putting in my cc and the machine wouldn't take it. He decided to take on other customers and was busy working around me. He would say oh does your card have money on it? Try it again... try it again. I was getting frustrated. I stood in line like everyone else did and expected to be helped, but was brushed off with irritating comments. His coworker Mariah stopped what she was doing and helped me. I ended up paying with cash because the machine said it could not read my cc. I just really wanted to give a shout out to the employee, Mariah. I watched her as I waited. She was more than efficient and was making sure that everyone got what they needed. I get it sometimes it gets a bit busy... although it was not that busy at that moment... but I have to say Mariah looked at the fine details. If it wasn't for her I would have given a 1 star. She even made sure she came to the drink station. They put my drink to wrap the top they went on about their business and it sat there for a bit, but she saw it and put the drink on the counter. This girl needs to be promoted and needs a raise. She does above and beyond what she is supposed to do and needs to be acknowledged. She was kind, diligent and more than efficient. She even was putting the lid on things that the others left the lids off. Thank you Mariah, I really appreciated the help and you taking care of what I needed. :) I wish there were more of you in this world! :)

We ended up getting egg tarts and the NEW Strawberry Matcha Bun. We devoured the egg tarts in the car! The Strawberry Matcha Bun was soft, creamy, matcha flavored and smooth strawberry custard!

Every time I come to this store, I always have a bad experience at the registration when she's there because she was being rude and dismissal, no eye contact to the customers. I once complained about her to her manager. Today, I was at the registration waiting, and the lady before me was telling her that she wants to add some of the cakes in the display. She completely ignored her and she said she'll ring it later. The lady bought a lot of stuff and was asking for a big box and she said NO and refused her request. The lady then reminded her about the cakes and the staff KARINE was just staring at the lady and didn't do anything. She seemed irritated about the lady because the lady was having a hard time explaining herself in English. I stepped in and said "Can you please help the lady already?" And I was pointing her to the direction of the cakes in the display. She rolled her eyes and went to the cakes area. If there's an option for a zero star, I would give her a ZERO. She shouldn't be at the front, her customers service suck!!!!!

My partner and I stopped by Cafe 86 in Carson hoping we had found our next go-to halo-halo spot…read more Unfortunately, authenticity and customer service were both missing from the recipe. Parking was easy, and when we walked in, there was only one occupied table. Three employees were chatting in the back. We were greeted, but it felt more like, "What would you like?" than "Welcome in." No smile, no conversation, no thank you--just a transaction. After taking our order, the employee returned to chatting with coworkers. When our order was ready, our name was called, the halo-halo was placed on the counter, and that was the end of the interaction. As for the halo-halo itself, my partner rated it a 2/10. It was overwhelmingly sweet and overpriced for what we received. We were hoping for layers of flavor and nostalgia but got a sugar rush that could probably power a small city. As a business owner myself, I understand that customer service is one of the biggest drivers of customer retention. Great products can bring people in once, but great service brings them back. Unfortunately, this visit missed the mark on both. The good news? These issues are fixable. A little more warmth, engagement, and hospitality would go a long way. Until then, we'll continue our search for our next favorite halo-halo spot.
