My only concern is that the internet seems to go down fairly often. We've experienced it several times over the past few months. Other than that, the overall experience has been very positive.

What Happened to the Choco Bun?…read more Plenty of free parking. When you walk in, grab a tray and window shop all the pastries. They individually wrap these so grab what you want and place it on your tray. Once you're finished, cruise up to the counter. Would I Come Back? Yes, I keep coming back. I use to come back for the Choco Bun, but if they've changed the recipe at all locations, I'll only be coming back for the Milk Bun and Nougat. Their Signature Item: Egg tarts are their signature item. If you've ever been to an Asian party, someone almost always brings a box of egg tarts from 85-Degrees. But on today's visit. Well, just look at the photo. Someone stepped away from the oven for about 6 minutes too long. Choco Bun ($2.55, Grade D): The Choco Bun has been my absolute go-to for years--the closest location to me is usually the South Sacramento store and I tell everyone they have to get it whenever they visit an 85°C. Unfortunately, it's been about 8 months since my last trip, and the Choco Bun is no longer something to write home about. Milk Bun ($2.05, Grade A+): If you've ever had their Milk Bun with the custard filling, the Choco Bun used to be very similar in texture. Now, it's flat with super dry edges. Not good at all. Luckily, I also bought a Milk Bun (my usual second favorite), and by default, it's now my number one because the Choco Bun was a complete bust. It's so fluffy and sweet. Melts in your mouth. Strawberry Banana Smoothie / no boba ($5.85, Grade F): It was incredibly artificial-tasting--nothing real about it. I only made it through a quarter of it before throwing the rest into the garbage. My fault for hoping for a "just picked" fresh fruit taste, but this was honestly one of the worst smoothies I've ever had. Nougat ($9.60, Grade A+): The bagged Nougat candy is fantastic. It's soft, gooey, and packed with what I'm guessing are pieces of pistachio. Delicious, but a fair warning if you have dental issues: these will wreak havoc on your teeth. It's not quite as sticky as a Starburst, but it could definitely pull out a denture! Bottom Line: The staff here is friendly, and there are still a few standout 5-star items that make a visit worth it (the Milk Bun and the Nougat). However, the disappointing recipe change to the Choco Bun and the absolute miss on the smoothie knock this down to a 3-star experience overall.

Well here you are, looking at Alpine Pastry and Cakes. Is this place good? Do I take a chance?…read more Will I be disappointed? Yes, it is very good Yes take a chance. You will not be disappointed. My wife and son are dessert snobs. Both have been to Paris and say France has the best pastries. But wait, they just came back from Alpine, and what did they say???? DELICIOUS!! They were smiling from ear to ear! They bought a carrot cake and an assortment of fresh and tasty pastries. And they even let me have a bite. It was so good! Sooooo, yes, try them. We've all had crappy deserts before. Move up to the big leagues and give Alpine a try!

Oh I hate to do this because they have done cakes for me in the past, but the call I just got off…read moreof was SUPER unpleasant. I called in today to see if they could decorate a faux cake for me. Not only was she rude, but she told me she would charge me AS MUCH AS SHE WOULD for a real cake. You mean to tell me it would cost me $100 plus to decorate a piece of Styrofoam? And then, when I told her the shape of the Styrofoam, she flat out said no. As if the shape of the Styrofoam changes the action? And I'm not a baker, at least not a professional one, but something feels off about what feels like the refusal to help me. And it's not like I am looking for free service, I'm willing to pay, but I'm not willing to pay cake prices for icing on Styrofoam. Saying no, as a business is OK, I'm all for it. But customer service needs a serious rebranding. I have never had a good in person/over the phone experience. Their food speaks for itself, but the customer service skills really takes away the value of a local business that has been around for years. I hope whoever I spoke on the phone with has a better day

I've had a consistent experience at all the Uji Time locations I've been to! Great ice cream :) My…read morefriend and I came here for dessert after dinner nearby, and it was packed with teens and families. It's a popular spot in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking. You order on one (very big) screen, and an employee was also taking orders at the register which was nice. Swirl in a cup ($6.95): Love that the matcha and ube flavors are strong! Was still able to sleep at my regular bed time, so maybe the matcha caffeine isn't too strong if you're worried about that lol. My friend got the seasonal flavor, pineapple, and that was good too! Not exactly like dole whip, I would say creamier. The black sesame flavor was also excellent. It is piled high, a bang for your buck :) I forgot they also have drink and snack options, so I'll be back to try those!

This was my first time visiting Uji Time Dessert and I loved it!…read more I took my ice cream to go but there is some limited seating inside if you prefer to eat there. There are only a couple of tables and it's limited for any parties bigger than 4 or so. They have both soft serve and ice cream, but not in the same flavors- so just note that. They carry drinks, snacks and ice cream Of course- it all looks very appetizing. If you plan on getting more than one flavor of ice cream, they have recommendations. They also have flavors of the season (not sure how often it is switched). They recommend Ube and matcha together, so that is what I did. I purchased the Taiyaki cone (fish cone) filled with red bean paste, on top of Matcha and Ube soft serve. It was Delicious! It is such a good combo, both flavors are good by themselves but together with the cone and red bean paste was delectable. You can get the ice cream inside the cone but since I was driving and taking it to go- I wanted to avoid accidents. I should mention that staff was patient, kind were accommodating when I didn't order correctly. I forgot to ask for the ice cream in a cup with the cone on top when ordering. I am trying the pineapple soft serve next

I ordered the Caramel Brûlée Coffee with boba, which cost a little over $9. Unfortunately, it…read moretasted like watered-down coffee with an overwhelming amount of sugar and very little caramel flavor. Since I genuinely didn't enjoy it, I politely asked if they could remake it or let me exchange it for a different drink. Instead, I was told that if I wanted something else, I would have to purchase another drink. The only solution offered was $1 off a second drink, which was disappointing considering I had only taken one sip. At that point, I already knew the drink wasn't for me. As a customer, I wasn't expecting a refund. I simply hoped they would stand behind their product and provide good customer service. What disappointed me the most wasn't just the drink it was how the situation was handled. A small gesture, such as remaking the drink or allowing an exchange, could have turned a negative experience into a positive one and earned a loyal returning customer. Instead, I left feeling that customer satisfaction wasn't a priority. Sadly, because of this experience, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this place to my friends, family, or clients.

Street parking can be…read morea challenge if you come here during the day, but there are 2 parking structures nearby if you can't find street parking in front. The woman taking orders seemed friendly and we easily found a seat. I know there was a review that mentioned that finding a seat was difficult, but maybe it was the time we arrived or we simply got lucky. I ordered a hot matcha latte, sugar free and a frittata. I didnt wait too long for my drink at all. As a matter of fact, the barista was super fast! FYI: The restrooms are for customers only and it's All Gender Restrooms. You also need a code to get in so you'll have to ask an employee for the code.

A little bit further and in a different direction than I usually go, but nothing big or serious, so I will definitely return again.

To start, the employee working at the cash register was super friendly and gave great suggestions on drinks and food to order based on how sweet we like things or more coffee for we may want things to be. There isn't really any indoor seating space but they did build out into the parking lot with a few picnic tables and chairs for people to stay and eat their food. While we both really enjoyed the food - both of which were recommended by the employee - the coffee was not good at all. Pro: the avocado toast that we ordered had a curried chickpea salad on top and it had a delicious flavor. That was probably my favorite bite! We also shared half order of the blueberry waffle, and it had a type of granola on top that provided some really great textures. The food certainly impressed me. Con: Both of us felt like the coffee had none of the flavor that it was supposed to have (we both ordered the cardamom maple iced latte with macadamia nut milk) and instead, it just tasted like milk. It didn't even really have a coffee forward flavor. Since this is a coffee shop that was a pretty big disappointment. Overall, we enjoyed the food and service, but would skip the coffee.
