One of the best blueberry muffins I've ever tasted! Inexplicably fresh and perfectly moist. I also loved the strawberry milk tea I ordered and added Boba!

The food was fresh and delicious! A really great price too. I walked out with four items for less than $10. I really enjoyed the safety protocols too. Made me feel a lot better. Can’t wait to come back.

Great bakery cafe, large with seating. Fresh pastries come out at certain times of the day. Initially came to buy a cake but ended buying individual slices instead - for the size of my party this was cheaper and we got to try multiple flavors.

Sweet little treats from 85s , We love having these during evening time after long boring workday and nice weekend to treat ourselves. Please try the roll and jalapeño cheese bread.

Love 85C but this place had no boba, no oolong, and barely any pastries (at 4:30pm, hours before they close). Drinks took a while to come out, seems like they may be understaffed like many other places.

Today's experience was very disappointing only to noticed that almost every shelf of "fresh bakery" was bare and this was only at 5:00 pm. The store doesn't close until 8:30 p.m according to the store hours. I've observed other customers like myself walked out the door due to unavailablility of products - the photos will tell all. The sign says "85' Bakery" not a coffee shop. Question for management: Why is it so difficult to keep your shelves full when it's 3 1/2 hours before closing?

Called in 20 min after opening and crew on the line told me to call back in 5 min because most crew are on break and cannot take my order. Called 3x now and not picking up. Highly suggest not to open store if not ready…

This place has awesome iced coffee and delicious pastries. It was recommended by my asian friends and did not disappoint. Check it out.

My god the breads.Every time I enter 85c bakery I can audibly hear my willpower plummetting. What even is Keto in the face of such things as egg tarts?!This place is fantastic. There are always plenty of trays and tongs by the doors, the displays are kept continuously stocked with a good variety of treat types, the location is clean, the workers are helpful and the space is roomy and bright.A few standouts for our family are the egg tart, raisin milk butter bun, hotdog bun, strawberry cream cheese, and garlic cheese breads. There are flavors available that would attract everyone from the mildest of palettes to the most adventurous.Quick tip, if you don't see your favorites out in the display cases, make sure to ask your cashier to check the back for you.

Clean space with easy hours. No real outdoor seating but going to be much more enjoyable once people can sit and eat inside for extended periods of time again
