85°C Bakery Cafe - Receipt - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

I usually never write reviews for bakeries because it's not that complicated to get the bread you want and pay. But time after time, the cashiers are so rude. I usually come around 3 PM, on weekdays and it's always the same girl cashier that clearly hates her job. Today was my 4th time seeing her and I just feel bad that she hates her job so much. I even try to say thank you and have a nice day but she literally doesn't say anything. Also, I always buy almost $40 worth of bread and she tries to stuff all of it in one bag everytime! Wish there was self checkout! Like the other reviews said, the bread selection is nice but the customer service suck even though they just have to deal with us when paying. read more

The bread here is amazing!!! I love the chocolate croissant, which is flakey and not too chocolatey. The Hokkaido custard bun is my favorite!! It reminds me of a super soft donut with cream but better. I like the hot dog bun thing too. You can't go wrong with any of the breads. I am not too fond of the cake tho, it's not sweet enough for me. But their bread is better than pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread) and I'm Mexican American. The bread is soft, sweet, buttery, OMG read more

This 85 is located right next to momo paradise. Tons of street parking on first Ave and also in the parking garage in the back of the building. The bakery itself is similar to other 85s in the area, very clean and tidy. They always have a great selection of bread. My favorite is the brioche and the taro buns. They also have a large drink selection with the mango smoothie being my favorite. Definitely come here for your Asian bread and grab a drink while you're here. read more

I moved back home here in Arcadia recently and I gotta say this place is the best spot to have opened up in the last 10-15 years on Duarte Road; trust me, this is coming from someone who went to Dana Middle School and Arcadia High down the blocks. I used to spend an insurmountable amount of time hanging around Duarte Rd after school as a kid looking for some quality stuff to buy and there was never really anything good around...If this was open back in the day, I can tell you I'd be spending my entire monthly allowance here. Pastries are really tasty and great quality, not stale and lazily made like some other Asian bakeries. You can easily find pastries for under $2 here. They also have some really unique items I haven't seen elsewhere like matcha-flavored or mango-flavored bun-like pastry items...were so good. But most surprisingly is how great the milk tea is here and also for just around $3-4. I never thought a bakery would make milk tea this good, simple/straightforward with legitimate tea flavor (their green milk tea is my fav) unlike all the other presumptuous boba joints that have been popping up around the area charging overcomplicated, overpriced drinks that don't even taste that good. The service was also great every time I have been here, no issues whatsoever. I've been here like 5 times in the past 2 months and I'm going to be coming every week once this pandemic settles down. That should tell you something about this gem of a place. read more

This 85c is in a nice area, and the best part is, free parking is in the back! I got a iced hazelnut latte and the spinach and kale pastry. SO good! I like this location way more than others as it has good parking. read more

One can opine on any subject particularly bakery shop. And this 85C bakery cafe in Arcadia is a little bit smaller than its other store. I was expecting to find plethora of baked goodies and pastries but to my surprise when I saw their pastry shelves were completely empty. Furthermore, it's disappointing that they did not take the initiative to replenish them. A young male staff seem bored and taciturn. Parking lot is easy and convenient. Overall, I'm utterly disappointed and won't recommend this location. read more

Quite pleased with this location. Even though they're low on ingredients due to the pandemic, but this location still has some of my favorites. Picked up multi-grain toast, honey cake, salted butter bread and iced sea salt coffee. Been to the Alhambra & West Covina location within a few weeks time span, but both offered very little selection & extremely low on breads & baked goods. In terms of service, West Covina & Arcadia are better. read more

85°C Bakery Cafe - Pandemic quick stop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

I ordered some goodies for the staff, roughly 200 items or so, and got it on time, fresh, and nicely packed in a way that it was appealing to look at and safe to take. 85C was not initially my first choice after I tried Porto's Bakery which was impossible to order for the following day. I also had tried delivery but again Porto's and Berolina bakery did not offer that . So, I chose 85C bakery, which also did not have the delivery option but in contrast to the others was easy, offered free choices of date and time, and had a straightforward pickup. There was an empty customer same level parking garage, and the bakery staff helped carrying the goods to the car. The food items as such were of excellent quality. My favorite small bite: the Portuguese Egg Tart (which I had fallen for in Lisbon too ...). read more

The middle schoolers take over the parking lot with their skateboards and bikes and doing TikTok dances and is rude to people in the parking lot. And I've been asked 10 times by them to buy them something in there and they would be rude about it and they leave a mess with their drinks they get from the bakery. I love the bakery their food and drinks are good. Good on price. Just please put some boundaries for these middle schoolers read more

I came here last month during the time that my hubby was at a doctor's appointment. I thought I'd try and find us a snack and maybe some tea. I ordered two drinks: one of them was a flavored tea and the other was a fancier milk tea drink with what looked like caramel swirled in or something. I wasn't sure what it is that I'd ordered for my hubby. He likes the more "complicated" drinks. Haha. His was made wonderfully and he was so pleased. I, on the other hand, had asked for a particular level of sweetness but instead once I tasted my drink, it wasn't sweetened at all. I asked I they could remake it or add a sweetener to it and maybe put it into a different cup so it could be re-sealed. . . nope. Gee, that wasn't cool. I purchased a few baked goods, one of them sort of like a strawberry shortcake. My kiddo gobbled that cake slice up. They kept on telling me how soft the cake was and how good the strawberries were. Awesome. My hubby likes all their breads and rolls and things. I got a coconut and raisin twist I think it was for my Mom. She loved that it wasn't plain coconut and that it wasn't plain raisin. It was a good mix of both. I got one of the buns that had a hot dog inside of it and another that was a ham and cheese croissant. I had a flaky apple tart/danish. It was delish with the chopped almonds on top. Everything is very affordable and fresh. I always look forward to my visits to 85. It was just really unfortunate that my drink order couldn't have been corrected. Otherwise, everything else was very nice. The clerk was especially nice in adding a few last minute items to my order. That was especially nice. Parking was a tad confusing for me when I first visited. I ended up parking across the street, free street parking. There is a lot that I adjacent to the business like building that houses 85 degrees but I was just unfamiliar and didn't care to figure it out at the time. One thing that I will make sure to do too the next time I visit, I was waiting outside. Their doors were closed. I figured the doors were closed because there might be a store associate who would come and let me know if/when I could come in. I thought they were at their max number of ppl allowed in the store at one point. So, I waited outside probably looking like a fool. Eventually one of the associates came to the door and asked me to come in and apologized up and down for not having come to the door sooner. I explained my reasoning and they said that it was tough for ppl to see into the store sometimes because the windows are tinted. So, they just have to either be better at letting their customers know when they are waiting outside if they need to wait or if they can come on in or they will have to figure out some other method. We had a good laugh but that was no big deal. read more

Good place for getting a birthday cake or a slice of cake for yourself. Their iced sea salt coffee taste good, get a large size because you will crave for it. I think their cakes are very good, there are varieties of cakes you can choose from, like strawberry, mousse, mango, chocolate flavour. Beside cakes, of course there are plenty of breads in the store, I like the bread with sausages inside. Great place for getting your breakfast here. read more

Just like any other 85C locations. Although there is a noticeable change in what they manage because of the pandemic, I wish they found more ways to enforce social distancing. The front door said that only 5 customers were allowed in, and while I was inside a swarm of customers walked in and it didn't seem like the staff really cared. Not to mention, its already hard to keep a distance from one another when the self-serve bread area is kind of cramped. Other than that, the items I got were decent and I'm glad they're still opened, although I wish there was an option for curb-side pickup or some sort of online order and pick-up inside type service. read more

I love that this location is so close to work, but I am disappointed in the customer service here. Since its been open, I been in here a handful of times, each time for different items and unfortunately, the customer service has been lacking. Here is a list of my experiences: - ordered a drink, and I had to wait extra 15 mins, because the person who made the drinks decided to make the big drink order that was placed after me.. I ended up late for work - they ran out of clean tongs, I asked for some, they told me its on its way out, but it never came, I left without buying, I didn't want to stick my hands in the containers - too much chit chatting with their friends, I had to wait around to be rung up while the little ladies had their catch up session - got my drink but it was just ice, even tho I asked for little ice, can't help but to feel they did it on purpose Will i return, yes, given it so close to work, I will try again, I really wanted to chalk all my experiences to the place being new, but at the same time, these people should have trained. read more

Bad service! I was waiting at where the cakes are for over 5 minutes no one comes over. I when over to the cashier. And she said you have to order and pay first with unfriendly tone. They don't have the best cakes unfortunately they are the closest one. I will definitely go farther for a better service. read more

Solid 3 star review. Plenty of pastries and baked goods to choose from, but for a cafe to not have nonfat milk is just pure lazy. When one pays over $3 for a cup of coffee one expects details. With nonfat milk there one size, rather small by Starbucks standards, coffee would have earned them a four-star review. read more

Downgraded the review since the manager lied to me about how my order would be made. Ordered 10 slices of the blueberry cheesecake and was told they would mold all 10 together and glaze the top to make it look like a full cake. Came to pick it up and they just put 10 single slices into a circle. I had no time to waste so I just took it and left. Be careful when you preorder cakes, they could be BS'ing you about what they will actually do. Ended up with the ugliest holiday party cake. James Huang, thanks for lying to me! read more

This 85 is decent. Covered parking is the biggest plus, but I feel like the selection of bread is not as much as West Covina location. It's a great option for a quick grab and go breakfast. My go to is always the hot dog bun. The store is always clean and welcoming. The staff is fine. Nothing that would make me say they're friendly nor rude. They do quick check outs even when people are buying a mountain of bread. So that's a win in my book. read more

It's nice to have 85C Bakery conveniently located about 5 mins from where I live but the customer service here sucks. The girl that works behind the counter looks like she was mad at the entire world and seems to really hate her job. The male cashier didn't even bother to acknowledge me aside from ringing up my purchase. No hello, thank you... nothing. Just rang me up and handed me my receipt. They had just barely opened for 30 mins when I walked in so I really doubt they were tired from working. Maybe they were just tried of working there. ‍ There were about 3 other customers in the store and they pretty much treated everyone the same. Maybe it's time they look for another job if they are so unhappy there. read more

Clean and convenient location with private parking. The breads are good, my favorites are the Hawaiian chicken and also their brioche. They have good drinks and cakes too. Also sign up for their rewards program read more

Got home and was excited to start eating my bread, when I took out my receipt and noticed that the guy behind the counter charged me for an extra bread. Always make sure to check your receipt people, they might sneak in an extra charge. I purchased chocolate chip cookies, choco cookie bun, matcha choco bun, and two potatoes croquette. The choco cookie bun at first bite tasted okay and reminded me of cookies and cream flavor. However, as I kept eating it, it just didn't taste as good as the first bite. The top seems like a chocolate shell on top of the bread with it being coated with crumbs, which is really messy and hard to eat. I think they should have incorporated more of a chocolate flavor within the bread than to have a chocolate shell on top. The bread also seems a bit dry. That matcha choco bun was whatevers to me too. The matcha flavor wasn't that strong and I was expecting more of a chocolate flavor with this bread too. There was just a small spread of chocolate chips within the bread mixed with the matcha cream. Not a fan. The chocolate chip cookies were better than the other two. It was really soft, moist, and had a slight doughy texture to it. I believe they might have mixed in some oatmeal or something similar to the mix too, which I don't mind. I'm more likely to get this again, but not all the time. The potato croquette was something I actually enjoyed. Luckily, it was also buy one, get 50% off. I only purchased two, but regretted getting the sweets instead of more of this. The inside is like mashed potatoes mixed with corn and I don't know what else, but all I can say is that I would go there just for this. read more

Great, friendly, and very fast service!! This is probably one of my most favorite bakery stores ever! They have a lot of different kinds of delicious breads, great drinks, and some very beautiful cakes that you can choose from!! I order their Taro Lavender Latte Drink this time and it only takes like less than five minutes to receive my Taro Lavender Latte Drink that not many people show up in that store! The drink also taste so good and not so sweet at all either!! I definitely will come back here again when I'm in Arcadia!! Five stars is my total rating!! Thank you all so much for everything!!! read more

85°C is now open in Arcadia!!! (ﾉ*ヮ*)ﾉ*:･ﾟBRREEEAAADDDDDD!!!!!!! Sweet, sweet, but sometimes salty, breeeaaaaadddd. I got a free egg tart with my purchase during the soft opening. It's located next to Momo Paradise in the brand spankin new plaza on Duarte and First. Parking is kind of tight, access to the parking garage is on First. Location is spacious! Lots of comfy seating. For those of you who are unfamiliar with 85°C, it's popular chain of bakeries that sell a wide variety of Asian pastries, cakes, and drinks. If I were to compare it to other bakeries around the area, I'd say it's similar to Sunmerry Bakery and less traditional/old fashioned than JJ Bakery. The pastries are pretty solid, but nothing particularly mind blowing compared to other spots. Compared to the other 85°C locations, it's consistent with the rest bc they all tend to taste the same LOL. I recommend the Hokkaido cheese tarts! read more

85°C Bakery Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arcadia, California

A great place for coffee/tea and pastry. Have great selection of pastry and cake. The price is a little higher than over bakery locally. And the tastes is "stronger"(more cheese, butter etc). My only concern is, they do not have any drinks that contain no caffeine (like herb tea etc). Unless you want to order a fruit smoothie. But who want a smoothie in a cold morning? I wish that they have more no caffeine option like apple cider, mint tea etc. Seating is comfortable. Parking is ok. Great place for a chat with friends with tea/cake! read more

Today we were celebrating my grandma's 88th birthday and bought a coffee brulee cake for her. I've never had issues with 85 degree cakes from other locations in the past so I thought this was going to be a winner. I was so stunned when I took a bite of my slice only to find that the cake was super dry!! Even my betty crocker box mix would come out better than this. It tastes like its been sitting in the fridge for dayyssss. My whole family was fuming b/c we were so excited to eat the cake. I'm so upset because this cake was supposed to be the highlight of my grandma's night, and instead it was a disappointment ;(. read more

Yesterday this location hosted a group called Wider Circle. One of their members started harassing a regular patron, calling them names and being rude. Completely unacceptable behavior from another customer. The staff did nothing of the sort to prevent or stop this behavior.

Employees are kind and helpful if you have questions or want to try something new. Everything there is delicious.

I saw the ad and decided to get 85 degree gift cards for my son's teachers. They told me no more cups after I purchased three gift cards...... I had purchased King grapefruit green tea three times here(cuz that's my favorite drink from other 85 degree) and None of it taste right. First time the honey was all down in the bottom. Second time honey was on the grapefruit not Mix with drink, and my straw can not even get through the grapefruit.Today they don't care to squeeze out the grapefruit juice first, There is no grapefruit taste in it. read more

Love the sea salt coffee and sea salt jasmine tea. You can customize the sweetness and ice levels, but I like the normal sweetness with less ice so you can buy a bunch and keep it for a few days in the fridge for later. There is a good variety of savory and sweet breads. I highly recommend the Hokkaido cheese tarts, cranberry cream cheese bread, rose cream cheese bread, boroh bread, and garlic bread. There's also a beautiful display of sliced cakes and birthday cakes. Free covered parking located in the rear. Sign up for 85C app to collect awards. read more

Location: 4 stars Food: 4.5 stars Price:4 stars I have been waiting for it to open when I first saw the sign that 85 C is going to open in this location . Soft opening between 12/4-12/12. Grand Opening on Friday 12/13, and per the staff, if purchase anything on grand opening day u will get a free tote bag and if purchase was over $20, then you will get a free 85 C mug (which I believe is the one that worth 200pt on the 85C app) Food: I gave it a 4.5 stars because their breads are always fresh and their are many varieties. If you like egg tart, they have the best around this location area! They also offer drinks and area for customers to enjoy their coffee/tea with their buns/cakes (see pix) Price: I give it a 4 stars and not 5 since bakeries around this area are a bit pricier than other area like SG or MPK. But their price are still reasonable compare to those within the area. You will still able to find a few buns that are within $2. They also have pastries which are nice and tasty too. The whole cake pricing is more reasonable then the individual small slices. Location: 4 stars Very convenience for those who lives or work around this area as there aren't this type of bakery around. It is very close to Arcadia High as well. read more

It is a somewhat average Asian bakery. Bread goods are typically what you would find in any Asian bakery (like bolo buns). They are not better nor worse than any other Asian bakeries. I am disappointed in their cakes though. I have tried different cakes from time to time. Their cakes never cease to un-impress me. Think alot of whipped cream with fruit pieces but never have strong intended flavors (like tiramisu does not taste like a traditional tiramisu , or mango brulee does not taste like creme brulee but a light hint of mango with lots of whipped cream) I wouldn't buy cakes from this place anymore, perhaps bread goods if I feel like it. read more

Went when it opened and a second time with my sister. Both times the amount of breads was kinda limited to doubles of a lot of stuff. But everything we got was still tasty. We also got bubble teas, which were all tasty as well. Will keep coming back! read more

Came here on a Monday for their Sea salt series BOGO, sadly they said they don't have that promotion here because it's grand opening :( you would think they'd want to use this to promote the store... Also, some of the bread here do look smaller in size than other 85C locations. And the Hokkaido tart I got, you can tell it is made by a beginner. After all this, I still decided to give them a 4star rating because I ordered the iced 85C coffee and it was just as excellent!
