    All these options. Where do I even start? I honestly want to try everything. I've been coming here for years, and the quality has always been pretty consistent. It may not be the best Asian-style bakery I've had, but it's definitely not the worst. The service is quick, the staff are friendly, and the space is spacious, perfect for groups.

    Amazing bakery in Houston's Chinatown!! And so reasonably priced for the quality! LOVED the Hokkaido cream bun -- so good, such a soft texture with perfect filling (not too sweet) just fluffy!!!! Like a cloud in a bun. We really liked the potato croquette as well as a savory option (crunchy, and I think some corn inside, not too salty) and brought a bunch of other buns home to try. Everything is individually wrapped which makes it easy to carry out. We also had the mango delight that was behind the glass--mild but very clear mango flavor; with beautiful layers inside. Would highly recommend!!! Also nice natural sunlight with a few seats.

    So much to choose from. Their buns with cheese are delish. Ordered the mango strawberry smoothie which was refreshing. Would definitely return to hit the sweet tooth!

    Love their pastries and their cashier is fast and friendly. Tried their strawberry danish in season right now and it's cute and delicious. Grabbed a few other slices of cake to share later and they are so cute and I know I my friends will enjoy Try the strawberry danish while in season

    Always stop by to grab some pastries and desserts when we are in Bellaire. Our family favorites are the chocolate bun and the brioche bread, but there are very few things we don't like. I will say, the prices have dramatically increased from even just last year but I understand the rising cost of everything. The lines are as long as they were when they first opened years ago, but the foot traffic inside can still be pretty bad some weekends. And parking is always a nightmare in this area, so just be mindful of who's backing in and driving into spots!

    I've been going to this location for several years and usually visit a couple times throughout the year when I have to host a party. The spinach kale danish is my favorite but it is usually sold out. I once came 10 min after opening and it was already sold out so ended up waiting 20 min for the restock. I also like the egg tart & Hokkaido cheese tart. I've tried the iced viet coffee but it was too sweet for me. My go to is the iced lychee tea. Parking lot is spacious so usually never an issue. The checkout process is usually quick and the staff are always friendly.

    Buns

    Still my favorite place to go in Chinatown. My family and I get the same buns every time. My favorite is the Matcha bun and the Choco buns Oreo buns. All of those are my son's favorite and my husband is the only one that's brave that tries a little bit of everything. I love the strawberry dessert. I don't know how to explain it, but it looks like angel food cake with strawberry and cream. It's so delicious as well as the lemon cupcakes that you can grab on your way out. The service is always good to me. I know they take a while but that's only because you can tell how busy they are but they do have or you can order ahead. You can order from a machine as soon as you get there and wait on your drink they have many options And of course we're in Chinatown so you feel that vibe.

    I love 85 bakery. I've never had anything bad from here. I normally order the sea salt caramel latte but they were out so the employee recommended the zebra oolong milk tea. The flavor was subtle. I wasn't wowed about the flavor; I regretted it lol. But whatever I will continue coming back for their baked goods and lattes.

    Pastries are good but I wouldn't recommend drinks from here. Here's a picture of a $8 matcha...I think they should've added more matcha and less sweetness. Like it doesn't even look green it's a super pale green/brown color. Probably won't go back

    The cakes and milk buns are must!! They sell seasonal items such as mooncakes too. Also slices of strawberry cakes. We usually order our birthday cakes from here. They're fresh and not too sweet '(that's a compliment ) We stopped by after dinner for some desert. Picked up some freshly baked pastries. The line was long but moved quickly.

    Absolutely love this bakery that we stopped by twice during our Houston visit. They had unique bread that we do not have on the east coast. The milk bread was our favorite as it had a light custard inside. We loved how most items weren't overly sweet and were so fresh. Be prepared to wait in line though as this bakery gets really busy and quite crowded. They also have a variety of teas available and some seating on the side.

    This is the best 85 degrees location I have ever been to! My big reasoning for this is the actual baking of the pastries and bread. They are perfect! I had always thought 85 degrees was known for slightly underbaked bread but it must have been that one store. This location is very spacious and clean. Variety of pastries on the shelves wasn't as vast as I would have preferred but everything they had was great! I bought the guava turnover, mango custard bun, milk bun, and the spiral taro. Yummy! The only thing not amazing was the sea salt coffee. It was a little flat for me. This was a reward from their app so no big deal. Definitely a good place to grab desserts! I'll be back.

    Is it keto friendly?

    Unfortunately, it's not ):

    Will they bring back the 85 cent coffee on Mondays?

    Currently they are doing BOGO Coffee on Monday. Hope that helps!

    Is it possible to place a large order for a certain pastry in advance for pick-up? Example 20 milk buns? Thanks!

    Yes you can! I see people ordering a bunch of milk buns and picking up their box all the time!

    Where is the bakery in katy? Unless it is being built. I don't see it when I type into google maps

    I don't think they've announced construction/opening for one in katy. There's one on Katy Freeway and Blalock but not technically in Katy. There's a rumor about them opening in the new Chinatown area of katy but nothing official yet

    How about an 85 in katy?

    This store is in Bellaire I have not been to Katy location

    I see a sign up in Telfair. Are you guys opening up in Sugar Land too?!

    Hello Kristy, Yes, we will be opening one in Sugarland soon! There are still some construction…

I pulled over in the first parking lot I could find and opened Yelp to help me find something. I'm telling you all of this because I ended up walking into Le Drip and ordering the "Egg Coffee", knowing nothing about it. Now, I've been on this earth for a minute and I've drank a lot of coffee. This is among the best coffee drinks I've ever had. Certainly the best I've had in recent memory. What I'm saying is it's in the running for the best coffee drink I've ever had. The egg cream is thick and eggy, which I loved. The coffee itself is bold with a strong coffee taste. The cream is dusted with a heavy shake of cinnamon and it all melded together into a delicious concoction that I couldn't get enough of. If you're looking for a memorable coffee drink, I would recommend giving this spot a shot. Tell 'em Big D sent you.

    Finally got around to trying this cozy little coffee shop. Perhaps it wasn't for me, but I found…read morethe drinks at Le'Drip to be just okay. The famous Egg Coffee didn't stand out at all from all the praise it receives. I expected a rich, creamy coffee experience, but I couldn't find any coffee essence at all. Instead, the drink was overwhelmingly sweet from start to finish. I was also excited to try the new Lychee Jasmine Matcha since it sounded phenomenal, but it ended up being my least favorite. The lychee flavor completely overpowered matcha, making it hard to enjoy the drink. Overall, it was a good try but it wasn't cup of coffee.

    A spot dedicated to tiramisu treats (as well as mousse cakes, panna cotta, cookies, and croffles)…read moreand pretty drinks that is open all day? Count me in! The inside is mostly white and going for that IG "it spot" vibe. Most people were ordering their drinks that come with a little slice of tiramisu, but we were there to try just the latter! The tiramisu varieties aren't all truly tiramisu (which traditionally has espresso and alcohol), but they're called tiramisu because there are cookies or ladyfingers layered with their mascarpone cream. I tried the Biscoff Tiramisu-- while they could work on their presentation (the filling looked messy and slapped on), the taste was quite nice! Sweet, creamy, and the mascarpone filling was light and not too heavy despite being sweet and indulgent. I'm excited to try the other tiramisu varieties :D I like how the tiramisu comes in its own container instead of scooped into a takeout box because it's a lot less messy + prettier when eating it. Service was really friendly and there is self-serve water available too. Lots of tables for two but they were all taken during my visit. There's a little table outside in the shade if you're willing to sit in the heat. Overall, 4.5 stars for the tiramisu-- will be back to try some more! Check them out next time your sweet tooth calls :)

    One of my favorite little spots to grab a matcha! I love the insane variety of matchas they have on…read morethe menu because apparently having just one or two good options would be far too easy. And if I'm with my boyfriend, he always spoils me and allows me to get 2 (one for the next day, of course)! One of my favorites is the Biscoff Banana Pudding Matcha. It's basically a dessert and a pick-me-up in one, so obviously I'm going to support that kind of decision-making. It's creamy, sweet, and with the crunchy textures, it's just such a fun combination. The other thing I am OBSESSED with here is the croffles! Easily one of the best I've ever had. They're super fresh, buttery, and have the perfect texture. But honestly, the cream they put on top is what really gets me. It's not overly sweet or super heavy, which I appreciate because I would like to enjoy my dessert without downing a whole glass of water... or maybe... a matcha? lol My boyfriend and I like coming here every now and then and sharing a croffle (because apparently we are capable of sharing things), and we love the indoor and outdoor seating areas too. It's such a cute little spot to hang out, grab a drink, eat something sweet, and just chill. Now for the one downside: the parking. If you know, you know. The parking situation is... less than ideal, especially considering this is Bellaire. But honestly, if you're coming here to grab a drink, eat, play on the claw arcade, and get a dessert, I'd say it's worth surviving the parking chaos. Pro tip: CALL AHEAD AND ASK IF THEY STILL HAVE CROFFLES! I learned this lesson the hard way. One time, I brought a large group of friends here after dinner specifically so everyone could try the croffles... only for us to find out they had just run out. SAD! You can imagine my devastation after hyping them up. They actually felt really bad and told us that we could call ahead next time to check if they still had any available, which I thought was incredibly nice of them. So now I'm passing that wisdom along because I refuse to let anyone else experience the heartbreak of arriving croffle-less. Overall, such a cute spot with great matcha, delicious croffles, and a fun little atmosphere. Just prepare yourself mentally for the parking situation and CALL AHEAD FOR THE CROFFLES!!!

I went with 100% sugar (no regrets--just work out an extra hour afterward ). The balance of tart and sweet was spot on, and the quality really stands out compared to your average boba shop. Yes, the drinks aren't cheap, but they're worth every penny. You're paying for freshness and flavor, and it shows. The ambiance is clean, bright, and modern, and the service was solid. Drinks came out relatively quickly, even though it was busy. If you're tired of the same old average boba places, definitely give Macu Tea a try. Enjoy!

I've visited many times and have been impressed with the consistency of both the tea and boba. My go-tos are the Cassia Black Tea, Dong Ding Oolong Tea, and Green Tea, all with Cream and Bubble. I typically order their drinks with less lce and light sugar, which have been perfect for me. Their fruit teas are also delicious, although I would definitely recommend reducing the sugar level to allow the tea flavor to shine through. The size of their drinks is also perfect for me; large enough to enjoy but small enough to not be overwhelming. At this location you can order at the kiosk or at the cashier, which helps to expedite the line especially when it gets busy. You could consider studying here, especially with its notably large tables, however seating is limited and it can get loud during rush hour. I would highly recommend Chi Cha San Chen, especially if you've never tried a high-quality, tea-forward milk or fruit tea.

I'm happy to say that the quality did not disappoint! What I love about CHICHA San Chen is that each drink is freshly brewed to order. Rather than preparing large batches of tea ahead of time, the tea is brewed individually when you place your order using their signature tea-press technology. You can really taste the difference--the tea is fragrant, fresh, and flavorful. My absolute favorite is the King Bubble Black Tea with Cream. The combination of the rich black tea, creamy topping, and chewy king pearls is just SO good! I was also pleasantly surprised that the Houston location still offers the Taro Series. The taro drinks are another favorite of mine, and it's wonderful to see that Houston has kept this part of the menu. After visiting CHICHA San Chen in different places, I can honestly say that Houston holds up beautifully. The tea quality, fresh preparation, and overall experience are exactly what I have come to expect from the brand. CHICHA San Chen never fails to deliver! If you're a serious tea or boba lover, this is definitely worth a visit.

Out of the four drinks I purchased, two of them were filled with an…read morecompletely unreasonable amount of ice--approximately 60% ice in one cup and an astonishing 90% ice in the other. The employee's attitude and customer service were even more unacceptable. I purchased four drinks from this store at the same time. I specifically ordered all four drinks with less sugar and regular ice. However, out of the four drinks, two of them had an absurdly excessive amount of ice. One cup was approximately 60% ice, while the other was even worse, with approximately 90% of the cup filled with ice. I understand that I ordered regular ice, but does that really mean an employee can fill almost the entire cup with ice and leave only a tiny amount of actual drink? Regular ice and an excessive amount of ice are two completely different things. What made me even more angry was the employee's attitude. When I questioned the drink that was approximately 90% ice, the employee did not acknowledge the problem or attempt to resolve it. Instead, the employee argued with me and insisted that I was the one who was wrong. Even more absurdly, the employee told me that if I wanted the excessive amount of ice removed, I would have to pay extra! Are you serious? I ordered a drink with regular ice--not a drink that was 90% ice! Why should I have to pay an additional fee just to have an unreasonable amount of ice removed from a drink that I have already paid for? You are running a beverage shop, not an ice shop! I paid for four drinks, not four cups of ice. Even though I clearly requested regular ice, two out of the four drinks were filled with an unreasonable and ridiculous amount of ice. One cup being approximately 60% ice is already unacceptable, but having another cup that is approximately 90% ice is simply outrageous. The worst part of this experience was not just the excessive amount of ice. It was the fact that the employee refused to handle a reasonable customer complaint appropriately and instead chose to argue with me, making me feel as though I had somehow done something wrong. Customers should not have to argue with employees over something as basic as receiving a reasonable amount of actual beverage in a cup. If a beverage shop cannot even provide a reasonable proportion of the product that customers are paying for, then why should customers be expected to return? This experience was extremely disappointing. I was disappointed not only by the ridiculous amount of ice, but also by the employee's unwillingness to listen to a reasonable concern and the unacceptable attitude toward a paying customer. I came here to buy drinks, not to pay for cups of ice! I will seriously reconsider whether I ever want to visit this store again. Management should take this matter seriously and review both the way drinks are being prepared and the way employees are trained to handle customer concerns. Finally, I ended up returning the drink that was approximately 90% ice. What made the situation even more disturbing was that the employee did not throw the returned drink away. Instead, they put it back into the refrigerator/freezer to be sold to another customer later. That is completely unacceptable and raises serious concerns about how returned beverages are being handled and resold.
