85 degree cafe is like the standard for me when it comes to Taiwanese bakery. There are other standalone bakeries that have certain items that are better but 85 degrees has your staples and they're all reliable and taste pretty good. I like their milk buns, cocoa bun, egg tarts, and their drinks are pretty good as well. Their app is not the best but worth it if you go often enough to get points for free items. I think the staff at this location are friendlier than the others that I've been to in Houston, but their selection is not as good as the Bellaire location for sure. They sell out of popular items fairly often. And I went an hour before closing once because I happen to be in the area, there's almost no bakery items left by then. Good to know that it's selling out by the end of the day because that means it's fresh, but I wish they were better about restocking popular items at least midday. Overall, solid and reliable choice for Taiwanese bakery. read more

85°C is named for the thought that 85°C is the optimal temperature for brewing espresso. This Taiwanese chain is known for their delicious coffees, teas and pastries. Taro rolls. Marble Taro. Brioche. Egg tarts. Milk Buns. Mango Creme Brûlée. My favorite is the Coconut Twist. Sweet bread filled with coconut and raisins and topped with sliced almonds. Grab a cold or hot drink. Add sea salt foam. Their Sea Salt Jasmine Green Tea is so delicious and refreshing. The Thai Tea and Milk Teas are great, too. Sign up for their 85° rewards program for some discounts on their sweet treats. read more

Wow! So many goodies and drinks to be had. There is no seating (as most bakeries do not) but still worth mentioning. Protocol is enter, grab a tray, and fill up on pastries galore. There were prepared cakes and individual desserts on display for the taking. I bought a mango smoothie, caramel pod, a cookie, and a mango delight. The mango delight was not for me. But the mango smoothie, however, was totally delish! All in all, I spent $15.83 as a total for my purchases. They also sell savory pastries and tasties as well. The bakery was super clean, employees were super friendly, and packaging super cute. read more

They had a reopening event so my sister and I went and got a T-shirt, bag and a mug with purchase. Great service and pastries are fresh and delicious. Grabbed a bunch to take to the Zoo to munch on. My to go to drink over there is the grapefruit. read more

Stopped in for groceries at 99 ranch market, ended up leaving & down the road a few minutes and realized I left my water bottle in the cart. Drove back, saved my water bottle, and decided I deserved a treat, so ventured into 85deg Bakery. Inside, although a Saturday, it wasn't crowded so I could easily peruse the selection to decide what I wanted, with a mixture of sweet and savory selections in the clean, brightly lit store. I decided on a strawberry cream cake slice behind the glass. It's a light and airy cake and has a subtle strawberry flavor to the cake. Admittedly the cake was a little dry, so it was helpful they have the cream layers but it could benefit from maybe some jam in there to help with moisture and to enhance the strawberry flavor. The interesting and maybe my favorite part was the pudding like filling right in the middle. Not quite sure what it is but it reminds me of flan and I enjoy that texture. The cake didn't blow me away, but if you want an airy, subtle, not overly sweet cake this'll do read more

85°C Bakery Cafe-Blalock - Strawberry cream cake - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

We have visited the Blalock location since they're next to 99 Ranch. According to the app, 85'C is offering 15% off holiday cakes, so on Dec 5, I tried placing a couple of cake orders on for pickup in Pearland on Dec 24 but it kept saying sold out. For several days, I called the Pearland location listed in the app--no answer each time. We were confused because we planned to celebrate with friends who live just 10 minutes from that bakery and really preferred to pick up the cake there. We stopped by the Blalock location and wanted to order in person but picked up in Pearland. The cashier said she didn't know and the manager might know, but he was busy on the phone. After waiting about 15 minutes, the manager finally told us that they couldn't take an order for another location. I then showed both the manager and cashier the Pearland number in the app, and they said they don't know anything. Out of curiosity, I googled the Pearland 85°C and discovered that it doesn't open until January 2026. So the issue isn't the employees--it's poor communication on 85°C corporate's part. If a store isn't open yet, the app should clearly say so (eg Opening January 2026) to avoid wasting customers' time calling a non-existent location. Since Pearland isn't open yet, we ended up placing the order at Blalock. That experience was also surprisingly frustrating. I asked for the ube cream cake, but the cashier kept insisting they only offer holiday cakes.I pointed to the banner that clearly shows the ube cream cake as one of the holiday cakes, but she insisted I hadn't said "holiday ube cream cake." I'm not sure how much more specific I could have been--especially since I had already said the cake was for Christmas Eve pickup. After paying, the cashier handed me a yellow slip and told me to bring it for pickup. She also asked what message I wanted on the cake. I said "Happy Holidays," and she replied that Merry Christmas is already on the cake. I then asked why she woild ask what message I wanted. She said "Oh, well, we can add a little paper with 'Happy Holidays' instead." At that point, I just went with it--I was honestly done dealing with this particular staff member. I'm not sure if she was having a bad day or is new and still learning, but it was unnecessarily frustrating. Overall, the lack of accurate information about the Pearland store and the confusing ordering process made what should have been a simple holiday cake order far more complicated than necessary. read more

I probably visit this location the most compared to others because of its close proximity to 99 ranch, making it easy to walk over after I finish grocery shopping. Small store but has everything you'd expect. I decided to try a drink today and got the sea salt oolong tea. A bit too sweet for me even at 30% sugar. Would've preferred the oolong tea flavor to be more present. On a side note, ordering cakes here is always a seamless process! Highly recommend for parties! read more

I was headed to a different coffee shop but passed it up and while going back I remembered this location so I stopped here instead. I love that this location is small.

85 has been a staple for me ever since I've discovered their Sea Salt Coffee. But today, I decided on trying the Sea Salt Matcha Latte and it didn't disappoint. The sea salt foam mixed into the matcha just made it a super creamy drink, and the regular sweet isn't overly sweet, i'd just maybe go 50% next time. Great color, great matcha flavor and super creamy I'd give it a solid 8.5/10. read more

85°C Bakery Cafe-Blalock - milk bun Sea Salt Matcha Latte ICED LARGE Red Bean Bread - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

Located in the same plaza as 99 ranch market. I love coming here to pick up baked goods or a cake. It's best to come before the afternoon hit as a lot of their popular items will run out. My favorites are the choco bun, milk pudding bun, the red bean bread, and their egg tarts. You can also get the egg tarts in a box of six. There's a variety of sweets and savory items. The price point is pretty affordable. They do a great job of restocking until they run out for the day. I also love getting their cake for birthdays. Great size to share and my favorite is the red velvet and tiramisu. There's also a drink menu from coffee, milk tea, and green tea. This is a grab and go kind of place so you won't see any tables to sit at. read more

Great pastries and deserts! The Vietnamese iced coffee is mostly ice bc they use the small chewy cubes but it's tasty. Check out moves fast even when there is a crowd. Small shop but a nice setup read more

The service is okay, she needs to smile more often. The same one on the cashier every time I come and visit.

I'm not joking when I tell you this is the best bread I've had in years!!! The little lemon muffins are too addictive, they have the perfect consistency it's like biting a cloud. The garlic cheesy bread is mouthwatering. Now let's get serious... the tiramisu cake here has me on a chokehold. When I say I've been going here multiple times a week I almost feel guilty for eating so much bread. It's just that good. You've gotta try it out, trust me. Prices are good and there's good parking. The people here are always kind and check you out quickly. Another thing I love is that they don't flip the iPad and ask for a tip it's just a very relaxing enjoyable experience. As you can tell I couldn't wait to get home and ate some in my car immediately after buying. Only detail is that there's really nowhere to sit, you just grab and go. read more

Came here around 8:30 am and only about half the bakery items were out. Maybe came too early but that was really disappointing because my favorite item wasn't out wahhhh.

Similar to all 85 degrees, the bread selection here is always nice and there are a lot to choose from. I got a new danish brioche that they had which was good, but I think I still prefer the original brioche loaf. I came specifically to try the pumpkin spice drinks that they had, and the matcha one in particular. I thought that the drink was a little too sweet for me, and the matcha was not strong enough. I also tried the pumpkin spice latte as a coffee, which I enjoyed more, but also found to be a bit too sweet. Next time I will probably ask for 70% sugar! read more

Great drinks but their large doesn't have a large amount of drink or sinkers:( makes me a bit sad that it was 2/3 filled w ice... I should have gotten a milk tea from Ranch 99 next door for half the price and twice the milk teas. Only thing is 95 got more variety of options so I come here 1:3 the time. If they give more drink than the ice it may be 3/3... so o don't have to ask myself where is my drink and still be thirsty by the time get to Gessner a couple lights down from their store and I'm out of liquid and waiting for the ice to melt so I got water to sip on... 85 & 99 are both grab and go boba places. If they had more of a sit down and bathroom to use too when o need to make a pee-stop (excuse for boba most of the time) I'll stop by here more than Ranch 99 that actually have a bathroom & boba & bakery. Just gimme more of the milk tea and I'll be back more often :) I'll overlook the other short-coming of the store read more

My wife and I enjoy 85c and have been to this location many times for years. Recently we went to an 85c in Austin and we have discovered this Houston location is not as great. Compared to other locations, this Houston location really skimps out on the quality. For example, they really under-fill their coffee cruffin. The Austin location fill An appropriate amount of the coffee whipped cream so when you cut the cruffin in quarters, you get a nice amount from top to bottom inside the cruffin. When I cut the cruffin from this location, you get maybe 1/6th of the filling compared to Austin's. It looks pitiful. Their other offerings such as the Taro Buns are undefiled too compared to other locations. read more

THE BEST VIETNAMESE COFFEE!! I've had a lot of Vietnamese coffees and this is hands down the best. It's not too burnt or sweet, just perfect. I also love their grapefruit tea, it's so refreshing! I've also had the sea salt coffee and it was pretty mid. Their strawberry de leche tastes like strawberry milk and was good. Their ube latte was good as well. Their buns are ok but I like their egg tart because it's crispy. read more

Baked goods in Houston, Texas... When we drove into the parking lot of 99 Ranch I was so happy to see 85° Bakery right next door! I only know of this Bakery because of my friends in Los Angeles. I told Lisa that we should take a look! She had never heard of this Bakery before! We entered the nicely air conditioned shop with enticing displays of pastries and cakes! Inside of the refrigerated section was a really cute bear cake... Next to the delicious looking mango cake! If we ever need a cake or a celebration I will return here and get something yummy and beautiful! I remember that they had some pretty good coffee, too! read more

i love this place and come all the time. All the desserts are so delicious but my favorite is the hokkaido cream bun. i love that they always put the calories on the tags as well. The cakes are also very delicious. I just don't like how they are typically out of the hokkaido bun. They make a lot of the milk pudding ones but not this one. This place is first come first serve so if you come around 6/7 there's not much of a selection. The boba is very good here too. Service is very fast. read more

I placed an order by phone with Bee and her customer service was amazing!! She was kind, patient and even made recommendations on which one I should order. I never expect amazing service since I always know I'm picking up milk buns or egg tarts for home/parties! As for the drinks, sea salt series, milk tea with egg pudding and the lemon black tea!! read more

You know what it was when you signed up! They have specials usually on Monday. Always expect a line, long or short, mostly medium length. And if it's short, it will get longer. They run out of egg tarts fast! It's so easy to just try them all. My favorites are the hazel nut muffin, garlic bread, and sea salt coffee. Emphasis on sea salt coffee! I like to shake it and post it on my social media! I like to order some sweets to gift to other people or bring to parties. You really can't go wrong with the egg tarts!

That milk bun got me like....! And don't get me started on the egg custard tart. Those things are what dreams are made of.

If anyone were to ask me where my favorite pastries are, I would point them to this place. Very soft and doughy options with a decent selection of delicious flavors. The Marble Taro is probably my favorite. They have savory options too but I've only tried the sweet ones. Great variety overall! The drinks they offer are nothing to write home about, but the options are there. It's a to-go place, if I remember correctly there were no tables inside. The ambiance feels relatively standard. I personally like enjoying my pastries at a nearby park. It's worth mentioning that the service is fast and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend a visit here if you have a sweet tooth and you enjoy softer pastries with creamy fillings. This place has become one of my guilty pleasures...! read more

This has got to be my favorite bakery! We love getting the milk buns (especially when they're fresh), and the berry buns! The milk buns used to be my son's favorite, but he has since switched to the berry one. Who can blame him? Recently my husband tried this coffee cake one with chocolate chips on it. OMG. If you're a coffee lover you've gotta try this one!! The filling in it is SO good. I can't wait to go back! We also recently tried the milk tea bun I think it's called? Idk what it was that was in it that made me feel like I needed to eat it at Christmas time. Lol! If that makes sense... so uhhh I won't be eating that one again until Christmas, cause I really didn't care for it right now. Still my favorite place for milk buns though! read more

I've enjoyed the 85C location in Chinatown so I was very excited to take advantage of this location since it is close to my work. I came in specifically for a Sea Salt Iced Coffee based off the recommendation from a friend (you can also order it hot), and whew boy it did not disappoint! I don't know what is in this coffee, but it is so delicious I cannot help but think I am addicted now. The coffee is very smooth and sweet, so if you aren't a fan of sweet coffee you will want to pass on this option. But don't worry - they have a ton of other options for you! This shop is smaller than the one in Chinatown, but it offers all of the same goodies you come to expect from this chain. The staff here was very friendly as well! read more

This bakery location is more customer friendly than the one on Bellaire. The manager and cashiers accommodate my needs with soy milk in the coffee caramel smoothie (Bellaire refuses to replace milk with soy), and the drink is yummilicious! Every time I have frequented this cafe, the cashiers have welcomed me with a smile, and they ring out my orders with a friendly attitude as well. It makes the experience positive on each visit (except 1-3 times when they ran out of merchandise). I told them they need to make sure their baked goods and drinks are in plentiful amounts for their customers, and they told me they are not able to substitute anything from 99Ranch or HEB (close by). David, the Caucasian host (young sandy haired teen with glasses), has tried all the baked goods, so he is my 'Go to' guy for questions about taste, texture, filling, and sweetness or savory level. My fav drinks are the caramel coffee smoothie with soy milk and boba and the red grapefruit drink with aloe vera jelly. I've tried the cake slices there as well - light and airy, not too sweet, and soft and slightly moist (a lot better than cake slices in 99 Ranch market). My favs? Coffee crème brûlée and the mango crème brûlée. read more

I frequently place large orders at this location but have never had positive interactions with the staff. Despite this, I keep coming back because I enjoy their pastries. However, for my son's birthday party last week, I ordered a cake which was not available for pick up as the entire complex was unexpectedly closed due to a storm. Unfortunately, they did not have the courtesy to inform me about the closure or the unavailability of the cake. This led to the birthday party proceeding without a cake, and despite waiting for a call that never came, I had to visit over a week later to request a refund. My number was on the order form so they do not even have an excuse as to why they could not pick up the phone. The lack of communication and customer service is extremely disappointing. If I hadn't taken the initiative to ask for a refund, it seems they would have kept my money, which is ridiculous! I requested to speak with a manager, yet the staff simply advised me to return when the manager is available. Firstly, how am I supposed to know when that would be? Secondly, this is a waste of my time and is nonsense. They made no effort to resolve the issue. In any case, their service was extremely disappointing. read more
