This is my go-to bakery for Asian cakes and pastries as it's close to my office. Love that their products are usually light and not too sweet. I recently got the Coffee Crème Brûlée cake and it had a good amount of coffee flavor in it and the frosting was like air. Everyone loved it and it practically felt guilt free. Lol I also recently got the Ube Cream Cheesecake for my friend's birthday. It was also light and not too sweet, but the ube flavor was quite subtle. They sell plenty of individual sized savory and sweet pastries, baked fresh throughout the day. Some are on the shelves in room temperature and some are refrigerated. The staff are always nice, friendly and helpful. I also appreciate that they will write a birthday message on a flat piece of white chocolate to place on the cake upon request. read more

85°C Bakery Café is one of those spots that never disappoints when you're craving something sweet, warm, or freshly baked. Every time I walk in, the aroma alone feels like a welcome hug. The pastry cases are packed with a huge variety, from savory buns to delicate cakes, and everything looks like it was made just minutes ago. The layout is clean, organized, and easy to navigate, even when the place gets busy (which it usually does). Staff keeps the line moving efficiently, and you can tell they work hard to keep everything stocked and fresh. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality and portion sizes. My go‑tos are the sea salt coffee, the cheese bread, and pretty much any pastry that has a honey-forward glaze. Everything comes out soft, warm, and consistently delicious. It's the kind of bakery where you grab one thing... then end up adding three more to your tray because everything looks too good to pass up. Whether you're stopping in for a quick treat, grabbing a box to share, or just need a pick‑me‑up pastry, 85°C is a solid, reliable favorite. Miguel C. read more

Well it was not too busy when I went in. I didn't find what I was looking for but I found something and ordered a Thai tea. The young man who was helping me was Jose. I kept putting in my cc and the machine wouldn't take it. He decided to take on other customers and was busy working around me. He would say oh does your card have money on it? Try it again... try it again. I was getting frustrated. I stood in line like everyone else did and expected to be helped, but was brushed off with irritating comments. His coworker Mariah stopped what she was doing and helped me. I ended up paying with cash because the machine said it could not read my cc. I just really wanted to give a shout out to the employee, Mariah. I watched her as I waited. She was more than efficient and was making sure that everyone got what they needed. I get it sometimes it gets a bit busy... although it was not that busy at that moment... but I have to say Mariah looked at the fine details. If it wasn't for her I would have given a 1 star. She even made sure she came to the drink station. They put my drink to wrap the top they went on about their business and it sat there for a bit, but she saw it and put the drink on the counter. This girl needs to be promoted and needs a raise. She does above and beyond what she is supposed to do and needs to be acknowledged. She was kind, diligent and more than efficient. She even was putting the lid on things that the others left the lids off. Thank you Mariah, I really appreciated the help and you taking care of what I needed. :) I wish there were more of you in this world! :) read more

Their pastries are also in stock. The drinks are delicious and I always love that I can control the sweetness level. The price is affordable and my family loves anything from this place. I like that everything is individually packed! There is a lot of parking and Daiso is right next door. This area is convenient when doing errands because 99 ranch market is also in the same plaza. read more

A big 85 location! Lots of seating and parking available. While this location can get busy, I went at 5pm on a Monday and it was not busy at all. I ordered my drinks online and picked up some pastries when I came in. Vietnamese Coffee is amazing, I got it with the sea salt foam, if you don't like sea salt don't get it but if you do then it's good. The matcha strawberry latte didn't look appetizing upon first glaze but had a good taste, more strawberry than matcha tasting, on the sweeter side. I highly recommend getting the egg tarts, they are a personal favorite of mine. read more

If you love Chinese pastries, you can't go wrong with 85 degrees! This place will never disappoint if you're in the market for a fresh custard bun, or black sesame bun, or red bean bun-- the list goes on and on! The prices are not terrible, but sometimes the line is really long, so prepared to stay anywhere between 30 min to an hour. But just walking around the store gawking at every pastry is a good 20 minutes already. Enjoy! read more

Mooncake season is here. I like buying mooncakes here it's buy one get one 50% off. My favorites are Taro Mochi, Red Bean Yolk and Hokkaido Mochi. It even comes with a nice box, good for gift giving. I buy mooncakes twice a week that's how delicious it is. And the Daifuku it's mochi filled with mango cream that one looks simple but it's superb in taste. They always gets busy but overall the food and service is good. read more

This location has been here for as long as I can remember. I grew up eating their sweet and savory pastries. Tip: Make sure to join their rewards app for points, monthly coupons, and easy mobile ordering. Parking: There's a large yet busy plaza. Free parking lot. Ambiance/Environment: Just like any other location, it's very casual. I'm surprised it's actually clean. They have a large indoor space with a decent amount of seating. The pastries are located on the left, the registers are in the center, and the pickup counter is on the right. There's constant foot traffic coming in n out, so there might be a line. Service: There was a line when I entered. It was consistently busy, so it's understandable. I suggest having at least 1-2 workers on the register at all times. It took a while for a worker to take the next customer. I ordered three drinks, and throughput took 13 min. Drinks: I skipped out on the pastries during this trip. I ordered the Vietnamese Coffee, Jasmine iced tea, and Mango Green Tea. For whatever reason, 85°'s version of Vietnamese coffee is shaken dramatically that there's a lot of bubbles at the top. You're left with 25% bubbles and 75% coffee. Despite that, their coffee is actually strong. Their teas are fruity and refreshing. Highly recommend adjusting the sweetness levels. Pricing: The drinks and pastry prices are definitely affordable in this economy. Compared to other rising pastry shops, 85°'s prices are the cheapest. read more

Used the August BOGO sea salt coffee deal. It was easy to order using the kiosks at the door. Ambiance was soft yellow lighting with a few tables by the drink counter. Wait time was about 5 min. Their sea salt coffee is good especially once you mix the sea salt with the coffee. It still holds the slight bitterness of the coffee but is softened by the sweet/salty of the cream. read more

Our usual trips here great but today was the opposite. It was busy which is fine but I used the app to order drinks ahead while we waited in line to check out our bread and it was not great. We paid for our breads and my drink order said it'll be 25 minute wait at 11:50. We were waiting and saw so many more people come and get their orders and we didn't get ours. At 12:16 our order should've been done but we didn't get it until 12:35 and that was only because we had to go ask. They didn't know or paid attention to the online orders or idk what but it didn't seem they cared. No "hey we're sorry for the wait" or anything. They were having conversations while making the drinks which is fine but I think they were so focused on getting drinks out they didn't check for app orders. Why have an app for faster check out when it takes longer to get your drink order. Anyways I'm hoping it was just this time because of the service will be like this I don't want it. The breads are great and I tried the tuna which wasn't that great but I think many people enjoy it. I love tuna but it's wasn't the greater for me. Maybe it was because it had gotten cold while I was waiting. I think warming it up and getting cold after makes it taste not great. read more

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

This is one of the best bakeries I have been to by far! This was my first time coming to 85 degrees and it's 5 stars for me! The staff were friendly and helpful, it was clean and organized inside, and the music playing was a vibe! When you enter, you are welcomed with an amazing smell of sweet baked goods, and fresh coffee. You grab a tray and you are free to select whatever baked goods or desserts that you choose. (Cakes and cheesecakes have to be selected at the pay counter) They have both sweet and savory so you have a wide range selection to choose from. All the goods have a description of what they are so it's pretty easy to navigate. I selected the bacon and cheese bread, the choco bun, and the maple twist. They were are fresh, fluffy and delicious !. I'll definitely be returning to repurchase those items as well as try new ones. I highly recommend. read more

I absolutely love this bakery. Sunday morning and all breakfast spots were packed. Stopped in and selected some Pastries and tea. The spinach croissant is amazing and a must try. This is your typical cafe dining experience. A his place to chat over coffee and a pasty. Located in a strip plaza, so there is ample parking. read more

85°C Bakery Cafe-Gardena - Lemon cake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gardena, California

Yikes on the service, okay on the food. Pastries looked so pretty and well-displayed. I wanted all the cakes, but ended up letting my partner get whatever she wanted. Ended up getting two pastries, and two drinks. Pastries were overall good tasting. My hot drink was just warm, but it might be due to so-so service. Took about a half hour to get my drink, and what made it worse was they did not announce drinks are done, they just set it on the counter. What is bad about this is if they are behind, everyone is standing around touching all the drinks to see if it theirs. Quite gross to watch over a half of an hour and see several people touch all the drinks with their fingers and looking up close to their face to read the small label. Unfortunately, I assumed my drink would be set next to eachother, a hot drink and a iced drink, but that was not the case. So my hot drink was sitting for awhile and ended up being luke warm by the time I took a sip. Additionally, the bread pastries were unorganized with some not having a label or price tag. Made it confusing. I wouldn't come here for a date, and opt for a different location. read more

This is where you want to go if you aren't on keto, Atkins, paleo or any kind of diet. I order their whole size cakes for special events & parties. So much variety in the bakery area too. Customer service- always friendly & very quick w/ their orders. There is limited seating in the eating area. This isn't the place to chill/ not a quiet area. It's pretty much grab your coffee & carbs. Their taro lavender & tiger boba drinks are amazing. I have yet to try all of it. Yes, I'm a repeat customer because of their variety of sweets. read more

I come here about twice a week and enjoy their bread, so this was really disappointing. This was my first bad experience here, and it was entirely due to customer service. I had been having a good day, and honestly regretted coming here because it completely ruined my mood. The cashier acted like helping me was a hassle from the start. No greeting, no total after scanning, just silence after she has scanned the items while I had to look at the screen for the total. She asked if I wanted a bag. I said no because I try to avoid using paper or plastic bags if I can carry my items. She bagged everything anyway. When I reminded her I said no, she responded with "but you're taking the bag." I told her she already bagged it and charged me, so what was I supposed to do? She rolled her eyes, said "it's not a big deal," made a dismissive hand gesture, and asked if I wanted a refund with a smirk. It's not about the 10 cents, it's the attitude. When she gave me the 10 cents back, she treated it like a joke. As I was leaving, she said to her coworkers (loud enough for me to hear) that I "wanted 10 cents back because I didn't want a bag," and they were talking and laughing about it. Completely unnecessary and unprofessional. I thought about turning around to say something, but it honestly felt too immature to argue over. I didn't expect this kind of service from such a large chain, and it left a really bad impression. I regretted going there I'll probably be taking a break from coming here for a while. read more

Whenever I'm in Southern California my family asks be to stop by an 85 degrees to bring home a box of their delicious breads. So I was glad to fulfill my parental duties by stopping at the Gardena location. It's relatively close to the freeway and had lots of parking. It's in the same strip mall as a Daiso and a 99 Ranch so you can hit some of the other Asian Hall of Fame locations in one stop. I bought a variety of breads. One kid likes red beans and one prefers cream filled and it was easy to find options for both. I bought both the standard egg tarts and mochi ones. The pretty much tasted the same. We happily shared our haul with friends in Arizona. While I'd love them to open a location in Tucson, I don't think that'd be good for my waistline because my self control isn't strong enough read more

My friend took me to 85 Bakery and she had me at ube and taro pastries. We stopped by here after shopping at Daiso and 99 Ranch Market. Needed a coffee break. We got the mango creme brûlée cake. Not sure why it's called creme brûlée as it's more of a light and fluffy cake, not really anything creme brûlée about it. Also got the taro swirl, Vietnamese coffee and sea salt caramel foam iced coffee. The mango cake was really light which I loved. The taro swirl wasn't super sweet at all, my friend thought it wasn't sweet enough. Haha. I liked it just fine. The Vietnamese coffee was legit. You could taste how strong it was with the sweetness of the condensed milk. Best part was the crushed ice. Makes all the difference. Janey at the register was very nice and patient as she guided us through signing up for the 85 Bakery app. We scored the free sea salt caramel foam iced coffee. Win!!! The bakery is really clean, spacious and oh so organized. Makes me happy. Would come back! read more

After a night out, and an early start--caffeine is a must! Due to proximity, Terry K. recommended we drop into 85°C Bakery Cafe for a quick sip. I'm familiar with the chain so was more than open. We arrived in the morning and were one of the few customers, but overtime many more came and went. The layout of this 85° is similar to others with the giant pastry display on the left and the counter to pay and order drinks on the right. There are only a few tables inside. Service by all was efficient and nice and I appreciated them remaking my drink to meet my standards. We came for caffeine, my friend enjoyed a hot coffee while I was indecisive. I ultimately ended up with an Iced Oolong Milk Tea. I was pleased to learn their milk teas are made with non-dairy creamer as I do not drink dairy. My drink at first was extremely sweet to the point that I felt like I was going to get a toothache. Luckily, they remade my drink for 25% sweetness which was perfect. It was floral, not too sweet nor bitter, and creamy. I would get it again with these adjustments but it didn't wow me. I'm not familiar with the coffee or tea scene in Gardenia, but 85°C is a chain and a decent option for a pick me up. Located inside of the Gardena Gateway Center, there's free parking around. read more

I used to love 85 degree but this most recent time, I wasn't a huge fan. I got the potato croquettes, cheese dog, jalapeno cheese pastry, and the Hokkaido milk bun. The sweet treats are SO MUCH better than the savory ones. The savory ones were all mid but I loved the milk bun it was so delicious, and especially good, once refrigerated. My favorite thing is the price - super affordable. read more

10 years later....they've opened up everywhere and the quality has really gone down. The service used to be great and now average. I tried out the tuna sandwich today and couldn't get though one bite. The tuna tasted fishy and almost rancid. When a business delves into unknown territory like sandwiches, it's sometimes the foreshadowing of the end. Stick to drinks and cakes. I think they need to do a hard reset and go back to basics. I'm a bigger fan of Paris Baguette. Better quality and service. read more

One of my favorite things about the bakery is that I know there will always be a Japanese style cheesecake here! Not only was the cheesecake incredibly soft and fluffy, but it was just the right amount of rich and not overtly sweet. While the cheesecake is simple, it does not need anything on top or an additional flavor to really enjoy. In my quest to find the cheesecake, I ordered one of their seasonal drinks, the Berry Green Iced Tea. It had strawberry chunks inside and it was not too sweet or artificial tasting at all. I didn't customize it at all and I thoroughly enjoyed it as is. read more

Their beverage side of customer service here especially with their management is the worst. Horrendous, and very unaccommodating to customers like me. The management misled me when mentioned about giving me a voucher to get my free bread and drink to make up for my bad experience with them last time I was there. I told her the reason of NO app due to the inconvenient hassle (like why would you want to give more work for customers for) and the NO postal mailing address. Like who in their right mind would give out their mailing address to strangers especially to anyone for safety reasons. It's ridiculous they would ask for that. They can easily email me their voucher but they refuse to. With that, they have only intentions to BS customers like me. In their latest email to me, they said they understand my concern about the only way I can get the voucher is through my email, but they really don't understand and just BS to me that they understand me. This whole management of theirs is just the worst. They clearly don't know how to handle customers at all. I wouldn't be surprised when karma gets them. As karma always gets truly evil people like them. AMEN. I don't mind yelping again this place and its incompetent and appalling management to let people know how truly horrible the management and beverage staff are here. They enjoy ripping me off/scamming me and being snarky with their latest email to me. They are truly awful evil management here. If anyone can avoid this company, greatly do so. Their customers clearly don't mean anything to them. They've shown it through their no actions on making things better for me or for anyone for that matter. Every customer who buys from them is just another number of them making money on. They really don't care about us customers to be honest. That's why they have numerous complaints about their management from customers to their own staff of being inconsistent expectations to their customers, and understaffing to their staff to work even during their break time. Smh hugely. It would be better to give other companies like King Hawaiian with the best pastries and Mai Coffee Cafe in gardena for beverages and way better customer services who treat customers better than this hell hole that has a very fake nice management. read more
