Coming by when I am craving some fresh bread. A big selection of bread and cake. My usual go to is the brioche, boroh, and hot dog buns. They also serve coffee and tea. I would pair my bread with sea salt iced coffee. There is not much seating in the store as you weave through the bread line to the cashier line. Servers are quick to get everyone checked out. read more

This place is five stars all the way for us! Every time we go, we always order the milk pudding -- it's literally our favorite thing ever -- and yes, we usually end up with like 10 of them because they're just that delicious and addictive! The line moves super fast, even when it looks long, which we really love because we don't have to wait forever for our sweet treats. And if you're into saving a little extra, definitely check out the 85°C rewards program -- you can earn points on purchases, redeem them for free bread, cake, or drinks, and even score seasonal perks (like treats and app‑exclusive offers) by scanning your app when you buy. It makes grabbing all your favorites even more fun! Parking's a little thing to note -- you'll need to park in the Irvine Spectrum Center parking structure and then walk around a bit to get to the bakery, but that's honestly no big deal because the whole area is beautiful and fun to stroll through while you decide what you want next. If you love sweet treats with great speed and style, and a place that feels like a little dessert adventure every time, this is definitely one of our go‑tos! read more

I loved my guava croissants sprinkled with sugar. 85C Bakery has sweet & savory breads! You can get something for breakfast, some egg tarts for protein after a workout, a cake for Mother's Day (mango, Black Forest, tiramisu, cheesecakes and more). They even have different sizes like round or rectangular! They offer birthday decor and a beautiful box to go. If you need a boba: they have teas, matcha, and even Vietnamese coffees! The workers are diligent decorating cakes, bussing out more pastries, taking orders, and making drinks. Really impressive. I love it here. Definitely coming back :) read more

Came by this location during my visit to the Irvine Spectrum today.

I went in looking for cheese rolls but there weren't any. Such a shame. read more

I normally LOVE this place but recently I purchased 5 cream filled pastry's and was disappointed that only one was filled, the rest had a minimal amount of cream :( so sad I wasted $ on non filled pastries. Everything always tastes good and are normally super filled. Hoping this was a one off. read more

Decent selection of bakery goods, got the cheese hot dog and egg tarts as well as the two new Strawberry drinks. The cheese dog was okay, it's a bit on the saltier end, and the egg tarts were crumbly. The strawberry de leche drink was a bit too sweet and the sea salt cream strawberry green tea was decent. The drinks took a bit to be prepared, and we had to wait a bit to be served with the menu tv screen still turned off and had to be turned back on. They also didn't have the new bunny pin promo that was supposed to available with the purchase of 2 strawberry drinks so we ended up getting the bear pin. A bit sad that the food and drinks weren't the greatest. There's also no seating area inside the store, there's just enough space for a line, but there are some outdoor shared seating for the plaza. There are also two kiosks are the left side that are exclusive for ordering drinks only. read more

Fresh. Tasty. Affordable. Pastries and Coffee. Cakes too. The goods here always hit the spot. There's so many options. I like to get the berry bun, milk bun, brioche bread, mochi egg tart. They've got new ish stuff too like coffee cruffin and $5 sandwiches they can't heat up for you. Grab a tray and tongs and get to stepping of picking out your yummy items. For drinks, I recommend hot rose milk tea, iced jasmine tea, and ice sea salt caramel coffee. Service is quick and can order at drink kiosk too.

I grew up with 85°C Bakery, and it's still a household staple for us some weeks. It's one of those reliable spots that never fully leaves your rotation. My go-to buns are always the hot dog bun (even though it's definitely shrunk in size over the years) and the spicy sausage bun, which still delivers on flavor and has a nice kick. The pork sung bun is another favorite, the bun is slightly sweet and fluffy, and the savory pork floss on top balances it out perfectly. One small downside is the store layout, which makes it a bit difficult to browse and decide on items without already being in line. That said, the line usually moves quickly, so it's not a huge issue. Overall, still a comforting and dependable bakery that I'll continue coming back to for my favorites. read more

I have often come to this location to get my fresh bread and buns and this location doesn't disappoint. Located at Diamond Jamboree plaza with plenty of parking in the front of this store. Since this is a popular plaza there may be issues finding parking but just be patient as there is a lot to see. At this visit, I got their sea salt caramel coffee drink and it was delicious. There was a separate kiosk to order drinks and it is the smart way to bypass all the customers that are purchasing fresh pastries. Past visit experience were also good. You definitely have to come early during the day to get the best selection and variety of fresh pastries. Otherwise, fi you come during the afternoon there will be less options to choose from. Friendly staff and still quite busy througout the day. I have notices that some of their pastries have gone up in price so thats a bummer. read more

85 Degrees is a Taiwanese bakery chain that has locations across the US in the Pacific Northwest, Nevada, Texas, Illinois, and New York. I love Taiwanese desserts and baked goods, so whenever I see a 85 Degrees, I always make it a point to take a look inside. This particular location in Irvine is on the smaller side, with no seating areas available aside from several chairs lined up along the wall/walkway leading to the bathroom hallway. Despite this, they manage to carry all of the usual breads, baked goods, and desserts in an organized manner. I ordered the Pork Song Bun and the Half Moon breads to-go. The flavors were great and same as always. Their quality control across all of their stores are amazing! Overall, I love 85 Degrees and this location provided the same great quality I have grown to love. The only thing I would want would be an interior seating area in this store, but 7 Leaves in the same complex offers a place to sit and work if you need it. :) read more

Went in to pick up my usual marble taro bun, saw that they had new cream buns (at least they are new to me!) The Hokkaido cream bun is so airy, the flavor is super mild but, the texture is everything. Same goes for the mango cream, it has these little round mango cookie bits on the outside, the cream is a bit more substantial than the Hokkaido but it's still super light and airy. Make sure to check these new items out! read more

I wrote my last review here fifteen years ago and it seems funny to look back at it. Back then, this location at Diamond Jamboree in Irvine was the first and only location in the United States. People were so hyped up about it, that they were driving from all over LA and OC to wait an hour for their fresh-baked breads. Flash forward to present times: they still offer the same breads; however, the fanfare has died out as they've now expanded all over California. Prices aren't the same as they were; however, I still can't resist their mochi egg tarts, which has contrasting chewy, crispy, and custardy textures with a caramelized sweetness. I also like to get their hot dog breads for a light breakfast and their milk teas and sea-salt coffees for a convenient late-night pick-me-up, when I need one. I'm glad that I no longer have to drive to Irvine to get these things; however, I can't help but remember the times when people waited in line for an hour to get their breads! read more

The choices were too much for a 1st timer, ended up selecting a weird bun, Hawaiian chicken bun. It was quite tasty although I couldn't separate the tastes...pineapple, chicken, tomato sauce and cheese. It would have been amazing if it was warmed. read more

I hadn't been to 85 degrees for a while but after watching the Santa Clause movies, my husband and I were craving hot chocolate and a quick Yelp search showed that this was one of the few places nearby that offered it. But, this wasn't just your average hot cocoa. They have a seasonal Ghirardelli hot chocolate with sea salt cream going on that was absolutely scrummy. I already love sea salt cream but adding it to hot cocoa is such a genius move. It totally balances the sweetness (and heat) of the chocolate. It was a busy night but the the staff moved quickly to get through the line. This location is small so there's no place to sit indoors but there is plenty of outdoor seating in Diamond Jamboree. read more

Stopped by for some sweet treats and was really excited to try two pastries with creamy filling - the Hokkaido milk cream bun and a custard-filled pastry. The picture in front of the pastries looked so good, so I was definitely looking forward to them. Ater taking a bite, I was super disappointed with how little filling there actually was. The photos I took are literally from one bite (i didn't scoop anything out). The pastries still tasted good, just not at all what I expected based on the pictures. I wouldn't come back for anything with filling, but the pastries without filling are probably still good. read more

This place is good no doubt. It's still corporate baking. Service is good. I still feel like this chain is like the Asian Panera Bread. I will stop here and at other locations to purchase buns and other items. Still more of a fan of single location Bakeries like Cream Pan. read more

Came across this place while grabbing some Somi Somi so I decided to try it out. Let me start by saying the prices are FANTASTIC, value for money here is off the charts. The ambiance is pretty cool, fun to just browse around checking out all the unique stuff they have inside. The worker at the register was also very friendly, and patient with my kids being overloaded with choices. The grub, first off they have an espresso machine..... Had to try that out, went with the brown sugar oat latte and it was fun! I liked it, my wife hated it, but she can be a hater. It was good. Now the cakes, they aren't super special taste wise, really close to what you can grab at like a Safeway supermarket or something, but they are pretty tasty. Again, but they are SUPER cheap, that keeps this place solely in the 4/5 stars zone for me. They did have a whole plethora of other pastries but I can't try everything at once! Maybe next time I'm around one I'll try some new stuff. Overall, solid little spot to grab some treats. read more

My Friday morning treat at 85 Bakery! The Irvine location is normally having good foot traffic EXCEPT if you get here before 7:30AM . On Fridays, once it hits 8 AM rolls around, crowds begin to form, purchasing larger orders, often as a treat for their officemates before the weekend. There were several times I got caught behind these generous patrons and wished I was part of their team. For the early morning, hours the bread are fully stocked. I see Chinese New Year décor are added to the outdoor share common area. The cashier is always friendly and quick to move the folks along. During weekdays, I tend to get sweet teas more than coffees. I skipped the bakeries today and placed my order. For those customers, in like me, buying on drinks. I would beeline straight to one of the two kiosks. Unless you're like me and enjoy interactions with people. My only compliant ...as I'm trying to manage my sugar. I've asked for ¼ sweet but 3 hours later cannot finish the drink because the drink was too, too sweet! I'm so disappointed. read more

This location is in Diamond Jamboree and is usually packed. By 8pm they've typically run out of items which is unfortunate if you're getting off work late or wanting a dessert after dinner. But I stopped by today on Friday around 11:30am and they were fully stocked. However just because of my usual experience here having to deal with low inventory and long lines, as well as nowhere to sit, I am taking a star away. This location is smaller compared to others I've been to. Also there is nowhere inside to sit!! So keep that in mind. Also music inside is a bit loud and mostly EDM which is kinda weird for a bakery. But otherwise the dessert and baked goods here are standard as they are at every other location, so this review is mostly about the ambiance, service, and ease of shopping. read more

I've been buying stuff from this bakery for over 10 years. It wasn't always good, but I'm okay with things being 'average'. The offerings here have been average at this bakery since the pandemic (2019-2020), not to mention the prices of ALL of their items significantly increased but the portions DID NOT. However, I think this bakery has demonstrated that "shrinkflation" truly exist; just look at the photos of my match choco bun!! Service: good! Ambience: good! Food: do better, please! The photo speaks for itself. What happened to the filling inside this 'match choco bun'? Hence, the 2 stars. read more

85°C Bakery Cafe is a Taiwanese bakery and cafe company that launched their first U.S. flagship store in November 2008 in Irvine . I have been coming to this store since it's opening . Now they're opening so many locations in California. Everything from I bought tastes superb. And it was hard to decide so I always bought a few things every time I stop by. The cheese dog and the marble Taro bun are delicious. The mini cheesecakes and a traditional Taiwanese style Pork Sung bun is made with soft bread, mayonnaise spread, then topped with dried pulled pork. are worth a try. Due to inflation, they had to cut down on food rations and the prices of everything went up a little bit, making the cake poorer quality and more expensive than before. But still good to compare with other bakery! . read more

Service has improved a lot and love the variety of pastries they have. Just wish the Ube bread was available earlier in the morning.

I had a great experience at 85°C Bakery Cafe! Their taro bread is absolutely delicious--soft, fresh, and packed with that perfect sweet taro flavor. Every bite was on point. The whole place smells amazing when you walk in, and everything looks so good it's hard to choose just one thing. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to! read more

So as a creature of habit, 85°C Bakery often pains me because they always do away with my favorite breads: guava bread, mushroom bread (changed it then did away with it), honey bread, cranberry roll, cinnamon twist....I could go on and on! Luckily they still have the ham & cheese bread (my kids' favorite) and the Taro bread (my favorite). However, so many of my favorites have been done away with or are always unavailable (I'm that annoying person who stands outside the door to the back where they're baking the bread and asks the employees like I'll say "Do you have your 'xyz bread' today or when will you get it back?" and they always say they don't have it no matter what the time of day!) that 85°C has lost some of its' charm for me...Also their egg tarts bother me because (while they are delicious!), they are only filled about 1/2 way which is annoying they aren't filled fully like other bakeries do. I will come here like 10 times and only 1 time are they actually filled properly to the top. I wish 85°C would bring back more variety of menu items instead of just having the same items on display in multiple locations in the store. read more

We boycotted all 85C's for over 10 years based on previous treatment and their deletion of my FB inquiry post rather than apologizing. Last year we decided to move on from the past and give them another chance so we signed up for their loyalty program. They run specials once a month. The promos are mostly restrictive and good for a cold drink on a hot day if we're in the area. Otherwise we'd rather pay more to go somewhere else. September's promo is for ONE medium fruit tea 50% off. Toppings are extra and not discounted. The insult to injury is that this is a syrup flavored drink with zero tea flavor despite it being green tea based. As for their breads, they are highly processed and lowered priced for a reason. We bought their signature large taro bread last month and both ended up with severe diarrhea. We will probably not buy their breads anymore. read more

Good ol' 85°C! It's the Taiwanese bakery of my dreams, and I've been dreaming about it since I moved away from Irvine. I used to visit 85°C frequently for cinnamon milk toast, and I just can't find anything comparable at other places. The milk toast here is the best. They didn't have milk toast when I visited, though! I'm only in Irvine once in a blue moon, so I was thoroughly disappointed, but only for a minute. This bakery has so many other goodies, including slices of cake and pudding cups, both of which my sweets-loving son and I ordered. This place is very popular, which you can tell by the long queue that wraps around the inside of the store. Fortunately, we visited at the end of the day and there weren't that many people, so we were able to get our desserts quickly. read more

A colleague gave me this for a Christmas gift... CINNAMON WALNUT ROLL: -- it has 4 rolls in a round roll cake -- soft texture and medium sweet -- frosting distribution is poor as it is drizzled on sparingly versus spread on with an ample amount -- yummy walnuts -- sticky with walnuts at base adheres to the bottom cardboard insert which means you have to use a butter knife to separate it, which is a mild annoyance -- very nice tasting -- pretty cinnamon forward RATING = A- read more

Honestly this is probably the most disgusting 85 degrees. My coffee came out warm & then they decided it was a sanitary thing to just throw it into a cup where they froth the milk to reheat it. Look at how much foam there is and I watched them do it. In addition to they out the same lids on. Which isnt a big deal but cant imagine what theyre doing to make their bread if the simple coffee makers cant follow health regulations. Oh and your workers need to learn to enjoy their work and help the new guy instead of looking like you hate your life. Dont work somewhere you hate your face shows.

The space is clean and convenient, but I was surprised by the limited variety. The same breads were displayed on multiple trays, which made it feel repetitive. It seemed like they were trying to make it look full, but there were not many different options to choose from. It was especially disappointing not to see my favorite, Taiwanese Scallion Bread. I often find it In Summery Bakery. If you're in the area and want something quick, it's fine. But if you're looking for a wide selection or something new to try, it might fall short. read more
