In my opinion, this 85 Degrees C Bakery in Newark, CA is still one of the better bakeries around here and much better than South Bay Area locations. I remembered visiting on their very first grand opening a long time ago before the chain expanded to other locations. Good cashier service and pastries are always fully stocked here. Area is clean and modern. Cakes are all good looking at decent prices. I can't say the same about other locations though. This one is spacious with tables and chairs inside. Wide varieties of options to choose from. I stopped by for my regular iced cold Tiger boba latte medium size cup for $4.90. Note: my cup looked very small compared to what I'm used to getting. Did the medium sized cups shrink? The lady probably used the wrong cup size, but I'm having a good morning, so not sweating about it. However, I can easily buy beautiful and delicious slices of cakes for around or under $5 each. No lines and no crowds after 10am on a Thursday morning. Staff was helpful at front counter. The place is still much better than other retail spaces. It's a good feeling inside. I'm glad I was able to make another quick stop here. This 85 Degrees C Bakery is definitely the better place. read more

I came here while I was in Newark. At the time, the store had screen kiosks you can use to order drinks. Matcha latte iced no sugar no ice: This had too much milk, the matcha flavor was not strong enough. Lychee green milk tea large iced no sugar no ice: I like the lychee bits in the bottom but they're more shredded than I expected, which felt a bit odd texture-wise. I did feel the milk ratio was still a little too high on this drink too. Overall, drinks were okay, I would say one of the things 85C has going for it is the drinks are still relatively expensive for the size, compared to other boba shops. If you walk a little further down in the shopping complex, there are outdoor benches to sit on; the 85C itself didn't have any outdoor seating at the time. read more

I had to drive to Newark to get two strawberry drinks so I can collect their limited edition magnets since the Fremont location ran out of all strawberry drinks. They even had more fresh pastries and options available than in Fremont. The kiosk was easy to order and you can scan the your rewards from the 85C app to collect more points. It took about 15 minutes to wait for my order. I got the Strawberry sea salt tea and strawberry matcha latte with oat milk alternative (no extra charge). The matcha wasn't strong but the sea salt one had more tea flavor which I liked since it's less sweet. The barista was kind to show me all the limited edition magnets to pick from. They're all so cute, but I had to choose one per two drinks. Definitely worth coming back to this original location even though it's a bit of a drive. read more

Didn't like this location to be honest compared to the one in Fremont. The only reason i go is because my wife loves their Mango cheesecake. Usually i got to Fremont but was closer to this location so i went here. My son also wanted to try a blueberry cheesecake that they have. Placed a pick up order through Doordash as i usually do because i like to just grab & leave. App tells me my order is ready, okay cool i head over there. When i get there, they inform me that they ran out of the blueberry cheesecake....Now, i am a quite often frequent user of the app for pickups, & Everytime something is unavailable, they inform me beforehand. Not the case here, i'm unsure why, but the young man who helped me out was apologetic which is why im not giving them only one star. However, when i had the option to choose another pastry, they didn't have very many options so after a couple of minutes, i went with a chocolate mousse cake for my son. Unfortunately, he did not like it at all so i should've just asked for my money back. read more

I ordered the Mango Cream brûlée today and it was not as good as we expected. The cake layer was super dry which was the most disappointing part. My friend told me that the mango flavor had a chemical taste:(. I also ordered a pork floss sponge cake which had a soft cake layer, but it was a little bit sweet for me. read more

I really like this bakery, I had ordered my daughter's birthday red velvet cake from here and the price was good, presentation was beautiful and the texture and sweetness was perfect. Inside is modern and clean and all the baked goods look delicious! Ordered bottled Thai tea and the flavor and creaminess was on point! Cashier gave great friendly service. Need to come back soon! read more

The service had been consistent and good. I came to this location for many years. Recently, I surprised that my order came out to be unsatisfactory. The bread selection was not as good as before. I did try a new bread which was the double roll. I wouldn't buy it again. Then I ordered a hot milk tea, which was horrible. The drink wasn't filled all the way. It was like 3/4 full and it came out very sweet even though I asked for half the sugar. read more

I love this bakery. There are lot of things to try. Their mango pudding is my favourite!! They have clean and crisp ambiance and modest service. We ordered Red velvet cake for my daughter's birthday.

I stopped here on our way to a party. And let me just say their menu is hard to resist everything I've tried from their menu was amazing. I love me some egg Portuguese tartar. The drinks are OK, but might go to us. Definitely the Tartar the service is always great. I've never had an issue with them. read more

When they first opened, the bread was awesome. Sometime around mid 2025, it all went downhill. The quality went down and the lines disappeared. I now avoid this place like the plague. Why? The taro bun's bread now tastes like Ranch 99 bread. It doesn't have the same rich aroma and tastes like ordinary flour with no buttery taste. It sorta looks the same but it's somewhat bland now. I also tried my favorite brioche bread. Somehow the top sweet crust is now more distinct when it blended in well into the bread before. The bread itself is not as buttery and a bit 'off'. Even with a recipe. you can make a vastly different product. Perhaps less care in the measurements, or perhaps they reduced cost and cut corners. Where is the chef!? Maybe when they initially opened, they brought in their corporate chef trainers and over time, the trainees lost their way. Chefs leave and the trained chefs trains the new trainees. Telephone effect where each generation looses more of the secret mojo. Edit: With the comment from the business manager, I hope this place gets back to how it used to be. Ambience: The place has seating like a cafe but the glare from the parking lot is a bit unwelcoming. It feels cold and could use some decoration to make it feel warm and inviting. read more

I recently visited 85 Degrees Celsius Dessert Shop and tried a few savory items and pastries. I didn't order much--just picked up a few things to sample. The overall taste was decent, not amazing, but not bad either. Personally, I preferred the savory options over the sweet ones. One of the savory items really stood out to me--it was my favorite from the batch. The pastries were okay, but nothing particularly memorable. That said, I feel like I haven't explored enough of their menu yet. I'll probably need to go back and try a few more items to get a better sense of what they really have to offer. If you enjoy savory baked goods, it might be worth a visit! read more

My usual is the sea salt coffee and turns out they dilute it with water. Besides that, everything is decent and will continue to come here for the coffee since it's one of the cheapest coffee place. read more

I feel bad because they are pretty busy, but no one has been making drinks for the last 30 minutes. Still waiting on our drink order and I have no idea how long we will be waiting for them to start again (drinks can be made but they're understaffed and prioritizing bakery items). Generally love this location. Cup was split and leaked in the car, so it added insult to injury. read more

85 degrees always has a fun inviting modern vibe, with a variety of baked snacks from sweet to savory, meat to meatless. The milk tea here is solid and consistent, with a price under $5 which keeps me coming. They make their milk tea with "a non dairy creamer" for my lactose intolerant friends-- but staff were unable to explain what the creamer was actually made of, FYI. I appreciate that I can order my drink with "no sugar" as a healthier alternative, and my drink is always ready faster than it takes to lap the baked goods section. As for parking, I can usually get a spot in the lot, but keep in mind this location is right next to a super crowded all-you-can-eat buffet, with people pouring off the walkway, waiting for their table. read more

Very quick and easy to get your baked goods and drink. The location has plenty of parking. However, I do not recommend this place for studying because there's no outlets available. Here, I purchased those almond brioche bread, regular brioche bread, and matcha strawberry latte. Unfortunately, I did not like my drink. It was a regular size. read more

Very bad attitude shown by the lady making the hot drinks today. Feb 19th around 6 PM. We ordered our drinks and had picked no whip on them. The lady making them proceeded to add whip, and since we noticed we told her to skip the whip on the second drink. We were okay with her adding it in the first one by mistake but said that to ensure she didn't add to the second drink also. She did not acknowledge but the next instant dumped the drink out and proceeded to make another one and then with the most sullen expression on her face, came and placed the drinks for us to take them. Very passive aggressive attitude. Extremely customer unfriendly. We are paying for our drinks and not getting them for free so it would be great if you act with some respect towards your customers. read more

Decadent and delicious cakes! We've ordered from here on food delivery apps but this was our first time visiting the location. The bakery has a nice vibe and a good amount of sit-down space. The staff were really friendly, and offered suggestions when asked for recommendations. We got the Opera Cake and Lemon Cake slices. The Opera cake ticks all the boxes of a good chocolate cake; LOVE IT!!! The Lemon cake was a surprising win too! It's got thin layers of vanilla cake with a light lemon flavor and cream. It does not taste like artificial lemon flavoring (you know that chemical lemon dishwashing liquid kinda smell and flavor!). I'll be back to try their coffees and other cake flavors. There's parking available, but you'll have to park a little further away and walk. There's an event space and the famous Newark Buffet located very close by, so the parking lot gets filled up. read more

Quality/Quantity - Bought our usual daughter's egg tart for her. Atmosphere - One of the bigger 85 degree bakeries I have been to. Large mall parking lot, but this mall is so busy. I'm not sure if this is all the time or just today, on a Saturday. Open 7 days a week from 8am to 8pm; see Yelp or website. Service - Good, self service, then bring your pastries to the counter to pay. Price - $5ish. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 2004 and 2008 in the U.S. This is a Taiwanese company that has approximately 60 locations in the U.S. and over 1000 locations worldwide. read more

Went for the first time to buy a birthday cake after visiting the local PB bakery and not finding what my friend wanted. I purchased the mango Brule cake and we were not disappointed. The cake was as delicious as was elegant looking. The average price of cakes was about $12 cheaper than the other bakery, so I was even happier. The counter person was very nice and included a happy birthday chocolate to place on the cake. I didn't have a chance to try their coffee or look at the pastries. Next time when I have more time. I noticed it was unusually cold in there, so I hope they up the thermostat so my first dine in visit will be pleasant. I joined the rewards club because I know I will be back. read more

Good buns. Good on the wallet. Honey like 85 coffee for $4.50. I get the coco buns. Also good mango green tea boba. Litchi jelly always a win. read more

It's been quite a while since my last review of this 85 Degree location, but it's also located further away from us and also it was shut down for some time. This time we were driving up to the city and figured we'd stop by for some treats before our show. I was surprised that it was finally open again so we stopped by to get a drink and some pastries. The parking situation here is still a mess and it's still rough to find one as it's next door to the Newark Buffet which is super popular. They have large parking lots, just expect to park further away and walk. It wasn't super busy inside. I don't think any location ever yells "Fresh Bread" anymore. But perhaps that's due to COVID. Everything was nice and shiny and clean here which was quite a departure from a long time ago as well as other locations. Every shelf was stocked which is great. We got a sea salt caramel coffee. We didn't have high expectations as it's been a while where we've been at an 85 degrees and the drinks felt made right. But to our surprise, there was someone new, learning how to make the drinks and our drink was surprisingly not bad. Good job new guy! We also tried their new bread here which was the ube bread. I'm a little biased in terms of ube breads. I did appreciate the cookie layer on top, but the filling felt a little too small for the size of the bread. Also the filling flavor was a bit lost in the whole pastry. But if you like not super sweet ube filling, then this is it! I probably won't get this again but it's nice to see that shops are now showing that ube and taro are different. Overall, I feel like their hiatus has given them a nice break to make things better. This is one of the original 85 degrees in the bay area and I'm glad it's up and running again. Will stop by in the future if we're ever in the area! read more

easy parking, super spacious inside, and very friendly staff. Can't speak to their drinks since I only got pastries - they were delicious!

This is my childhood bakery!! My family loves to come in here to order a coffee, enjoy some pastries, especially in the summertime. The staff are always super friendly, and the shop has a nice open atmosphere!! The mango creme brulee cake tastes just like mango pudding- sooo good!! Red velvet cake was also fluffy and light. It was the perfect amount of sweetness for my parents. Their go-to here is the salted creme coffee. I decided to try to Matcha Creme Brulee (new menu item) and the matcha was a little powdery for my liking. read more

I went in here like at 0800 ish in the morning to buy a cake at the time it was pretty empty but there were still people there i was surprised. I bought the Ube flavor cake and omg it was delicious ube cake was a new thing to me so i didn't know how i was going to feel but overall great experience. I enjoyed the fruits ontop of the cake which make a great addition to the ube flavor. I was having a rough morning and they made it better. They offer plates and the cake cutter and a little chocolate bday sign and candle complimentary totally awesome. I really appreciate everything they do. read more

Barista is nice so I appreciated that, but the sea salt iced coffee is as salty as seawater. Unfortunately I had to throw the drink.

It's funny that 85 is all the rage in the States (or at least in CA) when it's not super popular in Taiwan, where it's from. But I digress. The baked goods here are fairly standard, but I like to come here for the cakes and occasionally drinks. The boba here is cheaper than most other boba spots these days, and they do a nice combination of tea and milk. I often pick up goodies here for friends' birthdays, as they sell cake slices and dessert cups at reasonable prices, and there's something for everybody. It also never gets super crowded here, which is nice if you actually want to sit down and enjoy your dessert. I usually do to-go so I can't speak much for the ambiance, but I can recommend the food! read more

Horrible customer service! Do not go! Came in to buy 2 strawberry drinks for the special pin promotion. RJ the supervisor said they ran out of strawberry drinks today and tomorrow. I really wanted the pin and asked if I could buy 2 other drinks. He said no. Really bad customer service and business model. Wasted time and gas to come. Will not be coming here anymore. read more

I love coming here to see all the bakery items! So far I have tried 7 different pastries/ breads, all of which were delicious, sweet and fluffy bread. I want to try different ones too, but then I still love the cheese bread, mango bun, coconut one, lemon broiche etc., its hard not to get those too! My favorite is the cheese bread, it sounds simple but the cream cheese inside paired with soft bread is to die for, I could so many of these. I think the only one I felt was "OK" and likely wouldn't get again was the ham and cheese. They had plenty of stock of everything for coming by at 4:30 PM, I was pleasantly surprised they were still restocking and not winding down. The store itself felt very open, clean, plenty of seats and the staff was friendly. I will definitely be coming back whenever I need a sweet treat! :) read more

Anytime I'm here on this side of the bay area, I enjoy visiting this place as a treat. The variety of breads and pastries is beyond any others that I've seen at other bakeries. I also appreciate that they have drinks, both cold and warm, to be paired with any food that you may purchase. The cashier is friendly and has a sweet voice and is also very knowledgeable of the menus and all the specials. I love places that are filled with natural light as well as a dim amount of light for its viewing pleasure and for a soft place for light. You will find everyone here from all walks of life and it's nice and clean. Be sure to stop by here for a hot drink, a snack pastry, or if you are on your way to a large family gathering. read more

My older brother and sis-in-law loves 85° Bakery Cafe period. We drove there only 3.8 miles where we were dining for lunch. I just opted for a hot Taro Lavender Salt Latte. It rates a 5 star to me. I didn't try any dessert but I get buy a moon cake with 1 yolk. It was good but quite pricy for $4.05 each and it was pretty small. Service was very good and the staff weee very friendly. Ambiance was casual and there's a few seats inside and very well kept in the dining area. Ample parking in their parking lot. Not a very busy mall. Mostly restaurants and a small market a few idiots down. read more

Ordered the mango strawberry smoothie off their Mango 50% off special, one of three drinks on discount. I ended up waiting about 10 minutes for this one drink, which would be fine if they were busy. Instead, I watched them wait until everyone else was gone and they had no orders before starting on mine. Then proceeded to ask around for how to make it. 3-4 employees making drinks, all giggling and taking their time while I was the only one there. When I picked up the drink and mentioned the long wait time, the employee just said "yeah, I see that." No apology. Cashier on the bakery side was nice and quick. Terrible customer service and drink-making skills, apparently, on the barista side. read more

DISGUSTING!!! Bought bread toast yesterday 12/24. Today upon prepping for breakfast, found mold in bread. Looked over the bread and saw that the sell by date was 12/23. This sounds ridiculous to me that the store didn't discard them on time, and still allow the customer to purchase without warning. I use to love this place so much. Mocha bread with walnuts!!! Came back several times and this item was not available. After years of not returning, this is what I get---moldy bread. read more
