This is a small 85 C bakery/ cafe in the San Leandro Plaza shopping center. Actually, it looked bigger from the outside. I was there at around 12-Noon on a Friday. There seemed to be a fair amount of baked goods for sale. A fellow Yelper told me I should try their Mochi Egg Tarts, so I made it a point to get some of those. So I got- Mochi Egg Tarts, Strawberry cake, and Sugared Cream Cheese Brioche. Service was nice and polite. Checkout is quick with tap and pay. They have a few tables along the wall. So the Mochi Egg Tarts were very good. Creamy egg, flaky crust, and a dose of sweetness. However, the Sugared Cream Cheese Brioche wasn't sweet at all. I was a little surprised at how plain it was. The Strawberry cake was okay. I wanted to get a Chocolate Cream Roll. In San Leandro, the Sheng Kee Bakery is only 3 miles away. So I have the option of going there if I don't like whats available at 85 C.

Ordered savory, sweet and cake trays to be picked up at 7:30am. Arrived at 7:45am and the order wasnt ready yet. A lot of pastries weren't out yet as they were just coming out hot and ready. The location of the bread seems to be facing the sun so some pastries with a fresh strawberries were getting condensation in the plastic bag that it was wrapped in. Wish there were more options out especially during the weekend Plenty or parking. Clean Friendly staff

Our go to spot for my 85 degree coffee craving & pastries. This location is always changing the front entrance around but bc it is small it's not hard to navigate. I've noticed that the popular items such as Brioche loaf, Pineapple buns often has 2 shelves, so if those are your favorites, this location has plenty. Service is always pleasant & friendly, so this location is where I like to get my buns & 85 degree coffee. Pastries & Drinks: Brioche Bread-slight sugary crust on top w/a pillow soft bread. This loaf can last me a few days so this is budget friendly & a consistent purchase. Coffee Cruffin-a coffee cream infused inside this croissant muffin. My daughter enjoyed it with a nice coffee flavor, but I would just stick to my usual Brioche Bread. Mini Sponge Cakes (in a pack of 6) - for an airy & light lemon spofrom 85 degree this satisfies my mother in law, so you cant go wrong with this. I'm a loyal patron bc of the competitive price, quality of coffee drinks & service.

I've been here a few times and they always had everything in stock! There are a tons of pastries and desserts that are tasty! I've also ordered 2 cakes from here: the mango crème brûlée & the red velvet! Both were good! I also like that they give candles, a HBD chocolate sign, and a plastic knife/serving utensils. There are a few tables inside to enjoy your drink/pastries. I haven't ordered any drinks from here but I do like the pastries! Free parking lot. Just beware that there are some homeless people around.

First time I got the chocolate toast. I LOVE IT! It's thick and bot too sweet. SO GOOD!!!! I love the thickness and the texture. The coffee is strong! I got the coffee with no sugar and just boba. My only complaint is that they didn't give me much boba :( For a large size.. :(((( The cashiers are super nice and patient as I was figuring out the app and I got my birthday reward of getting 50% off a drink! :)

Kind employees, very much appreciated their help choosing a cake. They provided candles, a small chocolate "happy birthday" decoration, and a serving knife. Will definitely get cakes again here!

Have been a fan of 85C for many many years, and this location is always the most convenient for me. Always appreciate their milk tea with foam, and love their pastries. Not as good as Porto's in Socal, but a very solid Asian bakery. You can get like 7 pastries for about $18 ish. Pros: - post-covid everything is already individually wrapped, which I think helps with infection control (even if it does use a lot of plastic). - Lots of variety, and it changes frequently and they'll bring out "FRESH BREAD!" intermittently as they shout that haha - has a separate drink order kiosk now to help with congestion - wide variety of sweet and savory pastries - pretty reliable egg tarts - very efficient cashiers, I think most of the time if there's a long wait in line it's because a customer is not being efficient, not the staff. - Has a few tables to sit if you want to eat in - close to a lot of other establishments, so easy to go here before or after a meal etc. Cons: - not many! other than if you go too late in the day there can be less selection, so go earlier in the day if you can!

Very quick service and we used coupons and the cashier was very helpful in walking us through the process. Outstanding bakery items.

From savory to sweet. My delicious cravings are filled. Here's a brief review of my top selection from 85 Degrees Bakery Cafe (minus the drinks--I'll review them some other day). Mango Custard Bun. Slightly sweet with hints of tanginess from the tropical fruit. This bun tastes like a goodness pillow. Boroh Danish. Do you know what's going on in here? It's all the crispiness savory yummy. Croissant Crunch. More like Bye Bear Claws. Jumbo Guava Cheese Strudel. Porto's famous guava pastry wannabe? Love that parking is open in the plaza and free for patrons. There's almost never a wait line here. So, it's excellent. It's overall not-so-loud. Good for a first date.

I love their assortment of breads, pastries and cakes. I decided to try their mocha coffee today and honestly, it wasn't that great. It just tasted like watered down coffee, no mocha taste, no sugar either. My husband got one of the sea salt coffees and that tasted way better. I love the more savory breads/pastries but they have this brioche loaf that is soooo yummy. Their garlic cheese bread is also really good and my daughters love the chocolate cake roll. The staff is always really friendly and helpful as well. The bakery is in a shopping plaza with tons of parking so that's a plus!

"Light ice" but the cup is almost full

The bakery is delicious, and the drinks are great, but the barista isn't. There's one girl in particular that doesn't respect "light ice". She fills the cup almost full of crushed ice and she shakes the coffee so much that it makes it foamy. Never had an issue with my order till now. On this occasion I asked for sea salt cream and it literally took me 5sips to finish the coffee. Now I'm stuck with ice and foam.

I originally came in for Dubai inspired chocolate pistachio cheesecake but was instead greeted so warmly by head pastry chef Nile! She is full of life and so passionate about her baked goods. I almost wanted to buy one of everything after hearing about each item. Desserts: *Blueberry Ube Cheesecake *Pistachio Ricotta Cake *Dubai Pistachio Chocolate Cake with Biscoff Cookie Butter *Red Velvet Cheesecake Cup Nile just baked the Dubai cake and mentioned she would have a slice for herself that night. It was sweet and decadent for sure. Definitely perfect for sharing! I loved the blueberry ube cheesecake and so did Mom! I was looking for my leftovers and they disappeared from the fridge. Creamy and slightly fruity with that thick buttery crust-- amazing! Pistachio Ricotta cake was light and moist. Perfect when you want something delicately sweetened for tea time. Red Velvet cheesecake cup was just ok for me due to the cheesecake frosting. I think I would've preferred a whole slice of cake instead. This bakery kiosk is a part of Turkish-Mediterranean restaurant Moussaka. Interior has the cutest cafe tables and chairs. Love the grey with baby pink + mint green color scheme. Step inside and go directly to the dessert display to place an order. They're also on DoorDash. Can't wait to see what Chef Nile comes up with next!

Well proportioned with cake, cream, and fruits; see pictures. Lastly, I really really liked the lady fingers, which must be a signature item as it is in the name of the business. Good firm texture, crispy shell, etc. I made sure I had a piece with each bite of the rest of the cake. Atmosphere - Small local business, please support local. To-go business. Plenty of metered parking, 3 meter maids today!! Open 6 days a week; closed Mondays. Service - 6 stars. Ivy and her team are so welcoming and professional.

Thanks. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for the 45+ years.

They move pretty quickly as there's multiple people filling orders. It can get chaotic once you do order with multiple people upfront and whoever was helping is not who is helping you with payment. We tried the fish sandwich, pineapple custard, egg tart, chicken feet, and the shrimp ha gow. They were out of beef sui mai. The fish was really nice and crispy. Had a fresh flavor and the bun was nice and soft. I really liked it but I wish the mayo was spread more evenly. I only got mayo in my last two bites. I took the remaining home and added my own sauce which made it delicious. The pineapple custard was ok. The custard wasn't evenly distributed either and the bread was quite thick. The pineapple crust wasn't as flakey as I like. I wouldn't get this again. The egg tart had too much breading, it was dry and not flaky. The egg custard itself was on the smaller side. The chicken feet were a bit too salty and needed more sugar. My favorite was the ha gow, it was really fresh and soft. I would have gotten more! They also have frozen dim sum you can buy.

Even better than how it looked, was how it tasted! The person we were celebrating is Gluten Free and the cake was gluten free and vegan. I didn't have huge expectations of the taste based on past experiences, but i would have had no idea. The cake was perfectly moist and dense snickerdoodle flavored. The icing had that perfect texture and was cinnamon sweet. It was amazing! I live in Seattle and it was for a baby shower in Oakland. I was nervous because I've never ordered a custom cake before, I was doing it at a bakery I don't know in a city I was visiting and needs it dropped off. Alexandra eased any worries I had and made the experience memorably wonderful. The shower wasn't going to help traditional - not a drop of pink or blue so I wanted to give some direction on what I was hoping for. I sent some images as a reference and Alexandra offered input to make sure we were aligned. She then created something that went with what I was thinking, but it was even more beautiful. I know I am gushing, but I can't help it. If you are looking for a special cake that tastes as good as it looks, use Salted Holiday!

Honestly probably one of the top 10 unique mocha's I have tried and it was delicious! I loved the burst of refreshing orange that complimented the chocolate. The flavors danced on my tastebuds like two separate flavors that blended together as one. Each holding their own note that added value to the drink making it unique.

My routine, fly into to Oakland, drive to Moussaka for lunch (rip the former chef/owner and restaurant), head 2 doors down to Zocalo for coffee on the ride home. If my flight was extra early and Moussaka was closed still, Zocalo was more than good enough to fit my food and coffee needs.
