If I could give this location 0 stars, I would. I walked in on June 27th in the afternoon and surprisingly it was not too busy. I grabbed a butter wreath and proceeded to the check out line to order a Thai Tea with Boba. The cashier was done taking a woman's order, and as I proceeded to walk to the register, she looked at me and walked away. I really thought she was going to make a drink or help a customer out, but was I wrong! She walked towards the back area, flipped through some pages on the wall, and proceeded to talk to the 3 female workers. Two of which were passing the phone around. They conversated and laughed for about three minutes. Meanwhile, the male worker patiently worked on the customer's drinks. He seemed to be the only one on the floor actually doing his job! One of the female workers looked at me and walked towards me with her head down. She politely took my order but by then I was annoyed. I paid for my drink and my bread, (which btw was burnt from the bottom). Unfortunately, I did not notice until I got home. This location needs to train their staff all around. Burnt bread and horrible service. I'd much rather drive to the 85 in Gardena. They have waaaaaay better customer service. read more

I'm a daily 85°C customer and love the Vietnamese coffee, but the South Gate location's working conditions are unacceptable compared to Century City, Torrance, Cerritos, and quite frankly ANY other 85 location. I have personally witnessed numerous disruptive and concerning interactions involving homeless individuals inside and outside the store at all kinds of hours, then the employees (mostly women) are left to manage these hectic/dangerous situations. I've recently asked if they had part time security since the problems seems to be getting worse and they said not specifically for their store so they sometimes have to resort to calling 911 when the disruptions continue. But today I was appalled, the floor behind the counter (the entire employee work space) was severely flooded. Employees' shoes and pants were soaked-splashing around and I when I questioned what was happening with all this water and i was told they had been working like this since yesterday. I had noticed a smaller stagnate puddle on a previous visits two days ago and was informed it was a minor leak already being taken care of, false, the store looks and smells flooded . I and several other customers were genuinely worried someone would slip and get hurt since they were working so fast and efficiently, especially given their work conditions and them clearly being understaffed (a regular issue i've only seen at this particular location) Corporate needs to do better. Your hard working employees deserve a safe workplace, proper security, and management that prioritizes their well-being. I love this bakery, but these conditions reflect poorly on the companies values and standards. Please investigate and take action before someone under your employment gets seriously hurt. read more

To be honest this place has grown on me. The pastries are cheap but delicious. The drinks are amazing. The service impeccable. I really do love the cleanliness of the place and the relaxed atmosphere of the place. I have yet to try all the yummy things here but I'm sure they are all delicious. You won't be disappointed here. read more

i was disappointed with what i had ordered. it was a catering party tray of the savory kind. it did not look like the pictures. the bottom was burnt and bitter. when i came up to pick up the order i had placed a week prior, the staff said they did not have it ready at the time i selected. i had to wait about 15 min extra for them to prepare it. i assume they quickly had to put everything together. there was also a long line, so i suggest there should be two cashiers available for better flow. read more

I hope I'm spelling it right but Jessica Clamos was awesome. I'd never been there before and she suggested which drinks to try. Which were the strawberry yuzu and peach green tea. And when I expressed how the sweetness that I wanted wasnt there she helped me with the verbiage to use next time. Thank you so much Jessica read more

Coffee is great but sucks that I got 95% of ice and only 5% coffee. Maybe you guys can work on not putting so much ice and actually selling coffee. read more

85°C Bakery Cafe-South Gate - Mostly ice, hardly any coffee!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Gate, California

Cannot stand going to this location but it's the only one in my area. Everytime I go there's about 4-6 employees walking around behind the counter and in the dining room either having conversations with each other or doing anything but attending to the guests. I feel like I wait at the counter for at least 5-10 minutes before anyone looks at me or acknowledges me. I understand that the person working the drink station is busy, but when I see you talking to a coworker who seems to be off the clock instead of telling a coworker to help with the line that isn't being attended to or at least acknowledge me and tell me that someone will be with me it's a little upsetting. When I order my drink I almost always seem to get the wrong drink as well which is pretty annoying. read more

I love their bread here and their Vietnams coffee but they blend their coffee. I am not asking for a frap I want an ice coffee! I asked not blended and they said no. read more

I think this place is more expensive than Portos but I just like that there's not a big line. The cakes are delicious and I love all the different flavors. Definitely a dangerous place for me to go to today. I just picked up some cake cakes for a birthday party five stars. read more

This is the far worse store in all of LA! They open at 7am, have all their shelves empty; attitude of the staff is the worse and it's never clean. Been here enough times to finally make it my last time coming. Why open at 7am if you will have all the shelves empty and then see all the pastries just sitting in the back!?! The Hawaiian Chicken was so burnt and looked dry, that I asked the staff why did the chicken looked dry and hard, she just looked at me. It's a shame that that 85 is highly recommended and has a poor store like this one. read more

I experienced an incredibly frustrating experience today at 85*bakery today. I am a fan of this bakery but today while visiting this particular bakery in South Gate I was appalled to see the water running while waiting for my order. I politely asked the -not very polite attendant- if someone forgot to turn off the faucet behind her when I noticed the water was flowing? She said no, she said that they leave the water flowing all day not only in the faucet I noticed but in another one. I asked if this was a corporate decision because given our water shortage in California and drought how can an individual leave the water running!?!?! Maybe they should use the water to clean their establishment because I was surprised in comparison to other 85- degrees bakeries it wasn't very clean. All I can think about imagine how many gallons of precious water have been wasted in this establishment. It's pretty disgusting. read more

Thank you to Julio! Very pleasant guy. Great attitude. Great customer service. Busy place. Lots of people every time we come here. read more

This location is far worse than any other I've been to. I bought some breads meant for gifting. I was embarrassed to give them out as they were noticeably old and dry. If I were to take a guess, they seem to be 3+ days old... It is also concerning if they were safe to consume as they were next to the window in the sun. I had the same experience a year ago at this same location. Seems like there has been no improvement. read more

Jessica Llamas ugly attitude makes me not want to come back maybe because there's two baristas that dont even try to help but as a service worker myself it doesn't take much to say thank you...?? read more

Came in on Christmas Eve to get some oolong milk tea. I just want to say thanks to 85 for being the only milk tea place open lol also, I'd like to shout out the hard working staff that kept things moving fast. I don't know why this location has bad reviews. But I hope mine helps. No matter what 85 I go to, I always have a great experience. And that's why I keep going back. Fair prices, wide selection. Clean restaurants and great service. Plenty of parking too. I use my 85 app to earn points towards freebies. Nothing much to say here. Other than thanks for the good vibes and good milk tea. Keep up the good work. read more

Wonderful, light, and fresh pastries that anyone would love. I enjoyed the selection but make sure to get in early because they will run out fast. We got there around 9 AM and more than half of the pastries were already gone!!! There were plenty of cake slices and other refrigerated goods available but highly recommend to get there early. Drinks were tasty! I ordered the lemonade and hibiscus chilled tea. Loved it! Plenty of seating for a few friends. Overall service is fast and friendly! Would definitely come back! read more

Despite it being my first time at 85, I had a wonderful experience. The staff in the afternoon were accommodating and friendly despite the rush. The coffee I'd ordered and the lemon cupcakes were tasty as well. Would recommend coming here :) read more

I still give them a 5 because they have good bread and coffee, but I can't say the same about the cakes. I've tried the Mango, forest, and coffee crème brûlée (recently) and they weren't my favorite. I rather drive to Porto's. Yesterday I tried the coffee one and although it was tasty, the bread was really dry! I would not buy again. read more

First time visitor to the location. Grabbed a spinach and kale pastry and a hibiscus lemonade. Both items were very good and fresh. Prices were good and customer service was very good. The only negative item was the limited pastry and bread selection. Despite this issue, this was a good dining experience. read more

I usually frequent this place and employees are usually nice but this morning Luis helped me out and was instantly rude. I have never had their drinks usually just pastries so I'm not familiar with their drink menu so I asked if I can request a drink with less matcha in it he said no and that's okay understandable. I got a couple pastries and a hot chocolate he gave me my receipt and turned around to go make drinks didn't even say a word. I had to check my receipt to see if he put in my hot chocolate because he didn't even say to wait on the side for the drink just walked away. read more

Horrible, horrible horrible service. I waited in line 18 mins to purchase a drink, which was not made right and they gave me an attitude to change it so I ended up walking out will never go back read more

I wish i could gave this location a 3.5 star. The only reason that I gave this location a solid 4 star is because of the nice seating area that giving you a coffee house vibes. I went to different locations of 85c and hands down this place has the most memorable interior. I felt like I'm at my local coffee shop. I came by craving for some good coffee. I usually order the Sea Salt coffee series. However, I decided to went with my gut trying out the new Vietnamese Coffee. Unfortunately it did not gave me the coffee satisfaction that I need. I think the problem with this particular menu is that they put tons of crushed ice in it. I'm left with a bit disappointment. I thought I should've stick with my good ol' trusty Sea Salt Coffee. read more

I ordered a strawberry deluxe cake online but when I went to pick it up a few hours later, the girl at the register said they ran out and no one saved one for me. She offered a refund or another cake in stock. I called that night and I think Eric apologized about what happened and told me to call in the morning to see if the strawberry deluxe cake would be available. When I called the next day, Jessica was so helpful and compensated me with the cake I wanted, for all of the inconvenience. What started out as an annoying encounter ended up being a good experience because of Jessica's customer recovery skills. read more

We especially go there for the drinks!!! But everything pretty much is delicious!!! We often buy cakes for birthdays/celebrations and they never disappoint!!! Only thing I have a problem with is the fact that I order online sometimes and there's no point because they don't have my order ready and they start making it when I arrive/check in, so like what's the point of online ordering?! I never really have sat there to eat or drink anything, my orders are always to go, but the ambience is always kinda of a bit hectic and loud, which I totally understand because that place is always busy!!! read more

The place is okay. Customer service in store is okay. But I came in for a drink and I found a bug in my drink! Update: I reached out to customer service to complain, and customer service hasn't even responded to me. I reached out twice. IGNORED. Why have a customer service line if no one is helping customers? If my drink had bugs It makes me wonder if my food has bugs. read more

Had no coffee -- at all. Didn't appreciate cashier's attitude either but maybe that's just me.

Went in the morning today, and experienced very bad customer service. I ordered two coffee beverages, one hot and one cold. Staff gave me two hot beverages, I kindly told the lady working that the order was wrong, and she prepared me the iced beverage but in a rudely manner grab one of the hot coffees and tossed it in the trash, like not me wanting to have it with lots of anger. To me this is very disrespectful!!!!! Very disappointed, wish I could left a rating of a 0, of how mad and disappointed I am at the staff and their manners. read more

I love the mango mouse cake! It was a hit at my family function I have now had it twice and it was a hit the second time as well! Best bet is to check if they have it first because they sell out quick!! read more

Right at the front door there is a big bottle of hand sanitizer for customers to use, the bakery is clean and well put together. I couldn't help but notice the selection was very limited, which was kind of disappointing. We ordered a mango cake. The mango toppings were almost rock hard and had to be moved from the cake before cutting the slices, not only were they hard to eat but they were also disturbingly sour. Over all our quick visit was not overwhelming and they had exactly what we wanted. However I'd probably drive further to a different location since they lack variety. read more
