This bakery store is well-organized, lots of types of cakes. A typical coffee is deserved to try, not too sweet. Below are two types of coffees that we ordered.

85°C Wow! Im glad I stumbled across it. Peach/Mango smoothie was excellent as was the tea. All of the baked goods and desserts looked wonderful. Unfortunately I had just ate, because the cakes looked so good.

I thought of getting a cake for someones bday at the last minute. It was late Saturday and this place was one of the few open bakery’s. There was a few cakes to choose from. I order a coffee cake, and it was delivered within 45 minutes of me placing the order. Cake tasted fantastic, and I loved the no hassle ordering online options.

I love 85 degrees. This is a Taiwanese bakery with lots of buns and cakes to choose from. When you go in, just grab a tray and a pair of tongs and start picking out yummy pastries. Ive never tried the savory buns, but they look really tasty too. I like this apple bun thingy with custard, and I always get a Sea salt iced black tea with half the normal amount of sugar (to offset the sweet buns!)

Love the variety of Asian American fusion pastries. Very narrow shop with limited counter seating. Staff are friendly but they do not accept American Express or have a bathroom. Would recommend the Marble Taro Bread!

Oh boy, this stop is a home run in my books. Delicious offerings that sub as nice small meals for breakfast or lunch. Of course, offering all sorts of pastries and sweets. The pricing here is unbelievably cheap for DTLA.

By far one of the best Bakery and Café I have been to.For my first visit I got the Chicken Pesto Panini and all I got to say is... Damn that was so good! So cheesy, so filling, and so flavorful.And how could I have left without getting some dessert, so I left with some of the fruit tart. That blew me away also, fresh and tasty.Overall my experience was one of the best. The staff and environment was amazing.I sure will be back for more!!

Review №16

This place is great for a coffee run in the morning or to grab a pastry at lunch. The pastry selection isn’t what you might expect, though. 85 Degrees has interesting Taiwanese and Japanese pastries, like snow bread and honey teriyaki chicken. The Japanese mango bread is my personal favorite, definitely would recommend it. The only downside to this spot is the often long line. It’s worth the wait though if you’re up for something new.

I heard so much about 85°C Bakery Cafe which I think originated in South Cal. Finally got to try it during my visit to LA. I might have caught it on an off-day and also I was there just before closing also. I found the bread is kind of stale. The mango dessert cake and black forest cake was on par with other Asian bakery, but nothing really stands out. Its not bad, just doesnt quite live up to the hype... IMHO.

De
Review №20

If you are the type of person that needs coffee and a muffin in the morning to get your day going, then 85C is probably your best bet. The coffee is decent (by which I would say Starbucks quality or better depending on the day) and the baked goods are inexpensive and delicious. In fact, if you wanted to just grab a baked good in the morning, I would recommend that because you can get 2 items here for the price of anything at Starbucks or Coffee Bean easily.My only complaint would be that sometimes the line gets backed-up due to the espresso machine. Listen, this isnt exactly a coffee shop, so if you want a morning latte Id recommend going somewhere else to save some time. Not that they cant make the latte, it just takes forever and hold everything up.

Review №24

I had heard great things about Tarting so they were high on my list for places I must go in Los Angeles, and this location happened to be right near where I was working. Their croissants are just as good as all the reviews say. I dont think you could go wrong with any pastry here!

Review №26

The menu is pleasant and so are their prices. One can come, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy some cakey views. I thought the cheesecake was actually really quite good. I ate it very fast! It was small, good portion, and not too sweet at all. Great consistency and texture.

Review №27

The place is well organized .It goes like this : enter get a tongue and a tray + a tray cover. Pick up your desired goodies then proceed to the cashiers who pack your order. What seems to be lacking in the bakery is a smile and some compassion for the average Joe. I had some puff creme muffins and the price was affordable. However there seems to be some pastries that are a bit high. The clientele to me seem to be upper middle Class and yuppies. I might go back but Id like to see more smiles when I do go back.

Great food and drinks. The 85C Bakery Cafe - Downtown Los Angeles brunch is good. Hot chocolate is smooth. The special drink eggnot is colorful and taste like candy, also great as well. Atmosphere is great, lots of window and light.

Unique & popular fresh bread creations continually put out. Trays of some really popular items get emptied by eager downtown L.A. customers almost as fast as they get put out. (Fill a box & take it to the office or home for a special gathering.)

Best croissants in LA. Get in line and pay handsomely for the euphoria-producing chocolate almond croissant or the slightly less sinful almond croissant. Both are mind-blowing and memorable!

Review №36

I love this bakery chain. My favorite picks are the brioche bread, garlic bread and anything with chocolate chips. They also have a variety of teas drinks, like sea salt jasmine green tea, to wash down these delicious pastries.This location is conveniently located on the street corner and walking distance from Los Angeles Central Public Library and Pershing Square. The space is small and cozy with a few counter seats. DTLA just good hooked up with a great affordable Asian bakery. Enjoy!

Great pastries. Better than donuts! Take some to give to your office friends and you will be the popular guy.Their cakes are amazing too. Every birthday on the office people order from them. Especially the strawberry cake. Very fluffy, fresh and not to sweet. Very good.

Bruuuuuuh this place....words cant describe how great of a bakery this is. The bread was literally coming out every 7 minutes or so. Me and my friend stumbled upon this place during an early morning walk. We did not anticipate on finding such a jewel. Everything that we had in there was phenomenal. It was well-cooked, seasoned, and fresh. Great place. I highly suggest you visit here if you get the chance. And it was very cheap

Review №43

The bread is delicious and there are so many different options to try ranging from very unique to pretty standard for bakeries. Their drinks are also very good. Even in the morning rush, theyre polite and quick with drink orders. The staff is friendly and happy to be there. Love this place and if I ever travel to any of the other cities they have a location in, Ill definitely be stopping by.

Ive been to all the 85° in so cal, and even though I have nothing but observational data, I truly think this specific one in downtown LA bakes the best pastries (in case youre curious the one in Sherman oaks bakes the worst lol). For first timers I recommend the strawberry bun!!!!

Ive been working in L.A. since 2010, but I have not heard of 85 Degrees, until today, thanks to my friend Judith. I really liked their baked goodies, most especially their Brioche, Chocolate Brioche and Matcha Red Bean. The Chocolate Chip Bowl was also good. I tried the Sea Salt Jasmine Tea and it was great. I will surely be back to get my husband his birthday cake here. The store was clean and the staff was helpful. It surely was a great find in the heart of Downtown L.A.

Review №53

This is a great chain bakery, unfortunately the location in DTLA lacks the freshness of the Century City location. The food is good at both but the Century City location has always had warm items and more of a selection. In all fairness I think the one in DTLA is smaller and maybe not as busy. Overall it is a great value and good bread and pastries.

Review №55

I got the green tea affogato, which was pretty tasty. I initially thought that the price was a little high, because Ive had regular coffee affogatos before, but you get quite a big portion of gelato. The presentation is also very nice and matches the overall aesthetic of the coffee and tea spot.

Review №56

I love this place - coffee and breads are amazing! I havent been able to by snow bread in weeks (so sad). This location is tiny! There is only enough room for 4-5 people to sit...there is no outside seating, so get your pastries and coffee to-go.

Review №57

Wow! The quality of the baked goods is phenomenal and it is a bit expensive but I think worth the extra premium. I wouldn`t go after any of the drinks and just focus on the baked goods (you can get coffee/tea somewhere else).I got the coconut tart and the lemon one. They look as good as they taste! Crust is perfectly flakey and the fillings are sublime (great balance of texture with sweetness). Will definitely be back to show some friends.

Review №63

I used to visit this place quite often. But a brand should not just be carried by how great the product is and how well it is advertized, it also should be carried by its customer service. One time I came in and a customer had ordered many pieces and has held the line up. I did not mind this, although there were 3 other staff that did not jump at the opportunity to recognize there was a line and it has been 15 minutes, and the only action and recognition I received was the awkward look. These people had stepped up their disrespect and rudeness when one of them rolled their eyes on me. When finally after 20 minutes one of them finally provided service, when the transaction was complete, that employee just left without saying thank you. This store should not even get a star from me. Very rude, very disrespectful, and no manners. They made me feel very disgusting.

I was really excited to try this place after I read about them in Red Tricycle.We had a bacon maple bar - SO YUMMY!! My oldest son had jelly filled and said they were the best he every ate. I liked that they had a red, fruity icing for most of their doughnuts.I would have liked to have seen some more creative flavor choices, but was very happy with my buttermilk doughnut.

85° finally opened here in DTLA! Centrally located on the corner of Wilshire and Hope. The bread, cakes and drinks are all still yummy here in the new location but unlike its suburban counterparts, the space is quite tiny and can make maneuvering aid quite difficult during busy hours. Parking is also a small issue here. Id suggest walking here or coming with another person and sending one in while the other waits in the car.

Review №75

I love 85C, but Im giving this DTLA spot 3 stars because of a rude employee. I had dropped my drink outside and the cup broke, so I went back in holding it in a certain way to make sure it wasnt spilling like crazy. I didnt want to put it on the counter because it was dripping, and I asked if he could help me throw it away. The employee just stood there and then he replied by saying What are you doing!? Stop spilling all over my counter! I explained I couldnt let it go or all the liquid would come out, and he was so annoyed he didnt even listen and snatched the cup out of my hand which resulted in the drink spilling on the floor. He then gave me the rudest look, and mumbled under his breath. Not only that, he was also giving attitude to his co-worker. Very disappointed that this one employee ruined the DTLA 85C for me.

Review №76

Pretty tight in this location. Dont expect to lounge about and enjoy your boba and buns... But it has everything that every other 85C has which is great. If you are in the mood for almost kind of pastry (besides pie) or are tired of the coffee or tea drinks from Starbucks definitely check this place out.

Great pastry and cakes. The coffee doesnt meet the Starbucks quality. The only problem I have here are long lines in the rush hours. They never use all the cash registers they have and since I am rushing to my work I really dont have time to spend 5 to 10 minutes in the line. I believe they are trying to save money on the staff but on the other side loosing money on people who can not wait in the line

This is more of a take-out place compared to other 85 locations. My favorite is the cheese tart, but it normally sells out by the time I get there around 4:40pm.
