This is my favorite 85C Bakery location in San Diego because it's more stocked than others. They have a good amount of variety in their pastries available. It's never busy when I go, but I've only gone here during off hours on the weekday. I'm sure it's busy on the weekends.
I absolutely love their sea salt iced coffee. Love most of their pastries too. Their cakes are great and Asian style so they're not too sweet. They always have some ready if you need to buy one last minute.
Service is friendly and quick here. Never have to wait too long in line to check out. There is some seating and the store is clean. Parking is plenty and easy.
The cake display was not working, one of the bathrooms was out of order, and there was a list of items that was not available. One of the items (mango smoothie) was part of the monthly promo discount. Apparently, the blender was not working, so they offered to make me another drink (taro latte). It was actually really good, think I will order it again (or as a blended drink) next time!
It's always such a treat walking into 85°C Bakery. I've been to a couple of others in San Francisco and Las Vegas as well. My boyfriend and I always stop by if we are in the area to pick up some bread and drinks to take home.
I would recommend going early on in the day/afternoon as the bread selection thins out as the day goes on. I especially love their various breads with custard filling and the caramel pudding! They also have savory bread options like curry breads and one with ham, cheese, hot dogs, etc. All the bread choices are individually wrapped, and you just place whatever items you want on a tray to bring to check out.
As far as their drinks go, my go-to is the red grapefruit green tea, and you can choose various add-ins for you drink like boba or lychee jelly.
10/10 would recommend stopping by for their delicious breads, cute desserts, and refreshing drinks.
Great location since it's next to Tesla charging station, and that's how to go in there and spend $ on their bake goods while my car is charging 😀
Wide variety of baked breads, spicy sweet and savory all kinds, wide variety of fresh cakes and pastries. They have good menu for coffee and tea as well. For cakes you can order one day ago and it will be ready to pick up next day. The cakes are not too sweet as most American cakes, this is on a light side of sweet which makes this special. They have website too and you can order from there as well.
Always fun to come in and pick from the variety of flavors. Not the usual bakery flavors in France, Italy. Or America, for these are Asian inspired! Taro, matcha, red bean, coconut, chocolate, and more.
Order specialty drink both caffeinated and non.
*The Mira Mesa location had a strong smell of cleaning supplies today, which deterred from the smells of fresh baked goodies and coffee.
I have been hearing great things about this bakery, and I finally had a chance to go and check it out for myself. I did go later in the day, so their selection was not vast, but what I did get was great.
It’s always fun to come into the store when they have a lot of items available. Service is good, the crew are cheerful and efficient.
Always love the desserts here. Got the seasonal Strawberry de Leche drink and it tasted pretty good. They only let in a certain amount of people at a time. I went around 10-ish AM and it was fairly busy, but you don't have to wait long in line anyways :),
... bake goods are really yummy ( fresh )/ coffee n bubbletea is also available... a must see when in San Diego... bought a lot to 🍁 cheers!
