The sea salt caramel coffee is amazing, and of course those baked goods are irresistible! Service here for me has always be quick and friendly. If you come right at opening the selection is sparse.

I love this location. Easy to park beautiful clean and fully renovated inside .the line isnt horrible like some other locations that wrap around the store. Their coffee is meh ( mainly ice barely any coffee) and the large cake not that great ( think sponge cakes but covered with either chocolate or fruits ). For birthday cake i would recommend going to an authentic french bakery instead for real cakes. The asian style pastries however are the best 👌 prices are affordable .the dough is always fluffy . I love that they display the calories for each pastries . They got some really great asian style bread too . So many different and fun flavor to choose from .i usually buy a few extra for me to eat the next day .i usually go to 85 for pastries only and the quality is pretty consistant . They tend to sell out fast very fast ... depending what time you go during the day they may not have much pastries left so if you work regular hours and want to pick up something sweet after work, you will have a very slim pick .they know the demand is HIGH but never make enough to meet the demand which is frustrating. Dont forget to use your app to earn points 😉.

This place is really nice. My first time here. Sea salt coffee still taste delicious. I always make it a point to stop by at least once whenever visiting CA. The pastries are always my fave.

I’ve been to most of the 85C locations in the OC area. This is a newer and smaller, but convenient and less crowded location. They have all the great Chinese breads, pastries, cakes and drinks you’d come to expect from the other locations. I enjoyed my visit here and would recommend it if you live nearby.

I might be 85c Bakerys best customer. Ive been there at least a thousand times. When this branch opened in my neighborhood, I couldnt be more delighted. Some people I was already familiar with work there and the service and food is top notch. I generally stick with their signature iced sea salt coffee but also enjoy the cake and bread when my calorie budget allows. The bread is baked on-site so you know its fresh. I noticed that the largest coffee chains are attempting to copy their finest recipes. That clearly means they recognize the threat. I have samples these imposter sea salt cream recipes and I can assure you there is an order of magnitude between them. 85c is the scientifically proven ideal temperature to pump espresso. The beans must be quality, the cream is actually butter guys. Nothing fake here.

🌟 GOOD VALUE, LOTS OF CHOICES - Get there by 7pm! 🌟✔️ Good value, excellent presentation & warm environment - for a strip mall location.✔️ Purchased a variety of pastries & desserts, all very fresh tasting.✔️ The selection is fantastic & I would encourage visitors to try things out of their normal tastes. I am picky, but found almost every item to be delicious and had a real homemade tasty.✔️ I spent several years shopping bakeries in the area and found many places with amazing variety and quality. I would rank this store in the top 5 of all the bakeries I have ever frequented.✔️ Better flavor then Costco & Sams Club bakeries - tastes fresh not preserved or frozen.✔️ Get there by 7pm for more selection, we arrived at 9pm to find limited selection. I have tried their breads before at a friends house & this led me to visit this location....happy I did.✔️ Prices are fair & on par with local grocery store bakeries.✔️ I am not a huge fan of do-it-yourself a la carte with trays, mostly because customers can be less than sanitary and touching everything they touch is not ideal. Overall it is not a deal breaker, the desserts are handled by the staff, breads are accessible similarly to local grocery store do-it-yourself displays.✔️ Employees are friendly, professional & eager to help which is nice. We visited the Fountain Valley store, I cant speak to the other locations.✔️ The desserts were very good, the cakes were amazingly delicate & light in texture which surprised me. The breads were delicious & in some cases more flavorful than certain desserts.OVERALL :: GREAT PLACE TO VISIT & I WILL RETURN...PROBABLY BEFORE 8pm NEXT TIME SO I CAN HAVE ACCESS TO MORE SELECTION.(THIS PLACE GETS VERY BUSY AT TIMES, PLAN ACCORDINGLY.)

Not my kind of bakery, I really disliked the pizza looking bread with onions in it. Its horrible cold and not much better when its warmed up. The cheese and garlic bread was good. And the blueberry cheesecake was very basic.

Love going here! The baked goods are delicious and fresh. The drinks are pretty good too. Weve had the tiger boba latte, the sea salt drinks, thai tea, and the mango slush which is tasty. I love getting the matcha chocolate bun and my husband liked the milk tea bun. Have yet to try the cakes.

This is a smaller store than the ones I usually go to, but the selection is good and service is good. However, I notice that employee(s) bringing out new bread did not yell Fresh Bread!. Which I thought was a neat thing

It seems like the management at this establishment is taking their reaction to the Novel Corona Virus discovered in 2019 to an irrational conclusion. When we were making a purchase I asked if the restroom was open so I could wash my hands. I was told it was closed due to the safety of the customer due to Covid 19. I asked how not letting customers cleanse hands is safer for me. The clerk had no answer. I asked what I should do. I was told to use a hand sanitizer. I asked if she realized this is intended to be used to kill bacteria and has little or no effect only killing viruses, and is indeed being used “off-label”. Again she had no answer. I feel the management is failing to train their staff. Ultimately I paid for the food and left with unclean hands. I hope I don’t get ill.

Very nice bakery with super nice employees and great system for picking out what to purchase. When you enter the store theres a tray to pick up and you go around in a line putting your own what you want on the tray. When you get the the register you can then order drinks and other deserts made behind the counter. The Tara latte is excellent and I would suggest it to anyone that goes. Its a tad pricy so I take off one star and there isnt too much seating.

Review №52

Decent location..not as crowded as Irvine but I also went in the daytime. As usual I love picking out tons of things to bring to a party but I dont have a favorite and dont think most things are that tasty. Drinks are okay..finally tried the sea salt iced coffee..was pretty decent.

Review №53

The baked goods are always fresh and tasty. There is a wide variety of sweet, semi sweet and savory pastries, desserts and cakes to choose from. They also have yummy milk teas, coffee and shakes here as well. Its fun to load up a tray full of your favorites. The prices are pretty reasonable.

We like 85C, usually. But this location just didnt seem to do the job we expected. It wasnt crowded like other stores. We bought a variety and were just nonplussed. Disappointed the potato croquettes were stale. Maybe thats why they were buy one get 50% off the 2nd.

They need more staff in the morning to help customers. Customers have to get to work on time and need to get back to work soon too. Other than that food is good. Also they should have all pastries out before they open.

GO BEFORE THE EVENING RUSH!!!⭐ Sooooooo good!!!⭐ They run out of things periodically, but what can you expect from such a popular place?⭐ I have never bought something I did not like, even if I had no idea what I was eating :)⭐ Fairly clean (Keep trays clean always!)⭐ Prices are reasonable, quality is on point.⭐ Quick ring up, friendly staff.⭐ Parking is tolerable, not bad, but not ideal. (Stonefire Grill has worst parking in the lot.)⭐ The Milk White Chocolate items are AWESOME!!!⭐ SUMMARY ⭐ Good bakery, great value & a MUST TRY!!!Bring the family, they will love picking out goodies, you feel like a kid in a candy store here for real!

Review №85

One of the best asian bakerys in the OC, they always have new items to try and most of them are very inexpensive.The visual presentation of all the pastries and breads makes it very difficult to resist wanting to buy all of them at the same time, but with some inner strength you can get only the ones that you really want to try.The beverages are really good and they have a nice selection of coffee based drinks, which always pairs well with the pastries.Hope you can try them all !

As long as the economy continues to improve these type businesses will do well. It would be nice to see another Portos open up in central or southern Orange County. Theyre much better in quality and price.

Review №87

I really enjoy 85C Bakery Cafe, but this location is the worst. No matter what time of day I go, they always seem to be out of everything. When I ask the employees if they will be making more of any pastry, doesnt matter which one, they say that they wont be making any more for the rest of the day. So I ask what time do they normally make the pastry I am looking for, and they have no response to my answer. How do you expect people to come back to this place if the pastry cases are always empty or only filled with 3 kinds of pastrys that have been sitting there all day? Stay away from this location and try you luck some place else. It isnt worth the headaches dealing with employees that dont even know what is going on in their own store.
