85°C Bakery Cafe - Downtown Los Angeles

All I ever get here is the Mango Slush because it is so good! I make a lot of frozen fruit drinks at home and I'm often disappointed when I buy them from restaurants and stands but not from 85, these are the best I've ever had and I've not been able to duplicate them at home. This is a must stop if you are in the area. It is like drinking the best mango I've ever eaten, naturally sweet and refreshing. They make it quickly and freshly and it is not that expensive.

Chain bakery delivers the goods!! Taiwanese style pastries and Guatemalan coffee, what more can you asked for. Eight five have a plethora different types of snacks and drinks. I myself had to go with a cafe con leche and a slab of cheese cake and a slab of Black Forest. Why not. And a taro drink for the Mrs.. Overall it’s a solid pastry shop and it’s great for breakfast or dessert. Dos cakes up 🍰🍰

The bakery is absolutely delicious! I feel like there were fewer options here as the store was a bit smaller but whatever they had was super tasty. The staff was quick and friendly!

Great customer service. Delicious, fresh bakery, cakes. A variety of ice & hot drinks.

Unexpected, but maybe the best bakery I’ve been to in a while. I loved the unusual flavors and an Asian bakery offers all of that and more. I’m still dreaming of the sweet roll and chocolate bun! Think soft, milky, savory and not too overwhelmingly sweet. All things bread with oh so much to offer that we love when we think bakery!

I got 6 things from this bakery and it was just okay. The breads all taste the same: hawaiian rolls with the smallest dollop of fruit flavor. The tiramosu didn't taste like coffee or chocolate. It was all such a let down. Definitely going back to mom and pop shops this place sucks.

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! I'm 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.

If you like sweets this is the place to go. The variety will make you go on circles trying to pick a couple things instead of ten.
Prices are very pleasant.
$1.80 apple danish
$2.00 spinach danish
They also have boba! for extra $0.50
2.75 medium Jasmine Green Tea

old review:

This 85°C location seems to be perpetually short staffed. The service is courteous and good nonetheless, but other areas suffer: signage is often wrong, it may get slow at times, and the pastry quality is not as great as other locations. The staff does wonders with the resources they have, but the experience is objectively not the best.
