85C Bakery Cafe - Irvine

The incredible Taiwanese coffee and bakery. The original in OC in the heart of Irvine’s Korean and Asian shopping center. This where it all started folks. Now they have a couple of self serve kiosks so the line doesn’t go out the door but don’t be mistake the place is packed with people waiting for their order. I am so glad that you can now pick the level of sweetness of their drinks.

Delicious bakery treats, coffee & tea! I ordered hibiscus iced tea. I also bought a chocolate croissant, mango bun, strawberry cream milk bun, and an almond bun. So fresh and yummy. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended! Their bakery is great! Make sure to try their danish almond, also their egg tarts. The best you can get there is their caramel pudding! A must, indeed! Their cakes are so yummy, especially their tiramisu and chocolate cake. If you visit at night you may not find everything, so check it out during the day.

Great selection of affordable desserts! The staff are friendly and helpful! Definitely head this way if you want a quick spoiling for yourself and/or others!.

Stopped for a treat from this place in a long while. Wish they still made this particular pastry that was kinda like a garlic twist in shape and texture with a crunchy exterior and soft center, but it was an entirely dessert item made with dried cranberries and, if I recall, almond slices.

All the breads are cheap compared to other Asian bakeries nearby, but the fillings are unsatisfactory. The picture for the potato croquette showed a full filling but after one bite, I noticed how empty it was. Very disappointed by their advertisement. It was also salty probably since the potato filling was so little. Also had the match chocolate bread and it is also empty inside.

The line was super long today! 11:30pm there were only 2 workers, one at the bread register and one making drinks. The line was out the door! I waited in the bread line for about 10 mins before the line started getting long behind me. The drinks I ordered took another 15 minutes before I received them. They were put in a plastic bag so I didn't see them on the counter at first, I thought they were someone's bread, lol oops! I love their Boba milk tea because I'm lactose intolerant and all their drinks are lactose free made with SOY MILK!. Super awesome!

Their inability to implement enough staff to operate efficiently throughout the day shows in the quality of the drinks they "handcraft". Even with one of their most popular products such the Sea salt coffee, compared to other stores this one under delivers by a long shot. They frequently fail to pull a good shot of Espresso , under extracted ,no character or complexity, so bad to the point that water by itself might taste better. The sea salt cream is often missing sea salt flavor and to make things even worse they sometimes completely forget to pump sweetener in the drink itself. I hope management here gets a grip, pays attention and handles the many problems the quality of their products reflect.

Pastries usually taste good, but hoping the quality could be more consistent… Looks like someone forgot to put yeast in a batch of dough this morning

Went at 11am on Friday and crowded with about 10 people in front of me to pay. Nice selection of breads and dessert. If you want any special redemption, let them know in advance to scan the coupon, since they do not automatically take the special price though you'vescanned your membership.
