85°C Bakery Cafe - Downtown Los Angeles

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 🍰🍰

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

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.

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.

THE VALUE FOR THE PRICE IS absolutely amazing.

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!

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

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!

Delicious coffee drink , lots of Japanese inspired pastries and bakery items

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. I've 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!)

It's a proper bakery with breads, cakes and pastries made daily. The coffee doesn't rank tho. But the one-serve slices and tarts are priced better than Starbucks.

Amazing selection of yummy pastries. The lemon cupcakes were so light and fluffy they felt like air. I wished I lived closer so I could eat here regularly!

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.

Yummy dessert!!!! So worth the money!! Price is reasonable too. The price at NYC is so much more expensive. Love it!!!!

This place was well organized and very clean professional polite knowledgeable of products and services overall great experience for me.

Got an amazing last minute cake from this location, definitely better than I expected.

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!

Update Nov 9 2022:

This location has improved substantially since this review was posted. Service is as good as ever and faster and there are more pastries.

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.

Bombbbbb fresh deserts and amazing breads too!! You'll be addicted after your first bite. When I make pasta, I always grab their fresh garlic bread, bomb AF!!

I really enjoyed some of the sweet cake bread from Taiwan.
