85°C Bakery Cafe - San Jose

I’m really a big fan of 85C bakery cafe especially their cakes but gotta be honest. Recently bought a 8” ube cream cake for birthday it didn’t quite hit the mark for us the taste was kinda blend, and we really hoping for that burst of ube flavor and even the cream didn’t quite hit the spot for us too it felt like it was missing something. We end up only ate half of it kinda disappointed.

Finally tried their milk tea. For a large size boba milk tea at $5, you'll get a half cup of ice even though you specified ice level at 25% and they were aware with "light ice" printed on label. Yet they don't honor your request on customization and it's less-valued. 25% means a quarter of ice not half cup ice, that'd be 50% ice right? They either don't know math or cheapen the quality because of the promotion with $1 cake going on in this particular month. Also the balance between milk and tea was off and watered-down. If quality is dwindled, why will I come back even if it comes with a piece of discounted cake, which BTW tasted average. Can't recommend their sub-par milk tea products to anyone.

Gets busy at times, but the line moves fast

I enjoy the great pastry, fresh, always amazing and great service. Fantastic treats!

Good variety. Convenient location.

Everything is so light and fluffy. Very decadent but affordable
