My family were visiting San Diego and accidentally we found this spot. So glad we did! This place is so beautiful! The baked goods are wonderful. Use the puff of milk butter! It's getting addictive! Lovely spot, plenty of options and nice workers. Thanks for the great experience.

It's delicious bread, so I buy it from time to time. The bread is individually packed in a plastic bag, but it is not sealed, so when I picked it up, the bread slipped out from the other side and fell to the floor. I apologized to the store clerk and bought a new one. The store clerk treated me very kindly. If you put the bread in the opposite direction (open side in front of you), I don't think it will slip off.

Went on a Saturday, but we were in and out pretty quickly. There are so many tasty treats baked fresh on-site, and it's very affordable!

Despite the fact that one of the servers was incredibly mean and rude, I am giving five stars. The food is amazing, quantity and quality and price . Also the hot milk tea was delicious

I ordered 4 cakes from here at the beginning of July for a family gathering on 7/9. Unfortunately, I became unable to attend myself, but everyone was so impressed with the beautiful and delicious cakes my husband picked up. Fortunately, our family was able send us the leftovers after the gathering. We enjoyed trying the Coffee Brulee, Deluxe Chocolate Mousse, Deluxe Strawberry Cream, and Mango Brulee cakes. Everything was delicious. Only two small things marred the experience: I had ordered the patriotic version of the strawberry cake, but I just got the standard version. (They were the same price.) Probably the website should have been modified not to allow customers to order that cake for pick up after the 4th. Also, the Coffee Brulee cake was a little dry, especially compared the the moist fluffiness of the other cakes, but it was still delicious.

We've made it a tradition to stock up on pastries here every week. Both sweet and savory pastries here are really good. They also have cakes and boba/smoothie drinks. Love the mango strawberry smoothie here.

Today's experience was very disappointing only to noticed that almost every shelf of "fresh bakery" was bare and this was only at 5:00 pm. The store doesn't close until 8:30 p.m according to the store hours. I've observed other customers like myself walked out the door due to unavailablility of products - the photos will tell all. The sign says "85' Bakery" not a coffee shop. Question for management: Why is it so difficult to keep your shelves full when it's 3 1/2 hours before closing?

My friend who is Chinese brought me here and it was awesome! I ordered a passion fruit tea with bubbles and a few pastries. They have a big selection of pastries and other sweets. Everything looked so delicious and it was hard to decide what to get. We ordered a sweet cheese mini pie, pastry bun with red bean inside of it, another bun with a sweet custard.
Unfortunately I can’t tell you what any of these were called but I will say they were so delicious. I wish we had one of these on the East Coast! The passion fruit tea was refreshing and I should of ordered a large!! I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting California to find one of these bakeries and have a few pastries!!
