85C Bakery Cafe - Sherman Oaks — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I stopped by this 85C Bakery this morning to get my wife her jalapeno cheese bread. I been to this 85C Bakery before but haven't in a while because they open at the mall time and not earlier. So today, I just walked around the mall before they open since I came early. When they finally started opening the store, I was the first customer inside. I got my wife her jalapeno cheese bread because they will sell out quick since it's popular. This store isn't that big compared to the one in Northridge but it works for them. They have some seats inside the mall and also outdoor as well. The employees are nice and will answer any questions you have. After I got my wife her bread, I went to walk around the mall for a bit but then my uncle asked for a cheesecake so I came back to 85C. I didn't see any single slice of cheesecake so I got him the Macchiato Cream cake. He really liked this cake so it was a good choice so I never...

Their coffee can be amazing, bit it can also be alright. I can't say that the flavor is always consistent. What i can say is that it is definitely better than Starbucks. Their bakery is on an entirely different level though. I am begging you to be open minded and pick at least one bakery item and try it. You wo t regret it. If you are brave, I insist you try they egg tarts. I know... it sounds weird.. it could maybe even sound gross to you... but it's an ungodly experience in the best way. It isn't the best I've had (the best one was from an "underground" lowkey kitchen that sells egg tarts from the back door of a kitchen in San Francisco's China town) but these egg tarts are absolutely 2nd on my list. The egg mochi is amazing too. A little sweeter and gooey. Try the Vietnamese coffee or the 85 coffee. It can be a little too sweet so I usually add to extra shots...

I really love the aesthetic of 85 Degrees Bakery — the food looks so appealing and well presented. I’ve tried some of their sweets before and really enjoyed them. This time, I decided to try something different and got the ham and cheese bread at the Sherman Oaks location in the mall.

It was surprisingly good! The bread had ham and cheese inside, and on top, there was a sweet cream topping that I’m not exactly sure what it’s called, but it added a unique twist. You definitely taste the ham and cheese, but the sweet topping makes it an interesting mix — very different, but I liked it a lot.

The staff there are also super friendly, which makes it a perfect spot for dining in or grabbing an afternoon snack. I always like going back to try something new.

For this ham and cheese bread, I’d give it 4 out of 5 stars — the sweet topping is good but a bit unusual...
