85°C Bakery Cafe - Mira Mesa — Restaurant in San Diego

NOT A FAN 🤬. The second to last time I went there, which was before the pandemic, I bought their full sized mango cake. That was disappointing, the mango cream was too sweet and the cake you can taste as obviously dry, but it was a interesting experience picking up the bread like a buffet. I went to go pick up a full sized mother's day sweet strawberry cream yesterday. They didn't have option to order online, so I ordered the cake on the phone they didn't ask for my email to sent the receipt, they asked my phone number but still didn't send me the receipt. I wish they had a separate entrance or like a smaller line for those who ordered ahead but no everyone stood in the same line, of ten or more people, what is the point of me waiting again of I ordered ahead? When I got in The staff were pretty rude two people asked me If I had a receipt twice, even after I explained twice to each of them how I ordered a cake with them, paid for it on the phone, and they didn't send me a receipt. They had a really annoyed look on their face, I had a reservation that was 30 minutes away until I stood in a 20 minute line I asked them 'Hey, can you hurry up? I have a reservation in like 10 minutes", They finally dragged themselves into the back and indeed they found my cake with a paid sign on it, and they asked if it was my name, and it was. The end result I missed my lunch reservation and the restraunt was overbooked for the day. I had to find another restraunt which wasn't overbooked since every where we went yesterday all the restraunts were overbooked, when I got there I finally noticed, I asked the 85° Degrees Bakery people, to add in a extra white chocolate piece that says "Happy 18th mother's day" on top of the cake, instead they shoved it to the side on a plastic bag instead of putting it on the cake where it would be melted since it would shared the cake's coldness. So at the end of the day they made me pay $33 for a drier than hell cake, which was packed with over sweetness, and chocolate piece that was super closed to melting If I hadn't noticed. I literally threw up for twenty minutes after eating only two bites of the cake. Oh ya, the whipped cream? That tasted like blobs of air, no sweetness just white blobs of air. Anyways, I am seriously disappointed and you better believe I am not coming...

I was here on July 13, 2017 at around 13:30 after shopping nearby Target. My friends decided to order some bakery goods and 3 Large Ice Sea Salt Coffee. Several years ago, I would make trips up north to OC and LA. The Irvine location of 85C Bakery cafe was always the spot. It is nice that they finally brought it here to several locations in San Diego. I will be honest though that some of my friends stop going to road trip and up to Irvine because they decided to open up several locations in San Diego. Thanks globalization. For those of you who have never been to 85C bakery cafe, you come in, grab a tray, and start picking your bakery goods. They can be priced anywhere from $1.50 to $3 range. In terms of food taste, some of their bakeries are good, some are okay, and the rest are forgettable. They have good selection of drink. Drinks prices range from $3 to $5ish. Today, I chose the sea salt coffee. It was good, but I think a bit salty to me. I feel like the one at Irvine made it better. There was cream at that location when they first made it. Surprisingly, this kept me awake until 330 the next day though. The tart that I had was great. I do not know how to describe, but it was not bad, but good. The service is good. Workers yell out "fresh bread" every time a new set is cooked. When I went to pay, the cashier was polite and rang out order. The wait for the drink can be a little while, but it was busy. I say about a little more than 5 minutes. The store looks spacious, but it does not look like it has that many tables and chairs. Parking is easy to find. TL;DR: The sea salt coffee was good and the tart was great. However, I feel that the location at Irvine is better, both in foot traffic and the quality of the food. Still do come here to try it, but to me I will still make that drive to...

I’ve been visiting this 85c for years and we just went to order one Bday cake for my daughter. She loves one of the opera cake with snowman decoration on it so I went to order it. Normally when I purchase a whole cake the staff always brings freshly baked cakes from their kitchen but this time I wasthe only opera cake left was the one displayed in their counter. However, I have already seen about 6 cakes were almost ready in their kitchen (one girl was decorating the snowman and other stuff at that time) so I asked if I could just paid and picked up later.(the cashier told me those cakes need another 1 hour to be sold) So I just paid for it and when I was waiting I asked another staff if I could just picked up one cake since they were almost done(I saw three of them were completely done decorating) The other staff so brought me my cake and told me I need to wait another two hours to eat the cake. Ok I am not professional baker so I’m not sure why you need to wait another two hours to eat the cake, but based on my research opera cake is good to eat after the final layer of ganache. And when I was home the cake I got was not those ones done decorating, the cute snowman , which my daughter was most excited for, was not on the cake. I’m 100% sure some of the cakes are already done doctorated with the snowman. I’m not always give bad reviews actually this might be the time for me. Such a shame on these liars! So very...
