85°C Bakery Cafe - Stockton — Restaurant in Stockton

My wife and I have been driving past this establishment since it opened. We seen the long lines and wondered how good the pastries must be. So, we decided when she had a week off from teaching school we would go check it out.

What a disappointment.

There weren’t many customers in the store when we went, yet the first dozen or so display cases were empty. Those display cases also were not marked with the names of the products or price, which is beyond annoying. You’re basically guessing at what you’re getting and how much you’re going to pay.

The only thing that was available for sale in cases were cookies. So, we chose a chocolate chip cookie, I think, again cases not marked so who knows what it was, I’m guessing.

As we put the cookie on our tray, they finally came out from the back with a tray of pastries. It was some type of breading with cream. We snatched one up quickly as other customers noticed what had come out and were making their way towards it.

We finally got in line with only two items. My wife saw they had a chocolate mousse cake in the display case by the register. By the way, these are the only items that are labeled and priced. By the time it was our turn to pay, the cakes were gone. We opted for a chocolate hazelnut cake.

When we finally got to the register the lady asked where our tongues were that we used to pick our pastries. We said we put them over in the area where they had the tongues hanging just before the line began. This is where the cashier copped an attitude, stating we are suppose to bring those up whenever we come to make our purchases.

How are we suppose to know? This is our first time here, and I didn’t see any sign stating this. The only sign about the tongues is telling the customers to use them to pick the pastries.

Either way we paid, and left. It was cheap. We got home tried out the cookie, the pastry, and the cake. The cake was dry and had no real taste. The cookie was rock hard. And the pastry was only mildly edible.

All and all I say don’t bother. Their selection is limited. Food is mediocre. And customer service needs...

11.20.19: came in for the new thai tea. It was very light as there seems to be a lot of milk. Very sweet as well. Also got the souffle cheesecake for $4 from the 85C app.

First one opened in Stockton. No longer need to drive 45 minutes for some yummy bakery. Second day of grand opening, so our wait was about 30 minutes. Received a free tote at the door and a free mug after spending $20. Go to bakery item is the garlic cheese, marble taro bun and espresso bun. They have new batches of bakery come out often, so they're fresh. Love the marble taro smoothie. My new favorite is the 85° iced coffee. It has a strong bitter taste with a hint of sweetness that I like. The caramel coffee smoothie was good as well. The cakes look so pretty and delicious, so that's something I'm definitely going to try. Signed up for the 85° rewards to build up degree points. Staff was friendly and there was a long wait for drinks, but they made sure we knew that our order was in the process and thanked us for...

I had heard about this place and how good it was from coworkers, so I decided to give it a try. Went in today, and they had a lot of different pastries. Once my family and I got to the front area with the cakes, I overheard an Asian male and a female laughing and heard the male ask her if she spoke Spanish. I knew they were laughing at the fact that I was speaking Spanish to my mom, but to their surprise, I spoke both languages. Once ready to pay, both of them kept giggling while looking at us, and the female ended up not wanting to help us with the transaction, so the Asian male ended up finishing our order. To me, that was not professional, and it could've been a better experience if that had not happened. Never assume anything in regards to people by how they look. Hope they decide to better themselves in that aspect and hope no one else gets a rude comment from them. As for the pastries, I would rather buy from Safeway as they don't seem nor taste anything...
