85°C Bakery Cafe - Irvine Spectrum

If you are a fan of baked goods and pastries this is definately a place to try. I remember some years ago when 85degree first came into the market the long lines seemed endless and I never had the patience to wait in line. Boy was that a stupid decision. Tried it today and I will be back. The pastries are out for display and pick up all in bags and all look incredible. I have to admit I did not know what everything was but it all looked magnificent! I understand that everything is fresh and restocked through out the day. I did not seem to be outragously priced, although not cheap by any means. It is pick up what you want go to the counter and pay and pick up a beverage if you like. Frankly it was all a little confusing as the coffee offerings are not all that obvious. They do have a wide variety of beverages, including Boba. There is no or very little inside seating. The only utensiles are plastic forks. There are seats outside. I enjoyed the treat I got, look forward to the next visit, probably not at the Spectrum.

When I come to Irvine Spectrum, 85 Degrees is usually a place I'd visit for their refreshing drinks & yummy pastries. What I got ~ Peach Green Tea is really refreshing, definitely recommend and not overly sweeten. The green tea isn't too caffeinated. ~ Taro Lavender Latte drink is on the really sweeter side. Hardly taste lavender flavor. I would suggest getting it 75% or even 50% sweeten. unless you like your drink really sweet.

This bakery was busy and amazing. At least one hundred different fresh pastries and baked goods. Great coffee and staff was polite and service was solid We took a few boxes of pastries home for the kids. The store is well organized and clean. You can order at a kiosk or the counter. Coffee was served hot and delicious. Everything was ADA compliant.

The cake was really good, nowhere near the best I’ve had, but definitely good. We tried the deluxe strawberry cream cake and the macchiato cream cake. I felt the actual cake for both was a bit dry. I preferred the strawberry and vanilla cream fillings over the macchiato filling, but the filling for both cakes were terrific. They had a very smooth and creamy texture with just the right amount of sweetness. My daughter had a tea drink and thought it was very good. The employees made us feel a bit rushed, but they weren’t rude or anything. Overall, it’s a nice place to stop if you’ve got a sweet tooth. The Irvine Spectrum is clean mall with lots of nice shops.

85°C Bakery Cafe at the Irvine Spectrum Center is a fantastic spot for fresh and delicious baked goods. They offer a wide variety of options, including Hotdog & Cheese Buns, Almond Croissants, Toast, pastries, and beautiful birthday cakes with many flavors to choose from. Everything I’ve tried has been fresh and flavorful, and their Coffee is a stand The location is super convenient, right near the Apple Store, with plenty of parking available at the mall. They also have a lovely seating area with chairs, tables outside, where you can relax and enjoy the weather while savoring your coffee and pastry. It’s a casual spot perfect for dining in, taking a break from shopping, or grabbing a quick takeout. If you’re looking for a birthday cake, this is a great place—they’re fresh, and we’ve ordered a few for special occasions, all of which turned out amazing. The only downside is the customer service. The staff seemed a little unprepared and nervous, and I feel they could be more welcoming and friendly. Some additional training would help elevate the overall experience. In general, the quality of the food and the convenience of the location make this a great spot for casual dining or takeout. I’ll definitely be back!

A very solid Bakery that has SO many different kinds of baked goods and cakes, from savory to sweet. This place is always so busy with a line out the door. The baked goods are tasty and consistent and similar to Paris Baguette. We always get something here.

I initially avoided trying out this bakery because it always looked crowded from the outside and the idea of being squished into a small space did not seem appealing. But I decided to be brave and sacrifice my personal space because I really wanted to try the Strawberry De Leche drink which turned out delicious and worth it. This location can seem crowded but the line goes relatively fast. Decent selection of drinks and pastries and good prices.
