The pastry is awesome, good priced and fresh. Their salted coffee is also amazing. I believe this place deserve a higher average rating as well. There are eat in area and probably more used by folks working nearby, but still there's places to sit, the place is clean and even they have a lot of orders to process, I didn't have to wait long for my coffee.

What is Worth Choosing at 85°C Bakery Cafe?
For first-time visitors or seasoned regulars in the Washington area, a few items stand out as "must-try" choices that encapsulate the spirit of 85°C Bakery Cafe.
Undeniably, the most recommended item is the Sea Salt Coffee. This drink is a true experience, marrying a rich espresso with the creamy, savory-sweet salted topping that customers rave about. It’s a signature product that you simply cannot find elsewhere with the same level of quality.
In the bakery section, it is highly advisable to sample both a sweet and a savory top seller. For the savory side, the Garlic Cheese bread or the Cheese Dog offers a fluffy, umami-rich snack perfect for a quick lunch. On the sweet side, the Marble Taro bread is a delightful Asian-fusion treat, and the Milk Pudding provides a traditional, soft sweetness. Another fan favorite is the Y Choco Bun, which one local customer specifically highlighted.
Finally, for those planning an event or celebration in the King County area, choosing a full 8" CAKE like the Deluxe Strawberry Cream or the unique Tiramisu Cheesecake is highly recommended. These cakes offer an incredibly light yet satisfying sweetness, perfect for a gathering. Given the quality, variety, and the affordable pricing structure that the brand is known for, a box of pastries from 85°C Bakery Cafe is a choice that consistently delivers a delightful and memorable experience.

Love the different choices of pastries. My favorites are the choco bun and the lemon cakes. The thai tea is also sweet!
Jul 11 · HadiyahLove it! My daughter and I walked here from inside the mall while my son and wife got shoes. It’s a bit of a walk through the grocery store but worth it! There are dozens of pastry options: buns, croissants, biscotti, sweet and savory alike. We enjoyed the chocolate and cream filled buns the most. We also got a Vietnamese coffee and milk tea, both delicious! Highly recommend popping in if you’re in the area.
Feb 27 · Matthew GravelynThe pastries and cakes here are so good!! I always love getting their chocolate croissant! It had chocolate chunks in it, and it just tasted so buttery and fresh! My sister likes their strawberry mango smoothie, but this time I was craving chocolate, so I got the sea salt chocolate drink with no sea salt because I preferred it sweet. It tasted good!Last but not least, we preordered the taro and mango cakes for Mother’s Day and they tasted really good! They were really light and just right with their sweetness. We all liked the mango cake better.
Jul 8 · Charise MillsI’ve never been into an 85 degree Bakery Cafe and let’s tell you it changed my life. I went everyday during my vacation and sometimes even twice a day.The vietnamese coffee changed me into a whole different person and would 10/10 recommend!!I will say i’ve tried like 10 different bakery items and they were all so delicious and made perfectly!
