85C Bakery Cafe - Torrance in Torrance

Title: Declining Quality and Unpleasant Customer ServiceRating: ★★☆☆☆I have been a regular customer at 85 Degree Bakery for our breakfasts, but I am disappointed to say that the overall experience has been declining lately. This review is not meant to discourage others from visiting, but rather to express my concerns and hope for improvements.Lets start with the food. While the bakery used to offer delicious and freshly baked goods, the quality seems to have deteriorated over time. The once-fluffy pastries and breads now lack the same freshness and flavor that made them so appealing. Its disheartening to see a place that was once known for its exceptional baked goods fall short in this area.Furthermore, the coffee, which used to be a highlight of our visits, has also lost its charm. The flavor has become inconsistent, and the overall quality has noticeably declined. Its disappointing to receive a mediocre cup of coffee when we used to rely on 85 Degree Bakery for a satisfying start to our day.Another aspect that needs serious attention is the customer service. The staffs behavior has been quite disappointing, as their attitude towards customers can sometimes be outright rude. A welcoming and friendly atmosphere is essential for any establishment, and it is unfortunate that this crucial aspect seems to be neglected. Improved training and an emphasis on customer satisfaction would greatly benefit the overall experience.I sincerely hope that the management takes these concerns into consideration and works towards restoring the quality of their food and coffee. Additionally, addressing the issue of customer service should be a priority. 85 Degree Bakery has the potential to be a top-notch establishment once again, but it requires a concerted effort to regain its former glory.While I may not be returning as frequently until I see improvements, I encourage others to give it a try and make their own judgment. There are still some redeeming qualities, such as the cozy ambiance and a wide variety of baked goods to choose from. However, until significant changes are made, I cannot confidently recommend 85 Degree Bakery as a top choice for breakfast or coffee.

Those location is very clean and well run. They get very busy but the staff is very quick and efficient. There are a wide selection of breads and desserts. Becarful I have come across this problem a few times where the signs do not match the product. They have a beverage bar that handcrafts your beverages.

Asian inspired baked food reminds me of Japan. Good baked goods and good drinks. Little seating area to enjoy the food. Really the only thing which keeps this place from 5 stars… the staff needs to spend some time cleaning the seating area, not a pleasant experience when the tables are dirty and the garbage can which sits in view looks like something is growing on it. Just hope the kitchen where the baked goods are prepared is treated better

Cake are so delicious and don’t have a lot of sugar. I recommend mango creme brûlée and deluxe strawberry cakes.

Got my favorite coconut snow cube and drink here.Im on a mission to try every milk tea flavors! Today is Rose Milk tea

I know this bakery and coffee shop from Taiwan but never saw one of this size. They have an on-site bakery so you know everything is super fresh. Great wide selection of breads and savory breads and rolls along with cakes fresh juice and of course a variety of coffee and teas that can be added to with coffee jelly or boba etc. service is great and with on-site parking just outside this is super convenient. Can highly recommend

What a dessert bakery should be. Always has a good selection of goodies to eat. They have a standard set of baked breads and pastries along with the seasonal offerings. Hot and cold beverages are also available. This location is currently under construction but they are open.

Love this place. Haven’t been for years and happened to be in the area today, so popped in to get my favorite marble taro bread. Saw Hokkaido cheese tarts, so decided to try one—and it’s delicious!I noticed they have an app now, so maybe it could be useful in the future order ahead and skip the line?

First time here. Bought four different sweets. All of them tasted sugar free. Bland and definitely not worth the bad calories. The almond half moon was as dry as raw flour and very airy. If it werent for the little sugarless cream on it, I wouldve needed a glass of milk for each bite. I only needed a few sips. The slice of blue cream cake and slice of strawberry chocolate cake looked amazing but both were as equally disappointing as beautifully presented they were. The premium milk pastry had three tiny dollops of a hard cream inside of it. If they spread that cream throughout the entire pastry, it would be very good. The only taste it had WAS the cream. When I want cake and sweet pastry, I want SWEET. I felt like somewhere there was a sign that said baked goods for diabetics and I over looked it. I gave 3 stars for presentation. Looks so much more tastier than it is. It wasnt tasty at all. I will not be back to any 85C bakery. The grocery store bakery has tastier sweets than this place. Im convinced that anyone who thinks this place makes great tasting baked goods also loves salt free baked potato chips.(Sorry, I only took a photo of the sugar free cakes)

Coffee is good, but I decided to get a smoothy. Its by far not your natural fruit smoothing. It tast like cheesecake with liquid flavored (Strawberry). TASTE ARTIFICIAL
