Since 85\u00b0C Bakery Cafe<\/a><\/strong> opened in San Leandro Plaza, I’ve been a devotee. This Taiwanese bakery chain has over a thousand locations worldwide, with 75 of them in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Texas. I’m sure they’ll continue expanding. They offer Chinese inspired pastries with global flavors. The pastries tend to be light and airy with cream fillings, and they usually range from good to delicious. This will be an ongoing review, where I add new pastries as I try them, for my own future reference of what I liked a lot and what I liked less. As we shouldn’t be eating too many carbs, we only get pastries from 85\u00b0C Bakery for special occasions – but that makes it even more important that we choose the right ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 85\u00b0C also serves drinks, from flavored coffee and tea drinks to smoothies, slushies and boba (if you always wanted to try a boba latter, this is the place to have one), but I have yet to have one there. Next time. They do have tables to eat inside (but no outdoor sitting), but due to the pandemic we’re avoiding all indoor dining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our last visit to 85\u00b0C Bakery was on the fourth day of my Birthday Week Extravaganza (TM)<\/a>. I had told my daughter how I preferred the pastries from 85\u00b0C Bakery to those we’d had the day from As Kneaded Bakery, and she wanted to try them. I sent Mike to get them – but I had mistakenly texted the list of what we wanted to a friend – so Mike got to chose what he brought home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 85\u00b0C Bakery has a huge variety of pastries, cakes and other desserts. Many are serve yourself, but more delicate ones – or ones needing refrigeration – are behind the counter. Pastries are individually wrapped, which is not environmentally friendly but it’s safer from a food handling perspective. While they concentrate on sweet pastries, they also offer some savory ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a light bun with impossible ground “beef” saut\u00e9ed with peppers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a light bun filled with ham and American cheese. It’s quite tasty, and I liked it as much as the ham & cheese croissants I get at Main Street Bagel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This bun is filled with a very light white chocolate and strawberry custard. It’s a tad too sweet for my taste, and maybe not one of my favorites, but it’s quite good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n This bun is filled with a creamy mango custard. It’s quite tasty and light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nice and affordable Chinese pastries. Updated October 2024 Since 85\u00b0C Bakery Cafe opened in San Leandro Plaza, I’ve been a devotee.
