85c Bakery Cafe - San Francisco

Edit after store responseThank you for offering for remaking th tea. However I have already left the mall and is from out of town. If ever visit again, will definitely try it while in store. I love bread! Esp pineapple buns... delicious!!!!!Since it's a taiwanese staple aka the pineapple buns as well as bubble tea.. my trip would not have been complete is I didn't have the tea too.Fast service, tea and puddling or great.. however the tapioca is on the soft side.. not Q at all.Forget to call them and let them know... So here I am.I truly hope they try their tapioca for each batch. I have had bubble tea at a breakfast sandwhich place at Palo Alto and the bubble is better ...

When I'm not in Asia, 85 gives me a little taste of home. Easy process, tasty treats, and good portion sizes to share with the family. A little bit pricy, but their Stones location is super convenient so it's worth the price. I love the milk bun (microwave for ooey gooey goodness and the ube bun (really generous filling! . Glad they have a location on this side of town!

Food: great bread and drinks. It doesn't matter what you order, it's all sugar bread. Drinks are good too.Service: average. There is a kiosk (a few ladies stared at the kiosk trying to figure out what they wanted, they were there forever).Ambiance: music is too loud, employees have to scream.

It's definitely on the smaller side, but if I'm in the area then I usually stop by to see if anything looks good. You grab your tray and pick up what you want. Everything is individually wrapped. The lines can get long, but they move relatively quick. Remember to bring your own bag! Pros- some unique items you don't typically see elsewhere- good pricing- some items are great, but it takes trial and error to find the ones you like- i like the drinks, especially the cheese salt ones, classic! Cons- the cream filled buns are never cream filled. The pictures are 100% misleading- the cakes are cute, but the flavors are unbalanced and doesn't taste fresh the times I bought them- a lot of the buns look like they could have been baked a little longer, sometimes I worry about food safety in that regard

Excellent pastries and tea. Highly recommend the Caramel Milk tea. Staff friendly.
