85°C Bakery Cafe - Irvine Spectrum

Barely any indoor seating unlike other 85 degrees I've been too, but otherwise a good location for ordering

I love coming in here when I go to the spectrum. Always get my iced coffees here and sometimes a treat!

If you, like me, order a hot chocolate for your child with a little bit of sugar, I recommend checking it immediately. In my case, there was a lot of sugar added; it seems they missed that request, even though the receipt indicates the order was taken correctly.

How is management going to cheap out on staffing on a Friday, at a busy mall, and it's Valentine's Day?! Only 1 cashier for a 30 minute line to buy bread or cake wtf.

On 03/06/25 my daughter and I went to 85 degrees in Irvine Spectrum and We were treated really bad by this young Asian racist girl. She was very rude, unfriendly and inpatient with us. I felt she is treating me and my daughter nasty because we are not Asian neither blonde. Overall, I am very disappointed. I used to go to this coffee shop every week and spend $40 or more. I’m not going to this place ever again. They lost business with us.

Compared to other locations, this one doesn’t seem to match up to the standard. After a few trips, I don’t seem to find what I want and the setup is poorly designed. In order to get anything from the bakery, you have to stand in line and wait to get anything from the shelves while waiting to get checked out. Inconvenient if you only wanted one thing or something from the cooler. If you order drinks, there is a small waiting area that fills up quickly when they have more than 5 drink orders to fulfill. Takes a while too. I prefer going to their original location since it’s bigger, more selections, and easier to get in and out.

Always jam-packed. It's not as good as Paris Baguette or Tour Les Jour but a great entry point to Asian fusion bakery with a friendlier price tag. The other 2 price points do not make any sense, especially after Covid..

Running out of product near end of night on a Wednesday. Tiramisu cake was delicious.

5 star treats but please add another cashier or self checkout option for non-special orders.

I come to the Spectrum once a month, get in line here, wait 10 minutes then leave having moved like 2 feet in line. I just want a couple red bean and choco buns but don’t want to wait half an hour.

There are usually 2-4 staff making drinks and 1-2 checking people out. Checking out is a major bottleneck and they lose ~$15/mo from me because of this. It’s always busy, so they probably don’t care, but today I’ve seen at least 3 others leave the line so owners are leaving money on the table.

I was really disappointed with the atmosphere and service. When I asked Breana (a blonde girl wearing a black hat) how long my drink would take, she responded dismissively, saying, "It’s going to take a while." So I decided to order some food while keeping an eye out for my order. Eventually, I noticed my drink sitting on the counter for sometime but instead of letting me know, she said nothing and tried avoiding me for some reason so I decided to ask her why she didn’t inform me, she rudely replied, “I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”

This lack of communication and dismissive attitude made the experience frustrating. It would help to have a better system, like a screen for tracking orders, and staff who are more attentive and professional keeping their problems at home before
coming work.

A word of advice: consider hiring staff who truly understand the importance of customer service

And Kelly, telling you about this issue face to face was useless.

Have nothing other than a small hot coffee but will sell me a large iced coffee. Full of ice!
Got a ham and cheese sandwich and refuse to warm it up! But have no problem warming up other sandwiches!

Horrible experience! Don’t buy into the hype! Terrible

Perfect place for a bakery but always understaffed, lines are out of the store and waiting time at least 20 mins

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!
