85°C Bakery Cafe-Kapolei

Last year, I was visiting family in SSF. Almost every morning, my sister and I went to different cafes near her home and one of them was an 85 degrees. I feasted so proud to see on the board, "Opening Soon" and Kapolei was listed. Told my sister, "I told you!" Although I was sad to see Pizza Hut gutted, next door to Taco Bell, as it was one of the very few restaurants open when Kapolei first started building homes in the area over 25-years ago. I was ecstatic that 85 degrees is in my neighborhood. Being from HI and growing up with Shirokiya, an Asian bakery isn't new to me, or us. So when I worked in Irvine, Ca where the original location is located, I couldn't understand why it was so busy every single day from morning to evening. But I'm super happy that I don't have to go to Ala Moana or Pearlridge to get my buttery bread and slated iced drink. I'm happy to stand in line and support this business. Plus, if you download the app, you can get free drinks. Compared to the other mainland locations, this one is small. At least they do have 3 tables in the back but they are always full. The original location, at the time, has no tables. Prices are great. I love the easy flow of selecting breads or pastries. I'm t reminds me of standing in line at Sephora and buying all the trial-size products. I do like the the slatted dark wood that makes it feel like an Asian restaurant . And although busy, service is fast and and friendly. Last year, I picked up lunch and brought back a few items to the office to share. My coworkers had no idea what an 85 degrees was or where it was at. But now they're there almost every weekend.

Nice, pretty Asian style bakery where a lot of pastries are wrapped in a plastic bag or box for you to choose from off the shelf.My daughter in-law ordered a drink and that was made and came out pretty quickly.We also bought tiramisu that we had for dessert later. It was really good and not overly sweet.You could probably get 5x more for $5 more at Costco but we really don't need to eat that much. lol. It's worth it on occasion.

Don't go here if you're hungry, because you're just going to want to buy everything. Lol. The staff is very friendly. Every time I go, it's not busy, always have a good selection of items stocked. To be honest, it's a bit pricy or maybe I'm just getting too much items. Most items ranges between $3 - $5 or more depending on which you're getting. My favorite is the mini lemon cake. It's basically a sponge cake texture with lemon flavor. And the lemon taste like real lemon and not artificial.

Great bakery shop to get your sweet tooth satisfied!! Actually they have a variety of sweet treats and savory items, also offer refreshing drinks as well! Price is not bad, definitely worth it! Not sure what the name was of this item but it was the bomb.com!! I love chocolate and this chocolate bun with chocolate filling definitely hit the spot!! 10/10 recommend!!

I am grateful that 85 degree bakery made it here to Hawaii. I used to enjoy going to their location in Irvine when I was in college. My favorite item to get is the milk pudding bun. It's not too sweet and it is so delicious. This time I got the ham & cheese bread along with that. I found the ham & cheese bread to be mostly bread. I also got the taro lavender latte. Next time I would request to adjust the sweetness because i couldn't really taste the lavender much. The place itself was very clean and service was during upon my visit.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this bakery in the middle of my last minute hunt for a birthday cake! I naively thought that placing an order a week in advance would be more than enough time to get a cake for my daughter's birthday dinner -- boy, was I wrong! After several calls to other bakeries (one even said they were fully booked until January!), I was on the verge of settling for something from Zippy's when I found 85c Bakery Cafe.The staff were super helpful throughout the ordering process, tho it did take me three phone calls to finalize my choice. A couple of the cakes I had originally seen on Yelp and their website were unavailable--either sold out or seasonal--so I had to adjust my selections. Finally, I settled on their Macchiato Cream Cake, priced at $48. My daughter is a huge coffee lover, so I figured it would be a great option given that my first picks were unavailable. Plus, the cake looked beautiful!Preordering the cake was simple and hassle-free. I just gave them my name, pickup date, and confirmed that I'd pay in store. I also asked if they could personalize the cake, and while they don't do custom writing, they did provide a "Happy Birthday!" plaque and candles, which I thought was a nice touch.As for the cake itself, the flavor was decent, tho not something I'd order again. It wasn't my first choice after all, so maybe that played a part in my expectations. That said, the cake box was sturdy and great for transport, and they even included a complimentary pie/cake server, which I really appreciated.When I went to pick it up, I couldn't help but notice the rest of their baked goods--they looked absolutely delicious! I'll definitely be back to try more of their offerings in the future. The place appeared very clean and organized and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Thanks guys! :)

We came around 4pm so almost everything was sold out, as expected. I did enjoy the cheesebread though! Cookie was good but there's better ones out there. I had it with some ice cream at home. Ordered the matcha strawberry drink. It was very yummy, along with the mango smoothie. Those two drinks earned the 5 star rating out of me. Will be back, and hopefully earlier so we can actually try things.

Ordered a drink with no ice told cashier it didn't have to be full since the ice normally takes space and she made it with ice instead of making it over threw the ice out and diluted it with water cashier was amazing barista not so much

My daughter and I wanted to check out this location. There's one in San Diego and was excited to see this one here. They had limited pastries because they sell out quickly. My daughter and I grabbed a bunch of good flavored pastries. Prices were fair..I decided to get a mango smoothie. That was a separate line to wait in after you paid for your pastries and drinks. I had to wait for my drink. The mango smoothie was delicious. A tad sweet but good. Refreshing on a hot day. The inside was clean and pastries were easy to find. Drink menu had milk teas, smoothies, etc. Not bad. Plenty of parking up front. I would definitely come back for more.

New Asian bakery in Kapolei-- one of those spots that you gotta go early if you want the full selection of baked goods. I came in around 2-3pm --- so most of the stuff was cleared out already. I picked up a basque cheesecake, matcha and cream pastry, and sausage bread. Surprisingly, the one I thought I'd like the most, the matcha cream bread, fell short for me. The sausage bread surprised me in the best way, can't believe that they didn't all get swooped up in the morning! Saved the basque cheesecake for later when we got home -- some folks hate the burnt taste but I like the slight bitterness that gives to offset the sweet. It's super new, clean, and bright. It's mostly self-service but you can also order drinks like coffee, matcha, and tea. Their cake selection here is awesome too -- think light and airy with cream and fruit! If you're already on the west side, this bakery is a great spot to pick up some asian pastries!
