Review 85 Degrees Bakery Cafe - Chatswood

The customer service is dodgy here. I believe this cashier is the owner. I paid by card and he charge me a bank card surcharge. After I paid, then this dodge cashier asked me whether I want a plastic bag and it is 10cents. Yes from me, and then he charged me another card surcharge again, in addition to the 10c for plastic bag. No big money but I feel like I got scammed. I asked this doggy cashier, do you think this is right? He said thank you very much. That’s why it is one star.

They do free delivery for all cakes! Amazing service and delicious cakes, they even come with cutlery and candles. Delicious milk tea and soy bean drink too. Great value. Give them a go, you won't be disappointed!

Bought this from 85 Chatswood yesterday 1 Jan. I ate one yesterday and it tasted funny. Husband had one and he agreed it tasted funny. Then I turned the box around and saw these pancakes are covered with mold ...... seriously this is totally unacceptable. I will report this incident to healthy department.

Can always count on 85degrees Chatswood for their amazing looking and delicious cakes and breads. Great value and they always impress family and friends. Much better than Breadtop and other places. They also do delicious milk teas and have great deals like 2 teas for $7. Definitely recommend!

Open today on Xmas day! Had a great deal, $9.90 for a coffee/bbt/fruit tea + slice of cake. The staff were all really friendly :) they also accept liven!

Delicious and freshly made bread and pastries. Friendly and attentive service! We bought the evening special of 4 boxes yummy items for $10. Highly recommended!!

Really tasty, one of the best asian styled bakeries in town. Owners are really nice too, lovely people.

Awful experience! Ordered through menulog because it’s a lockdown and the Black Forest cake that I ordered tasted awful! It has ice crystals in the jam layers between the sponge cake indicating that the cake was frozen. Tasted stale 😕 Not ordering from here again!

Excellent UK style cheese cake. The sweetness is not over-powering. Cheese is soft, a bit fluffy. The tangy taste really stimulates the palate. The base is important albeit being only a small part of the cake. Usually bakeries ruin this part by producing a really hard and brittle base that tastes like nothing but sugar. This cake had moist and soft base that breaks like soft baked cookies. A price of $6.5 puts it at the more expensive side for mini cakes from 85 degrees but I think it is well worth the money. Great for sharing too due to the larger than average portion. Xihuahua 🐶 must try this some time.

Huge variety of bread, sweets, slices, cakes, pastries and drinks. I bought five different breads. Firstly a sugar donut which was delicious and light. Along with a shallot bread, a sweet milky bun, Japanese bread and a garlic one. All soft and fresh.

Worst business ethics you can ever encountered. They do not do business with people who do not have Cash, I tried to pay by card, I even offered them to put extra charge on top because I am paying by card and got rejected. The Chinese lady who work there was so rude , just keep saying no, no, no...

Makes the best taro pearl milk tea in Chatswood! Not overpriced or oversweetened. Excellent pearl to milk ratio; they make it in front of you and the bread selection offered at 85° is excellent too. I greatly enjoy the pork floss buns and treat myself occasionally to one.

Been here on multiple occasions and the bread never ever disappoints!! The taro wholemeal and the okonomiyaki are shown in the photos, but they have many other good choices as well!

Popular Taiwanese bakery chain. I normally go to BreadTop few shops down, I found that the varieties at 85C looks nice, but taste a bit plain, flavours (sweet or savoury) are both not as distinct. This time I got the Squid ink pork floss bun & the Choc Snow Milky. Love the pork floss, very moorish. The choc bun was not that chocolaty, it's really a plain bun with choc powder & icing dusting on top and a scoop of light choc cream inside, taste ok, but won't get it again.

Been a regular here since they open years ago, surprised myself that i havent written anything. We must have tried almost everything (bread) they have though they do change from time to time. Personally i have no fav. Everything (bread) here agrees with me but i avoid anything red bean. Not because they are bad, only because i never liked em.

One of the better quality bread shops around offering plenty of assorted goods and cheap pricing.<br/><br/>Baked fresh daily with self service being the norm and a smile upon checkout always on offer

I was very disappointed when Breadtop stopped making my favourite pork floss roll, but was only too happy to find them in 85 Degrees.  The first time I tried this chain bakery was actually when I was in China.  The outlets in China are quite different from here with more beverage options and more eat-in space, it serves almost like an equivalent of a coffee shop.   The taste of the pork floss roll was very similar to Breadtop if not better. <br/><br/>I also found another one of my favourite -tiger roll.  It is actually mixed with taro filling, I can't wait to go back and try that.

Unlike the Breadtop a couple of doors up, 85 Degrees was still trading at 7pm on a Saturday, and seemed to be doing quite a brisk business. A staff member was out front selling moon cakes, lending the illusion of a somewhat festive atmosphere.<br/><br/>There was a good selection of well stocked displays, with everything looking fresh and rather delicious. Also, all quite reasonably priced. A couple of buns were purchased and were fluffy.

The cakes in 85 degrees bakery definitely stands out, their cakes are super cute, flamboyant, and over the top; pretty much like the ones you see in animes. <br/>Taste wise: their cakes are basic, very soft, and not too sweet.

pretty decent bakery and relatively on the cheaper side too which is great. always go here or breadtop, (both similar imo, not much of a differential).  favourite is the 3 sisters (taro, something and something, dont know the english names :D )

This place has a wide range of bread as well as heaps of cakes and drink. My favourite is their creme brûlée and their papaya milkshake. It's not a good maths together but separately I love them.

I love this place for the cake and drinks especially when there is a afternoon tea deal. I think the cakes are quite nice and with great varieties.<br/><br/>Service: 6/10<br/>Food (Cake only): 8/10<br/>Value for money (for afternoon tea deal): 8/10

A Japanese bakery with a lip smacking range of breads, buns, cakes etc. Bakeries like this should have a sign outside - not to be entered without adult supervision… Not being protected from myself, as usual with these places I emerged with two different types of bread (walnut and raisin wholegrain, and an out there pinky raspberry bread), taro mochi and the signature brown sugar cake made with Okinawa brown sugar. Google tells me that Okinawa brown sugar is famous in Japan for its deep rich flavour due to the sugar cane being grown in coral enriched fields beside the sea, and is used in treatment for anaemia. Works for me. We are still eating our way through the goodies but the walnut and raisin bread has been a promising start.

Love this place. They do the best buns! My favourite is the red bean. They call it red bean but it actually has cream cheese in it and it's heavenly. Takes that red bean to the next level. Not to mention the uber soft bun itself. Another favourite is the chocolate bun. Sooooo good. Not as airy soft as the ones they sell in Asia but still pretty darn good. It's soft and chocolatey, without being overly sweet. Love it.

It just a brilliant bakery. Their cakes, Tiramisu, Hokkaido and breads are just blussfull. My regular place when I am craving for a sone sinfull cake or Tiramisu. Highly recommend.

It's hard to walk past here without stopping to stare and drool over the mouth watering pastries and cakes. All of which taste as good as they look. The only thing that lets them down is their staff who can be vague, inattentive and don't seem to understand what you are after a lot of the time, but there is quite a lot of that in Chatswood to be honest

You may wonder why this bakery is so popular? I think fancy presentations of their cakes and breads are a major drawing card. All are relative inexpensive. You can get a cake roll for $3.60. They

Taro Paradise - neutral: in essence we have a tradition Asian Cream cake without the fruit, lightly infused and coloured in the expected manner of any Taro offering. Without a strong Taro taste, this might turn away those who expect more.

... Since it was already 7pm on a Tuesday night when we went and we were the only customers inside the store, it was slightly off-putting with the amount of effort we needed to put in to grab the attention of the staff who were chatting to each other. However once their attention is gained, the staff were very helpful and recommended that we go for the mango cheese which was a yogurt based cheese cake with mango fruit on top. 

Once you see the window here it instantly draws you closer - peering inside at the tasty treats. They look amazing. There's some basic seating outside on the footpath - which could perhaps be prettied up a bit - but its the desserts that get you here anyway.

This is the WORSE bakery store in Chatswood!! I bought a dozen pieces of bread from this place and they ripped me off by giving me only 10 pieces. When I realised and went back to tell them that they didnt give me what I paid for they replied by saying I can not prove I paid for 12 pieces. When I asked why they didnt give a receipt they said they never give customers receipts. There you go... this shop rip customers off, has the worst customer's service. I am never going back again!!!

If I were the boss of Chatswood, you are fired Christine!. I walked into your Chatswood branch this afternoon, intending to buy a Black Forest cake. Got really angry with the staff's poor services, bad manners to customer. I paid for the cake, stepped out of the shop but returned it and demanded for refund as I am really pissed off with the overall services. Three staffs were there chit-chatting and ignoring customer. When I waved at them and asked them the 3rd time, they yelled at me, what is the number of the cake you wanted? Go and have a look yourself! Excuse me, I have never seen such a poor mannerism in the cake shop EVER! Talk to one of your staffs called Christine, she says she is the supervisor in Chatswood branch. Stuff HER she got me really pissed off with the overall services. I will NEVER walk into the cake shop ever again. A beautiful face such as Christine with the poorest manner I have never seen, your business is going to doom! Guess what will I tell all my friends?? Good Luck!

Never never ever buy whole cakes from this place.their cakes all look Fabulous but But they Frozen those cakes and refroze them before they sell it. I spent 80 dollars for 2 cakes n they all taste like plastics !!!! Never go n buy cake from them again, they were not made fresh. !!!!

Hokkaido Cheese. I normally don't like white chocolate but this one is different. Tastes like cheese cake, but soft, with some white chocolate sprinkles. Yum.
