(CLAIR | Simi Valley, CA) — If you think you know bakeries, think again. Simi Valley’s 85°C Bakery Cafe is not your typical coffee-and-croissant joint. This Taiwanese bakery chain—famed for its unique flavors and endless selection of treats—officially opened its doors in Simi Valley exactly one year ago. Located at 3013 Cochran St., this bakery packs more deliciousness per square inch than most people in Simi Valley might imagine.
The first thing to know about 85°C Bakery is that the name comes from the “perfect” brewing temperature for espresso—85 degrees Celsius—but this bakery is far from just a coffee shop. Once you step inside, you’re greeted with rows of fresh, colorful pastries that will have your head spinning, as you dart glances in every direction with so much to see. We’re talking over 60 types of breads and cakes, from fluffy mousse cakes to decadent cheesecakes to delicate tiramisus. And then there are the buns—dozens of sweet, soft buns with fillings that range from red bean to taro to mango custard. Never tried a milk tea bun? Well, here’s your chance.
And it doesn’t stop there. Want something savory? Try the bacon and cheese bun, a customer favorite packed with crispy bacon, asiago cheese, and just the right sprinkle of parsley. Or go for an egg tart, or a potato croquette if you’re in the mood for something hearty.
The real star of the show? Their sea salt latte. It’s the drink people can’t stop talking about—espresso topped with a whipped sea salt cream that’s just sweet and salty enough to leave you wondering why all coffee doesn’t taste this good. One regular customer even joked, “I had my first sea salt drink here and I’m forever changed!”
This isn’t just a bakery—it’s an experience. For locals used to traditional pastries and cookies, 85°C Bakery Cafe is like stepping into a whole new world. From the matcha red bean roll cake to their seasonal treats like the adorable pumpkin-shaped breads bursting with spiced pumpkin puree, there’s always something new and surprising to try. Whether you’re a fan of Asian-inspired treats or just looking for something different, you’ll be spoiled for choice.
With over 1,000 locations worldwide and its wonderful new home in Simi Valley, 85°C Bakery Cafe has become a global sensation for a reason. For those in Simi, it’s a must-visit if you’re craving something extraordinary. But don’t be surprised if you find yourself coming back again and again. As one customer put it, “It’s simple, delicious, and totally unlike anything else around here.”
