85°c Bakery Cafe Edmonds

I only went once because this place could be addicting

I've heard of the place, and wanted to visit. So when I saw one nearby I decided to drop in. The baked goods were delicious, but a little soft for my taste. I asked about their espresso, and the person taking my order (very friendly and helpful, BTW) was a bit confused, and asked if I just wanted a shot of espresso. She told me they could do just a shot if I wanted and I asked if it was any good. She started answering and I rationalized that since it's not on the menu, it's probably not good. Places that make good espresso won't hide it. I opted to get the oolong milk tea (hot) because it sounded good. It wasn't. The aroma and flavor were very reminiscent of boiled seaweed. I've never encountered that before, so I googled it to see if it was maybe something expected, but all signs point to that being a sign of extremely poorly made tea. I couldn't even bring myself to drink it. I ended up pouring it out in the parking lot. I recommend not getting any of their hot drinks, based on my experience.

Really good pastries and baked goods...reasonably priced!

First visit we enjoyed everything. My favorite was the choco bun hands down. I will be back

I love the Taro lavender latte but with they had larger sizes. They have a pretty good selection of pastries, cakes, and other goodies. My only problem is that they put them in a bag all on top of each other so I get home and they are all squished and flat!
