If your sweet tooth is anything like mine, 85C Bakery Cafe in Texas will be your kryptonite. With several locations and counting in the Lone Star State, this viral bakeshop is quickly taking over the nation – and for good reason. There are hundreds of cakes, breads, and pastries to choose from (many of which you’ve probably never tried before), and not only are they stunning to look at, but they’re also absolutely delicious.

With dozens of locations in seven states (several of which are here in Texas), 85C Bakery Cafe has garnered a cult following ever since it opened its first U.S. location in Irving, California in 2008.
The Taiwan-based chain is named after the ideal brewing temperature for espresso coffee: 85 degrees Celsius.
Despite its name, the bakery is far from just a coffee shop. Upon stepping inside any of the sleek, modern storefronts, you'll be instantly overwhelmed (in the best possible way) by all of the delicious-looking options behind the display cases.
Virtually every type of sweet treat your mind could possibly conceive of can be found here. There are over 60 types of cakes alone, ranging from mousse cakes to cheesecakes to tiramisu.
While you'll see plenty of "standard" bakery items such as blueberry muffins, berry tarts, and chocolate chip cookies, many of the offerings are unique and hard to find anywhere else.
Many of the baked goods have a Japanese flair, such as the matcha red bean roll cake and several varieties of milk toast (if you've never tried milk toast before, it's the softest, most fluffy bread you'll ever taste).
Dozens of types of sweet buns are sure to leave your head spinning in a decision dilemma of epic proportions. Will you opt for a milk tea bun, a red bean bun, a mango custard bun, an espresso bun, or something else entirely?
The Pork Sung Half Moon Cake is a crowd favorite. Although pork and baked goods aren't an obvious pairing, the saltiness of the meat compliments the sweet, cream-filled vanilla sponge cake just perfectly.
You also simply must order one of their famous sea salt lattes. Americano coffee is topped with an addicting sea salt whipped cream that's so good, you could eat it with a spoon.
