About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a regular was sipping his coffee and reading the newspaper, he overheard a delivery driver muttering under his breath, ‘This place is always so hot!’ The regular smiled knowingly, finishing his paper with a chuckle. Turning around, he noticed an elderly neighbor nodding along in agreement, commenting, 'Yes, indeed—like stepping into a sauna every time!' From that day on, whenever someone new asked about the cafe’s secret charm, they’d whisper, 'Just come here early enough to avoid the heatwave outside.'

2. A delivery driver noticed something peculiar one day while unloading pastries. Among the usual assortment of croissants and muffins, there lay an old, dusty ukulele. Confused, he picked it up and played a few notes. To his surprise, the ukulele started producing melodies that perfectly matched the aroma of freshly baked bread in the air. Word spread quickly among customers, who began arriving not just for pastries but also to hear spontaneous ukulele serenades. Soon enough, '85°C' became known as much for its delectable treats as for its quirky musical moments.

3. A young mother was rushing to catch her bus, balancing two kids on her shoulders and a bag of groceries in each hand. Suddenly, she realized she had forgotten something crucial—her phone—and rushed back into the cafe. Just as she reached for the door handle, a friendly barista asked if everything was okay. Turns out, she’d left her phone right there on the counter, charging away happily. With a relieved smile, she thanked him and ran off to catch her bus, leaving everyone else in the cafe wondering what kind of urgent business could possibly require both kids and groceries.

4. One foggy morning, an early bird customer heard an unusual announcement over the cafe’s loudspeaker: ‘Attention, everyone—your cake is calling!’ Curious, the customer looked around and noticed that each cake had a small label with a phone number on it. A delivery driver walked in, picked up a cake labeled with his own number, smiled sheepishly, and said, 'Guess my cake was missing me!' Everyone burst into laughter, realizing that it was just another quirky prank by the owner.
