Sacramento cafe will celebrate grand opening on Friday

The 85°C Bakery Cafe, part of a chain known as the “Starbucks of Taiwan,” will host grand-opening festivities Friday at its new Sacramento site.

The cafe at 5591 Sky Pkwy, Suite 411 – in the Shun Fat Supermarket plaza at 65th Street and Stockton Boulevard – already has been drawing big crowds since its soft opening on July 3.

The 85°C cafes offer hot, fresh bread and assorted baked goods, plus a line of specialty drinks. The chain touts 60 varieties of breads and 40 types of cakes.

In less than 15 years since its founding in Taiwan, the chain has grown to 1,000 locations worldwide. The company opened its first U.S. site in 2008 in Irvine.
