85°C Bakery Cafe ~ Review

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

85°C Bakery Cafe was a fun place to grab coffee at Westfield Century City in LA. The Bakery is loaded with delicious pastries all throughout the store.

We picked up a few pastries to try and I ordered a cappuccino w/ cream . I was in disbelief when it all came to under 10$ .


Looking into the company, I discovered why. Here’s what their website says
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In 2003, the founder of 85°C Bakery Cafe, Mr. Cheng-Hsueh Wu visited a cafe in a 5-star hotel. While enjoying gourmet pastries and drinks, he realized that the prices were set way too high for people to enjoy on a whim. From that moment, Mr. Wu has envisioned a cafe that provides premium coffee, bread, and cake at affordable prices. Thus the 85°C Bakery Cafe journey begins.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❤️ Totally could go here on a whim at any time!! So yummy!
.
I was also wondering how the Bakery got its name and here’s what the company says on their website
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WHY 85ºC?
The name 85ºC comes from the idea that the perfect brewing temperature for espresso coffee is 85º Celsius. For us, the name symbolizes our devotion to provide coffee, breads and cakes of the highest quality to every guest.

This is a good reminder for me today . I often want to hurry and get through moments or schedules but I am realizing that every moment is part of my story .The in between schedules , the late nights or the days when everything comes undone. These are the moments that build or tear down and my prayer this 2025 new year , is there will be more building then tearing down. That my story will be one that shows grace, forgiveness,kindness,humbleness and fun .

Bringing in the New Year on the Slopes

Bringing in the New Year on the Slopes 🎿
.
We enjoyed our winter getaway @whitepass . It was the perfect family adventure to get out and enjoy the beautiful mountains and snow. We love White Pass because of how family friendly it is. They offer a variety of different options so that everyone in your family can have a great time. They offer a mix of lessons for all ages , they have 3 carpets that make it easy for our littles that are still learning , they also offer the more difficult runs like black diamond and double black for the expert skiers and snowboarders so no matter where you are there is something for you.

The main Lodge is beautiful and has a variety of yummy food. They also offer a water tap and hot water so you can refill water bottles or add hot water to tea or soup . We always grab a tray of fries for the family to share and they are huge!While the family is munching on fries, I always grab coffee :)

.

The upstairs is adult only ❤️

.

There is also a Nordic Track across the street that offers several routes for Cross Country skiing and snowshoeing. We went and did the Lake Loop at twilight and it was so beautiful!

A few things to note..

You do need a trail pass to do these. They start at $15 Ang go to $35. After 3:30 , it’s doggie hour and after 4 you don’t need a pass but you are on your own.

Do you plan winter getaways? Or have a favorite Ski Resort? If so share them! We would love to know ❤️

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

We spent the day with friends last weekend enjoying the beautiful waterfront , farmers market and visiting some fun thrift shops like this upscale one .. Megs & Mo.
.

The store is beautiful and the items are all presented well. I was impressed with some of the designer labels they had and the price points for those items. Louis Vuitton , Hermes , Kate Spade ,Ulla Johnson and so many more !

They also had a great vintage section to shop from if you’re looking for some vintage pieces. There is something for everyone! Purses, shoes ,accessories and a mix of price points from 10-15$ to around 400$ depending on items.

This is a great shop to check out especially if you love thrifting and higher end items ❤️ I’m newer to thrifting but after this experience I’m excited to do more! I would love to know if you are a thrifter and if you have any tips to share.. leave in comments below ⬇️ and check out our virtual tour ⬇️

Just in time for Spring… A Seed Library

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

Have you ever seen a Seed Library? We were so excited to see this when we popped into a library . What a wonderful treat!!
.
We were able to pick several seeds to plant and it helped to minimize our cost in buying seeds.
.
Plus it gave the littles an opportunity to pick things that we would not normally buy like a quinoa plant and a few others.
.
We are so happy to see this back in some of the libraries this spring! Have you seen one at your local library?

Adjust your Crown

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

Anyone else have those days where you need to be reminded that you are a daughter of the King?

.

We are in the home stretch of the school year coming to a close, but there is still so much to do. This year a little harder then most with our oldest graduating. So much good and yet my heart aches to slow down the time and rewind to when he was younger and enjoy those moments more.

.

Life is moving so fast and these moments with our littles are fleeting. Enjoy. Every. Moment . And in the tough moments, remember you get to do this .. school, sports , momlife .. whatever it may be .. and adjust your attitude and straighten your crown . You are a daughter of the most high King ! ❤️
