Popular Bakery Café Opening New Location In Parsippany Area

PARSIPPANY, NJ — It's official: the popular Taiwan-based bakery café, 85 Degrees Bakery Café, is making its way back to the East Coast for a second time, and it's coming to Morris County.

According to Urban Edge Properties authorities, the bakery has secured a lease at Hanover Commons in East Hanover and plans to debut in 2024.

This fast-growing chain, which has a cult following on the West Coast and provides hand-crafted beverages, pastries and other baked products, will open its second East Coast shop in the new 3,507-square-foot space.

85 Degrees Bakery Café was established in 2004 and takes its name from the ideal coffee brewing temperature, officials said. Its wide variety of pastries, bread, cakes and beverages helped the company grow quickly both in Taiwan and worldwide.

The menu includes pastries and breads, as well as drinks made with traditional Asian ingredients such as matcha, taro and ube.

The company boasts more than 1,000 cafés worldwide, but this will be Morris County's first.

“There is much anticipation for this concept and their expansion to the East Coast,” said Justin Lustig, Vice President of Leasing for Urban Edge Properties. “Hanover Commons provides a terrific environment to introduce their much-loved pastries and beverages to this property with high-traffic anchors and adjacent complementary uses.”

The restaurant's breads and pastries range from about $1 to $3 and the 8-inch cakes are between $32 and $35, according to officials.
