85°C Bakery Cafe job reviews

  • Best thing

    I enjoy making drinks and boba. I also enjoy taking home free bread if it “expires”.

    Worst thing

    people are sometimes lazy and don’t make backups pushing all the work on me. And we also don’t make tips which I believe we absolutely deserve it for the work we do.
