A former shoe store space in Overland Park will soon be home to a cafe and bakery.
Taiwanese bakery chain 85°C Bakery Cafe has submitted plans to move into and renovate a space at the Southglen shopping center.
Officials with the company estimated this week that the new Overland Park shop will open in late summer 2025.
85°C Bakery Cafe is coming to 12061 Metcalf Ave.
- The bakery is moving into a space at the Southglen shopping center, just off West 119th Street and Metcalf Avenue.
- There, it will neighbor clothing retailer Old Navy and discount grocer Aldi.
- Red Shoes previously occupied that space, until it closed in March 2023.
85°C Bakery Cafe serves sweet and savory pastries
- The bakery and cafe’s menu features a variety of sweet treats, from cinnamon rolls and coconut milk buns to cocoa-dipped danishes and chocolate croissants.
- On the savory side, 85°C Bakery Cafe also serves other pastries like ham and cheese croissants, garlic cheese bread, and potato croquettes.
- The cafe also serves sandwiches and a variety of coffee and tea drinks.
This marks the first 85°C Bakery Cafe in Johnson County
- The Overland Park store also marks the first in the wider Kansas City metro for the company.
- 85°C Bakery Cafe opened its first store in Taipei, Taiwan, in 2004 and now has United States stores in California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Utah and Hawaii.
- The bakery also joins a growing number of tenants to the Southglen shopping center, following the opening of Aldi earlier this month and the anticipated early 2025 opening of Pan-Asia Supermarket.
