Editorial Review for 88 Orchard – by Paul Adams
In Short
This pleasingly designed space, done in bright wood, with a tin ceiling and wraparound plate-glass windows, hosts a hip local clientele who linger over sandwiches, pastries and coffee. The menu ranges from buttermilk waffles to a cheese and fruit platter to oatmeal and granola. There are also several entree-sized salads (Caesar, curried chicken), pressed sandwiches, non-pressed sandwiches with such fillings as roast beef, daily soups and baked goods.

I love cafes that let you sit and relax, without hurrying you out - this place is just that + more. I came here last night w/ my friends after dinner just for some tea and pastries, and we really enjoyed this lovely cafe. They played good tunes and have outdoor seating available when the weather is nice. The cafe is on the corner and has large floor-to-ceiling windows, along with a high ceiling, which make for a very pretty atmosphere. Someone noted that the sandwiches are pricey, but I think it's fair since they let you stay awhile. I will definitely be returning!
Pros: african tea, vegetarian selections, vegan pastries, ambience, nice baristas
Cons: nothing!

Love it as a local. Nice staff, the place is small but well-designed. Food is pricey but you're subsidizing the fact that the cute place continues to survive, like a puppy. I'm a fan.
Pros: Atmosphere
Cons: It's small
