Crema's Take
“Cafe 88 is a breakfast and soup spot that consistently struggles with execution: multiple reviewers report hour-long waits for sandwiches, incorrect orders, and cold soup that staff can't reheat. While one customer praised attentive service and the garlic fries came hot and fresh, the 2.7 rating reflects a kitchen that can't keep up with demand and an operation that seems more chaotic than intentional, making it a risky choice unless you have low expectations and time to spare.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

My soup came out not hot at all. I asked the guy in the yellow shirt if they could microwave it, but he said they don’t have one — which I understand. Then he asked if I wanted hot water… what am I supposed to do with that? He even checked the soup’s temperature but instead of…
We had breakfast there on 9/16/25. Initially, the service we received was okay, but then when they brought our our food, they screwed it up that the extra side I ordered, was placed in my companions plate. They had the audacity to tell me that I should scoop out my share of the…
Pro: Great service ~ a huge shoutout to the server, very attentive and very dedication. 5 stars for the services Con: The noodle soup is a bit bland for the price but not so bad.
