• On 88 Degrees:

  Posted on 28th of June 2008

  Every trip to 88 fills me with a sense of sheer delight and tickles the taste buds like no other! Take the greatest home grown and locally sourced food mixed to quirky perfection, spectacular house coffee served in mighty and magnificent cups, home made chocolates that justly deserve their Great Taste Award, cakes that would melt anyone’s heart and sublime service delivered with humility. For those of us lucky enough to be locals and old (or young) enough to remember, it’s like a trip into Mr Ben’s dressing room… Closed on a Monday and a Tuesday (sadly Johanna and Phil do need days off!) Not only menu changes but complete interiors too, it all adds to this truly unique place. For those who are not local it’s more than worth the journey to seek out this special little place. I believe it's come a long way since it’s "2 panini and toasted sandwich” inception and for that I congratulate a truly inspirational couple, Phil and Johanna whose passion and dedication give us something wonderful in 88 degrees. I must also welcome Emma to the 88 team who may not like tea but does share a love of great coffee…welcome! I will continue to take those from my world to this little slice of food heaven and wherever I am in the world…88 degrees coffee will go with me, get my vote and may even tempt me home!!!
