The staff were welcoming and attentive, making sure everything was served promptly and exactly as ordered. Service here is consistently polite and professional, which definitely adds to the charm. Now, on to the highlights of what I tried: 🍗 Mexican Fried Chicken Crispy, juicy, and bursting with bold flavor, the Mexican fried chicken was a standout. The seasoning had a perfect blend of spices—smoky, slightly tangy, and with just the right level of heat. It was served hot and crisp, with a side of dip that complemented the spice beautifully. A must-try for anyone who enjoys bold, savory bites. 🧀 Chicken Lasagna This dish never disappoints. Layers of pasta, seasoned chicken, rich tomato sauce, and a generous amount of cheese all come together in a perfectly baked lasagna. It’s hearty and satisfying, with a home-cooked feel and just the right balance between richness and flavor. Great for when you're craving comfort food. ☕ Frappe The frappe was smooth, creamy, and had a strong coffee kick—which I loved. Not overly sweet, and served chilled with a light froth on top, it was refreshing and energizing. Ideal for coffee lovers who prefer their caffeine cold. 🍋 Lemon Iced Tea The lemon iced tea was light, citrusy, and super refreshing. You could taste the fresh lemon, and it had just the right amount of sweetness. Served cold with lots of ice, it was the perfect cool-down drink to go with the spicier food. ✅ Final Thoughts 95 Degree Cafe continues to impress with its inviting atmosphere, friendly service, and well- crafted food and drinks.

Crisp on the outside, loaded with gooey, melted cheese and just the right kick of green chilli—each bite was full of flavor and heat without being overpowering. Perfectly balanced for anyone who likes a cheesy snack with a little spice. The Watermelon Mojito was incredibly refreshing—light, slightly sweet, with a burst of mint and lime that complemented the fresh watermelon flavor beautifully. It’s an ideal cooler for a hot day and pairs really well with their snacks. Tried their Hot Chocolate next, and it was honestly one of the best I’ve had in a while—rich, smooth, and velvety with just the right amount of sweetness. It wasn’t overly thick but still felt indulgent and comforting. Definitely something I’d order again on a rainy day. To finish, I had the Brownie Shake, which was pure dessert heaven in a glass.
