Tigress by 82soho review

Tigress 82 by Soho, tucked away in the fringe of Orchard Road, offers a comfortable blend of modern vibes and unique flavors. Whether you’re in the mood for a cozy coffee break or a satisfying meal, this café delivers. We recently had the chance to sample a range of drinks and dishes, and here’s our take on what this spot has to offer.

Drinks – A Strong Start

We kicked off with two Mocha coffees – one hot and one iced. The Hot Mocha was rich and comforting, with a smooth blend of espresso and cocoa, perfectly balanced with milk. It had a velvety texture that made it an ideal pick for a chilly day. Meanwhile, the Iced Mocha was just as satisfying, offering the same deep mocha flavor, but with a refreshing chill that made it perfect for warmer weather. Both drinks were priced at $14, and given their generous size and quality, they felt worth every penny.

Next, we tried a Vanilla Latte ($7), which had a smooth, creamy texture and a lovely vanilla undertone. Not overly sweet, it was just the right amount of flavor to complement the espresso without overwhelming it. At a reasonable price for Soho, this drink was a good choice for anyone looking for a reliable, delicious latte.

The Food – A Flavorful Journey

Moving onto the food, the Tigress Platter ($25) was an excellent choice. It featured an array of beautifully presented small bites, offering a little something for everyone. The portions were generous, and the flavors had a subtle but complex depth that showed a great deal of thought in the preparation. The freshness of the ingredients really stood out, and it made for a delightful, sharable dish.

The Smoked Salmon ($22) was another standout. Served with just the right balance of seasoning, the salmon was silky and tender, offering a satisfying richness without being too overpowering. Paired with poached eggs, it was an elegant dish that perfectly complemented the more casual vibe of the café.

Finally, the Mandu ($15), Korean-style dumplings, were another treat. These little pockets of goodness were packed with flavor, offering a crispy exterior and a juicy, savory filling. Served with a dipping sauce, they were a great accompaniment to the rest of the meal.

Atmosphere and Service

Tigress 82 has a cozy yet chic atmosphere, with a minimalist interior design that allows the food and drinks to take center stage.
