Java+ is a pastry and coffee shop at 320 Orchard Rd, Orchard, Singapore, and its name suggests coffee alongside pastries. It holds a 3.7 Google rating from 19 reviews.
A good pastry maker is judged on technique: croissants and laminated doughs with crisp, honeycombed layers, tarts with a crisp base and a smooth filling, and flavours that taste of butter, fruit and real ingredients rather than sugar alone. Because pastry is at its best soon after baking, it pays to ask what is freshest and to eat laminated items the same day, when they are still crisp. Pairing a pastry with a coffee is a classic combination, and a flat white or a filter coffee is an easy way to judge the quality of the drinks. Orchard Road is Singapore's main shopping street, so shops there are busiest at lunch, after work and at weekends, and a weekday morning or mid-afternoon is calmer. In Singapore's heat and humidity, pastry softens quickly, so eat soon after buying and keep cream items chilled. With a modest number of reviews, read recent ones for comments on freshness. Regulars ask about nuts, dairy, eggs and alcohol in fillings if anyone has allergies.
