...........
A:35dollars. And the coffee is for 25 dollars.
B:I'll take the salad, please.
A:OK. Here is your order and change.

Q:Is "is" in the sentence right? Not "are"? (Here are your order and change) Why?

Thank you

Think of the order as being the group of items you've asked for. There's only one order, so it's singular - you're talking about the order itself, not the things that make up the order.
