Café ORR stands out for its bold, artistic vibe and lively, creative energy, making it feel like a hub for work, study, or hanging out. The two-level layout, quirky decor, and occasional projections give it a distinctive character, while the space offers plenty of seating and outlets and remains open late, often described as a welcoming spot to chill, be productive, or meet friends. The coffee and pastries are hit or miss for some, with some drinks praised and others considered average, and the vibe sometimes overrides the coffee quality; vegan options and a selection of drinks including beer and wine add to the appeal. Music is frequently cited as too loud, distracting for conversation or listening to personal music, and a few mornings feature cooking smells that irritate eyes. Staff are generally friendly, though a few reviews mention attitude issues among baristas; parking can be challenging, but the place is still viewed as a hidden gem with unique charm and a strong sense of atmosphere that invites return visits.
Lovely atmosphere, staff, & clientele; the music is a bit loud but the good vibes make up for it, & it's open late! New favourite place to conspicuously read Marx.

A vibe & a half. Movie theater with coffee. Cubby & a coffee. Chess & coffee. Study & coffee. Outdoor patio chillin & coffee. Stop many vibes to catch here & the ambiance is very young, creative & nice. Staff take their time with each cup & are super friendly. I ordered a decaf latte with soy & the portion was the largest ice ordered anywhere, like ever. I also tried the chocolatine. The pastry wasn't so good but it all balanced out. Highly highly recommend for wifi working or just chilling.
The music is a bit too loud, so its hard if you want to read or study without earbuds, but otherwise the atmosphere is really nice! I love how theres all sorts of seats you can sit in to fit your needs & taste. Its a bit busy, for the right reason, but its a cute place to visit.

Wow - this place is so "cool" that I felt out of place. Spinning tables, lofts, cozy spaces, projections, couches....wow.... it could shake the hipster outta ya!
It's kinda cozy but messy at the same time, to be honest I found very difficult to have some work done there, weird chairs, noise, the coffee is great I definitely recommend this place to do anything but work/study
We were brought to this hidden gem by a local friend. The food was amazing. The Japanese curry was a very warm, pleasant surprise. The owner was super sweet. My kids had a great time too.
