Orange Café is seen as a lively brunch spot in the NDG area with generous portions and a wide menu that covers all day breakfast, brunch and lunch options. Many visits praise the food quality on items like eggs benedict, the O C sandwich, waffles and grilled cheese, and the overall value is described as very good with large servings. The atmosphere is warm and community oriented with friendly staff and a family friendly vibe, and the decor reflects the neighbourhood while a kids menu and coloring options add to the appeal. However, there are recurring complaints about slow or unfriendly service on busy days, long waits to be seated even when seats are available, and occasional inconsistencies such as dishes not arriving hot or items missing or mischarged. The noise level can be high and some reviews indicate the experience worsens on peak times. Overall, Orange Café comes across as a strong go to for brunch with big flavors and generous portions, but experiences vary and service or consistency does not always meet expectations.
I can really say that Me & my family enjoyed our breakfast to the max as the food was delicious the services was nice & pleasant & the atmosphere is so cozy .....& the owner Ed was very welcoming to my family that we're definitely going to make this a traditional Breakfast spot moving forward....thank you for making our experience amazing A+

Ive been going to Café Orange on & off for about 10 years & I always enjoyed my time here, but last time I went I was really displeased. It took over 15 minutes to get seated when there were seats available & no line, & I could see an older waiter signaling to my waiter to seat me, but the waiter would wave him off, so after a while I just went in & seated myself. So when I sat down, & he finally came over, I said I waited a really long time, he just brushed me off & said,'I just got here' & left. Forget you, bro. I would have been fine with even a small apology, but okay. Just ruined the vibe at the table. I wouldnt want to be served by him ever again.
A little noisy, but we'll worth it! Breakfast was spot on, fresh & delicious. I had classic eggs benny, very nice! Service was great even though they were packed when we were there.
Lovely staff always, William que me hable en espanol, me gusta mucho eso. Passionate about the spanish language. Cedric always so lovely. Food is tasty but would be nicer less black on the breakfast potatoes.Here here Orange Cafe !
This establishment is top tier. I went on a quiet day (wednesday) & then their busiest day & time, saturday at 12. The food was the same quality. The staff is onpoint. They have a childrens' memu, coloring books & markers. (The childrens' burger is massive btw.)
There are not much dairyfree options though. 😓
Their prices are reasonable. I intend on going back again & again. Great for big reservations as well as a party of 1. There's an all day bar, great smoothies & every option of breakfast & brunch option.
This is an absolute star of a brunch restaurant. Plenty of seating & fantastic, warm service. The restaurant is decorated with photos of the local neighbourhood to make it truly feel situated in the community. The sprawling menu has a gradient of light to heavy picks. I ordered the O.C. sandwich & I'm pretty sure I shaved off a few weeks of my life with this monstruous sandwich. It had enough calories that I didn't need to eat for a full day afterwards- look at the contents & you'll see why. It was a truly special item that you won't find on a menu anywhere else so I could not resist. If I ever return, I have to try the waffle grilled cheese that also caught my eye.
Malheureusement, les repas étaient également froids. Les cafés étaient froids. Le menu n'a pas eu d'images. Les repas n'étaient pas très délicieux. La décoration n'était pas jolie. On a espéré avoir plus de protéines dans notre repas que de glucides. Mais il n'y avait rien à choisir. On a demandé une chose au serveur, mais il n'a même pas approché de nous. Il nous a répondu à loin, ce qui était un peu impoli. Je ne pense pas que j'y retourne !
Orange is possibly the best value for breakfast, brunch & lunch in the city (I've never been for dinner). The prices are reasonable, or as reasonable as possible these days, the food is delicious & the potions are extremely generous. For example, HUGE omelettes come with fruit, potato, bread & coffee... it's a significant amount of food for an average price of $18.95. You walk out feeling satisfied & not cheated, like at many other places these days.
Service is great, very friendly staff & always happy to accommodate the customers. It's very conveniently located with parking all around. It's worth going!
The service was fine but it was so loud in there you couldn't barely hear the people you we with. I ordered the waffle grilled cheese, & it was not very warm when I got my plate. Even the cheese wasn't melted. Definitely not rushing to go back.

This is a very good place to eat. Friendly staff, good food & coffee. Not crazy expensive but as all others restaurants now, the tip starts at 18%. Not just this restaurants problem.
