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.
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.
I think this place is no longer what it used to be. I had eggs Benedict as I often do. The eggs come cooked almost hard & cold. I'm aware of how hollandaise sauce works so I understand you can't keep reheating it. Personally I believe that it should be applied to piping hot food & served right away. The grated Gruyère cheese was not melted & the bread was soggy. I think not only under & overcooked at the same time but that it probably sat at the pass for a while. The potatoes have lost all their charm & two tiny sad pieces of fruit. In the recent past I have noticed a major decline in food quality while seeing prices go up. The service today could be described as slow & uninterested. It was not overly busy either. It's not the first time either that I wasn't happy with the food. I was in a few months ago & had a similar experience with my eggs benny although the potatoes were still good at that time. Sad to see this place on the decline
This is a warm, welcoming local eatery with delicious meals & a fantastic kids' menu that makes it affordable to take a family out for breakfast/brunch. I love the different eggs benedicts & the kids eat everything on their plates. Portions are generous & service is friendly.
Some of the best eggs Benedict I've ever had. Perfectly poached eggs & the choice of lobster on the menu is a real treat. Kind & efficient waitstaff. Thank you for a delicious experience!
EXCELLENT breakfast. l pass this restaurant every day & never really give it a sec9nd thought. That was a mistake. This is absolutely a hidden gem & their breakfast is fantastic with rare homemade hasbrown potatoes. We had french toast, bacon, Sausage, hashbrowns, bananas & cheddar scrambled eggs. ALL of it, a solid 5 stars. 2 Thumbs WAY up 👍👍HIGHLY RECOMMEND
It is a nice place with kind & hospitable staff. Access was easy with no stairs, although the entrance is a bit small & might not be wheelchair- friendly. We had a combo, which was enough for 2 & half people. It had coffe, juice, toast, french toast, poutine, ham, eggs & fruits included. Overall a very pleasant experience.

I tried orange café three times for brunches. It is usually crowded & the service is fair. The first two times were so good. I am on gluten free diet. They have gluten free toasts (almost extra 3$ charge) & I asked for sweet potatoes instead of the potatoes (also extra charge). The sweet potatoes were good & the whole dish was delicious. The 3rd time I went there, I ordered the same thing I had before with the gluten free toasts. I started eating & I had one whole toast, & all of a sudden the waitress came to tell me that I got the one with normal/gluten toasts & she apologized for this mistake. They brought me another plate but this time the pouched eggs were not well cooked. I got so bloated & with the uncooked pouched eggs , I felt like vomiting. The last experience was not pleasant for me at all. Thank God I am not celiac or allergic otherwise this mistake could harm me in a very bad way. They did not charge me (which is the least they can do). I was bloated & I felt heaviness the whole day coz of this mistake. I put 3 star to pay more attention to such things as this may cause real harm for people with strict dietary restrictions. Despite my last bad experience, they have good options & it is a good place to have a breakfast or a brunch.
This place is a busy well oiled machine. You may wait a bit to be seated but it's worth it if you enjoy a big ol' breakfast. They have a lot of selection & they do it well. Their eggs Benedict are a big attraction as well as the smoothies. Service is fast & friendly. You can also get booze in your coffee or fruity drinks.
Tried to order through skip the dishes & the restaurant cancelled my order. Decided to call in for pick up to ask for a breakfast club which includes eggs but when we received it no eggs. Just lot of bread with bacon lettuce tomato & sausage. Also potatoes were extremely salty & over cooked. Pretty disappointing for the price of it
They have tried to update the breakfast. Never mess with a classic. The eggs are less tasty roasted & beans not a success
Thx bathrooms are less clean..
Miss the old place
