Overall, reviews describe Orange Café as a popular spot for breakfast and brunch with generous portions, friendly and attentive staff, and a broad menu that many consider good value for the price. Guests praise comforting classics and hearty options, with quick service on busy days and a cozy, community feel. However, experiences vary: some diners find the atmosphere very noisy and hard to hear their companions, while others encounter slower or less attentive service, seating delays, and inconsistencies in food quality, particularly with breakfast potatoes and eggs Benedict. Many visitors say they would return for reliable brunch and warm hospitality, and several call it one of the city's better breakfast options, though a few leave disappointed by price discrepancies or perceived declines in quality over time.
I went many years without eating here because the quality had degraded, I came back last year & it was totally different for the better. But my experience today has me completely turned off once again. Quality of the food has gone down, particularly the breakfast potatoes. Creton was inedible. Service also left much to be desired. A table of 4 received one coffee refill & zero water refills during the hour plus we were there. When we went to pay the bill, we received no thanks or a goodbye as we were leaving the restaurant.
You would be best served eating elsewhere for breakfast.

LOVE THIS SPOT! the food is amazing & the prices are reasonable, service is quick. one of my favourite breakfast spots in montreal. portions are generous
I've liked Orange Cafe in the past but my last experience was disappointing.
I was charged extra for a change I made to my order (I actually had fewer ingredients than the item I ordered) & was not told about the charge until I saw it on my bill. I also did not receive the full order I was promised in the first place. Unfortunately I only realized I was missing items after I left. I called to talk to them about that the next day that I felt I was overcharged but no one called me back which sent me the message that they really don't care about their customers. Such a shame because I really like that place but would never go back.
We had 11 of us here on Sunday, on a very busy Mothers Day morning. Food & service were both excellent! Really appreciated that they could sit us together. Will definitely be back!
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

Orange Café truly shines with its delectable dishes, offering generous portions of freshly prepared breakfast favorites that consistently impress. The service is attentive & efficient, even on busy weekends, ensuring a welcoming experience for all patrons. The cozy ambiance provides a warm & inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal spot to enjoy a meal amidst the bustling charm of Montreal's Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighborhood.
Today I went to the Orange Cafe On Decarie with my two friends. It happened to be the Day of Trump's inauguration. The waitress had us right underneath the TV screen. We all ordered breakfast dishes. I had the Mexican omelet my friend had the waffles, & my other friend had avacado toast. My omelet was delicious. It included a soup. Both my friends enjoyed their food as well. The dishes included unlimited coffee. This was my fourth time at this restaurant. The waitress was friendly & the service was good. It has a nice ambience. It's a well known establishment on the west side. The portions are generous as well. I would recommend this place.
This was my second visit to Orange Cafe. The first time was on a weekend & the place was buzzing & the breakfast was solid. This morning was far from the first experience. Our breakfast arrived barely warm with the exception of the potatoes. The butter was still on the cold toast. Unfortunately, the waitress barely passed by considering it was not very busy for a Monday at 10am. So we did not get a chance to inform her of the situation. She came to fill up our coffee by the time we were more than halfway done eating. What a disappointment!
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.
J'ai vraiment aimé mon repas. C'était délicieux, la qualité & la qualité m'ont rassasié. Le décor est beau mais aurait besoin d'un peu de coup de peinture.
Delicious food, great service & delicious food! Very big portions, lots of choices, very busy, you may need to wait for a table. Always regret eating too much here but can't help it haha
The portions were ridiculously small. Extremely thin sliced beef salami, beans were in the smallest little tin (a little bigger than a ketchup cup) & only 2 fruits. Lastly, Flavourless undercooked potatoes & a terrible coffee wouldn't return
