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.
J'ai commandé le plat d'oeuf bénédictines spécial Benny & j'ai trouvé ça très lourd... je n'ai pas pu finir l'assiette! Les saucisses, bacon & jambon étaient bons, mais c'était trop gras dans l'ensemble avec la sauce 👀. Le cappuccino glacé était bon avec la crème fouettée, mais je l'aurais apprécié plus sucré. Pour ce qui est du deuxième plat commandé, c'était bon!
Came here to have brunch before heading downtown via the metro. The wait to be seated was quite long, & we received our food almost an hour after taking a seat. The meal left a lot to be desired, but that might be because I didn't order something they specialize in. The staff were very polite & helpful but were too busy. If visiting, I would recommend getting a reservation if possible, & trying something other than an omelette.
I recently stumbled upon Orange Cafe, a charming breakfast spot with both a cozy & bustling ambiance. Their menu is deliciously diverse, offering a variety of options to choose from. The service is attentive, & the welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal place to kickstart your day.

The brunch tasted good & was delicious. There was a waiting line so we had to wait for the waiter to accommodate us. The place has nice photo frames on the walls but it could use a makeover. The seats & tables look very faded & used. It was Sunday noon so I guess it was the busiest time of the week, but it seemed like they were a bit short-staffed. All in all the food was good & the staff were nice but the place needs renovation & cleaning.
I come here often because the food & vibe are amazing but I've had May as my server numerous times & she literally brightens my day. She is so kind, so nice & very attentive to her clients. The staff here is very welcoming & I will never stop coming to orange cafe :)))
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.
Ok, wow. I probably would have passed this place by without even noticing it if it hadn't been for the recommendation of our Airbnb host. It's lovely inside, the booths are so comfy, & the service was quick & wonderful. The menu is big, almost too big, because it's so hard to decide what to get. Everything sounded so good. I don't think you could be disappointed with anything though. We tried omelets, wraps, breakfast sandwiches, smoothies & breakfast potatoes. Everything was amazing. My kids asked to go back tomorrow. We will definitely return if we visit Montreal again.
This is place is amazing loved everything we ordered here for break fast! Their caramelized banana waffles would just blow you away. The home fries are also more flavorful! If you are on Montreal do visit this place!
A breakfast joint you would want to bring your mother too! 🥞 Speechless about the entire overall experience (in a good way*) Whenever I am in a new city, I tend to search out quality breakfast joints - Montreal, from my experience was always a challenge until I took a chance! This was a diamond in the rough, if you blink - you can miss it! The experience did not disappoint. Everything was so worth it! The food, service & atmosphere!! Highly recommend for a great breakfast!

We were so happy with our meals! The portion sizes are generous, & the people working here are very friendly! They also came by several times to fill up our coffee! We can't wait to go back & explore more items on their menu!
