emilio was amazing!!! great service and food came out super fast! nice ambiance and great vibe. Everyone was so friendl!

Orange Cafe Bistro is amazing! Their food is one of the best-kept secrets in Orange County. From chicken fried steak with fresh biscuits and housemate gravy, to Eggs Benedict, to off-the-menu Oatmeal with raisins & brown sugar to Sausage and Eggs and Breakfast Burritos - it's all delicious! The servers are friendly (Maria, Nina, Mia, Alicia, and Emilio) and usually fast (they get busy on the weekends). We've been coming here for 28 years and it never disappoints. Come give it a try - you'll be pleasantly surprised! read more

A hidden gem I lucked out in taking my mom out to breakfast on Mother's Day. Service and Hospitality - 5 Fried Steak - 5 (probably the best I've had in OC) Omelette- 5 (top tier hash browns and omelette was full of flavor) Pancakes - 4 (solid but don't taste like they're made from scratch and syrup is not Maple Syrup) Pastrami Sandwich - 4. (Onion rings were on point, sandwich could do better without peppers and lighter bread. The meat is delicious and should be the focal point) Steak & Eggs - 3 (eggs were cold and steak was overcooked) Chocolate Milk - 3 ( one kid couldn't taste the chocolate and the other said it was ok) I'll definitely be back again. Hope they get much success their way. read more

Local Gem. The food here is really good and reasonably priced. If it's your first time, they'll point you toward their popular dishes, which is helpful. Their portions are very generous! The pancakes are a standout--super fluffy and not dry at all. They have indoor and outdoor tables available. The staff is warm and welcoming--our waitress Alicia was great. It has that true home-style diner feel, where they actually take the time to chat with you and make you feel like a regular. I overheard that they've had the same chef for 30 years, along with some of the same servers, which honestly says a lot. I'll definitely be making this place one of my regular spots. read more

Orange Cafe Bistro - Chilaquiles with carnitas - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange, California

This was the perfect family post-graduation brunch! We heard about this place recently, that it's one of the best brunches in Orange and it lived up to the hype! I love that it's a hidden gem tucked away in a small shopping center. It's a small but quaint spot with both indoor and outdoor (limited) seating. Emilio our server was wonderful, the food was delicious and the portions were great. Especially awesome that you can choose a pancake with your omelette as your choice of bread! Because everyone always wants a side of just one pancake with their breakfast, literally perfect, and included in the price (epic)! The hash browns were delicious and I especially loved the squaw bread option (amongst many others they offer). Last but not least and kind of random but I really like how the iced coffees are served in a chilled mug, it's just that much better. We'll def be back OCB, thank you! read more

I'm a little late with getting this review out. I couldn't figure out the name of the restaurant but finally figured it out! Food was great, we sat outside because the inside smell like old oil. Definitely does not have good ventilation. Our waitress was nice and the food was good. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

It was Our very first time and definitely will not be our last time eating here! Their was a few people ahead of us, but the wait was not too long. We were greeted and sat down by a wonderful young man named Emilio, He got us coffee right away and made sure we knew that our food might take little longer since they were at capacity. We didn't mind the wait since he would check on us every time he passed and always with a huge friendly smile. You can absolutely tell he loves his job and im really glad we had him as our server! The food was absolutely amazing! He recommended the Denver Omelette and it did not disappoint from the service to the food it was all top tier! Thank You! read more

Been here quite a few times and it's always good. The servers are friendly and the portions for breakfast are pretty big. I usually go with the omelette and it never disappoints. It does get busy on the weekends, so getting there early helps avoid the crowd. Prices are reasonable and I like the string lighting and decorations. It gives a nice vibe. read more

Orange Cafe Bistro - Dinning Area - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange, California

Nice little mom-and-pop breakfast joint located just off the side of the main street. Very relaxed vibe, run by one incredibly busy gal who I assume was the owner. Prices were very reasonable and the food was excellent. Good selection of food, the eggs Benedict in particular was very tasty. Highly recommend not to overlook it because it's a bit unassuming from the street view. read more

A little disappointed overall with the food. Pastrami Sandwich was OK. The pastrami itself was a little dry, thick, and not fatty enough. French roll wasn't crunchy like I requested. I asked for the crab cakes as a side instead of Benedict. I should've asked whether it were made with real or imitation crab before ordering. Turns out, it's imitation crab. I'm not sure I've been to a restaurant that serves imitation crab for crab cakes. Feels kinda wrong. And these "crab" cakes came out not as hot as I expected. Yes they were crispy on the outside but the inside was not hot. Makes me wonder if it's old. Originally told it would be one cake for $6 but they gave me 2. So that's cool. Small plaza with limited parking. Restaurant is also small and it felt too crowded inside. Anyway, I wanted to like this place because of high ratings. But left feeling underwhelmed. read more

Orange Cafe Bistro - Chilaquiles with chorizo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange, California

Came for brunch after a run! The ambiance was cute, tight for big parties but we enjoyed our time. Got some mimosas and drinks to start off with! Our server was so kind and friendly :) wasn't able to catch her name Highly recommend the chilaquiles. They prepared it to where the chilaquiles were crispy, not too soggy, which went perfectly with the salsa. The chicken n waffles were also made well! The chicken was juicy and had a nice crisp when bit into. As far as the breakfast burritos and turkey melt; the eggs could've used some more seasoning and the portion of eggs and hash browns was overwhelming compared to the protein portion. The salsa for the burritos had mixed reviews. The turkey melt was ok, could also use some side sauce and thankfully our server recommended mixing some sauces and came out so good! Think it was cholula and ranch. read more

Amazing food service the best by far . The vibe for sure is pretty chill and lowkey wonderful . The whole time not once did I see the bottom of my coffee cup . Our server Emilio was on top of it all . Hats off to him . Definitely coming back again next time I'm in the area . If I could leave more than 5 stars I would . read more

Solid breakfast spot! I met a few friends who live nearby. Parking lot was easy and restaurant was empty on a Thursday morning. Service was strange- the server kept saying 'everything is good' and didn't really good enough feedback. We ended up ordering vanilla cappuccino (excellent), shared the French toast (incredible) and got three separate egg dishes with sour dough and some hash browns to share. Everything was excellent! The spot was fun and vibrant! Felt clean and comfortable. A great find! read more

My food tastes really great! I just basically got eggs and bacon, but the eggs were cooked perfectly. Bacon was nice and crispy! The best thing about this restaurant was the service. My server was so nice and attentive without going over the top. I'd go back anytime I'm in the area. read more

Came here around 11 on a Sunday. There was no wait but the parking lot is really small. We had to park on the street. Service was fairly quick. I got the Meat Lovers Omelette with a side of potato salad and pancakes. Omelette was not the best. It was kind of wet and would break apart when I cut into it. 3/5 Potato Salad was fine. Same kind of quality you would get from the grocery store. Pancakes were the highlight of the meal. Delicious! 5/5 Kind of pricy for the food and it was alright. Also water had a very weird taste. I would've gotten another drink but everything was around $6. If I were to come again, I would just get pancakes and bring my own water. read more

Tasty food and great customer service. I highly recommend the veggie scramble. Our server, Emilo, was amazing. For those who really love bold coffee, a slightly stronger brew would make the experience even better. read more

Orange Cafe Bistro is a cute little cafe in a small shopping center. It was pretty busy when my friends and I arrived. There are a number of seats inside as well as some tables outside covered by an orange awning. The menu has so much variety from a variety of breakfast dishes to burgers, sandwiches, and salads. They also have a kids menu with a Panda Face Pancake - cute! We ordered the 2 pancake combo, the crab cake benedict, and the Creme Brulee French Toast. Everything was soo good! The pancakes were fluffy and delicious just the way I like it. The french toast came with a yummy custard sauce with that candied crunchy sugar crust. The crab cakes were equally delightful, with a crispy crab cake and perfectly poached eggs, covered in plenty of yummy hollandiase sauce. Service was great, our server was upbeat and friendly. From the food to the service, I totally enjoyed my dining experience here. Parking is very limited, so you may have to find street parking if it's busy. read more

We had such a great experience here for breakfast! Nina was our waitress and she was absolutely wonderful. She's super friendly, outgoing, and just genuinely warm. You can tell she has a special connection with the regulars, which made the whole place feel welcoming and comfortable. My son ordered the pancakes and eggs and he loved every bite. Everything was delicious, and the service really made our morning. We'll definitely be back! read more

Toast was moldy and they never replaced it or offered any compensation. Our server also rolled her eyes when and silently took it away when we told her about it, not sure what that's all about. I thought the menu was diverse but the execution is kind of bland. Not sure if I would come back. read more

A busy place for brunch...glad there was outdoor seating so we didn't have to wait My favorite was the Creme Brulee French Toast. It was drizzled with creme brulee sauce, and I love that there was a ramekin with more of the yummy sauce to drown the French Toast The Crab Cake Benedict was delicious. I am a crab cake lover. It was my first time having crab cakes on as a Benedict. There was plenty of hollandaise sauce (a little too much for me). The poached eggs were perfect read more

The service was excellent, I like the theme of the restaurant. But unfortunately I cannot the same for my dish. I ordered the crabcake benedict and the best thing in that plate was the Irish potatoes, which were a 5/5 for me, excellent recommendation by my waitress. The hollandaise sauce was good the pouched eggs were cooked nicely with the runny yolk, but the crabcake itself was lackluster. Made with imitation crab, which is fine if I got a lot of it but in my opinion it was really all filler. I would come back but order something else. read more
