Orchard Cafe

Dec 10, 2007 Link

Great food at the Orchard Cafe

A while back my family had been looking for a decent place to eat during Sundays after we would go to mass that wasn’t too crowded, expensive, or took a long time to be seated and served. After searching local areas, we eventually found Orchard Cafe which ended up being everything we could ever hope for and more.

It is set up as a seat yourself restaurant with a small waiting area, and as soon as a table is available, it’s all yours.

Once you are seated, one of the waiters will come to your table sooner than later and ask which drinks you would like. Every now and again a waiter will come to your table and check to see if you need a refill. You have to remember that this restaurant is small which may actually contribute to its efficiency.

And now the best part, the food! Their breakfast menu consists of a wide variety of delicious foods served different ways, made of (from what I suspect are) fresh ingredients taken from the nearby grocery store. A variety of the different selections include eggs ANY style(literally what it says), Pancakes with warm butter, Omelettes stuffed with anything you ask for, along with many other varieties of selections and side orders.

The BEST part of it all is that of all of the times that I have been to the restaurant, I have never needed to wait more than 20 minutes(tops) for the food to arrive at our table, even when it’s full!

This restaurant is definitely one of the best restaurants you could eat at.

(Remember that I only eat at the Orchard Cafe for breakfast, so your experience may be different from mine if you come at a different day or time.)

The only thing that has frustrated me is that on rare occasions the restaurant is very busy, and a small line can build up. As a result, the waiting section which consists of about 4 chairs fills up very quickly. I would highly suggest (that if the owner is reading this) to take out the chairs and maybe even a booth, move the TV to where the booth used to be, and add a few benches along the window and the wall. (Typically groups of 4 are seated sooner than larger groups considering that most booths only accomodate 4 people)

Besides that, Five Stars!
