Very cute little breakfast joint which has a open kitchen and 2 levels to sit at. Great food and the pancakes are a go to. Coffee is good to drink just black in my opinion. read more

Cute brunch spot downtown! Crowded and no reservations so you may have to wait. Waiting is worth it though. They have seating downstairs as well and a patio with a few tables and chairs. I can't wait to go back! They have daily specials and the menu is small but larger than I thought it was going to be. It covers all the normal brunch items. Kid friendly. Date friendly. Staff super nice and attentive. Food comes out quickly and nice and hot. All fresh ingredients. Street parking read more

On Orange is is on 108 West Orange in Lancaster in a re-purposed old home that comes with all the charms of a modernless space. The all day menu is breakfast forward https://onorange.wordpress.com/menu/ I had the Swedish pancakes made with organic oats and served with maple syrup & stewed apples. Super filling and cheap at 2 for $6.95. The oats gave it nice texture. I skipped the syrup and went for butter instead. The stewed apples were amazing, adding a nice tart counterbalance. Had a side of Canadian bacon. Cooked perfectly. Nice smoke to it. Coffee was solid. Service excellent. We have family in Lancaster and look forward to going to On Orange the next time we visit. read more

We stumbled on this restaurant when we were looking for a place to have breakfast. We stopped in the area on our way home from an early baseball game so we were hot, and hungry. Staff was friendly and food came out quickly and tasted great. It's eclectic, not your standard menu or decor but has the breakfast staples my family looks for. Would definitely stop in again if we are in the area. read more

So delish and original organic foods. I loved it. I had the overnight oat pancakes with steamed apples that had lemon zest garnish. So yummy! Tomatoes soup with home made bread cube and sunny side up eggs alll together in the bowl of deliciousness. Review was made 2 months after first visit and I vividly remember the delish food. Many things I want to go back to try I love 3 hours away but looking forward to a long weekend when I can return. read more

Finally made it here after many years of passing it and seeing how popular it was. We were in Lancaster for the weekend and staying within walking distance...we ended up here for Sunday breakfast at 8:45am after the first breakfast stop ran out of indoor tables. It was 45 degrees so a tad chilly for outdoor dining. We ended up with the prime front window table On Orange. Our server was awesome, we loved her. And the menu looked so good that we had a hard time deciding. There are only a few tables upstairs socially distanced and they apparently have tables downstairs too. We each had a different 3 egg omelette and I opted for the Florentine omelette and potatoes and it came with thick 7 grain toast. You can get roasted tomatoes instead of potatoes too. My sister-in-law had the Indian omelette which was super spicy. She loved it. And their coffee was amazingly tasty, I had 3 cups! Highly recommend for breakfast. I'm sure we'll be back when we're in town again. read more

This was the best brunch I had in a long time. We were a big party seated in the backyard, which was nicely decorated and shady with a bit of sun. Their coffee was on point - bold, smooth and not bitter. I ordered the peasant omelette with potatoes, tomatoes and whole grain toast. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The toast was thick, crusty and awesome with jam. The omelette was filling and well made with a ton of filling. It was the perfect meal for a road trip home to NYC. Come here when you're in Downtown Lancaster for a banging brunch. read more

I wasn't expecting much... cause healthy and organic doesn't sound tasty... but holy shit... what manner of witch craft is this. Their rolled oats pancakes and waffles sinfully delicious and I ponder if the chef sold their soul to make such awesome tasting food.

I have been wanting to find a place in the city that makes a vegan breakfast and I found it! My husband and I came for brunch here on a Sunday and my only regret is that we haven't tried this place sooner! The atmosphere was busy but friendly and attentive. We were served promptly and the vegan Swedish oat pancakes were delish! The pancakes were also huge - I would have been fine with ordering just one. The stewed apples are pre-made and not vegan, but applesauce was given as a substitute. There is also a downstairs area so the space is a lot bigger than first impression. My minor complaint (not really a complaint) would be that they serve a vegan margarine as a side with the pancakes. Coconut oil would be nicer. Good value for money and a great place for Sunday brunch with yummy options for everyone! Thank you! read more

So, I will be honest. I parked intending to go to a different place on the same street but it was closed. God had a hand in this as the result was fantastic! Small quaint cafe. Service a was excellent and fast, considering that they were full! Menu was small, but I went with the special that sounded interesting, a smoked salmon, spinach and goat cheese omelet. It was GREAT! Very delicate flavors that combined nicely. The goat cheese added the compliment to the salmon that made it a winner! Not sure if that will be on the menu a lot since I heard it was '86' after I ordered it, but this place has warned a return visit (on purpose) from me. read more

On Orange - Smoked Salmon, Spinach and Goat Cheese Omelet - New American Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

First time here. Sat outside. The host and server were both very friendly & made us feel welcome, attended to us right away. We enjoyed our food. We ordered a specialty omelette and pancakes! Tasty. Small note: The table we sat at outside wasn't ideal, as we were seated on a slant. So we had to be a little careful with our food. There was nothing the business could do about it since the ground itself was slanted, unless they remove the table altogether. We didn't ask to move, as we were seated at the last available table outside. (Also keep in mind this is during the pandemic restrictions, so I suspect they may be making the most of their outside dining.) read more

We stopped here for Sunday brunch while visiting Lancaster. There was a short wait (at noon). This is a cute cafe with a nice vibe, friendly service, a good selection of entrees and sides, and patio seating. They very nicely accommodated our gluten and dairy allergies (and had no problems after dining). We parked on the street right in front. Many locals eat here and it is a popular venue. We realized we'd eaten here when visiting the area about 6 years ago and had a pleasant experience then too. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent food, tastes very authentic and organic! We got the Swedish meatball omelette and pancakes....best I've had in a long time, definitely recommend this place!! read more

Family of 4 in town for a play. Had high hopes for this place but nope...very limited menu. Basically just bland food. The patio seating is a joke. 36" table with moss growing on it for a family of 4. Seating not steady due to stone floor. Just overall uncomfortable. I will say the bread was fantastic. But they order it from somewhere around Philly! read more

For all the years I've lived in Lancaster I've never made it to this place until now! All I've got to say - I will definitely be back. It's a small, quaint place with only a few tables scattered about. Even so, we walked in and didn't have to wait for a table. About 15 minutes into our time there though, the place filled up and there was barely a table available. We were going for brunch and I was very happy with their menu selection. It's not very large, yet for a small, mom and pop place, I thought they had a good variety. We ordered the baked oatmeal and their traditional eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast plate. WOW. I don't normally exclaim over my food, but I was so happy with how everything turned out. You could tell everything was homemade and fresh. The servers were also very attentive and friendly. All in all, I will definitely be back and would highly recommend this place for brunch and good coffee! read more

Amazing breakfast! Great coffee. Nice ambiance. And the service was good and quite friendly Try it!

Visiting from out of town and stopped in to have a late breakfast on Orange Street. On Orange looked cute from the street so we decided to stop in. Finding parking was fairly difficult, however, being 11am on a Saturday that can be expected. There is a paid parking garage about 2 blocks away for those who hate the hunt of the parking space game, but after some maneuvering we were able to find a street spot. The restaurant was half full, which I was thankful for because I was starving and assumed there would be a wait, but we were offered our choice of table and were served waters and menus straight away. Service was quick and the food was delicious! I ordered the Peasant omelet breakfast which came with a choice of white, rye, or 7 grain bread and a choice of roasted potatoes, tomatoes, or a mixture of both. I chose the rye with the tomato/potato mixture and it was fabulous. Portion size was good, even being hungry on arrival I still was able to take some home. My dining mate ordered the Indian omelet breakfast with potatoes, white bread, and a side of Canadian bacon. I always enjoy when I see Canadian bacon on a menu because growing up 20 minutes from Canada it was something we enjoyed at family breakfasts often and is a nostalgic treat when offered. The Indian omelet had a really nice spice to it, so if you like heat that's the way to go. I really enjoyed both breads, as they were fresh and hearty. The toast really stood up to the eggs as I like to utilize the bread as a shovel and eat the eggs that way. The bread didn't fall apart and was a perfect thickness for this task. I love hot sauce and was offered both Cholula and a green habanero sauce that was delicious by El Yucateco. We both ordered coffee with our meals and were asked 3 additional times if we would like a free refill. Again, the service was fast, friendly, and accommodating. Our waitress served us two free homemade cookies at the end of our meal that really hit the spot. I would definitely come back here again if I'm ever in the area. On Orange is a very cute spot with delicious homemade food and great service. Really, what else can you ask for? read more

'Rona time: Limited menu but very efficient callin and pickup. Breakfast menu is legit. Got the chillaquilles (tortillas with chorizo chili) and baked oatmeal. Chillaquilles were nice and spicy and topped with avocado and eggs. I'm a fan. Tortillas were soggy but that's 'RONA's fault NOT the establishment's!!! Baked oatmeal was a real hit with my friend who HATES dry baked oatmeal!! She said it was as MOIST AS A PILLOW!! read more

Short 15 to 20 minute wait for a party of two on a holiday weekend. Friendly and fast service. They split the meal for my wife and I. Everything was delicious! The facility (downstairs) is a bit small for someone standing 6'4" but once seated it wasn't a big deal! read more

Pretty solid brunch spot. Like most of the more popular brunch spots I frequent, they don't take reservations. The wait was said to be around 45 minutes when we called, down to 25 minutes when we arrived, and we were definitely seated inside in under that at 10 am on Sunday. They also have a full patio outside as well. Don't let the wait deter you. While the breakfast menu (which is served all day) is a tad on the smaller side, it seems as though there's something for everyone. Whether you want to keep it simple with classic egg, meat and potatoes plate, filled 3 egg omelettes, to newer ideas such as CHILAQUILES which is tortilla chips topped with spicy red chili chorizo, quest fresco, avocado and two eggs over easy. They have house made granola or oats for healthier options too. There's something for meat eaters and vegans alike. I personally opted to try something different which were the SWEDISH PANCAKES otherwise known as Svenska Pannkakor. They are made with organic oats and served with maple syrup & stewed apples. There's the option to make them vegan for $1 more and they can be ordered with 1,2, or 3 to a plate. I would say to go with one as they're pretty filling. You could always add another. I made the mistake of getting two because I didn't see one as an option and had the entire second leftover. I had never had these before and I really really enjoyed them. They have an interesting texture and sweet taste alone without syrup. I want to try to make them at home! I would definitely come back to indulge in these again! Oh, and I also had a side of delicious semi spicy vegan sausage. Yum! Hubs said his CHILAQUILES were just ok, nothing too special, but my brother who ordered an omelette with a side of roasted tomatoes and potatoes and my sister in law who ordered a Canadian bacon breakfast sammy all enjoyed their meals. Our waitress was friendly but the service overall was a tad slower. Not a big huge deal as we weren't in a rush, but just a heads up if you are. read more

The food was good, but not mind blowing; definitely overpriced for what it was. The portions were pretty small and nothing we tried was mind blowing. The grilled cheese was okay, the waffles were good, the pancakes were sub-par. It's a good eat, but not quite worth the price point it's at. read more

Heard a lot of people talking about this place online about this being a great breakfast spot . When walking in you feel like your in someone's dining room . You wonder how they seat all these people , then they lead you into the basement , where you see other tables for seating . They made most of the space and you feel so comfortable , like your in someone's home. Food was amazing !!! Not a long wait for food , and when they gave us our bill , it was accompanied by two freshly baked gingerbread cookies ! What a great place . Wish it was in my town . read more

Visitng from out of town and we looked vigorously through yelp to find a place for breakfast, since our hotel did not give complimentary, we landed on going here. I am actually glad we picked this place. Its a cute place and we sat in the basement. The ambience and employees were great. I had Swedish pancakes and I enjoyed them. They were very filling. It seemed a little pricey to me, but it may be worth it to some people. I wasn't pressed over the place or food, but it was still a nice place to try out and we enjoyed the experience. read more

Are use yelp to find this little café on one of my husband and my visits to Lancaster. This place is small, and cozy. We were greeted shortly after walking through the door and seated immediately. Joan was our server and she was an absolute doll. One of the standouts of my meal, the savory peasant omelette, was the bread that came with it. They don't serve alcohol here, so boozy brunch is out of the question. But the food is great. Every time we've tried to come here since our first visit it's been super crowded. I really wish they would start taking reservations. read more

This place had great reviews. I'm not sure how. This place was terrible. Chilaquilies chorizo tasted like cheap canned chili (and that's an insult to cheap canned chili). Had to sit outside cause it was during the corona, would have preferred a table that was at least somewhere near level. I have to take some of the blame, what did I expect from Mexican food in an Amish county. Still my wife's home fries were drastically undercooked, so maybe it's just that they aren't good. Worst part. Waited an hour for this junk. read more

The outdoor area in the back is beautiful! It's just a little bit uncomfortable with the uneven ground, but we managed to get over it and enjoyed our breakfast. I ordered the Swedish pancake, it was gigantic (didn't know this when I ordered 2 layers)! They don't have chocolate syrup for the pancake, but offered to put chocolate chips in the pancake, to which I said yes. It tastes different than the usual pancake because of the oatmeal ingredient. It was worth to try. Overall experience was nice. read more

Perfect place for breakfast. I was surprised to find several quality restaurants in Lancaster. I just did not think it would be a foodie place. The menu at On Orange is eclectic, in a wonderful and creative way. Top quality ingredients, and a little care in preparation go along way and On Orange clearly gets full marks. The service was pleasant, helpful, and you could tell they wanted you to enjoy your experience. The food was high quality and made with a creative twist, but not pompous. It reminded me of the type of food my mother would make... and my mother is a phenomenal cook. read more

Delicious breakfast and adorable restaurant! We loved the strawberry orange French toast that was on special! We will be back!!

Formerly Wish You Were Here, still very arty and stylish, but we wish there was more menu diversity, though the food is very good and high quality. You can still get the Swedish buckwheat pancakes, vegan-style, and they even serve Earth Balance butter. And the wonderful homemade sausage is still on the menu too. Advice: order one pancake, not two, no matter how hungry you think you are. They are huge enough to cover the plate. The bread has milk and eggs, but you can get the lentil hummus as a salad plate, and the soups are made fresh and sometimes are vegan. We kept seeing people come out of a door, though we assumed the restaurant was one room. It is not. There are two more rooms downstairs, along with a pretty and private patio. The bathroom is here too, and there were very cool photos on exhibit while we were there. Nice ambient electronica can't help but relax you. After your brunch, there are plenty of cool places to wander to. The people of Lancaster love their downtown. read more

Ordered for pick up and the food was overall very bland and underwhelming :/. Their phone line was also busy every time we tried calling in ahead so a second line might be a good idea for busy times.

Take a guess where this tasty gem is located?!.. BINGO "On Orange" ! If you happen to be visiting Downtown Lancaster's Amazing Farmers Market on Saturday morning, drop off your bags of Amish Goodies in the car and stroll around the corner to On Orange! On Orange is the old "Wish You Were Here" Restaurant. Most of the food and decor has stayed the same (still homemade, organic and local). The morning after my Husband & I were married we stopped by On Orange for breakfast before heading out on our Newly Weds Road Trip. BREAKFAST & BRUNCH is WHERE IT'S AT! HOLY AMISH COWS, this place is wicked good! Everything is so creative, fresh and organic. Don't you DARE leave without giving their SWEDISH PANCAKES AND WAFFLES also known as "Svenska Pannkakor" (Made with Organic Oats, Served with Maple Syrup & Stewed Apples) a try! When I want breakfast in Lancaster... this is always my GO TO! :) read more

This is just one more example of why I love Yelp: you're a stranger in a strange land and have a hungry tribe and no clue where to go. You open your Yelp app and it's got the recommendations and you use the GPS/map to walk there. Oh - and the reviews are on point and it's a great place. From the outside it's small and unassuming. You go in and there's both a basement and outside so it can hold more than you'd think. We venture outside to eat and loved everything about the place. (They need to expand with outposts in NYC and Montclair - two places that would appreciate it.) Good food... good coffee... friendly staff. It was the only place the rest of my family demanded we hit a second time while in Lancaster. And I learned something new - lagniappe! (I saw it on the menu but was too embarrassed to ask what it was so I quickly Googled it before it arrived. Yum!) read more

We arrived a little after 11am and only had a 20 minute wait for brunch. We lucked out and were seated downstairs which was very cozy, warm, and super cute. My mother had her heart set on the baked oatmeal, but they were out! Bummer! I suggest that if you plan on going that you call in advance and ask them to set you one aside. For a group of 4, we opted for the grilled cheese, swedish pancake, and the "On Orange" special. The pancaked tasted just like the baked oatmeal, but less calories(I hope) and it was extremely good! The grilled cheese was phenomenal, but very rich, so pace yourself. The "On Orange" was very good as well and their thick sliced 7 grain bread was amazing! A definite must and worth the wait! read more

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I was looking for an authentic friendly home-style Amish breakfast and what we found was a trendy and homey family restaurant. It was as if I had gone back in time to old city Lancaster and walked into a hip coffee bar. The cooks had gauges in their ears and the lady serving us had on a pair of overalls. The food, wow... the food. IN.CRED.I.BLE!!! Everyone one of the staff was so friendly and would stop to chat and ensure you were enjoying your meal. If you are in Lancaster this is a MUST STOP restaurant. By the way, I had the Cream Chipped Beef (see photo #13) It was HUGE!! And so deliciously creamy! My fiance had the egg sandwich- and the BREAD IS AMAZING! You MUST eat the bread!! While it is brought in from a place around philly it is the sweetest and lightest dough- it's almost like a pastry. AMAZING! read more
