    Country Fried Steak and Eggs with plain Home Fries
    Lori D.

    Everything is good at Orange Cafe Bistro! Food, service and ambiance are better than 95% of the rest of the breakfast places in Orange County. Prices are in line with other restaurants. Try the Spinach Quiche, Eggs Benedict, Chicken Fied Steak, Patty Melt and Breakfast Burrito are all favorites with us. The servers are all terrific and friendly: Maria, Nina, Alicia, Emilio and Mia. Say HI! for us.

    Bacon & eggs.  The fruit was very fresh.

    Delicious food and Emilio was friendly an attentive.. Great chilaquiles and coffee was good

    Vegetarian omelet
    Areen H.

    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!

    This is a hidden little gem! My girlfriend and I came here for brunch. We had Emilio as our server. He was awesome. Super attentive and kind. Nice ambiance with a little covered outdoor seating and indoor seating. The food was really good. Will definitely be back.

    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.

    Such a lovely place for a brunch with friends! Our server Nina was so friendly and gave great recommendations about the specialties. Service was fast and food was delicious. Thanks for a great brunch!

    Local neighborhood cafe since 1980s, typical brunch menu. Small & decent food. Friendly service. Quaint little coffee charm.

    Crab Cakes (imitation crab) | IG @moniquedao
    Monique D.

    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.

    Love it!! We had the ham and eggs and sides of fresh avocados and tomatoes! The toast was so good, I loved the larger slices nicely buttered up, like the old diners used to have. Emilio was our server and he was very attentive. He even made sure my dog had lots of water and he recommended a puppy patty for my pup. Everything was wonderful, so wonderful that we ate everything before I got to take a picture of the food!

    Had a wonderful breakfast at the Orange Café. Matt, the owner and our waiter Emilio were very nice and attentive and the food was delicious. One thing I didn't like was I asked for a side of hollandaise sauce and was charged $5. If I had known this before receiving the bill, I would not have ordered the side of hollandaise sauce.

    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.

It's not often today for the owner of a business to reach out directly to a customer - she did and it was a very positive engagement. There are time that even the best business has a hiccup and something goes wrong. What makes a huge difference is how the business responds, and therefore, Rekindle gets five stars. I'm certain my next visit will be fantastic - I'll be posting an update in the near future. Wow - So Disappointed! Rekindle was at the Taste of Orange this year and I enjoyed one of the Italian sandwich samples they were handing out. It was fantastic! We met the owner - she was very charismatic and charming. Today we stopped by to grab an Italian sandwich, and I just cannot believe they served me bread that was so old and dry - it would have been perfect for croutons, but definitely nothing like what we had at the Taste of Orange. The bread was so dry I had to dress it up with some olive relish to eat it - I don't expect when I pay $31 for a sandwich and chai iced tea latte to get home and have to start working on my sandwich. I accept some responsibility for this, because honestly, who goes to a coffee shop for a sandwich.

Saying "What I hear when I make a heavy cream latte for a customer". Unprofessional and unacceptable. I will not patronize any business that humiliates paying customers online. Sadly enough.. I was planning on ordering the drink the barista was implying was disgusting. I always get heavy cream lattes because they remind me of how my Grandma used to make milkshakes when I was a kid.. this just made me really upset. Please reconsider participating in judgmental & rather juvenile Tiktok's on a business page. You just lost a potential reoccurring customer.

A mere 1.3 miles away, I find this eight year old coffee shop that has its name origins from the German word for bread. Evidently, they have a plethora of baked foods mainly consisting of flour, water and often yeast displayed in full display next to the counter. I asked one of the staff if the shop makes their own bread and she said a local artisan bakery supplies them. They look amazing and they even have gluten-free options! This is a family-owned business that provides a more than suitable area for working on your laptop with WiFi access, or simply enjoying your favorite hot or cold caffeinated beverage, oh, and I must mention that they have premium blends as well for the coffee aficionado! Spacious indoor area that doesn't feel cramped and the exposed ceiling vents, the jazzy beats that is playing at a perfect volume and plenty of potted plants give it a balanced chill industrial vibe. There are tables outside too that's perfect for early morning or late afternoon when it's not too hot. I ordered the Vanilla Latte hot and asked that they fill up my insulated mug instead of the cardboard cup. Even with the steady stream of patrons, I received my expertly prepared brew by their hirsute barista, who gave me "beard envy" (I can only sport a goatee) :D The crew are friendly, conversing with the regulars. I can tell they enjoy working here! I don't come to Orange very often but would definitely grab coffee here again if I'm in the area and would highly recommend this place.

During my visit, there were quite a few people working on their laptops, so it seems to be a popular place to settle in for a while. As for the service, it wasn't particularly warm or welcoming. One of the baristas accidentally dropped something, creating a loud noise, and she was visibly frustrated and seemed like she didn't wanna be there which affected the overall atmosphere.

Staff is all nice, and they move pretty quick considering how busy they tend to be. On the drinks front, I usually get their cardamom latte, which is great, but I've noticed as of late they've been underserving on their drinks which is a bummer (the shrinkflation is real I guess). They also serve some various baked goods which are fine, but not great. Overall, Play has a lot of potential to be great, but they've got a ton of stiff competition in the area. I'd say it's worth a visit, but don't go out of your way for it.

The line was out the door throughout the day but they seemed very efficient. You grab a menu at the entrance and stand in line to order before you claim a table. They have a lot of food and beverage options. I ordered the Belgian waffle with the açaí sorbet. The waffle was cooked nicely and the fruit was fresh. The açaí sorbet was placed on top of the waffle which caused the waffle to get soft and soggy pretty quickly especially on a hot summer day. After a while the plate became a melty mess which made it less enjoyable. The water stations are a nice touch, but a couple of them were only filled with ice and the dispensers propped up above a puddle of water. At least one of them seemed to have a leak. They have two restrooms that are available for customers- expect a long wait time. The restrooms need more attention and maintenance especially during high-traffic times. The staff cleaning and clearing the tables were friendly and efficient. They were fast at bussing tables and getting them ready for the next guests. They also swept the outdoor seating area frequently which helped keep the seagulls at bay.
