    Half a Lemon White Chocolate & Orange White Chocolate
    Dan R.

    An absolute Best of Rochester gem! If you haven't eaten here PLEASE DO! Formerly next to the Little Theater, they relocated here in 2018. The quality far exceeds anything you'd find in any other local lunch spot! The food is amazing! The cookies are delectable!

    Orange Glory has a small, but interesting menu. They have vegan and vegetarian options. Their lentil burger is excellent. They also have several options for dessert such as cookies, scones and such. There are usually a few tables outside to eat when the weather is nice. We've been here several times and have used them for a lunch catering event. They're excellent to work with and their prices are pretty good, considering their food is very fresh. I'm only giving it 4 stars because the staff are not very friendly. I don't usually mind this as long as the food is good but when you take the time to ask questions about their menu, they seem as if you're inconveniencing them. Regardless, I would definitely recommend stopping in for lunch!

    I was so happy to see that Orange Glory was open today! This place is truly one of the best restaurants in the East End neighborhood. It's a small space. The bright, orange interior and the colorful decor keep it from feeling cramped. There are 5 - 6 tables and a couple of mini banquettes available for seating. A small area is roped off during the warmer months where you can dine Al Fresco if you so choose. The food here is excellent. They have a variety of sandwiches available that are made with locally sourced, organic ingredients for all tastes vegan and carnivorous. A number of sides are available which rotate daily. Homemade cookies are made fresh daily. Today I had the Chicken Cutlet Club made with a hefty piece that didn't feel like a cutlet - AT ALL. It was fried in a light egg batter and included bacon, roaster red peps, arugala, and a smoky, sriracha aioli topped by a brioche bun - warmed by a panini press. This dish was truly satisfying and oh so good! I opted for the lunch box which includes a side and a cookie. I chose the Sesame Noodles made with sweet bell peppers, celery, shaved carrots and ground white pepper. It's dryer than what you normally get from traditional fast food Asian establishments - and that's for the better! A nice complement to the sandwich. A Cranberry Oatmeal cookie rounded out my amazing meal. Drinks include Nantucket Nectars, Honest Teas, Coke products in cans and water. The staff here is great. They'll explain every sandwich in detail, even when it's busy which is almost all the the time. They look like they really love what they do and it shows! You can't go wrong with this place! They're consistently great at any time of the year and it is, without question, one of the best restaurants in Rochester.

    Black bean burger and potato salad!

    Finally popped into Orange Glory for the first time last week and WOW. I do not know why I have not made my way there sooner. The small shop feels cozy and the staff adds to the laid back ambiance. An eclectic variety of diners were there for lunch, from students to coworkers to "the ladies who lunch." Orange Glory can really fit into any dynamic. The food was, for the most part, crazy good. I went for the chicken salad sandwich with potato salad and a chocolate chip cookie. The bread on my sammy was absurdly good and the chicken salad is infused with cranberries. The sandwiches are huge and I had an impossible time trying to decide what to get. Next time I will try one of the awesome looking veg based burgers. My friend get the zucchini based burger (incredible) and some soup on the side. The soup is the main reason I can't give this spot 5 stars. It was an artichoke mushroom soup that was essentially flavorless and lacking substance. Maybe some of the other soups are good, but I would recommend sticking only to the sandwiches & sides since they are all not to be missed.

    Chicken salad on toasted raisin bread
    Dan E.

    A lovely open space with creative and elegant artwork everywhere. The staff was just setting up when i arrived for an early lunch. The toasting of the raisin bread was so intoxicating that I had to have what it was - chicken salad with field greens on toasted raisin bread. I "made it a box lunch" for two bucks extra and got more greens, and a cookie to go. All were very delicious and the attractive and helpful staff made me feel welcome. A definite go if you are in downtown rochester.

    Spinach burger

    If you're looking for homemade quality and taste with the freshest ingredients, or just for a guaranteed healthy lunch, this place hits the spot! I wish they were open on weekends since my lunch breaks aren't long enough to take advantage of their hours. But if you can squeeze it in, it's worth it. There's some confusion for first-timers. You may need to orient yourself with what is what on the menu. However, the girls that run the joint are more than ready to give you the 411 on all the menu items! I had he eggplant chickpea "burger" which was served on a hearty wheat bread with mozzarella, red peppers and possibly a red peppers sauce? It's "meaty" and decadent and dripping with flavor. My mom tried their spinach burger which she thoroughly enjoyed. It was on a nice multigrain roll situation with feta and asiago, red pepper and banana pepper. If you're feeling like indulging just a little, the cookies are also amazing. We tried the lemon and the macadamia nut chocolate chip. Both delicious, gooey, homemade quality cookies!

    Lunch box - lentil burger, side salad and lemon cookie
    Breanna B.

    The perfect hearty, healthy lunch to-go has to go to Orange Glory. It's a tiny spot on East Ave by Little Theatre where you can easily stop in for lunch. The space is small with a few tables for seating and during the summer there are a few sidewalk tables they'll put outside. I often arrive early between 11-11:30am right when they open to place my order to avoid the lunch rush. I'm impatient when I'm hungry. Their menu rotates, but they typically have their tried and true Orange Glory classics like chicken salad, their lentil burger (my all time favorite - with spicy mayo!), or their black bean and/or quinoa burger, and one with a spinach/feta combo. Lots of options for vegetarians here! Most of them come on sandwich bread and are warmed up on the panini grill. I go for the lunch box combo deal because it comes with a side and a cookie ($10). The lemon cookie is my all time jam! Literally my favorite cookie in the whole world. It's soft and light and lemon-y. The PB&J cookie is also stellar.

    Eggplant chickpea sandwich. Five stars!

    I've been meaning to hit up this cafe for ages now, and finally got the chance to last week. It's a little hard to make time for Orange Glory, because they are only open weekdays for lunch hours. I ordered the chickpea eggplant sandwich (with admittedly some hesitation, because I usually don't go out of my way to order either eggplants or chickpeas). I was hooked after the first bite! The sandwich was bursting with flavor! It was perfection through and through. It seems that they have a lot of regulars. I think I'll soon be on that list too, as I can't wait to return here to try some of their other options!

    Meatball sandwich
    Jim B.

    I'm very proud to say I found the Orange Glory Café and all of it's, uhmm... glory, completely by myself (which is code for using my handy-dandy Yelp app). Let me try now and convince you why you should go find the Orange Glory Café completely by yourself too. Be you a vegetarian, vegan, foodie, local business supporter or any other hot button topic support you may be, you'll find this café fast, friendly, delicious and inexpensive. I've been here twice now, and I've had the Eggplant and Chickpea Burger (huge, flavorful and makes a good case for why we should add a fourth meal to our days so we can eat more of them), and the Italian Meatball Sandwich (not 100% if was a real ball of meat, but it sure tasted like one and it was awesome). I recommend both, and for you to make it a "Lunch Box" by adding a side and a fresh, homemade cookie for $2 more. The sesame noodles are a terrific choice. As far as those cookies are concerned, I tried the chocolate chip macadamia nut (sheer perfection), and most recently I tried the chocolate chip coconut macaroon. The macaroon was sweet and crispy on the outside, buttery and filling on the inside and tasted like my mouth was making love to the Red M&M's hot sister on a tropical beach. I spent the balance of the day grief-stricken, wondering why it was I cheated on my wife with a cookie.

    On my way to demolishing the peanut butter and jelly cookie
    Ophelia Y.

    What happens when you take advice from a bunch of Yelpers? You end up at Orange Glory two days in a row since you discovered it's deliciousness. I found out about this place on Tuesday night, then popped in on Wednesday for lunch. Figured I'd get a chicken salad + cranberry sandwich to go. Sandwiched between cinnamon raisin bread, every bite brings happiness to your mouth. I brought it back to work, along with a couple cookies, and holy smokes--this food is good! They have a lot of interesting combinations that are vegetarian friendly, including the chickpea and eggplant sandwich (I got one to go and ate it for dinner). I'm a fan of you, Orange Glory. The tuna mac salad was so yummy! It looked like it could be hit or miss in the case, but it's so good! Not super heavy on the mayo, but also not dry. Now let's move to the cookies--I got a chocolate chip, and it was decent. Nothing to write home about. But then I tried the peanut butter and jelly...damn. Damn damn damn. Why am I leaving Rochester again? Oh yeah, I don't live here. Then I tried the chocolate chip macadamia nut...I don't even really like macadamia nuts, but let me tell you, I DEMOLISHED that cookie! I can't say enough great things about this cafe. I will be back the next time I'm in town!

For the price, less than impressed. The overly thick patty was just too much. It was dry and just not for me. I would rather have two well-seasoned and juicy thinner patties. The fries and sauce were good. But not $32 worth of good. The cod itself was decent but it came in a sauce that was cold and odd tasting. Ambiance is fine. It was loud and crowded, but clean.
