I absolutely love it here! Everyone who works at this café is incredibly sweet and thoughtful, and they make you feel like part of the family the moment you walk in. The whole place gives off those cozy small town diner vibes that make you want to linger over your meal and refill your coffee just one more time. My kids and I come here all the time. It's become our go to spot for breakfast or a relaxed weekend brunch. I always have to get the French toast (seriously, it's perfection), while my kids are obsessed with the waffle breakfast plate. And the fan favorite in our family is definitely the grilled turkey melt with fries ... crispy, melty, and just so comforting. The coffee is amazing too ... smooth, rich, and always fresh. It's the kind of place where you can unwind, chat, and just enjoy being together. Nothing fancy, just genuine warmth, good food, and great people. If you're looking for a chill, welcoming café that feels like home, this is it. read more

I recently discovered this small little cafe in the middle of a shopping center. There's a good amount of seating though, but there was quite a bit of a wait time to be seated. After being seated and ordering, my food came out pretty quickly. I ordered a hot chocolate and the crab Benedict. I had to add salt to the Benedict but it was still good. The home fries were really good as well. Very crunchy. read more

First time checking this place out--super cute and the staff was really friendly. Got greeted right away and they sat me in a booth near the kitchen. Menu showed up fast, and my drink was in hand before I knew it. Thanks to the Yelp crew, I already had my eye on the French toast platter. Happy to see egg whites on the menu (not every spot has 'em!). It came with eggs and a choice of meat--I went with pork bacon, no whipped cream on the toast. The French toast was bomb. They were so generous with the strawberries, although a little sour, not ripe. Really good portion for the price. read more

Orchard Cafe - French toast platter with strawberries, egg whites, bacon - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Odenton, Maryland

Super small, so be prepared for a little wait, but the turnover is quick. It's totally worth it, the servers know guests by name and it's a great friendly atmosphere. Also: best French toast I ever had. (Don't tell my mom.) read more

A favored breakfast spot to many in the Piney Orchard community of Odenton, MD. Tucked inside a small shopping center this small breakfast eatery is consistently busy and between 10-12 there is usually a line outside waiting for a table. The menu is simple but has all the standard fare breakfast items. Prices are reasonable and the food is served quickly and hot. I'm a stickler about coffee and many times I won't return to a restaurant if I don't like the coffee served. 'The Orchard Cafes' coffee is a med-dark roast with good flavor; highly recommended. Note: this is a 4-person and smaller restaurant. Parties of six and more is very difficult for them and could cost you a 45-60 min wait while they try to accommodate you. read more

Fantastic food and service. Omelettes were delicious. Attention to detail with the order.

First visit. Everything was excellent. Service. Food. Environment. Staff. Service. Will be back again. Strongly recommend.

Needed a good breakfast and got it here! Friendly waitstaff and good breakfast at this moment and pop type cafe! The pictures on the wall shows community. They were pictures of customers. Nice touch. I had two eggs, French toast, and 4 pieces of bacon with coffee. Delicious and the eggs were perfect and the way I liked it, over easy. My son had eggs over medium (notice little yolk in the picture) and French toast. He finished his plate as well! Coffee was delicious too! read more

Orchard Cafe - Sorry, but my breakfast was so good, I polished it off fast! So sue me, I was HUNGRY on the verge of HANGRY. too! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Odenton, Maryland

This place has been on my list of places to try and we finally got there today. First note, they serve breakfast all day. Upon entering, there is a sign that reads "wait to be seated" so we paused. A friendly voice greeted us from the service area and said 'hello, take a seat wherever you like'. I immediately felt like I was being welcomed into someone's home. We were quickly brought menus as well as coffee. The menu has your standard offerings of breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, omelets, eggs benedicts, and customizable breakfast platters. And of course, biscuits and gravy as well as chipped beef gravy on toast! I chose the sausage gravy on biscuits (large size), and my guy got the platter with scrapple, home fries, scrambled eggs, and toast. Everything was delicious and the coffee was good. We will definitely be back, might even buy one of their t-shirts next time! read more

Our little family loved this yummy brunch spot the first time, so we have been coming back ever since, & we are regulars now! Perfect brunch spot in the Piney Orchard/Odenton, MD area!

Is it me or the quality of food is no longer the same. Living in the similar vicinity for about 5 years of this restaurant was always a plus however the quality of the food has changed like everything else. I didn't feel like cooking on this hot summer day but after eating this, I wished I ate from home. My coffee, omelet, and waffle were all tasteless. This place has lost me as a customer, however; they have steady regulars! I won't be one of them. read more

Orchard Cafe - French Toast Platter & Bacon Platter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Odenton, Maryland

Want inexpensive good food and service?! This is the place to go. Definitely recommend

Ex employee here-- I'll tell you guys what really goes down here. Orchard Cafe is the WORST place i've ever worked in my entire life. First off, all the workers are getting paid under the table. Each week we get a cash envelope with our pay. The petty owner does not give us the customers tips, all our tips go to management. The management here is awful and disgusting. The way the owner's talked to me was crazy. Kyung (the owner) is the most controlling person ever, if you ever come in and your order isn't getting taken it's because of her. If you see open tables and you're not getting sat it's because of her. The employees are getting micromanaged. I would be doing something of my own, she would scream at me to do something else which caused a lot of error in the restaurant. Everytime the bell would ring (meaning food is ready to be taken out) she would freak everyone out to go get the food, mind you she is doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I never got the husband's name but he's a big problem as well, he refuses to remake food sometimes. He's also apart of the controlling because sometimes he's controlling Kyung (the owner). Since he's the "kitchen manager" sometimes we would be forced to sit people, take their order but not put it in the system. Speaking of their "system" I'm not sure how they even had one because none of us were trained properly. They would mostly throw us into the game without any guidance or anything. Then we would get screamed and yelled at because we didn't know how to do something we'd weren't taught. Back to the organization, it was just so terrible here. The ticket system was bad, the way we did money (we had to manually enter totals), there were no sections for each person (so we were all running around like chickens serving everyone) . It would be a hot mess. Overall, I do not recommend this place for customers or staff because both are treated very poorly. read more

Need a quick spot for breakfast that won't break the bank? This is where we will venture to when hosting friends and family in the area before heading to the airport. It is great food. The staff is fast paced and super sweet. The menu is extensive, and the prices are great. Only downside is that the restaurant is incredibly small. read more

I come here maybe two or three times a month and for the most part service is pretty quick. You can tell when the wait staff is overwhelmed because they become snippy and won't take an order for anything that cooks longer than an omelette lol. I often get the Liver brown gravy rice and broccoli each visit. Next time I will try the delicious looking taco bowl they served a table next to me. This restaurant is a staple and have been around as long as I have lived I. The area and that's over 20yrs and I must admit the quality and taste of their food has remained constant from the first day I came here. Consistency is key.. if you're doing something right why change it. read more

The food is mediocre at best. The service is subpar due to management telling experienced employees what to do. Some items that need attention. They don't sit customers when they have open tables. Example: six people waiting they have four open tables. The theory is the kitchen is backed up. Just sit folks they can have coffee and wait at a table. There are some other odd rules that management implements that make absolutely no sense at all but. If you are in a small rush and need to be somewhere within 90 minutes forget about it. They can have eight open tables and only you waiting and you will sit for 20 minutes before being seated. read more

Great little find. Came in for breakfast with my husband. He got a build your own omelette and I got the French Eggs Benedict. My husband enjoyed his omelette and I fully enjoyed my French Eggs Benedict! It was seasoned perfectly and I liked the French bread twist instead of an English muffin. The staff were friendly and our food came out quick. The decor is a bit dated but it gave it character. The pictures on the walls were fun to look at while we waited for our food. Definitely a great spot for breakfast! read more

Orchard Cafe - French Eggs Benedict with a side of home fries. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Odenton, Maryland

Orchard cafe is my new go-to for breakfast or brunch! The cafe is a modest sized dining area that is usually very calm and relatively relaxed atmosphere. It's that small town feeling for sure! And we were very quickly seated and seen by our waitress. Decided I was extra hungry and tried the chipped beef with gravy to start. Definitely a very healthy portion of gravy and chipped beef but it could use more flavor in the gravy. The main entrees we chose was the scrapple platter and the waitress even helped us "hack" the menu to order chicken and waffles by ordering chicken tenders and waffles separately! The scrapple was pan fried to perfection, nice and crispy outer layer and soft and hot on the inside! Same for the has brown, even better than McD's hash brown! And the scrambled eggs were nice and buttery and fluffy. The chicken tenders were just that, nice and tender on the inside but the outer batter was a bit thick but nothing done maple syrup can't help either. Definitely recommend but come before they close at 2pm! read more

Good food and service but would like you to make your chipped beef better like other restaurants

Got scrapple? Love it or Hate it? A work colleague had recommended we try Scrapple and these were some of the first initial impressions. One girl said ".. It's not for me.." Another girl said "I think I had this before but I blocked it out from memory" We all agreed it reminded us of Pumpernickel bread. (And shaped like spam) Now, scrapple isn't going to win any awards for its appearance, just like the state of PA where it originated from. However, it does serve as a filling mystery meat alternative to the traditional bacon, sausage or ham. For some, the love of this "meat" might bring you some nostalgia of your childhood. Your mom or grandma made it and you either loved it or hated it. Although, not everyone is a fan, a good chunk of the population must love it enough to give Scrapple its very own national holiday on Nov 9. If you're every in the Mid-Atlantic region do give Scrapple a try so you can at least say you've had it once. Disclaimer: The breakfast was great and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. We all tried the Scrapple, because we were curious. Try anything once! read more

I literally just finished eating here with my girlfriend. It was delicious! The restaurant is quaint with a lot of appreciation for the military and a wall of photos from previous customers. It really had a nice homey feel to it. We got the french toast platter and everything tasted great. The coffee was delicious too! If you're in the area you should stop by and get a simple affordable breakfast here. read more

A solid diner/cafe!! A SOLID place to get a good breakfast for the low. Fast service, food comes out quickly. Small location (but has booths). Very tasty food that tastes like something your grandma would make, and great portion sizes too! The eggs were very soft and omelet was cooked perfectly! This place is like a " don't feel like cooking" or "it's a Sunday after church and we're hungry" type of place. read more

Was hoping to come in to grab two quick breakfast sandwiches to go before my son's hockey practice at the rink nearby. I was a little surprised when they said the wait would be 15-20 mins but I had exactly 20 mins before I had to go. We sat by the door while we waited and it was quite hot in there. Didn't feel like they had AC. In addition, we were charged more than the $5.99 menu price for each. Not sure why but I was in a hurry so I didn't question it. I ended up having to wait almost 30 minutes for our order. Don't get me wrong, the food is really good but it isn't a good spot for a quick grab and go. read more

Very nice and homey diner! Not expensive and the food is good as well as the coffee; they apparently serve it freshly ground evey morning. The service is also very kind and attentive. It's more of a local, community centered place which makes me feel at home and welcomed. I'm definitely coming back for lunch and dinner. read more

We enjoyed our breakfast at Orchard Cafe today! Me and my family decided to check this place out after my little brother got his hair cut next door at great clips. We came on a weekday, Wednesday, so naturally the place was pretty empty. We were quickly seated, ordered some drinks, and then decided what to order. I chose sausage patties w/ two eggs, home fries, and a hash brown on the side. I wish they had the option of corn beef hash here, that's my favorite. The sausage patties were a pretty good alternative, though, so that made up for it. The hash brown was good, nice and crispy, but the home fries were just mediocre. I did enjoy my meal and my family enjoyed theirs too. It feels good to eat a fairly priced and affordable breakfast! Will definitely come back here for breakfast! read more

Your standard little local breakfast joint with anything you could want for your morning meal! A super busy little spot, but the service is fantastic. The pancakes are SOOO good. I'm not even a huge pancake fan, but these were delightful. The crabcake benedict was good and I don't think you'll find a better one for the price! The rest of the food we had - eggs, potatoes, toast, the usual - was good. Nothing special but still good and I ate every last bit of it. The fourth star was because there really isn't any other place in the immediate area and they serve the need! read more

This is a great little café located in an unassuming strip mall. If you like breakfast, you will love this place. They offer a variety of down-home, traditional breakfast options. From pancakes to waffles, you cannot go wrong! I love a good waffle and they do, a great one. The staff is friendly and, if you are a regular, they will always remember you. If you're looking for a great meal, and want to support a locally owned, small business, you have to check this place out! It's definitely no frills, but I think that is part of its charm. read more

Orchard cafe is one of our favorite breakfast spots located in the Food Lion plaza. The restaurant does not take reservations but does have takeout. When you walk in there's a small sitting area where you'll wait for a host. Names aren't taken or written down so it's on an honor system and they'll ask, who's next. This place can get packed so don't go during the typical breakfast/lunch/after church hours. We usually order breakfast sandwiches and they're always delicious. My husband has tried their steak and cheese but wasn't a fan of the taste or portion size. The service is always good here and we've never had a problem. read more

First time ordering breakfast takeout and I'm disappointed and still hungry. I was expecting a good experience because the reviews, but the food had no taste at all. Hash brows were decent but my Omelet was terrible. I couldn't even finish it. I had to add my own salt and pepper and it still tasted bad. I bought 3 meals and spent close to $30 and none of us can eat them. I tried to spare a morning of not cooking but now wish I rather have cooked. I'm upset and unhappy and wasted $. Not sure how they have almost 5 stars. read more

Nice spot for quick breakfast in a pinch. Food is okay. Service is good mostly. I ordered the bacon breakfast platter with grits, biscuit, coffee, large orange juice, and scrambled eggs. This is my third visit this week. The first time everything was perfect. I thought it was going to be my new go to spot for breakfast. The first visit I came alone and the second time I brought my friends bragging about the place. It will not be our go to place. This is the second time I asked for my eggs to be scrambled soft and each time the came out hard. This last time I asked for butter and the server never brought it out. The platter was $9.99. Orange juice $2.99. Coffee $2.49. Total with taxes $16.40 one person. read more
