Ok. I love this place, and I've been a regular since day 1. But ther is one issue that I cannot ignore. The lack of vegetarian items or vegetarian friendly pricing. Sure, I can just not get the side of bacon or sausage - but since those sides are $4-$5 - I wish they would adjust the pricing. Eggs, with no meat should not cost $20. They include the option to select no meat - but then charge you as if you got it anyway. If you get less food, especially an expensive item like meat, I should pay less. Anyway - I know - just don't eat there, and I generally don't anymore. But it's a shame and an easy fix to appeal to everyone. And an expensive proposition for non-meat eaters. read more

Home is where the heart is and the heart of SOMA is at The Order. I don't have a photo of my food though I've been here over 20 times. This is because the food is made to order and out of this world. I typically don't play around upon delivery. The service is the best hospitality I've experienced since I was a server giving A+ hospitality. They're warm, aware and focused on their customers. The ambiance is adorable, feminine and rich. Hands down my favorite place in SOMA/Essex County read more

Matcha Latte was delicious and the Dumbledore breakfast platter was so yummy with the right amount of portions. The platter was savory, so added straberrry jam for my biscuit added a nice light sweet balance. Our waiter was very nice and accommodating. Look forward to returning. read more

Always one of my favorite brunch places ... even with the crowds and the wait. It is a beautifully designed space and the staff couldn't be nicer. I appreciate the owners/managers reminding guests that there will be a wait because they cook things fresh and with care. That it will be worth it. The variety of drinks and whimsical menu item names makes it fun. What a great spot! read more

I feel that this place is due for an update review, and no surprise here, it's still stellar. I came here with a friend and we sat outside. It was perfect weather for outdoor seating. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The owner even came out with our food. He is so nice and I still love his mom who is always in the background. My friend got the oh damn and I got the truffle and Parmesan fries. I didn't try his sandwich because I'm vegetarian but he said it was delicious and he loved how the owner served it by saying oh damn. It was a cute moment. I could write a love sonnet about the fries which was served with aioli and ketchup for dipping. We both got drinks, I got the iced chai latte and he got the iced chagachai. I liked his slightly better than my own, but both were delicious. The menu hasn't changed much which I appreciate, but would love if there were a few more vegetarian options. Is tandoori tofu a potential option? I love this place for a lot of reasons, but mostly because it feels like coming home. Service never disappoints and neither does the food. This place is a treat and I can't wait to come back. read more

This place was so so good! Came here with friends on a trip to NJ and it did not disappoint. It was busy when we got there and there was a bit of a wait but it was worth it. The restaurant is very cute a bit small. The staff were friendly and nice. The food is so delicious. We had gotten their fried chicken sandwich and lattes, yes a strange sounding combination but it was brunch time when we came. The fries were so good and were seasoned so well. If I come back to NJ I'll definitely be coming back here. read more

I met up with a friend for a belated birthday brunch. It is such a cute location and very tastefully decorated. They have limited seating so it was a wait but it probably was not more than 20 minutes. We just waited standing up at the space near their entrance. There is paid street parking in front and a paid parking lot behind for your convenience. - Hot Chaga Latte with no espresso with oat milk - Iced White Chocolate Chai with oat milk - Mini Hot Cakes kids meal (three mini olive oil & lemon pancakes, blueberry, banana, cinnamon-bourbon infused maple syrup) - Fried Chicken thigh - The Harry sandwich (Grilled chicken, thick cut hickory smoked pork bacon, tomato, arugula, onion, Monterey Jack cheese, & chipotle aioli on a choice of sourdough, multigrain or ciabatta - we subbed pork bacon with turkey) I ventured out and tried the Chaga drink that I've never even heard of before and although it's not my taste I think it's cool for them to have unusual items on the menu. A plus for all the milk substitute and also for turkey bacon. There was only one weird exchange that moved my 4 stars to a 3 stars. Our server mentioned that their fried chicken was good and suggested a couple dishes with it included but I wasn't that hungry so I ordered a kids meal of the mini hot cakes but was able to add a piece of fried chicken on the side. When it came it looked a little overcooked and when I took a small bite into it saw that it was dry, the meat was stringy, and the batter was completely separated from the chicken. I called the server over and asked if that was how their chicken normally came because hey if that's how it is then that's how it is, to each their own. He took a look and said no worries I will take it to the back and get you another piece. He came back a while later with the same piece and said that they told him that that's how it comes and it is dark because of the paprika they use to season it. He said he would take it off the bill and asked if I wanted to still keep it. I thought about it and said yeah just leave it on the table because I thought hey, maybe it'll still be good even with those issues if they assured me that it comes that way. If it ended up being fine on the inside even though the side I bit into was dry I would just pay for it. I didn't even get a chance to try it again because a bit later a woman comes over and takes the chicken off the table because he took it off the bill. It was such an awkward exchange made put a bad taste in my mouth. Overall everything else was pleasant and our server was lovely. I think he did everything he could given the situation. I wouldn't come back personally but think it has a lot of potential. read more

5 stars for the Fiona egg sandwich, it was really excellent and full of flavor. One of my kids didn't love the ricotta pancakes, I'm betting the regular pancakes would have been a bigger hit. Onion rings were fried very well and super crunchy. I hope the restaurant starts offering some more innovative vegetarian options. Sadly no bowl options for those not eating meat. read more

Unfortunately one of the worst omelettes I've ever had. It was cooked to absolute hell, tasted like nothing, and was about 800 degrees on the plate (obviously microwaved again before being served). The servers were nice but felt like everyone's first day on the job. For 3 people totaled almost $100, which for that money I'd rather make 30 omelettes in my own kitchen. They could obviously improve the food since it is meant to be simple brunch, so hopefully they go back to basics. Sad! read more

Stopped by to meet up with a friend and would definitely go back. We only ordered fries and coffee but it was really good and reasonably priced. The wait can be a little long depending on when you go but our servers were all very nice. I also liked that you could just order online and not have to deal with the bill. There are standard food and drink options as well as some that are a bit more interesting. I would definitely take a chance and try some of the more interesting items next time. read more

As a longtime resident, I've been passing this place since it opened and I can't believe I never stopped by. I'm so happy I did because now it's officially added to my rotation of close by brunch places. I'm so tired of trekking all the way to NY or Jersey City when there's brunch gems right in my backyard! I was very pleased with my omelette. It was hearty, full of my add ins and served with a side salad AND toast. The Order knows the key to my heart. Service was great and the restaurant itself is cute. 10/10 would recommend. read more

What a cute cafe set in right in downtown on the main stretch. Right now in early October they still have outdoor seating, which was a bonus because it was a beautiful day. As soon as you walk inside we were greeted by a pastry/coffee area and the most delightful hostess. Since we were a larger group we chose sit inside. The decor is so fab with artwork and trending wallpaper. I had researched the menu ahead of time and was excited due to the fact that the brunch menu seemed like elevated brunch fair. Being that we have a huge Harry Potter lover in the house this was an added bonus as many dishes are named from them. Some of the items that we ordered, which were 10 out of 10 good was the Marie Salad with tandoori chicken, the Fiona on ciabatta and a wrap and the OG burger. The salad with the chicken was huge and the Fiona on both the ciabatta and the wrap were enough that we could only eat half. We also ordered a side of truffle fries and they were huge and divine. Most importantly, the staff was so friendly and attentive, which really made this a top-notch place. Can't wait to return when in the area. read more

I love this establishment and every single time I've come, everyone is fully transparent about the wait times and that everything is made fresh to order. The ambiance is refreshing and everyone is friendly. Pricing is moderate and it fits the area and I've never had any complaints about the food any time I've gone. Bakery/coffee bar opens at 8 and kitchen opens at 8:45-9:00, and they're also very forthcoming about these things. They've got themselves a regular. My order: 12 oz vanilla honey latte Tipsy cinnamon roll The Benny Truffle fries read more

Enjoyed a lovely bowl with pork sorpotel today. What a treat it was! Loved this delicious dish from back home. One change I would make is to reduce the rice and add a little arugula salad. Great service and a welcoming ambience by the Pinto family. Kids had a burger and a sandwich. Also very tasty. Thank you!! read more

Great food and service. The place was cute and the people were so nice. The selection was perfect. We will be back!

Just had brunch here in this very cute place that has been on my radar, but that always seemed crowded. Today, I was told there could be a 45 mins wait. We waited maybe 30-35 minutes. Friend had the Dumbledorf and I had the sausedo(sp?) and we both had coffee, which was good! We sampled each others dishes and everything was good, from the presentation to flavor as well as friendliness of staff. Place is very pretty as well. I plan to return. PS: food photo may not represent portions as we starting sampling the food before I remembered to take pics. Sorry about that. read more

Brunch gets SUPER busy so arrive early if you're trying to check them out for brunch on the weekends. read more

Ordered delivery from The Order. As expected, took about an hour for delivery, but it's always well worth the wait from this establishment. Everything is made to order, and the items we ordered were delicious and filling: the Severus (fried chicken sandwich with romaine, tomato, and tartar sauce on a brioche bun) is my GF's favorite, and mine is the Harry (grilled chicken, bacon, tomato, arugula, red onion, Monterey Jack, and chipotle aioli on Ciabatta). Got sides of onion rings and fries with both, as well (rings and fries had to be reheated, but 3 minutes in air fryer @ 365 = perfect). We've dined in and have gotten delivery numerous times, and will keep coming back to The Order. read more

Wait time on restaurants and cafes are generally a no big deal for us as we know good ones tend to have it. The Order fits that description of "good things are worth the wait". We came in on a sunday expecting the place to be busy which was no surprise; and plus their website have mentioned that since they make everything fresh, service may take a while. When we got our orders though, we understood entirely why. All the food we had was hot and fresh delicious! We got the dirty fries which was the perfect side: crispy and had a wonderful garlic aioli. We inhaled those to oblivion. My husband had The Royal which was eggs, sausages and cheese. It was sooo flavourful and the cheese was so stretchy! For me, i had the Plain Jane since I was looking to have some rice for lunch. The sauce was perfect. Filling, flavorful and so worth it. Love the side of cucumbers for added crunch. For drinks I tried the cardamom latte which was something new for me. Its not going to be a favorite but I just love trying new flavors. Latte art was beautifully done. Minor thing but the decor, especially, the frames were a little confusing to me and i didnt find it so cohesive. Didnt affect the experience but just wanted to mention it lol overall a wonderful experience and a meal we thoroughly enjoyed! read more

I was very confused when I first heard about the order. A Harry Potter inspired brunch spot that serves... daal??? I was intrigued to say the least and boy am I glad I was able to try this spot out. Everything, and I mean everything, was delicious. My brother and I split the Royal and the Harry with a side of hedwig sauce. The Royal was absolutely packed with sausage and had so much delicious melty cheese. The Harry was great as well but the hedwig sauce really elevated the flavors. I had a Marocchino to drink and it was a perfectly pulled shot of espresso that was topped with frothed milk, cocoa powder, and cinnamon. Had the perfect little touch of sweetness. Was so good had to get a 2nd. Cannot wait to be back!!! read more

Why didn't I make the time to come here sooner?! Run, don't walk. Truly a great experience from start to finish. You order, pay, and tip all via Square, but a server comes around with water and always stops in to check with you to make sure you're doing okay and to make sure your order is correct. Tried my first ever Chagaccino -- it was DELICIOUS, and had beautiful coffee art. To eat, I got The Hagrid which is their housemade biscuit with an egg, cheese, and your choice of meat (I opted for sausage). The biscuit was flaky and everything a biscuit should be, the egg was cooked perfectly, and that Cinnamon-Bourbon Infused Organic Maple Syrup -- WOW. If they sold that in gallon jugs, I would buy one in a heartbeat. Not to be missed! Lastly, as a Harry Potter fan -- I cannot convey how much I love the ode to the story and characters in the naming of everything. read more

This place was fantastic. It's a cute place but has limited seating. The service was mostly ok. The only down part is that there was only one server taking the orders and not in order of the people that sat. The best part and the reason you're reading this, was the food. We had our espressos and the banana bread with chócate chips. It tasted great and I believe it was baked this morning. We then had the Dobby and the Royal with sourdough. The dobby was fantastic. It was really filling as well. I could only eat half. I believe the Royal was the star of the show though. The sourdough was fresh and clearly baked that day. The spice in the royal gave it some amazing flavors. Next time we will 100% get the royal and may just try more baked items as well. For a first time here, I was impressed and we will be back. read more

This is a super cute place with a fun menu. There is a little something for everyone. While I think this restaurant is family, friendly, the wait can be quite a while since they do not take reservations and have a small kitchen. If you have littles and are not hoping to wait long. This is not the place. However, if you are not in a rush, this is a lovely place to come. I enjoyed my breakfast, which was the oven baked eggs and I got spinach mushroom and goat cheese in mine. My Nana got the Dumbledore, which included a little bit of everything. Our waiter also recommended a couple of pastries for us to try before our meals came, which were lovely. The only thing that I did not enjoy was the spiced latte. Unfortunately, there was just too much going on with the latte. There is both indoors and outdoor seating, and they will see you according to first come first serve. I have also dined here for lunch and do really enjoy the atmosphere and menu. read more

This place is truly fantastic! I checked it out yesterday late morning and managed to snag a table without a wait. The menu has a wide array of options bu wast not overwhelming. I loved the dragonfruit lemonade, which was a new addition to the menu. It was sweet, but not too sweet, and wasn't tart. The Katarina was a heaping portion of ricotta pancakes, which were served with Nutella, banana, blueberry, and a really nice cinnamon-bourbon infused organic maple syrup. I also wanted to note that your order is placed via phone (order, pay, and tip all via phone). I thought it was pretty convenient.

I really wish I didn't have to wait over 30 minutes for my drink. It was a Saturday early afternoon around 130 pm. I was seated at table 1 alone for a few minutes before I actually realized I had to scan the code on the table and order my food on my own that way. A waitress came over and acknowledged my order and then....... i waited, and waited , and waited for well over 30 minutes ( I looked at receipt time and time I received my drink). Then waited, waited another 20 minutes for my food, a baked omelet. I did receive an apology for the drink wait, but still..... very disappointed. The food and coffee were really good and service decent. Maybe one day I'll try again at a different time to wait less. It is a small but cozy spot. read more

This mindblowing eatery has recently introduced a new sandwich and dessert combo that's causing me to lose my mind. With its bisexual atmosphere and silly staff, it's no wonder patrons are flocking to experience their delectable offerings. Talk about brat summer. Charli xcx would have written an entire album about this meal alone. The standout feature of this culinary delight is the chicken bacon sandwich, which is nothing short of magical. The chicken, perfectly seasoned and grilled to tender perfection, provides a flavor that is beautifully complemented by crispy, savory bacon. The real star of the show, however, is the "Magical Hagrid Sauce." This mysterious and delightfully tangy sauce infuses each bite with an enchanting blend of spices and herbs that elevate the sandwich to new heights and had my companion and I trembling with every bite. The freshness of the lettuce, tomato, and red onions adds a crisp and refreshing contrast to the richness of the meat and bacon. When the combination of these flavors hit the inside of my mouth and throat I was transcended to a new layer of reality. The vegetables are sliced with care, ensuring they retain their crunch and flavor, creating a harmonious balance of textures and tastes. Each ingredient is thoughtfully chosen and expertly layered to create a sandwich that will make you pregnant. Service at this establishment is exemplary. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with warm smiles and prompt attention. The staff's knowledge of the menu and their enthusiastic recommendations enhance the dining experience, making each visit feel personalized and special. They handle every request with grace and efficiency, ensuring that your meal arrives exactly as you hoped. For dessert... Sweet lord. The pancakes with ice cream and fruit are a delightful climax to this meal. The pancakes are fluffy and golden brown, with a perfect blend of sweetness and lightness. It greatly reminded me of my late wife. Topped with two vivacious bouncy scoops of creamy ice cream and an assortment of fresh, mouthwatering fruits, this dessert is both indulgent and refreshing. The combination of textures and flavors creates a delightful contrast that leaves a lasting impression that I have not been able to forget since being there. And reminds me of my late wife. Each bite of the pancakes and ice cream is a harmonious blend of flavors, with the fruit adding a burst of freshness that cuts through the richness of the dessert. The ice cream, smooth and creamy, busts beautifully into the warm pancakes, creating a luxurious, decadent treat. In conclusion, this establishment has crafted a menu that celebrates bold flavors and high-quality ingredients. The chicken bacon sandwich with "Magical dobby Sauce" is a testament to their culinary prowess, while the pancakes with ice cream and fruit offer an unforgettable finish to a remarkable meal. Coupled with exceptional service, this restaurant promises a dining experience that is both enchanting and satisfying. If this meal was a person I would make love to her every night and make sure she knew her worth. God bless this restaurant. read more
