    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

    Iced chai latte

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Matcha Latte
    Jasmine C.

    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.

    Ricotta pancakes
    Neelam P.

    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.

    THE ORDER FRIES
    Evin G.

    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.

    Birthday ice cream

    Loved this cute little bistro in south Orange NJ. Allison our server was engaging and knowledgeable. Had the chocolate chip cookies amazing. The baked omelettes/frittata were scrumptious. Had passion fruit soda. And coffees were amazing.

    Dirty Chai and Peach Juice
    Linette R.

    This place as a nice change of pace from your normal breakfast. The service was great and very attentive. The ambiance in the place was super cute. The food was very tasty and filling I had the Ruth. the steak was well seasoned. The herb potatoes and pickled onions went well together. My Dirty Chai was mad to perfection. The peach juice was a little too sweet but easily fixed with some extra water and ice.

    Oven Baked Omelette  The OG Burger
    Bri H.

    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.

    Entrance

    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.

    Have finally learned to read the sign and showed up when they were open! 8:30am to 1:30pm …read more The inside is teeny tiny and has a few items for purchase but the main business is custom orders which fills up fast! I came here at 8:30am on a Friday morning to get some desserts. Got some at 9am and told myself I'll at least wait until lunch to break into it. I lasted all of 10 minutes before the chocolate cake started taunting me. So naturally I took a taste of the cake and the snicker doodle cookie, because being an adult means I can have sweets for breakfast. Both works of art! The chocolate cake is rich and moist and just melts in your mouth. There is vanilla icing and caramel sauce which really adds to the experience. I don't like caramel and even I was kicking my fingers. The snicker doodle cookie was also delicious and would purchase again because it was so cinnamony and perfect, but I'm a chocolate gal through and through. I'm taking on the challenge to not eat all of this before my guests arrive this evening - but I may fail and that's ok. Izzy is the only one working there and she is so lovely! She opened this space because she outgrew her home kitchen. Excited to keep trying the new flavors!
