Orphan

Absolutely loved Orphan! Wonderful quality food. I enjoyed literally everything we ordered. Can't wait to go back! Also VERY PLEASED (I hope you're reading this, Orphan!) that when I asked for whipped cream for my daughter's pancakes, they provided a nice serving of the real deal, not some gunk with fillers out of a can.

I finally found a parking spot to try this cafe . The staff was super friendly . It was busy this morning surprisingly but no one seemed to mind the wait . Parking is still atrocious, but the service was nice. However , I’m a little underwhelmed with the food and coffee. The pancakes were very fluffy and light but the toppings lacked flavor and the maple syrup didn’t really help the taste (it tasted like sugar free syrup ), the house coffee was strong but there wasn’t much to enhance it ; I enjoy the extra decorative parts of coffee. The restroom was dirty which was surprising since I haven’t noticed many reviews about it . The staff was super nice which I enjoyed but not sure I would go through the hassle to come again.

Do yourself a favor and drop by for the flavor! So many things to choose from, but I tried the Eggs Lulu and rosemary toast with avocado IT WAS DELICIOUS! And Bryan gave me the best personal customer I can't wait to come back! Update: I came back a few weeks later and Serene was our server, just lovely! And the meal was superb 👌

This food is amazing! The style of the restaurant is so unique and has covered outdoor dining as well. Gluten free and vegan options are available too!!

I absolutely love this place! Love that they offer delicious vegan options. October is the vegan chef challenge and this is my 2nd year coming back to try what's on the menu for this challenge. Definitely did not disappoint. We could never make up our mind. So my daughter and I always choose different dishes so we then can split them to try each one lol. I 100% recommend this place! Oh yeah and their coffee is so smooth and delicious 😋 ☕️ Take me back! (Yummy Pancake not pictured on this post)

We had breakfast here today, and I ordered the steak and eggs it was really good, I enjoyed it a lot! I just wish they had ketchup, though 😅. The server gave me their own house sauce, kind of like salsa, and it actually paired really well with the meal. We dined inside, and the only downside was that it got really noisy with people talking so loudly, which made it a bit hard to relax. Still, the food made up for it, and overall, I’d definitely consider coming back here again. Just a heads-up: they only accept cash, but there’s an ATM available inside for convenience

Stopped by today around noon, waited 20 mins or so and got seated outside. Ordered the savory pancake (amazing!) , French toast, normal pancakes and another dish. All I can say is wow! Everything was delicious, French toast and savory pancake was some of the best I’ve ever had. Can’t forget the delicious rosemary potatoes and bacon.

A reasonable and accurate 30 min wait around 11:15 am on a busy Sunday. Got to sit outside and while it took a little bit to be able to order due to how busy the staff were, the food came out very quickly and was excellent. Server was very sweet and enthusiastic even though they were very swamped. Ordered the blueberry cornmeal pancakes, a side of bacon, the dragon potatoes, and an iced coffee with a refill for $41 total. Cash only!

Woody suggested this place for breakfast. I like things pretty simple for the morning meal. And I like all the classics: bacon and eggs, eggs Benedict, biscuits and gravy, hash browns, French toast, pancakes. I'd have to be pretty bored to start spicing it up or getting creative. So, I found most of the menu unappealing. Except for the biscuits with bacon gravy. Now that was something I was really looking forward to. Fortunately, I had seen the chalkboard specials on my way in, so was puzzled that particular option was not on the menu. Our server was nice enough, but either totally distracted or just more interested in visiting. Cause Woody did not get the coffee refill he requested. And we couldn't get his attention as he jabbered with other guests. I had no problem getting up and requesting it from the counter. Same with the jam - or their version of it - a berry puree. Which Woody enjoyed. He ordered the Rosemary Breakfast and liked it. The bacon gravy was good. Nothing compared to my aunt Pat's gravy though. The closest I'd had was at Denny's. Their "country gravy" was made without sausage. Not a fan of sausage gravy. Or of sausage on its own. Biscuits were unique. Square biscuits...maybe a little too dry. Overall the meal was affordable and food was good. Not great, but good. I like the space. Not sure I'd come back.

CASH only! Open 365 days from 7 AM to 2 PM! They do have an ATM inside the restaurant if you don't have cash on you. Make sure to bring your patience too ;-) I feel like there is always a wait, but once you sit down the food come out fast! Artichoke Scramble The eggs are fluffy with just the right amount of cheese. It comes with rosemary potatoes and rosemary bread. Banana Blackberry Pancakes Three buttermilk pancakes with bananas and blackberries folded into their cornmeal pancakes. What is there not to like!? Great menu! It was hard to decide to one item. My friend and I split these two dishes and it was best of both worlds. You got the savory and sweet! Excellent coffee! I had the Heritage Medium Roast with oak milk. My friend told me that they grind their coffee in-house. I can taste the difference. One weird thing is they do not have ketchup! What? How do you serve potatoes but not have ketchup? Not a big deal, but I do like to eat potatoes with ketchup. Oh well!

Very yummy! Cute place, good food, not the cheapest. Services was OK, if not a bit slow. I am deducting a star for cash only. Yes, I know they have a free ATM, but it's 2025. Before you jump on me for complaining about that, I can tell you that it costs about 3% to accept credit cards. I have no idea how much an ATM costs, or how much they cover in ATM fees to offer the ATM for free to customers (because nothing is really free in life), but I can't imagine it ends up much cheaper. And in the meantime, you've made me (and based on other reviews, other customers) grumpy... over 3%. I see some of the other reviews had complaints about parking. It's mostly street parking in a mostly residential neighborhood. No issues there, plenty of open spaces.

The food here always tastes high quality and fresh! I love their pancakes, all of them. The savory are so incredible and nice change to a traditional sweeter pancake, I get no jalapeño to keep it non spicy. The bacon is a go to as well and crunchy and thicker, and maybe the best item is coffee with a huge portion of homemade whipped cream. The only 2 negative things is that it's cash or check only and the parking is awful. Despite a long waitlist on weekend mornings it moves relatively quickly. Service is always kind and quick and it's easy to see why it's always packed.

Yum, yum, yum! I hadn't been here in years, but since I've been working in the area, I was so happy to rediscover that Orphan (and Roxie) are just a few steps away. Lately, I've been getting my orders to-go, and every time I walk in, I'm greeted with a warm smile. The portions are generous and enough for two meals. Everything is made with fresh, vibrant ingredients that taste absolutely delicious. Yes, it can be a little on the pricier side, but the quality and quantity of food make it worth it.

This is a cash only restaurant. There is an atm inside for you to use if you didn't bring cash. There is street parking available. Unfortunately I did get a ticket I thought it was alright to park in front of the houses & not block their driveway but unfortunately that was not the case so make sure to park in a spot where it doesn't have the "no parking sign." The food here was excellent the service was very nice. Our server was kind enough to let me know if I didn't like the tea he would switch it for me with no extra charge. He constant was checking up on my friend and I. I would def come back here again!! Def recommend.

This is the it-place for breakfast on a weekend morning. Parking will be a challenge to find, and you might have to wait to be seated, but the food is worth it. If you're in the mood for Pancakes, you really can't do any better than either the Savory Cakes or the Blueberry pancakes. The Rosemary bread usually comes with the egg dishes and is very special. If the weather is pleasant, choose outdoor seating for the best experience. The tables are separated enough to give you the space you need with your group.

Service: Wait time just depends when you go, took me and my amiguita 15ish mins to get seated. Our server had a lot of tables, so some items were forgotten at first but then remembered. It happens, and she was probably the kindest one there with cool tattoos! Food: The Rosemary Potato's are a must! They are very savory and delicious. I wished they served more :( I felt like they poured a fat amount and took some out, and then-some. Like 1/4 of a cup :/ The look liquified jam - WOW! Hella good on the white toasty bread! the egg tasted like egg, nothing special - Orphan Cooks don't be afraid of that butta They don't have ketchup btw just hot sauce Dip your potatos in maple syrup - I'm being for real, it's a trip and it's good. Amiguita always gets her avocado scrambled as her go-to! She recommends it, but I went for something a lil more basic :) ‍ The Vibe Gay! Both meanings here :) love it I think the outside is a lot prettier than sitting inside tbh the vines are so earthy and pretty. I didn't like the way the inside floor looked, put some pretty piso y'kno, but cada quien I guess maybe its the look they're going for

Orphan is located in a neighborhood that gives it a home cooked meal vibe. There is limited street parking with various day and time restrictions but it shouldn't be hard to find a spot. There is no online reservation so you'll have to show up to get a spot in line. For a party of 6 on a Sunday around 11:30am, it was about a 30-45min wait. There is somewhat limited seating as there is only ~6 tables of different sizes inside and a handful of small tables outside. The menu was very limited in the variety of options compared to other brunch spots. The July's special menu did peak my interest though with their Smoked Lox Bagel. I'm a fan of smoked salmon so this was my choice for brunch. It was decent. A fair amount of smoked salmon but the bagel was on the tougher side. Other than that, it's typical. For $18? I'd say that's pretty expensive. Some things to note is that there is no price mark for monthly specials. Why not put the price there and save the workers the time to respond to every table asking how much they are? One thing that stuck out was how we weren't informed about the charge for extra for vanilla custard on the pancake or even the jam. Funny enough that the house made salsa was free. My friend asked for medium rare steak and was served well done. There was a bunch of flies hovering around our table which was irritating. All in all, I didn't really have a good experience and so I'm discouraged from coming again.

The atmosphere inside is super cozy and they are open 365 days a year, that's insane hats off to them for that but the breakfast itself was decent. The bread was a little dry, looking back at the pictures I think maybe they just forgot to give me butter with mine as well. But I should have asked, I did in the end ask for jam and they provided me with some. The rosemary bread itself had great taste but yea just a little dry. I think with butter it would have been better so just ask, don't forget like I did. The potatoes were quite tasty as well, but I found it a little odd that the establishment has no ketchup. I really would have loved some, but the waitress did offer some salsa so that was nice. Coffee was decent as well, but I don't think the light roast was my thing. The waitress was a gem though and brought me milk alternative which was so nice of her. I'll deff come again to try some other things, because based on other reviews I hear the pancakes are great. Very excited to come back and try something different, everything does feel quite fresh and the atmosphere is quite quaint. So I'll come back for sure! Bring cash when you come check this place out or there is an ATM on site.

10/10 food - the pancakes were amazing! Love it, so happy I ordered them. The soy chorizo alone was not great / super oily - I wouldn't recommend. But I love that I could have eggs and meat and pancakes. All in one the other dish was the soy chorizo omelette which we substituted Rosemary bread on the side and it was the best thing ever we got the jam on the side and even that was delightful. The wait is always long, but it's worth it in the end. All the waitresses were very nice as well

Beautiful May 18, 830am visit. Lucked out with parking, bam! And lucked out inside and got seated right away, bam! Busy, loud, the usual Orphan scene. Today's pancakes, one savory, one fruit special, were tough texture, chewy, definitely the bottom of the batter bowl. The fruit compotes on top were delicious. Servers pleasant and professional. ~~~~

Phenomenal breakfast/brunch spot in an unassuming location. The food was fresh almost from farm to table, and came quickly after ordered. I had the Rosemary bread, potatoes, and scrambled eggs with a side of sausage. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly, while the addition of rosemary was brilliant. Well worth a try if you're in the area looking for breakfast. Be prepared to pay cash though as they don't accept credit cards.

I came into this restaurant expecting to have a delicious meal and boy was I disappointed. For starters, it was a fairly busy morning so we waited about 20 minutes before being seated. The wait wasn't bad, i understand busy weekends are what keep a business open. It was upsetting being sat 2 feet from where we were waiting, might as well have sat in our cars and got it to go. lol Anywho once I reviewed the menu, I ultimately decided on the Banana Blackberry Pancakes... man do I wish I had just made them at home. Aside from the pricing being insane, the amount of fruit puree provided for the stack of pancakes was laughable. My girlfriend had to order extra on the side for me which was another $1. I paired the meal with a house coffee which again was overpriced and refills were NOT free, you were looking at another $1. When it comes to the pricing of my meals this is typically not an issue but when the value of my meal/plate doesn't match the amount I spent, that's when I get upset. Side notes, they do not serve ketchup here... I thought that was a bit strange. They allow dogs here but inside which I also found strange. I wasn't a fan of that. Positive note, they play some good music. Overall, I was highly disappointed and will most likely not be going out of my way to come again.

Can't remember the name of whaat I tried but it was delicious . It was rosemary potatoes , with black beans , avocado , house made salsa , and arm tortilla on the side . Also tried rhe hibiscus tea and it was refreshing . Our server was nice but the hostess or counter girl was just alright with her customer service skills . Neighborhood parking and chill vibes . Lots of vegetarian options !!!

The breakfast food here is delicious. The savory as well as the sweet pancakes are in a large Shara Le size and both taste amazing. There are a lot of vegetarian options here including the breakfast tamales. The produce tastes fresh, Cash only, and long wait due to popularity.

While visiting family, we decided to grab some breakfast to go (they were packed inside with long wait) from Orphan and enjoy it at nearby McKinley Park. Upon arrival the staff was friendly and our order was ready for pickup. We ordered a few different entrees. I went with the Dragon Potatoes - rosemary potatoes topped with carnitas, black beans, jack cheese, salsa, tomatoes, scallions, and cilantro, plus sides of sour cream, avocado, and two flour tortillas (I skipped the grilled jalapeños). I also added an order of the Rosemary Bread. The Rosemary Bread was fantastic - honestly, I could've eaten a whole loaf. Definitely a standout! As for the Dragon Potatoes... they were just okay. The carnitas had a different kind of flavor that didn't really hit the mark for me. I probably wouldn't order it again. I did try my son's coffee cake pancakes, and those were pretty tasty - super sweet and definitely delivered on the "coffee cake" name. Overall, I'd come back again to try something else and the bread alone is worth a return trip.

Orphan is a popular brunch spot in Sacramento that is located by McKinely Park and some medical offices. Street parking is extremely limited in this neighborhood so come early or scope out the streets. There's also no online waitlist or reservations so be prepared to wait in line. I came in on aSunday afternoon for 6 and it was about a 30 minute wait. They focus on classic breakfast items such as pancakes and scrambles but I'm glad they did have seasonal items. The service was attentive and quick but I was surprised that there was no ketchup. Also you have to pay for any extra condiments like jam or custard. Their potatoes are not crispy. The food was mediocre and I would not be coming back. I don't understand how it's so popular. It's a cash or check only establishment. I know it's out of their control but there were so many flies inside of the restaurant that it was hard to just enjoy the meal.

Visited on a Saturday morning around 10:30 AM with a friend. It was very busy, but the wait for an outdoor table was only around 20 minutes. The staff were very kind and attentive. Once in the table, they brought us water and patiently waited for us to look at the menu. We ordered the eggs lulu and the banana blackberry pancakes to share, along with iced coffee. The eggs lulu were delicious, the cream cheese paired very well with the eggs and veggies. The banana blackberry pancakes were also very good, the perfect sweet combination for the savory dish. I'm usually not a fan of banana pancakes, but the blackberries kept the banana flavor from being overwhelming. However, the iced coffee was a pass for me; it was too watery. Overall, the food and service were excellent, but the coffee was a miss. The cash-or-check-only policy is a downside, but they're upfront about it, so it's something to keep in mind when planning a visit.

This Sacramento gem is a must for brunch! Mots of their items can be modified to be vegan and it's truly delicious and worth the wait. The staff is amazing and they have indoor/outdoor seating and it's the perfect spot for everyone. Remember cash/check only!

Place was good, and I probably would go back if the hankering for breakfast was deep in my loins when in the area. Parking is a fun adventure, but luckily the establishment has a map (indoors to find it) showing where it's fine to park. We ordered a few things, and they were all good. There really weren't any complaints. It does get busy, so please be prepared to wait for a bit during peak traffic hours. Food was filling and heavy on the stomach, and the portions of pancakes were really solid.

This is the best breakfast in Sacramento, hands down! They have both inside and outside seating, dogs are allowed, parking is usually doable, the service is friendly, feels like a super cozy, locals, family vibe. We just love it! The three best dishes, though everything we've tried is superb, the Dragon Potatoes, Blueberry Cornmeal pancakes and the Savory Pancake. So much flavor!

This place doesn't disappoint I have brought all my Birthday family here and a few special folks. Customer service is great food is great atmosphere

There are so many great things about Orphan. It's a popular brunch spot so parking can be hard to find when they're busy but it's worth the wait. One thing before coming here, they do not accept credit cards, cash or check only. There is an ATM machine if you don't have cash. Service in general has been great in my experience. If you sit outdoors their outdoor heaters work well in the colder months. Pros: love their monthly specials. I love sweets and their pancakes are the best. I love that you can order 1 pancake or a stack. Their portions are big and everything is reasonably priced. Cons: parking can be hard to find when it's busy. Cash or check only.

This place was amazing! We came for brunch on Saturday and were nervous when we saw large groups of people waiting to be seated. However, they were all waiting for an indoor spot, and we were immediately seated for an outdoor spot. I ordered the Latino breakfast quesadilla and savory cakes. Both were yummy but the savory cakes were the star of the meal for me--unique and delicious!! Service was good. It was hard to find parking--had to park a few blocks away. I recommend!

Orphan is such a solid breakfast spot - I feel like I'm never disappointed when I visit. We arrived on a busy Saturday with a party of 6 and were seated within 10-15 minutes thanks to their communal tables. Most of the food options are vegetarian, but they have some really great bacon and sausage options that you can get on the side. We ordered the Dragon Potatoes, Breakfast Tamales and just a side of eggs and bacon for our daughter. We both loved our entrees, the Dragon Potatoes came with carnitas that were very flavorful and I loved how the sweet tamales paired with the tang from the salsa verde on the Breakfast Tamales. They also have really great house coffee too! They have plenty of seating inside and outside - the inside is small, but the outdoor patio helps. The inside is also very open with lots of natural lighting - I think the building used to be an old garage, but don't quote me on that. Parking is a bit questionable sometimes since it is mostly residential street parking, but if you're lucky, they have a couple of spots right next to the building available too. Also, they are cash or check only, but they do offer a free ATM machine right by the door. Staff is always friendly and attentive! We'll be back soon!

Pancakes. If you love pancakes, this spot! Called "Naked Cakes". 3 buttermilk pancakes. So simple, but I really be craving these pancakes at times. So soft and scrumptious. Just a simple pleasant sweet breakfast meal. Now, let me tell you about the Dragon Potato's. And it's not just a simple potato dish. It's latin style with juicy carnitas, black beans and fresh pico de gallo and a side of tortillas. Make sure to add a sunny side up egg to make your own breakfast tacos! Prepare to eat, because it is a PLATE! You Definitely get your money's worth. The vibe is super cute, indoor & outdoor seating, they do community style seating as well if you don't mind that. Cash only, atm available, tucked away in a cute little neighborhood on the East side of town. Usually a bit of a wait on the weekends. Always a good satisfying meal.

I really enjoyed my savory pancakes! They were sweet & spicy - very unique & perfecto. Unfortunately, my friend didn't have the same experience with their plate. The steak was overdone, tough, and the waiter didn't even ask how she liked it cooked. We realized he did the same thing with our coffee. They have bold and medium roast flavors but he didn't even bother giving us options. Overall, I've been to better breakfast spots but I may come back for those pancakes!

Hipster Hispanic vibe. Had the tamale breakfast meal and wife had the rosemary meal. They don't take credit cards but do have an ATM available. Tamales were good but a tad heavy on the sauce. Wifey liked the rosemary meal as the rosemary bread is really good with just a hint of rosemary. Probably will go back..cute little breakfast spot in East Sac.

Rosemary potatoes, carnitas, black beans, salsa, avocado, cilantro,etc.. plus two tortillas. This was such an amazing dish with more than enough carnitas. The potatoes are always on point. I usually go for their steak and eggs but this was definitely worth trying.

The breakfast is delicious although be prepared to wait. Fortunately, we only had to wait for about 20 min. I wish they took reservations. Also, parking is difficult. Fortunately, we were able to park across where Sundays I believe it's 2 hour parking. You should also be prepared to bring cash (it's cash only) although they do have an ATM inside (not sure if they charge fees). The service was great too. For some reason, they don't provide ketchup (they note this in their menu). I recommend getting there for breakfast no later than 10:30, since when we left people were coming in for lunch and the line was very long. I am impressed that they're open 365 days/year. Not many places are like that anymore. Great place for Sunday brunch!

So good. First time here. We ordered the dragon potatoes. And steak and eggs. Delicious. The dragon potatoes comes with carnitas. Very tasty. I would order that again. Everything we ordered was good. I can't wait to go back again. Service was excellent. Parking is very limited.

I love Orphan! This breakfast spot is check or cash only, so be prepared with it on hand. I've been here three times, and everything I've had is fresh, locally sourced, and absolutely delicious! Today, my partner and I ordered the savory cakes, and boy are you in for a treat with these! Our server said they're the best item on the menu, and it lived up to the praise. An order comes with three, fully loaded pancakes. You can literally see the bacon wrapped in. The jalapeños added the right amount of heat, and the cakes are great with or without syrup. The outdoor dining experience was pleasant with plenty of shade to keep us cool. I wouldn't change a thing, and I'm so happy that we got to start our week off here!

Best gluten-free pancakes I ever had- banana blackberry. I gave up on GF breakfast stuff a long time ago because of the gross grainy texture and taste (you know what I'm talking about). You couldn't tell they're GF- it was so good, I was waiting for "the usual after effects" in case it was a mistake...nothing. Now I know where to go if I crave pancakes again!

What a brunch spot! Nice patio space and delicious food! I can't believe that I hadn't been here before, but I will definitely be back again soon as the entire menu look great. This is not your classic greasy breakfast menu- think fresh, light, and a bit different. Don't miss the breakfast tamales!

If you're not sure if you want eggs or pancakes-- they do both well. Today I couldn't decide between the special cinnamon roll pancake or cinnamon french toast. My server suggested one if each! Perfecto! My husband went for breakfast tamale. He often has huevos rancheros. But really liked this as change. CASH only... and parking in neighborhoods can be chalkenge

The best thing in this place is the blueberry cornmeal gluten free pancakes. It is soo good and I get it every time I go. The day we went we also had the steak and eggs, but it was very small. I wish it was bigger... Service was quick and good and the place is very cute! The wait sometimes to go there is ridiculous tho!

Orphan Breakfast House is a cute lil breakfast/brunch place in Sacramento. It's one of Sacramento's favorites. You'll expect to see a bunch of people waiting outside to eat here. My boyfriend and I came for brunch on Sunday and we waited maybe around 30 minutes. They have indoor and outdoor seating, so if you're willing to sit at what comes first, it will make the wait shorter. He ordered the Grande Breakfast Burrito and I got the Soy Chorizo Breakfast. Our food came out pretty quickly and we grubbed in. The burrito was HUGE and you'll definitely be able to take the rest home. My boyfriend added sausage to his burrito too. It was very flavorful and they don't hold back on the ingredients. My Soy Chorizo was pretty good considering it being vegetarian. I did think it could have used a bit more flavor, but nothing the hot sauce couldn't help with! We also got a side of their rosemary bread with the jam and butter. This bread is something you must try if you love bread. You can really taste and smell the rosemary. I'd definitely come back to try the sweet breakfasts. I also noticed the coffee is a hit here! Do be aware that Orphan is a cash only restaurant and on the more pricy side. They do have an ATM inside if you don't bring cash!

CASH ONLY!! This place is always so packed. And for good reason. It is always worth the wait. The service is kind, quick and prompt, the food is always such a hit. I love seeing all the different groups of people coming, from a family with a new baby. To people sitting with their parents, or individuals who can either be friends or on first dates. All is welcome here. I've come here a few times for a bite to eat alone and have appreciated how easy this place is to enjoy. My husband states these are the best French toast ever. I believe it. Because I'm obsessed with the dragon potatoes on the menu. 10/10!! I add a side of over easy eggs and I am in heaven!

Came here with friends on a Sunday morning! My friends arrived around 11:15 and were told a 45 to hour wait, we were seated by 12:15, makes sense for a Sunday brunch hour. When we were seated we were crammed into a table that barely fit the 7 of us so that was a little annoying. The server was attentive to us and we ordered our drinks, and she brought them back within 5 mins or so. We ordered our food and it came out very quickly for how busy the restaurant was which was impressive! I ordered the soy chorizo breakfast and it was delicious, the salsa was a perfect combination with the eggs and beans, I wish my tortilla was a little crispier but that's ok. Cash only is a little annoying but we ended up having one friend pull money and then split amongst all of us. Overall my friends and I had a good time at orphan!

The food was good, which was good because it made up for the lack of service. The menu is diverse and colorful. It took a long time to come out and we didn't get it out at the same time which was unfortunate but when it did come, again, it was good. Our server was indifferent to our presence. It seemed to be a badge of pride or honor that the staff didn't care that customers waited around without any service. No water. No coffee refills. Food for one person. Ten minutes later for the food for the other. No care. We weren't allowed to pay for our food at the cash register. That place where the cash register was. We got barked at by an angry Genzer. We had to give it to the server who took it to the cash register, who took it back to us, which was ridiculous, like a scene out of Seinfeld. This would have been fine but again, the service was slow so we waited so long that I ended up just giving exact change and leaving. Parking is difficult as it's a residential trial neighborhood but you'll find a spot eventually.

Last week I had breakfast at Orphans. It was my second visit. The morning crowd had dissipated, so not super busy. We waited a few minutes for our server to tell us the specials and ask us if we wanted anything to drink. We asked for coffee. She wandered around for several minutes looking for something to do. Then coffee, not hot but warm. then finally our breakfast order again not hot. Taste was good but not hot. Yes, we paid for a coffee refill and it was hot. I do not know if I will ever go back. So many better choices.

3.5 rounded up due to excellent customer service and one good meal. We checked in and were given a 15-20 minute wait time. Randy drove around looking for a place to park for about 15 minutes - it's rough lol. We were greeted right away and brought waters. Randy asked for a dark roast coffee and it took a few tries to get one he liked and our server was patient and kind about it all. I ordered the pesto chicken sandwich with rosemary potatoes and was disappointed. The potatoes were delicious. Crispy outsides, soft inners and loads of flavor. The sandwich was annoying. It's cut in half and my first half had almost no chicken on it. Turns out the sandwich has small chunks of chicken on it and that the other half of the sandwich had the majority of the chicken on it. The bread is delicious but the bread to chicken ratio is off. It's the thickness of the bread. Even on the other side. While I ate it, the small chunks kept falling out. Maybe because there's so much of the yummy sauce and that helps the small chunks fall out...? Seems to be several things causing the problem. I think it could be solved if the chicken was a piece of chicken instead of several small chunks. I wouldn't order it again. Randy ordered the platas verde again but this time with extra cheese. He loved it! I had a bite, too. It was really good. We will definitely be back because this sandwich is not the norm.

Been trying to check this place out for a while. Always busy! Cute little place with cute decor. After looking at the menu we weren't sure this was our kind of place. We decided to each order something & we were both pleasantly surprised. The waiter was super nice. I ordered the Soyrizo scramble & loved it. Soyrizo scramble with eggs & jack cheese, over corn tortillas & black beans. Comes with a good amount of avocado and salsa & sour cream. My husband ordered the Banana Raspberry pancake and said it was delicious! I took a few bites & I totally agree. He said the coffee was horrible, too strong & tasted different. They have a small parking lot & street parking. Tell them you know Crash the dog & get a 10% discount. NOTE: CASH ONLY!

Went back the next day to try more stuff. Went with the savory pancakes, the tamale breakfast, and steak eggs again. I'm beyond sold. I second the first review. Ridiculous. Great job. If the weather is nice, sit outside.

It is sooooo good! Well thought out menu. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable ~ memorized our very complicated and picky order and it all arrived exactly as we requested. Ambiance was clean, relaxing, and calm. We were lucky and there was no wait which I understand can be an issue there. Cash only!

Nice little breakfast joint near McKinley Park. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. It's your typical breakfast spot but the food is made well and the service here is splendid. Their parking lot is tiny with about 5 parking spots but there's plenty of street parking around.

The service here was so kind and timely (shout out to our waiter for taking into account that it was my birthday today!) if there's one thing I love in this world, it's classic breakfast, and this place hit the mark! Pancakes were all I wanted for my birthday and they did not disappoint. So fluffy and so good.

A surprising but very scrumptious brunch spot. It's in such a quiet neighborhood I would never have guessed to check out this great place! Keep in mind it's cash only. Everyone in my group ordered their breakfast burrito or omelet. It tasted very fresh, like ingredients were grown locally. there was little to no grease in the burrito. I loved every bite, their fresh rosemary bread was amazing! so fresh and fluffy with edge of crispiness. I really enjoyed the meals here. The waitress was amazing and attended to us on a such a hot day in Sacramento, she checked in many times if we need just cups of ice, extra plates, more water. She also attended to other customer dog's to make sure they had bowls of water. loved the service.
