Orphan

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!
