Orenda Cafe
3514 W National Ave, Milwaukee, WI
Crema's Take
“Orenda Cafe is a warm, unhurried breakfast haven where the chilaquiles and pancakes are genuinely worth the trip, paired with consistently excellent coffee that pairs beautifully with their generous portions. The vibe here is genuinely calm and welcoming—staff treat you like family, the space invites you to linger with your laptop or loved ones, and everything from the atmosphere to the food execution feels thoughtfully done rather than rushed. This is the kind of neighborhood spot where first-time visitors understand why regulars keep coming back.”

Love This Place!! One Of My Fav Places To Have Breakfast/Brunch. My Go Too Chilaquiles With A Piece Of Steak!!! Beat Recovery Food After A Long Weekend!!
If you have not been here, please go! We aren’t “frequent flyers” but the times we go, it is consistent snd amazing. Portions are great- pancakes are awesome. The staff is warm and welcoming and it is very toasty inside as it is a smaller place- but that doesn’t matter when everything else is just perfect!
The food and service were great! We came to have brunch for Mother’s Day and we were all happy with our food and drinks! Definitely will visit again! I posted some of our orders. Chilaquiles and very berry pancakes.
We often stop here for breakfast. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, and the food is consistently excellent. It’s a wonderful spot to enjoy a peaceful and satisfying morning meal.
I found out about Orenda just cruising through Google. I read the reviews and “WAS SOLD”. Please know - the reviews did not disappoint! This is such an awesome place. First, the place is so cute and incredibly clean. The staff was so friendly and kind. The way the staff interacted with the customers says a lot about the kindness of the management. LOVE IT! The food came out fast and hot. I had the salmon, spinach, mushrooms, potatoes, eggs and toast. Yes! That was all in one meal and it was AMAZING. The salmon was cooked to perfection. Did I forget to mention that my meal came with a side salad? Yes - it did!! My friend had the green eggs and ham with pancakes and waffle fries. It looked delicious. This is definitely a gem in the community. I’m so glad that I found this hidden treasure!
