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. Edit: Have returned with several others who all loved their food equally. Nothing negative to say.

Food was incredible. We tried the avocado scramble, the gluten free pancakes and the blackberry banana pancakes. Servers and hostess were amazing and the terrace outside with the sunlight were delightful. Would have stayed longer if it were for the line outside the door! Would travel to Sac again just for this breakfast!

What a gem. Delicious food. Just tell them to use butter instead of corn oil and you’ll be all set. I also love that they have the option of one pancake. Brilliant for those wanting a taste but not too many carbs. Just note it’s cash only (which is awesome! Cash is king!)

From the outside, the restaurant looks pretty cozy. However, we were a bit worried when we found out it only accepts cash, since we don’t have any. (Seriously, why should I pay a fee to get cash from an ATM?) Is it a tax thing? I couldn’t believe this in America. And in the morning, they mentioned they didn’t have ketchup, which was a bummer. Plus, parking around here can be a bit of a challenge.

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.
