Excellent staff, really willing to help. A lot of the options, scrambles, etc can be made vegan.
Eggs were good, great bread, steak in steak and eggs was pretty dry and way too many ligaments if you’re going to cut it up like that. Don’t get meat here. Pastries at the table next to us looked a lot better I feel like this is more of a café.

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!

This is a cute little restaurant in Sacramento I didn’t even know existed. I walked from the Hospital to and from this location. Great food and service. It is cash or check only, so fyi before you go. Thank goodness I had some cash on me. The place was packed. Food and service were great.

The vegan pumpkin pancakes are possibly the best pancakes I have ever had! Please make them a menu staple!

I used to like Orphan way back when I was a vegetarian and enjoyed their omelets, but as a vegan the options are bland and overpriced. Went recently during the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge and was super disappointed. Ordered the tofu rancheros which was just unseasoned tofu chunks on top of bland black beans smashed between two tortillas. It was all covered in red sauce that tasted like it came out of a can and partially destemmed cilantro. The onions were non existent. The best part of the meal was the coffee. At $17 it was a total waste of money and I wouldn't recommend this place to vegans.
Food was super tasty and our server made us feel really welcome. Definitely a great find.
The only reason for the downgrade is the unannounced and taxed "service fee" as well as charging for regular coffee refills. Pay your people and dont pass it on to customers. You can raise prices to make up the difference and not seem so nickel and dime-y
Still worth checking out. And hopefully they will read this and consider doing the right thing by their guests

Great food and coffee. Dragon potatoes was very good. The only issue is the parking situation.

Staff was standoffish. Food was great. Wish i would have been informed ahead of time that it’s cash only.

I went during the Sacramento chef challenge and had the tofu rancheros which was surprisingly good. They had a wide variety of coffee blends to try ranging from light to dark. Service was amazing and so was the outdoor ambience. Looking forward to coming back here again.
This place surprised me, very good tasty food. When you are eating you can taste the freshness. Servers were good, I had the savory pancakes which contained jalapeños bacon pancakes absolutely delicious. I had another dish called the plates Verde. Recommended to go here. Parking can be rough during the week but don't ruin this experience for others. Have cash or they have an ATM machine in restaurant and it's Free to use.

Food was good. Service was fine. Cash only, charges you $1for coffee refill (ridiculous) and .75 for jam (more ridiculous) ... plenty of other option...

Very filling, there was indoor and outdoor seating. Coffee was good, no flavored creamers fyi, big menu, big plates. Cash only which is fine, they have an ATM on site. Service was great, good timing, and our waiter was friendly. Food was flavorful, I got the corn tamales (no meat inside fyi) my cousins had pancakes which looked delicious and very fluffy. (If you're diabetic I'd suggest asking for no powdered sugar and butter on the side) I will definitely be back ?
