I love coming here for dine in or take out. The drinks are always top notch with great recommendations made by the baristas. Its... nice to be greeted by name, as is almost every other customer that walks in. Baristas Cameron and Taylor create a great sense ofcommunity and welcoming in the cafe. Owner Mina has created a wonderful space to enjoy consistently delicious coffee, food, andtreats. Read more
Came here because I was craving a good tosti? and was excited based on the reviews. Honestly I was a little disappointed when I... got home to see that the cheese on my ?hot pressed sandwich? was not even melted. And $6 plus tax is pretty steep for the wakeup sandwich, considering the tiny portion?. Coffee was good. Read more
No matter where I go across Ontario, I cannot find Café Oranje's equal. The staff, the atmosphere, the coffee, the food...... There is no comparison. I am delighted each and every time I visit. If you are gluten-sensitive, there are always wheat-freeoptions aplenty and their muffins are some of the best I have had in a long time. There is also gluten-free bread available ifyou want to get into any of their robust selection of sandwiches. And to any fans of oat milk, there is Earth's OwnBarrista-style oat milk available. The coffee is excellent - fans of black coffee, rejoice. It needs nothing added to beenjoyed to it's fullest. I simply tend to order lattes as a matter of preference. The store is always clean and welcoming withan atmosphere that delights in clever simplicity. The owner reflects these values with her personable, easy wit, and her staffare always professional and courteous. I'm incredibly socially awkward and still, I find everyone who works here is really easyto talk to. I am also sound sensitive but never feel the need to drown out noise here. Guests trend towards intelligent orpleasant conversation at a reasonable volume, and that over the sound of smooth jazz or lo-fi beats makes for pleasantbackground noise. If you are someone who likes to work at the café, I have been using the space to draw and work on commissionillustrations and have found it very easy to focus and get a lot done here. The front door is a little small and heavy, but thestaff are super courteous and if you think you will have any trouble with it, flag them down and they will absolutely help you.It's worth noting for the sake of accessibility as well, the bathroom is a rather small single-person room that requires you toascend about two or three steps. As a result of the size and age of the building, there is no wheelchair accessibility. Thestore is very lgbtq2+ friendly! I was asked for my pronouns (for context, I use they/them) and they have been well respect Read more
Was introduced to this cafe a few weeks ago and ever since I had tried their latte I knew I had to return. The food here is... remarkable. I highly recommended the Wake Up Sandwich, as it?s one of the best breakfast sandwiches I?ve ever had. Theatmosphere here is unbeatable. It?s such a small gem in downtown Hamilton that everyone should visit. I can calmly sit here forhours and feel like I?m at home, thanks to the amazing staff. Read more
