The location is by the river, giving nice view and breeze. They have the genuine orange tree at the back deck which are lots of oranges on the tree. The garden seats are below the tree which we can't see the river but giving different vibe. The food are so plenty, their sauce amd salad dressing are so refreshing. They gave more than enough of mushroom cream with chicken schnitzel dish. Service is so nice, all staffs are so friendly and helpful.

Beautiful little cafe, backs onto the river under the shade of an Orange tree and open deck. Food was very generous and fresh loved it. Staff were so lovely and friendly will definitely be back. Butterscotch banana pancakes could shared between 2. Yummo!!

Hi People, In my search for the best breakfast, I think I’ve found a winner. The orange tree coffee shop. Generous portions, good selection of items and well cooked. The service was excellent and staff very friendly. It’s a high bar they set! My wife said the smashed avocado was excellent for those who like avocado. We’re going back to try the waffles and pancakes, they looked awesome.

Cute and cosy with a nice river view. Food was good, but there was a high-pitched noise and it’s not very quiet with kids riding past. Food came out before my friend’s drink, so timing could be better. Definitely would come here again

We had such a beautiful experience at Orange Tree Café. We were seated at the back of the restaurant overlooking the river, and it was honestly the perfect spot peaceful, relaxing, and such a lovely view to enjoy while dining. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, which made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. Hubby ordered the Big Breakfast with sourdough toast and poached eggs, sausages, bacon, mushrooms, spinach, hash browns and grilled tomato. Everything was cooked perfectly and generous in portion. I had the Eggs Benedict with salmon and spinach (and added hash browns). I must honestly compliment the chefs for their outstanding food everything was fresh and beautifully presented. The hollandaise sauce was absolute perfection. A proper, well-made sauce! The salmon was fresh and delicious. I also had a cold pressed juice the “Ever Green” which was so fresh and tasty. Highly recommend. Thank you to the whole team for making our experience so lovely. We’ll definitely be back for more tasty meals.
