J. B.

They were a little busy but we got a table quickly and our food came out super fast. Wonderful service and very friendly!

P. J.

A funky wee place in the middle of Whanganui City. Like all places, they have to manage everything differently as we navigate Covid. Great meal, good coffee and it had a nice feel to it. It could do with a good clean and maybe a revamp but cosmetic, Id go back again. Thanks

A.

Funky cafe and bar in downtown Whanganui. The decor is bright and vibrant. Drinks are (naturally) served in bright orange crockery. I relaxed in a comfy seat with a cheese scone (very salty) and hot chocolate and enjoyed the free wifi. Good service with friendly staff.

S.

Excellent service tonight. First time there for drinks in the evening(although I do very much enjoy the coffee in the morning)we scanned in and wore our masks untill we were taken to our table. Then we had a few drinks and felt very well looked after. We will be back for sure. Thankyou Orange Cafe.

G. S. I.

Fantastic breakfast and coffee with friendly staff. Your rating should be higher than this. Will be back when passing through again.

T. A.

Amazing food, it was super packed and we still received our food in a timely manner. Staff are all lovely. Nearly been through thr entire menu and have not been let down once.

L.

Nice staff, we went in about 4.30pm for a hot drink and a cake. They only had one gluten free option, and it made me sick. 😔 The drinks were okay though. 😊

T. W.

Had the Big Breakfast, wish the sausage had not been a bread filled but rather a decent one, coffee was nothing to rave about but ok. Service was great.

J. B.

Very private, staff are wonderful thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the experience. I hope place that really should be utilised more. Come on Wanganui get together and support this lovely cafe.

C. G.

Popped in with my wife and was pleasantly surprised. The coffee was perfect, just the way I like it and I recommend the cheese scone. Nice to be welcomed with a smile from Maria who served us and was very friendly which was a nice way to start the day. I’ll be back

The ceramic lounge is the bar portion of the big orange. A very friendly bar tender, panhead apa on tap, savory food options. Don't buy the 3.9 star average. This place is awesome!

Whanganui has some great cafe, this is one of the best. Cool on a hot day with great coffee. Pleasant service in the city center. Place has changed hands a few times and is now managed by an experienced professional hospitality identity. Well done, good wishes.

R. H.

Poached eggs 10/10. Light buttery toast, free range eggs perfectly cooked, a hash brown and cherry toms a delicious surprise. A steal at $11. Thanks!

A lovely find in the middle of Whanganui. They have a very extensive menu, so it should be possible to suit most people. Service was a bit slower than expected, but well worth the wait. They also have a good range of counter food and cold drinks.

Great Location vibe and menu Food was delicious and fast service But .....it needs a good clean from the front door leaves and rubbish around the water cooler the toilet facilities look like last nights mess that still hadnt been serviced, front entrance was grubby coffee grounds all over the counter and the male barista looked like he had just rolled out of bed Take pride in your cafe guys!!

A regular Big Orange coffee and corn fritter breakfast. Highly recommended combo and personal favorite at Orange. Despite the corn fritters being borderline burnt the staff were commendable and rectified the issue without hassle.
