This was my 1st time here but my friend had been here before. I ordered the tuna salad sandwich and my friend ordered the curry chicken sandwich. Both of us ordered half sandwiches, which were very generous portions, enough for a lunchtime meal. Both were such unique twists on regular chicken & tuna sandwiches that one typically gets at other establishments. The service was very fast, too. It's such a cute restaurant. My only critique is that they didn't turn the A/C on and it was hot and stuffy inside. But that won't sway me from going back there again whenever I'm in Farmington. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The staff members are nice and efficient. The food is always good- they even let you try sample spoonfuls of their soup upon request to help you decide which soup you might like to order. A little on the pricey side however but has a unique eclectic college vibe. Good little place for lunch!

This is a small business owned by an amazing hardworking woman. It is by far the best cafe in Farmington. They just moved to a new location, and it is bigger and more beautiful than the previous one. There are multiple spots for seating including outdoors. Most food items and drinks are made from scratch. They have locally brewed cold brew coffee that is just delicious. There are always different specials, soups and a variety of baked goods to choose from. There are vegetarian and vegan options including the best veggie sausage I have ever had. This place is a must if you are in Farmington! Also, my daughter works there so tip well ;)

I've been coming here for years and it's better than ever. It has a great vibe; it feels like a coffee shop. It's a great place to read or socialize. Also a real value. All servers are friendly. Food is excellent. They recently moved to a much larger space which allows people to spread out.

Wonderful experience, the decor is fun, colorful and eclectic, there's even a large fireplace in the back room, with chairs, a couch, and tables. Brad took our order, and he was so friendly and cheerful, he made my day. Vegetarian and GF options - leave out the cheese and possibly make it vegan. Sunny day, so we ate outside on the beautiful deck - all the food was delicious - I had the veggie burger on a gluten free everything bagel, and shared a gingersnap cookie with lemon frosting. I tried the Mint limeade and the strawberry hibiscus lemonade. Both very good but I preferred the strawberry, the mint was strong and good for the digestion. (My sister says this new location is much bigger than the one on Broadway.) Prices were very reasonable - my sandwich was $10, homemade lemon and limeade 3.50ish. All kinds of coffees available, and their own chai tea and golden milk. Excellent establishment!

Orange Cat Cafe in Farmington has moved!! It’s where Uno Mas used to be. Larger and has more seating same amazing food and tasty drinks. I’m adding some location pictures! It’s is sooo good. Such a funky and cute vibe. Two small outside tables and inside seating as well. They have wonderful wraps and sandwiches as well as daily soups and special that are amazingly tasty. They also have coffees and a nice tea selection. We have gone here many times and it’s great every time. There’s also free 2 hour parking on the street which is awesome.

Nice place, very friendly staff. Food was very good. They have a variety of espresso based specialty drinks as well as regular coffee and lots of tea options. Oh and the desert options are backed in house. The Apple Fritter is my favorite. This is a small place with limited seating so you may have to wait for a table or do take out. Update: March 2024 - We have visited here several times since my last review and it never disappoints. Yesterday I had the chance to try there breakfast burrito with sausage. WOW! what a treat. Hardy and full of flavor, just the right amount of there home made salsa. They have also added more seating with a new bar and some innovative rearrangement. The staff continues to be very pleasant and helpful.
