Trying out new breakfast spots each weekend seems to have become a habit for my husband and I. We came to Oralia's but I can't remember how I first stumbled on it given we generally are not in this area often. At about 10AM on a Saturday, it was bustling. Patio was almost completely full, and we opted for indoors which had a couple tables being serviced.Ordered a couple of Latte's... Lavender and Carmel. Both came out barely warm not hot, which was disappointing BUT they were tasty and I needed caffeine. I ordered the house Omelet and my husband did the Huevos Rancheros. We both enjoyed our breakfasts, and thought it was good.Service was solid, they were busy with only 2 when we arrived taking care of tables; but they acknowledged us and did there best to take care of all customers. I liked that they brought a bottle of cold water to the table to start, big win for me. The place is really cute. I am not sure how long they have been open, but given the mixed reviews they are perhaps still working some kinks out?

Such a cute restaurant with amazing music & a great patio space. Service was 10/10 and the food was SO good. Nothing bad to say, definitely need to come back. We had the Huevos Rancheros, French Toast, Roasted Brussel Sprouts, and Prickly Pear Tea and all were a 10/10!

My partner had their signature omelet with a side of hot sauce. It was amazing. The hot sauce was hot with a dark roasted flavor. Coffee was excellent. The omelet was very tasty and nicely presented. I ordered the traditional. Never again. Two over easy eggs swimming in oil. Two flavorful, but limp bacon slices. "Potato hash" was plain old hash browns. A scant amount of toast. The homemade jam was quite good. Our server was attentive, but not intrusive. If we are ever in Tucson and return, I shall order something different.

Perfect pregame breakfast spot- lattes on the patio.Order the French toast or the guacamole toast!! You're welcome!

this eatery is a hidden gem in Tucson AZ! The ambience rivals any five star restaurant in the city! The food is superb, well above standard. No salty bacon or overcooked eggs. Artisian bread toasted to perfection with a homemade organic jam was so wonderful. My server was friendly and attentive! Oh my gosh I can't wait to come back!

Went to Oralia during the Pet parade wanted to buy a bottle of water with my dog, very well-behaved dog that marched in the parade with me I was wearing a U ofA Alumni band shirt and my dog was extremely clean and well-behaved was told I could not use the restroom at nine in the morning without buying something. They did not serve bottled water, so I bought an iced tea for 350 gave the girl a 20 and she kept $.50 as a tip gave me back $16. I realize they have a lot of homeless people, but I didn't look homeless clean and with makeup and then I had to ask someone to hold my dog on a leash while I used the restroom because I couldn't go in with my dog Nowhere, did it say no pets no dogs. Took my dog into Corbett and they were happy with her. Yes you know where I will take my business.

Huge disappointment. We were excited to try the restaurant but we should have skipped it. Many items on the menu were not available including a basic burger. Service was marginal and it wasn't crowded. We had to ask for almost everything and unfortunately the food was not good. The bean and cheese burrito was dry and bland, the buffalo chicken was okay but nothing worth coming back for and the "chicken salad" was not what we expected. Roasted pieces of chicken piled on lettuce. The fries were cold and soggy. With so many other options I'd skip this place.

Gotta admit, I was kind of worried about recent reviews describing an inconsistent restaurant but my experience seemed pretty good. Doesn't mean they aren't inconsistent, of course. - really nice green chile burrito - hotcake(s) came out kind of heavy, doughy - avocado toast is good, comes with a veritable salad on top Great service, nice patio, reasonable prices.

I went to Oralia's for the first time just for a coffee. We went first to the barista side and she recommended we go to the restaurant for coffee if we wanted to sit down, which we did. My friend's coffee came right away but my cappuccino ended up being at least a good 10 minute wait. The only pastry offered was fresh out of the oven, and yes it was delicious but considering the few clientele I was disappointed the service couldn't have been a bit more prompt. We indicated we were there just for a quick coffee. I might try it again - to give it a second chance.

I have visited Oralia twice, once about 6 weeks ago and again today. The first visit I would have rated the restaurant 5 stars. Today was a disappointment. We took friends, and the omelet was small, supposed to have 3 eggs, but I'm not sure it had 2 and the amount of cheese and other ingredients were very skimpy. The two pancakes were small barely warm, and anything but fluffy as the menu described them. In fact they were so tough that I needed a knife to cut them. The restaurant space and service were good as before, but the entrees were not good. Please work on the food preparation, I want this place to succeed!

Service was fantastic, you can grab to go but I chose to sit in their outdoor area. Which was very nice on a sunny January day. The breakfast sandwich and coffee I had were delicious! Breakfast sandwich and two coffees was $30 so while I'd definitely go back it's not a cheap breakfast.
