The Best Cafes in Orange – With Wifi
The Green Eggs (but not the ham) from Byng Street Local Store
Just four hours away from Sydney, Orange is a bit of a food and wine lovers’ paradise. And for those who love cafe culture, Orange has it by the mugful.
I’ve visited at least a dozen delightful eateries in Orange, and still have many to explore.
But for today, here’s my list of the cafes that offer free wifi… because that’s what I have needed the most when I’ve been spending time here.
At the bottom I list other faves that don’t offer wifi… hopefully they might one day.
The Best Cafes in Orange – With Wifi
Bissys Cafe – fantastic for families
Bissys Cafe
88 Warrendine St, Orange NSW 2800
www.bissyscafe.com.au
You can have an hour of wifi at a time at this lovely family-friendly cafe which has a garden with veggie patch and farm animals, plus lots of kids toys.
Byng Street Local Store
47 Byng St, Orange NSW 2800

Free wifi but they do ask you do check in on Facebook when you log in – fair enough. This is a modern and spacious cafe with an outside seating area. Can get very busy and is a bit noisy.

The Dragonfly Lounge

Free wifi for diners, plus it is very close to a Telstra Air wifi hotspot. This is a lovely second hand bookshop and small cafe, very eclectic and fun.
The Dutch Embassy in Orange
The Dutch Embassy
41 Sale Street, Orange NSW 2800

A bright and colourful cafe in the centre of Orange. Homemade cakes and light meals plus great coffee and a selection of fine teas. Love the chandelier and the paintings on the walls.

Scrumptious On Summer
142 – 146 Summer Street, Orange
www.scrumptiousonsummer.com.au/
Offering 30 minutes a day of free wifi, also close to the Telstra Air wifi hotspot. This is my favourite Orange cafes of all. It’s quirky, has an excellent menu with lots of healthy options and the staff are good fun.

Village Bakehouse website here
At the east end of the centre of Orange, this is a large cafe with the bakery within, you can see the bakers at work. there are coffees, fresh juices and all sorts of baked delights and light meals. Nice spot. Times wifi available.
