Situated in a small shopping center just outside of Historic Downtown Manassas, The Omelette Café features breakfast and lunch entrees throughout the morning and into the lunch hour.
Omelette Café features murals of trains on their walls, in a nod to Manassas’ railroad history. While the interior may appear on the smaller side, they are able to accommodate larger groups with advance notice.
The cafe opened in December 2015. Co-owner Pablo Guedara said that the owners liked the community and the location in Manassas. Family is very important to the owners, thus the decision to open only for breakfast and lunch, leaving time in the afternoons and evenings to be with their families. Their all-day breakfast options also accommodate folks who work nights and may not be up until later in the day. Breakfast will still be available for them.
On the Menu
While Omelette Café may be small in size, its menu is anything but.
On the menu are egg dishes of all kinds: omelets (of course!), eggs cooked any way you like, eggs Benedict, and more. The Omelette Café also serves pancakes, waffles, French toast, and chicken fried steak; bagels, bacon, and potatoes are also on the breakfast menu. The lunch menu includes hamburgers, sandwiches, salads, and pasta.
Customer Favorites
Guedara said that their best sellers are from the breakfast menu, including omelets, orange juice, and “Hog Heaven,” an omeletwith bacon, sausage, peppers and eggs.
A local women’s group eats at Omelette Café every month or so. Some of the members shared their favorites with Prince William Living.
Annie of Manassas said she always gets the Health Lovers meal, which includes turkey, egg whites, and fresh fruit. “It fills me up without being overwhelming. I feel like I’ve just eaten a clean meal!” she said. While this item is no longer available, there are similar dishes on the menu.
Ellen of Woodbridge said she likes the fact that she can get a two-egg omelet, while Lucy from Gainesville said she really likes their chicken-fried steak. Karen from Manassas enjoys their bagels with jam, and all the women agreed they like the orange juice. Other favorites from this group include the French toast and pancakes, along with the fresh fruit and salads.
The Omelette Café is located at 8961 Center Street in Manassas; their phone number is 703-368-0714. The Omelette Cafe is open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday; on Mondays they close at 2 p.m.
