Orlean Market

I was heading back home after visiting a winery and decided to go a different route than the way I came in - for exploration purposes - when I came across The Orlean Market.

Being somewhat hungry, I ventured in to see what potential food glories were contained within. They have a small Deli area - you can get breakfast sandwiches as well as traditional lunch sandwiches.

I ordered something I've not had in a very long time - a Bologna sandwich! On a nice Rye bread with cheddar, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onion. I got it to go and ate in the car. While this might seem like a mundane sandwich to order - it was really good and hit the spot!

This is also a small convenience store - so you can get basic food staples here: canned goods, chips, milk, soda, water, and more.

The young lady working the counter was very nice and friendly.

The one thing I will ding them for is their restroom - it had a strong mildew odor.

I'm part of a bike as in bicycle riding group (Potomac Pedlars) and when you've just ridden 16 miles up and down hills in upper 20 degree weather plus wind chill, you are hungry.

The Orlean store was unpretentious and was still serving breakfast (with some other people eating great-looking biscuits) at approx. 1:0p Sunday when we went in.  They are also a country store.  A very helpful couple (not sure of names) operate the deli.  Their sandwiches were extremely reasonably priced (at least compared to Fairfax County) and their owner is super-friendly in a good way.

The only problem is that I lost a set of keys around there.  Don't be like me - keep your keys in your hand!  

Anyway, they have hot tea, coffee, cappochino (a machine) and have bottled wine which of course we did not have.

Nice people, nice place!

Great place for a quick Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner. Had breakfast last Sunday. The Sunrise Special has 2 eggs cooked how you like, choice of meat, and fresh potatoes as hash browns. You can choose your own drink from the large cooler in the market. Or if you want coffee, there is a self service coffee area. I've also been here for lunch. The steak and cheese sandwich is very good.  There is large selection of deli sandwiches, different burgers, soups, pasta & veggie salads. There is  fresh deli to buy by the pound as well. I am looking forward to warmer weather so we can have a bottle of wine on the outside patio with some friends.  Great little place if you're ever near Orlean. It's a 15-20minute drive from Warrenton.  There is also a gas station.
