A RELAXING EXPERIENCE
Our café serves a relaxed, farm-to-table lunch built around the flavors of the season. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared with fresh ingredients, best enjoyed alongside our house-made ice cream — the perfect sweet finish. We also proudly pour a curated selection of Virginia-crafted beer, cider, and wine, creating a gathering place that feels both local and inspired.

"Rapidly becoming one of our favorite spots. The view is spectacular from the orchards, to the nursery, to the meticulously manicured grounds! The staff is so helpful and gracious! The food is beyond excellent. If a staff member recommends a menu item- believe them! We are starting to return regularly and each visit exceeds our expectations!" - Barrie
Chef Paul Deigl

Grelen’s Executive Chef, a name well known throughout Orange County, is now entering his third year with us. Chef Paul brings more than 17 years of culinary expertise from his successful catering business and café, Real Food, along with a deep commitment to thoughtful, farm-to-table cuisine. A cherished local figure, he has long been part of the Grelen story — having created memorable meals for the Gregg family and countless special events over the years, including their daughter’s rehearsal dinner.
As he begins his third season in our kitchen, Chef Paul continues to shape the café’s menu with creativity, care, and a passion for showcasing fresh, seasonal ingredients. His steady presence and inspired approach have become an integral part of the Grelen experience, and we’re grateful for the heart and talent he brings to our table.
