Patty & Andy Bornhop at L'Orange Cafe

Patty Bornhop’s story in Orange began in 1992 when she and her husband, Andy, settled into their 1960s ranch home in the Presidential Tract.  The couple raised three sons there and now enjoy life as proud grandparents, with one grandson toddling around and another on the way.

“I love that Orange is a good mix of gritty industrial, beautiful downtown, shopping and history,” says Bornhop.  “My husband grew up here and remembers walking to see movies at what is now Sonlight.”

Semi-retired, Patty works part-time for Nifty Package Company, a boutique gift-wrapping and gift-basket business with even a few celebrity customers.  She also serves as Vote Center lead at the Orange Main Library, where she enjoys meeting neighbors.

“I love Orange!”  Bornhop beams.  “People stay or they come back.  It’s amazing—generations are here.  It gives the community depth and history.”

When she’s not creating Tiffany- perfect bows, Bornhop can be found in the garden—she tends colorful flowers while Andy focuses on vegetables.

As this month’s coupon winner, Patty chose L’Orange Café and immediately cashed it in for break- fast with her husband, complete with a fresh garden omelette.  “I walked away full and happy!” she says.
