Oats & O’s — Restaurant in Town of Arcadia

It wasn’t destiny or divine intervention that brought me to Oats & Os. It was the grim realization that I’d poured the last of my Fruity Pebbles that morning and was left staring into an empty cereal box like it had betrayed me. Desperation has a way of leading to discovery, though. In this case, it led me straight to one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in upstate New York.

Oats & Os isn’t trying to reinvent the breakfast wheel. They’re just making sure it spins perfectly. The breakfast burritos are the kind of thing that restore your faith in mornings. Every bite is balanced. Eggs fluffy, cheese perfectly melted, the salsa bright enough to wake you up faster than your first sip of coffee. Speaking of coffee, they serve Imprint Coffee here, which might as well be liquid optimism. Smooth, rich, and roasted with the kind of care you can taste.

Then there are the donuts. I don’t usually editorialize about fried dough, but these deserve a love letter. They’re soft, golden, and not overly sweet. Like they were made by someone who respects what a donut should be. And the carne asada fries? They cross the line from breakfast into bliss. Perfectly seasoned beef, crispy fries that don’t surrender under the toppings, and enough flavor to make you forget you ever considered skipping lunch.

The real secret ingredient is the staff. Every single person behind the counter seems genuinely happy to see you. They remember faces, make conversation, and treat each order like it matters. That kind of attentiveness can’t be faked. It turns a great meal into a great experience.

So yes, I showed up at Oats & Os because I ran out of cereal. Just my luck, they have a Fruity...

Very cute little place, family, renovated, owned and operated. Just opened last fall but I hadn't had a chance to stop in until this morning. The name reflects the menu offerings. It's a donut shop (O's), which also serves oatmeal. Pick two of SIXTEEN possible topping choices!

ALSO available (more 'O's) is a variety of Mexican street dishes; breakfast burrit-Os

There is even a lunch menu. No O's, no oats on that, but it looks delicious - and is served anytime, in case someone wants a quesadilla or taco for breakfast. 😉

I had a blueberry cheesecake donut (or maybe it was cheesecake blueberry?) this morning, but plan to go back another day for an actual breakfast. The donut was moist and very good, with a cheescake-ish frosting.

Prices range from $2.29 for a single donut to $13.99 for a lunch plate with two tacos and a side of black beans. Most meal choices are somewhere in between, averaging $9 for a breakfast burrito and $10 or $11 for lunch.

If you are in Newark, stop in and support a great local business! It's on Route 31, across from Canal View, in the space formerly occupied by the old Byrne Dairy. THIS (and LingLings next door) are a HUGE...

My wife and I frequently stop at Oats & O's because of 4 reasons- 1. They have delicious coffee flavors ☕️, 2. Their donuts are made fresh and there are SOOO MANY options to pick from (my spouse is OBSESSED with their apple fritters) 🍩, 3. Their Overnight Oats have the best flavors 🥄 4. The Breakfast Burritos are HUGE & amazing 🌯 As someone who had a bad reaction to my first burrito more than 20 years ago, I have refused to eat one since. After seeing my wife, & even friends, try their burritos, I decided it was my turn. I'm so excited to be able to eat these from Oats & O's. My go to prior to the burrito was their Overnight Oats which is a deliciously healthy & chilly option. The staff is so friendly, patient & kind. They are very helpful & have even ran things to us in the car during snowy days when they were busy & we were waiting outside. You can't go wrong with trying this place! Be prepared to drool over the smells & sights because everything will make you want to come back for...
