Olive

Went to Olive for a coffee and their Olive Works/big breakfast. Coffee was lovely, and the big breakfast was, well, a typical big breakfast but it was still a treat; cheese kransky was flavourful, hash brown/rosti had a crispy skin & vege were fresh. The garden area at the back of the cafe added a cosy atmosphere. The staff were friendly, and service was quick and attentive.

We visited this café twice based on a personal recommendation, and we were blown away. The decor is super fancy, rustic, and vintage. The service is outstanding and very attentive. The café is irresistibly delicious, and breakfast was incredibly tasty. There are also vegan options available. It’s a beautiful location filled with lovely details.

We enjoyed the interior design and there was a nice ambiance. The waitress was lovely. There was a small, seasonal menu but it had good options. The food was well presented. Meals were tasty and well portioned. Really enjoyed the seasoned yams. Would recommend this cool little cafe for dinner.

Beautiful courtyard at the back and staff were friendly and prompt. Was however not impressed by the food. It took a while for our food to come and when it did we expected some stunning stuff but was quite disappointed by how underwhelming the flavours and portions were. We had the the thinest slices of salmon in what seemed like a raw, unfinished blend of tomato paste and 3 slivers of tofu over a spoonful of corn. Focaccia bread with cheese was also awfully plain. We wouldn't have minded small portions or high prices if the flavour payoff was amazing but it simply was not. Everything just tasted really flat, and felt like stuff we could throw together at home. We came here because of the high reviews but wow we left both famished and incredibly perplexed at how this place garnered such high praise.

An absolute must visit for anyone who’s in the Capital! Great atmosphere with lovely staff and they even have a garden courtyard (basically unheard of in town!). Really like the eclectic, vintage. I had the most perfect poached eggs on a thick piece of buttery sourdough and fresh avocado. Coffee is also fantastic, and they even offer coconut milk. 10/10

Went for lunch. I had free range eggs on toast with spinach and gluten free toast, quite pricey for it. See the picture. Salmon was not available when we were there. Pasta with lamb ragu was tasty and fair price. Well located in Cuba Street, busy at lunch time. Cakes at fair cost. Friendly staff.

Good mood great vibe. Service also nice. When they work with smile. I ate meatball with tomato something. In my opinion a little bit expensive. But so quickly serve for food to us. All good thank you

After hearing lots of great reviews and seeing some incredible photos of Olive on Cuba St, I finally stopped by to give it a go. The outdoor seating area was beautiful and the service was great, however I was slightly let down my the food - it felt like someone I could just make at home for 1/4 of the price. I thought the bircher muesli was quite flavourless, and was literally just oats soaked in milk, topped with some fruit, less than one teaspoon of coconut yoghurt and a small drizzle of maple syrup. Also, the bowl was so large and shallow to depict you that it’s a lot of food, but in reality the portion was tiny, and overall the meal barely lined the edges of my tummy. I was still ravenous afterwards. We also ordered the eggs montreal with smoked salmon, of which she also agreed tasted like it could have been recreated at home within minutes. The english muffins were very small as you can see and there was very little hollandaise!! The eggs were poached to perfection though. She said it was yummy however probably not worth $25. I cannot fault the service we received whatsoever, however we just thought the food was quite mid, mediocre and didn't really "wow" us.
