"Austin “Austinites have long been familiar with Olamaie’s off-menu biscuits. One time I traded a friend three leftover biscuits for a really nice kayak paddle. So when Olamaie had to temporarily close their dining room, they pivoted to a biscuit-based takeout concept called Little Ola’s. And these are not just plain biscuits. Little Ola’s made a brand new menu of biscuit sandwiches, stuffed with things like country ham and cheese, or deep-fried chicken thighs. Now, my favorite element of the Olamaie experience - previously reserved for anniversaries, birthdays, and kayak paddle trades - can transform average weekends into great ones.” -Nicolai McCrary, Austin Staff Writer" - team infatuation
"Olamaie’s famous fluffy biscuits gained their own shop as a pandemic pivot. Try the biscuit with thin-sliced ham and melty cheese or the one with pimento cheese and tomato jam. Pickup and DoorDash delivery orders can be placed online, and there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell
"Southern restaurant Olamaie’s biscuit shop iteration is baking up king cakes for the season. The brioche/lemon cakes come with brown sugar cream cheese, colorful glazes, and nonpareils sprinkles. Pickup orders have to be placed online with pickups available through Tuesday, February 13. And then the bakery is also offering king cake slices for in-person orders." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Best Pandemic Pivot Turned Permanent Shop of 2021 Early in the pandemic, Southern restaurant Olamaie pivoted into the fast-causal lane as a biscuit takeout service when dine-in services weren’t safe in 2020. And then the team smartly turned that into a full-grown physical cafe in the Wells Branch neighborhood July of 2021. The menu makes ample use of those wonderful biscuits a la carte or as sweet or savory sandwiches. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
