Olga's Kafe

Stopped in at Olgas for a coffee. Ended up getting a piece of blueberries coffee cake and cinnamon crumb cake for the wife. Both were fantastic - moist and flavorful. Got an iced coffee with cream (i like it simple). Coffee is good and strong! The place was bustling and very busy but they kept it moving quickly. A quite little cafe in south Boston. Will likely be back!

Got an avocado toast with bacon and a medium black coffee. Total was $18 somehow. No price on the menu for the avocado toast might be where I went wrong. Toast was burnt and had maybe 1/2 an avo on it. Coffee was good, would come back for the coffee probably not the food

Olga’s Kafé is this amazing little coffee shop hiding in plain sight. And by hiding, I mean it is busy a lot and hard to miss. The line was solid for over an hour, yet the patrons were chill and the staff was a well-oiled machine of efficiency and precision. We were lucky enough to get there in between rushes, so we got a front-row seat to the hive of activity. Part of the magic was the ease of ordering and the competent, professional employees. There was no wasted motion as cup after cup was filled and served. Customers were actually patient, despite the heavy volume. This helps immensely, as we all know how one bad apple can ruin the experience for both customers and employees. But everyone was super relaxed as they waited to be served. Outside are some bistro tables and chairs so you can enjoy the view of a busy Boston street. Parking wasn’t bad, but you can get caught up in the traffic flow and end up a few blocks further away than you wanted to be. Olga’s Kafé makes a prime cup of coffee, cappuccino, etc. Their food choices are very yummy, too. Pop by during your visit to Boston for a unique and pleasant experience.

This place is a really nice cafe with great pricing and atmosphere! I got a pumpkin spice latte and sausage & egg bagel; the latte was really good, although there is a lot of ice in there. The staff is very nice and I would come back again :)

Stopped in to pick up a morning coffee. The place now serves food and the interior has changed so it feels more like a cafeteria. I ordered a cortado and the person who took my order had to ask another staff if they make cortados. My drink was just average but at least they got the milk and balance right.

Recently stopped by Olga's for a large order for my staff at work. Everyone was extremely friendly, efficient and I can't say enough about how wonderful the customer service is. They have numerous options for coffee lovers and our orders are always consistent and made to perfection! Such a wonderful addition to the South Boston community!

Good coffee and pastries as well as bagels. If traveling outside of Boston plan your parking ahead.

Don't get the 4.7 hype, it's mediocre coffee at near Oregon mermaid chain prices, with rude staff, no vibe inside and I guess you need to ask for napkins for takeout :| Based on owner's reply, I guess they don't spend much time hanging around by the door to hear how the kitchen staff talk to customers or yell at each other.

Awesome neighborhood spot, you feel so welcomed right when you walk in! Great coffee and food with great service. Love the outside tables to sit.

Honest review - see photo. Breakfast sandwich is 8 bucks - one weird egg, a bagel that couldn't be more plain and basic (think Thomas brand in the grocery store), and what seems like a frozen sausage patty. Seemed very low quality for the cost especially considering other options around. Ice Coffee was also very, very mediocre. Also got a hash brown that was cold and soggy. Reached out to inquire about quality, no response.

Breakfast blend coffee was great and food tasted good. Breakfast sandwich on English Muffin was a very large bread with tiny egg and one bacon. Tasted good, just didn't seem the best value.

I got a Blue Raspberry Rickey which is a pretty cool and unique menu item to offer. It came out looking really pretty and tasting really good so I have no complaints. The little patio tables out on the sidewalk are a nice touch to enjoy your drink out on. I just wish their mobile order platform wasn't so glitchy so I could order on there before I arrive.

The food is not bad. Even though the grilled cheese is a bit different than what I expected, the taste is not bad. Just a bit salty to my taste. The indoor dining is horrible because their ventilation is horrible. The oily smell is everywhere and at the end, our eyes felt uncomfortable. After getting out of the restaurant, all of my clothes and my hair smell like oil. It's bad to dine in. They do have tables outside on the sidewalk though. And a lot of people come here for breakfast.

August 2024 - we just came in from Florida and are staying at the Aloft Hotel. We walked over this morning for breakfast, it was worth it. The coffee and breakfast sandwiches were great. Nice service too. Try it, you'll like it.

I highly recommend grabbing coffee and food here! The energy is awesome. You will feel right at home when you walk in. The coffee is incredibly good with all new flavors each month. There is also space and Wi-Fi to get work done or catch up with locals and friends. I love it here!

Best place in town. The flavors are flavorful but not syrupy sweet. I love the lucky charms. It's a good thing I don't live too close because I would waste all my money on coffees and their delicious bfast sandwiches.

Such a cute stop for a coffee shop!!! Food: I had a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel, but it tasted a bit hard rather than fresh. The cheese was very melty, but the rest of the sandwich didn't taste as fresh. Drinks: I had a snickerdoodle iced latte! So fun! I actually really like that they had so many options for iced coffee drinks. I would say their iced coffee drinks were maybe better than the food! Ambiance: there's a lawn-like evergreen overlay on the wall and a neon sign that says but first coffee! So a little cheesy, but I think it was cute. There's also outdoor seating. The inside was packed on a Saturday at noon.

Super cute spot but cooks did not pay attention to detail. We watched them give accidentally give out a gluten wrap to a gluten-free customer. We ordered 1 chicken bacon ranch sandwich and 1 chicken honey mustard sandwich but instead received 2 chicken bacon ranch ones. I typically do not eat pork so this was frustrating, as my sandwich was covered in bacon when I only wanted chicken.

Excellent! Olga's is such a refreshing neighborhood experience, she knows all of her regulars by name, after coming in twice she knew my order and prepared it quickly and perfectly. she always offers what's new for flavors and they are all delicious. fresh sandwiches prepared in the cleanest space it's not hard to understand why it's always packed. the line always moves quickly and it being a woman owned business makes me happy to support this authentic South Boston coffee shop. try the chocolate hazelnut you will LOVE it

Didn't love my latte (should've asked for less sweet) BUT the fast WiFi, abundant work space, access to outlets, and staff made up for it - would happily go back and just get drip coffee

Olga's is great! A must try And you'll definitely go back. Great neighborhood spot.

So delicious! Friendly staff a nice addition to the area. Parking is a pain but service is quick to just run in and out fast enough

Excellent service, Fantastic Coffee, wonderful atmosphere and the staff are always pleasant. I Highly recommend grabbing a breakfast sandwich and a coffee.

The owner Olga herself, treats her customers and employees terribly. As I ordered my coffee and food for my kids, she was very rude. It was too small of a space for that many people, felt over crowded and unsafe. I would not take your children there, not family friendly. 0 out of 10 experience.

Big menu with lots of options and availability for modifications. The breakfast sandwiches are always very good. Our favorite part about Olga's is how quick and friendly all the staff are! The people alone are worth it!

A great local cafe run by a woman. I like to support women owned businesses. Go check it out. We had flavored iced coffee, and a banana nut muffin. Terrific out door seating in bright orange tables perks up the street!

My husband stopped in to order takeout breakfast sandwiches for himself and my son. I am gluten-free so I thought I could go for the breakfast salad. There really wasn't a description on the website, but it was noted that you could add avocado, feta, and sliced onions. I asked my husband to see what the menu said in the cafe and to pass on it if it seem weird. I also asked him to add feta. There was no real description of the dish in the cafe, but he went for it anyway with feta. When he arrived home it was a small salad of quartered tomato slices, huge chunks of cucumber, and onion slices with an overcooked fried egg on top. No feta. There were dried spices sprinkled on the dish. No dressing. It was so weird. I guess it is called a breakfast salad because there is a fried egg over a dry "salad." The menu needs more clarification on the website and in the cafe. Eggs should be specified as fried or scrambled. My son thought his breakfast sandwich was waaaay too bready. It seems like a popular spot and the shop looks really cute. I would seek clarification about what you are ordering before you order.

These 1 star reviews are a joke! Olga is awesome and the Kafe has great breakfast sandwiches. She's definitely not rude. Toughen up y'all!

Lady behind the counter was extremely rude. Felt like I was being yelled at the entire time I was waiting for my order. Heard several other customers saying the same thing. Coffee was decent and the food was average. Wouldn't return solely because of the customer service

Excellent breakfast sandwiches and coffee. This is my go-to neighborhood spot for weekend take-out breakfast. The location is very clean, has indoor and outdoor seating and the staff are efficient and helpful. I usually order online using the Clover app via the restaurant website.

Best coffee in southie Olga is one of the best owners there and her workers are very kind

Woman preparing food was horribly rude, I was waiting for my online order standing by the counter minding my business. I was called a bozo and told to sit down and wait. The service matched the terrible coffee and bagel! Hope she can cheer up.

Friendly service but awful coffee. Tasted burnt and watery and legitimately the worst cup I've had.

Love this place. All three times i've been in the staff has been friendly, funny and efficient. The lattes are great, only had iced so far, and they have oat milk and other milk alternatives. The muffin I had was moist and the chocolate in the chocolate croissant was very good quality. Breakfast sandwhiches can come on many different types of bread but I had a bagel and it was perfect. They also have an these great treats and drinks from what-i-assume-to-be Greece. Can't go wrong with this place.

I totally agree with the reviews. This is definitely a gem. The hot coffee is great and the iced coffees just fly out of there so I tried it and I agree. There are dozens of flavors and it's not a flavor shot so it's more subtle and less sugar. The breakfast sandwiches are freshly made and delicious. I go there weekly for a sausage egg and cheese, and both the bagel and English muffin are terrific. I don't know where she gets her English muffins but it's really really good. And Olga is always there watching everything like a hawk. She didn't like the way my iced coffee looked and remade it. She's great. I love this place. And now she does soft serve ice cream too!

My hubby and I get coffee here practically every morning. Best iced coffee I've ever had (delicious flavors with no added sugar)! I highly recommend Olga's. If you're in the area, check them out. They have coffees, sandwiches, pastries, etc. I absolutely love supporting local businesses and this is a great one!

Great place, great coffee and the owner is fantastic! My only complaint would be that there is no menu hanging on the wall when you walk in but won't bring this rating down. Best coffee is southie hands down!
