Olive's

Great place to hang. A chill space, great coffee and since the cafe is at the corner of the street, you can simply sit anywhere and look over to people watching or just zone out looking at cars passing by. The music selection was great too. Staff are super friendly!

It’s Tribeca’s version of Cheers…where everyone knows your name. You can call me Norm. Lol. Seriously the best coffee in Triburbia.

One of the best new additions to the City from the legends on Prince St. food has always been top notch. Now the coffee and beer offerings have very few competitors in town. Just a fun Tribeca hang off the River

Where locals hang. They used to be in the Brookfield mall, but are now in a super cute corner space in the best part of TriBeCa. Staff are super friendly, food is great and varies regularly, and they source a range of delicious specialty espressos.

great coffee shop for the area... very relaxing, lots of seats. looking forward to go check out the beers in the evening (the craft beer selection looks dope)

We stopped in for drinks while wandering around the area, solely based on Olive being our cat’s name. This place is really cute and my husband and I really enjoyed ourselves. Drinks were great and the staff and owner are super awesome!

Walked in at the end of the day wanting soup and Nick was an absolute doll. This place is really cute and the staff is personable. OH AND NOT TO MENTION THE VIEWS!!!

Mid coffee. Breakfast burrito looked and tasted like it was ready made and microwaved. Nice space me though.

Rip off .... Ordered grilled yellow fin tuna steak with grilled onions, wasabi mayo on a brioche... it literally turned out to be a pre made cold burger. Not sure how long it must have been sitting out. I was expecting a freshly grilled warm tuna steak over a brioche bun and sides. Paid $17 (tax plus tip) for this cold, salty and tasteless meal. It's click and bait. How they present it on the menu versus what you get is a joke. Pictures included for reference. Off my list forever.

Had a nice lunch here overlooking the marina. The quiche was tasty, maybe a little too much egg and not enough filling. The salad was abundant and I actually enjoyed the slab of melon that was included. They had a nice selection of beers too.

Line can be slow, but they make a damn good latte! Surprisingly reasonably priced as well. Also surprising is how good their craft beer selection is!

Line was long but it went by very quickly because the sandwiches are premade. Because they're premade, you can't get half of certain sandwiches or make any substitutions.

Mediocre service and poor communication. I called in 5 minutes ago to reserve a sea salt popular cookie (I was successful), showed up to retrieve it 5 minutes later and was told it was sold. It's not a big deal to most, but a big deal for me considering the time wasted and how much I love the cookie. I called to avoid wasted time. Not cool.

Ordered a turkey sandwich and it was literally handed to me the moment I paid for it. Not fresh made and tiny. Didn't take a picture of it because I was starving and ate it before I could finish but I see outer people posted a pic of the smallest sandwich in NYC. Soda, chips, and a pre-made sandwich for $18.99. I could have made a better sandwich - even Subway and Togos would have this place beat. WTF. Eat somewhere else.

One of the very few breakfast options available in BFPL. This is essentially the best option within the building. I ordered their #1 Olive's Egg Sandwich ($10.50), which consisted of two eggs scrambled with Sautéed Leeks and Asparagus, Vermont Sharp Cheddar, and Chicken Apple Sausage on a Pizza Bianca Roll. Although the sandwich is really tasty, it does not justify its premium price tag, despite the fancy ingredients it lists.

Liberty St: the newbies working there are sweet, friendly, professional etc. The older/more senior lady - who is pretty much always there, unf - is the epitome of passive aggression, bad manners, and groundless hostility. Don't be a jerk to your customers - why would you continue opting for that kind of behavior?

I agree with the other negative reviews. I've been here many times as I work nearby, and I always have a frustrating experience. In a sea of overpriced food and coffee options, this place has to be the worst. Not only is the food mediocre but the service is sooooo bad. They have so many workers, yet it takes upwards of 20 minutes to get a hot tea. The workers are never in any particular rush, no matter how long the line is. And don't dare ask for an update on your order. You're met with a very unpleasant response. I definitely wouldn't recommend.

This is one of the few brookfield place coffee spots and is run by an independent coffee shop owner they have two locations in battery park. They have some very tasty coffee. In addition to the coffee overings they make fresh sandwhiches and egg sandwhiches. What also makes this place nice is that they constantly change their menu by offering new daily items on the menu to keep you guessing. It is a little bit on the high cost side but that is what you get from brookfield place and from an independent owner. This coffee cafe is part of my work week coffee rotation and I suggest you try it. In short: - Good coffee - A little pricey - Unique fresh cooked food items - Drink coffee and eat overlooking the hudson

Nice and quick for small time eating. Lunch break is so rushing, lots of people on the line and it went fast. I had noodles salad, too tasteless but I have no another choice.

Pretty good, but quite overpriced. I got a soup and half sandwich - after tax and a 10% tip, my total came out to $16. That's absolutely absurd, considering my half sandwich was TINY and poorly put together. It was very difficult to eat as it was basically falling apart. That being said, the ingredients they use are definitely fresh and taste good. I just don't think I can justify spending this much on such little food... I would've had to spend $20+ if I got a full sandwich and soup! Crazy!

Tried the $4.00 "triple chocolate chip cookie with sea salt" - in a word: overpriced. Cookie was far too flat with no chew, chocolate flavors were singular, and overall, taste was - 2.5, texture a 2, value for money a 1. Go uptown to Schmackarys or Levain for much much better cookies at half the price and triple the taste. P.S. the server was nice and friendly though.

Neat place, very organized, lots of yum pastries. The cold brew is strong! Staff are super friendly and helpful.

Walked over at 9 am on a Saturday to get some plain croissants only to be told they sold all the croissants in bulk to a person who showed up earlier. I think they should have a limit for a single person purchase so they can serve all their customers.

The namesake sandwich, at $10.50, didn't provide the size or flavor that I would have expected. The really good ingredients like the provolone competed for attention with the abundant lettuce. It was pre-made which is great for convenience but not so much for the food.

Im absolutely obsessed with this olives along with their second location in SoHo. I actually just wrote a review for their SoHo store because of how much I loved it. They staff is amazingly nice and awesome. I also am obsessed with the food, everything on their menu is made with such care and they truly want to serve their costumers the best. I am suprised to see any negative reviews at all, but I guess people like to complain.. Anyways, Olives in both locations are my go to spots and I would definitely go if I were you. From breakfast through lunch they serve the best meals and writing this review is actually making me want to go there now!!!

Seems like one of the less popular vendors at Brookfield Place during lunch. They probably get more people for breakfast. For lunch they sell primarily pre-made cold sandwiches, soup, and salad. I actually quite like the Roasted Shiitake Mushroom sandwich, which contains oven dried tomatoes with cress and herb ricotta on a sourdough baguette. The sandwich has decent amounts of each ingredient. I love the creamy ricotta, tangy tomatoes, and texture from the cress and mushrooms. The combination creates a very light and tasty sandwich. It's even better if you toast it in the oven first. I also tried their Stirato Baquette with Roasted Turkey, Gravy, Cranberry Sauce, and Romaine. They usually have this around Thanksgiving as a special. The flavors definitely remind you of Thanksgiving with the cranberry and gravy, but the texture is offputting because they use ground turkey which turns into a mushy mess. Definitely not as good as their shiitake mushroom sandwich.

I've worked in Hudson Eats for almost 2 years and pass by this place all the time, yet I've only ever gotten espresso, coffee, or their cool nitro (nitrogen coffee) drink. Today I actually went with the smoked turkey sandwich which was recommended by Luna. The description doesn't describe anything ingenious, just a plain ol' turkey bacon sandwich. But it's actually a really tasty sandwich. The bacon is cooked perfectly - not too crispy and not too chewy. The turkey isn't skimped and stays true to its name with the smokiness. There were a lot of things in this sandwich, so for it to hold together during the entire meal was impressive (for me at least :D) Now, don't get me wrong, this isn't the best sandwich I've ever eaten in my life, but you've gotta appreciate the good ingredients they put in there. If you're around the area, come by for a tasty sandwich made with fresh ingredients, oh and great quality coffee! Definitely coming up with an update of other things on the menu!

I really forgot the name of this sandwich but it was delicious!!!! This was my first time in New York and thanks to the food I left even more happy back to Miami!!

I want to applaud the Olives team for remaining open & providing sustenance to the workers of Brookfield Place. The coffee is outstanding & the best in the area by far, breakfast & lunch sandwiches are fresh & tasty with interesting combinations, plus there's a great range of soups & salads. Thank you Olives!!

We walked by with a belly full of sushi but I was hankering hard for something sweet. Michelle overheard us joking that dessert was just too much at the moment and interjected "U talking about the ring dings!?" Um, no... but now she's got our, well definitely mine- "what is a ring ding". Michelle pointed to little biscuits wrapped in foil, like I would or should know them. "They are just the perfect chocolate cakes with vanilla in the middle." Ok she had me at chocolate cake. And perfect. Or just at cake. But perfect chocolate cake with vanilla?! I cannot even discern- is she speaking English? As if on cue, my companion has a light bulb moment, "oh, it's one of the hostess desserts... u never had a ring ding? Like a ho-ho?" Oh, that. As if sensing my hesitance, Michelle goes "u know what? Here, I'm gonna let u try it." Giddy as a school girl, I love trying and being given samples. As she open and cut, Sam was completely right- it's one of the indistinguishable childhood white wrapper deli treats for about 75 cents. "No, that's too much, just half of that!" As Michelle insisted I take a quarter of the ring ding to try. Once in my mouth, it's an entirely different story. The chocolate is like a soft crumbling shell upon contact, only comprising of the lightest, moistest, airy, devil's food cake folded around a dollop of vanilla cream. The entire bite was light and barely sweetened as if to let the chocolate be the first and last taste in your mouth. I had one bite... and that was all it took. This is no regular ring ding from PS130. This is baker's genius at play. I reminded my friend of what he said to me a long time ago about the perfect slice. "Everyone has their local favorite pizzeria. But the best slice is the one that has the perfect proportion of good bread to sauce to cheese ratio." - (Sam P. ) I am quoting my friend here. That is the Ring Ding, the dessert u never knew existed that will blow your mind when proportioned perfectly. *i think I must have used perfect 6 times in 150 words*

Love this place! I wish they were on Ritual/Grubhub though. There are always long lines. Also wish they didn't use tea bags with plastic satchels. Heating plastic releases carcinogens.

First and last time at Olive's. Way, way, way over priced. Ordered the Smoked Turkey sandwich with 2 bottles of water. Had I known the sandwich would have been on plain white bread, I would have saved my $18.57 and made it at home. Very disappointed. P.S. make your own sandwich at home. Not worth it.

I love me some Olives matcha and avocado toast but it's disappointing that the team is not consistent with how they make it. Nick makes the perfect blend of match and immerses the honey into the matcha as opposed to squeezing the honey to the bottom of the cup. The avocado toast during the week is perfectly toasted but on the weekends it is NOT toasted at all. This is my go to in the morning it's just disappointing to know I'd get something different each time I go.

The owner, Nick, is awesome. Very caring. Very thoughtful. For me food is about the people and if it's being served and created by people like Nick it's got my rating.

I once ordered a salad here. That was a mistake. 10 minutes and $10 later, I finally received 7 huge chunks of romaine, a sprinkle of parmesan, and a plastic capsule of generic gloop. I then spent another 10 minutes trying in vain to coat my caesar-chunks with dressing, using just the undersized container (not even bowl shaped) and the fork they forgot to give me (had to go back). In the end, some of the luckier bites tasted fine, sort of. But why pay money to a restaurant for that?

Terrible. Rude service. Overpriced. Sourdough bread was overcharred. Caesar dressing like water. $50 in the trash.

Not only are the people that work here rude, they gave me the wrong sandwich, after I confirmed with them twice. If you want a sandwich go Le district people are nice and the food is better.

So many staffers yet so little productivity. Took forever to even order, let alone get rung up for, their ginger lemon frostie, which I didn't know the price or name of due to mismatched signs near the 2 registers, one of which you can't actually pay at. The $4.36 Dessert (On receipt as 'The Cookie Monster') had a very awkward texture, basically the middle ground between a ginger snap and a soft ginger cookie, but frosting almost saved it.

I stopped here twice Thursday. Love the fact there is plenty of seating and the coffee isn't too shabby. Second time round a gentleman came up and asked how my soy latte was. ..I didn't really look up and just answered truthfully that it could have beeen hotter. Oh boy i realise its the guy that served me . He introduces himself as the owner we engage in some chit chat about coffee and buisness. Next thing I know a new hot coffee appears on my table from another member of staff compliments of the house. Now that's good customer service.

Guilt tipping. The fact that they even ask for a 20% off your credit card for a 2 minute visit at the countet after i grab my own salad off the shelf is reprehensible.

Olive's is fantastic on multiple levels: Coffee, Staff, and Food. Coffee: These guys truly care about coffee and want to make sure you enjoy your experience. The Stumptown beans are great. Their espresso drinks are well made and their variety of single origin coffees is great. The cold brew is perfect during warmer weather. Generally speaking, Howie and Nick and the staff really care about the coffee. Staff: The folks working at Olive's are awesome. Howie or Nick are always down to talk to you about the coffee (or anything else on your mind). On numerous occasions they've taken the time to brew something special for me, so that I could try something new. Instead of the ennui you often find at Soho and Williamsburg coffee shops, Howie, Nick, and the rest of the staff want their customers to feel welcomed and leave happy. I really can't say enough about the folks that run Olive's. Food: Their breakfast sandwiches and pastries are awesome. The bread used for their sandwiches is fresh and delicious. Check out their Morning Bun, it's awesome. 5 stars for Olives. If there was a 6th star, they'd get it too.

IMHO this is THE best soy latte you can get ANYWHERE, in ANY borough of NYC. This is coming from a fussy Australian who has scoured the city (and BK) for the perfect cup. It's taken a while for the "artisanal" coffee (back home this is how we drink our coffee, none of us would stoop to a Dunkin Doughnuts, even a chippie would pick up a flat white at the crack of dawn on the way to site) to increasingly become the norm here. When Howie (Howard the barista) hands over my double shot soy latte my eyes literally roll back in my head with relief and delight. In a city where orgasmic coffee moments are few and far between, (much like my NYC dating moments), I feel incredibly blessed Olive's opened up right downstairs from my work. This is my savior, this is my coffee church. NB: Runner ups in this city include: Abraco, EV (they do NOT offer soy); Stumptown on 8th and MacDougal, WV; Ninth Street Espresso, WV; and Lunitas, Clinton Hill, BK.

This is located on the second floor in the mall by the Time Inc. building and stands at the entrance of the Hudson Eats suite. It's tiny and I was surprised at the number of folks who were crowded behind the counter taking orders, pouring coffee, and making breakfast. They make big brekkie sandwiches and basic coffee with milk. The egg, ham, and cheese sandwich I got was so massive I could only eat half, which value-wise, was excellent as I ate it for lunch too. The staff are speedy and know everyone has got to rush off to work so they're diligent. And the cute part is, even in this mall location, they know their regulars and their orders. I like Olive a lot.

I work nearby and regularly get breakfast at Olive's. They make amazing breakfast sandwiches. I always get the Everyday Special with bacon, Vermont sharp cheddar, and eggs. It's so good. So tasty. I literally have dreams about this sandwich. And the coffee is amazing too. BEWARE!! Olive's is a bit on the pricey side.

Don't bother. Not only is the food disappointing for the price, the service is awful! So so rude and condescending. I even spoke to the manager who gave me even more of an attitude. Not accommodating to my dietary restrictions whatsoever. Way better places to have lunch in Broomfield than here.

Went here to grab a bite to eat after walking around the city on a Sunday. After checking out the menu, I decided to go with the noodles with peanut sauce and veggies. It was pretty good, though I would have loved if they did not have them prepackaged. Nevertheless, it was still pretty tasty and a good size for the price.

I really like Olives in Soho. They just moved to a bigger space, which is terrific. Mwah! This Olives doesn't have the oldworld charm that the original has. But I still get a great sandwich (Shitake is my fav) and cake whenever I'm in the area. The coffee is pretty good too. I think they sell CounterCulture, but I could be wrong. I also had a Caesar salad that was good last week. So, check out this place.

I love Olive's coffee! I have worked in Brookfield place for nearly 2 years now and their coffee never disappoints. Occasionally there are some mishaps with my order, but when you are coming on a daily basis it's to be expected and the staff works very hard to make sure they are taking care of you. Howie is great to chat with while you wait for your order and ALL the barista's know how to make a great drink. Though there is usually a crowd (about 10 places serve coffee in the Brookfield Place/Hudson Eats area, most people choose to come here) it is well worth the wait and it is usually less than 5 minutes. For the regular customers, they even remember if you like to add sugar to your drink and either leave it uncapped for you when you pick it up, or if you are someone that likes to grab it and go they remember to put a cap and sleeve for you. Now that's attention to detail!

I'm so glad to see that Olives open up a new place in Battery Park City! In my opinion, you cannot find this kind of quality and freshness at any sandwich shop in New York City. Aside from freshness and great quality, the amount of "stuff" put between the bread exceeds all other gourmet sandwich shops. You won't leave with hiccups generated from a ubiquitous dry lunch sandwich. If there happened to be a "sandwich scale of standards" where we're judging the proportion of "stuff" to the bread (on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest) I rate Olives at 5. BTW, the bread is absolutely fantastic. Try the avocado, cheddar and sprouts sandwich! Try the chipotle-rubbed steak sandwich! Get a cowboy cookie for dessert along with some iced coffee. Toni and Nick are the owners and they are wonderful. Stay away from dry "jury duty" turkey sandwiches" and spend the same money at Olives for freshness, quality, and quantity. Prices are very reasonable.

A great place in the winter garden on the second floor. Good coffee and sandwiches and the most pleasant people in the food court.

I came here for the first and last time. I ordered a simple caesar salad. It came with no croutons tomatoes and the cheese was just slapped on top of the lettuce. It came with not enough dressing and I had to pay .82 for extra dressing on top of the salad already being $9.25. I thought it would taste fresh. It was the worst money spent. Duane Reade salads are better. This place was Over priced and not good. If you're going to charge that much be a decent place and at least make sure it tastes good and add some croutons you cheapos! This place sucks!

Lemonesso Lemonesso Lemonesso Ohh yeah their breakfast sandwiches scones and corn muffins

There is no rule bending in this place. If you ask them not to include the bread with the bacon and egg breakfast sandwich, they won't do it. After ordering more than $50. worth of food I asked for a glass of water. I was told they only have hot water, they do not have cold water. I asked why and was told the owner instructed them to turn off the cold water because too many people were asking for water. Yeah, nothing is as annoying as customers asking for water. Ridiculous

I love Olive's! I should preface this by saying -- this is strictly a coffee and sweets review. When I'm in the mood for some coffee, I headed to Olive's. When everyone else is going to Starbucks, I'm headed to Olive's. I have never had a bad experience with there. Their coffee is always on point. They use Stumptown, which is amazing coffee, and Olive's knows how to brew it to perfection! The treats are oversized so you might get more than you originally bargained for but that's not a complaint by any means. I normally get the iced coffee with almond milk and have tried both the decaf and regular -- both are great! Definitely stop by if you are in Brookfield Place. I prefer it over any of the other coffee places in there-- Starbucks, Financier, Le District, Black Seed Bagel, Tartinery. Enjoy!

I work at american express and come down to olives fairly often. Aside from the delicious food and coffee, the staff is fantastic. They are so friendly and make a point of getting to know their clientele - they'll remember your name and favorite order... One of those things that sets this place apart from the national chain coffee shops.

The coffee is good & their home made ring ding is fantastic... worth the $5. I even missed my train to get one.

Order a medium tea, you get one tea bag. Order a large tea and you still get just one tea bag. So you pay more for a watered down tea. And if you ask for another tea bag....nope. Customer satisfaction isn't priority. You still just get weak tea. Wish I had gone to Starbucks
