Lovely staff, quick service and delicious food

No beans, no toast and I specifically requested well done egg no yolk!! What I got was a runny egg! What a joke and to top it off it’s cold!

Smiling face, conversation, delicious and satisfying presentation, it was a nice experience, thank you very much 🙏🏻

What a lovely welcoming space, always feel welcomed, and looked after, with library of books for adults and children. True hospitality and warmth. Generous portions, nurturing food. I come in to work, while my little one in school nearby, and it’s great to have working wifi as well as cozy space to be.

Food- absolutely delicious and home cooked. Gozleme are very nice, as are the meze. Great value. Little tip- try the cakes, they aren’t a focus on the menu, but they are homemade and well worth saving a little space for.

Really lovely cafe! Food was great and lovely decor☺️

Went with 4 mates and we were all so impressed. Had a Caesar salad with chips and a caramel iced latte. Service was fast and owners are super nice and lovely. Great presentation and lots of food! My new fave cafe in Hornsey!

Super tasty food, very friendly and accommodating staff, super clean and lovely interior. Portions were great and food was fresh and hot! Large menu meant there was something for all different dietary requirements! Would highly recommend

The best brunch spot in Hornsey hands down! Portions are large and delicious, the staff are very friendly and the service is quick. The atmosphere is very laid back and cosy! We love it every time we come in!

Lovely food ,friendly staff , warm atmosphere. I loved it.

El’s Olive Cafe is a delightful hidden gem nestled in Hornsey. This small business offers not only exceptional coffee but also boasts a menu filled with delicious treats. The staff's friendly demeanor creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making every visit a pleasurable experience. The service is prompt, and the attention to detail in both food and presentation is commendable. Whether you're seeking a cozy spot to work or catch up with friends, El’s Olive Cafe is a fantastic choice. It's a testament to the charm of local businesses, and I highly recommend giving it a try!

We had a delicious brunch here, I wholeheartedly recommend this place. Delicious food, great value for money. The owner, El, is very friendly. We’ll definitely be returning!

Excellent food and excellent service

A small, (cosy?) cafe with good cooking and good service from people excited by their new venture. They do some turkish snacks and dishes and also very good breakfasts and very decent coffee. I just had avocado and poached eggs on sourdough toast. The avocado was ripe, the eggs well cooked, the bread good and a beautiful little fresh salad came with it with red cabbage and all sorts. A very welcome addition to Hornsey High St for me. Go try it out.

I've been back twice already within a week! Had Sunday morning brunch. The food is really generous in portions, value and so delicious! The Turkish eggs had tons of flavor and the tomato sauce was rich and perfect for dipping the bread in. All the food options are customizable. My daughter has a dairy and egg intolerance and they were quite accommodating. Everyone in my family had some kind of hash brown come with their meal and I had serious envy! The hash browns were so crispy!! The real charm for me and what brought me back the second time this week was the freshly prepared gozleme. Freshly made on the spot, crisp and piping hot; no need to go to Green Lanes anymore for my fix. Rose the owner is incredibly sweet. She's always smiling and checking and going the extra mile to make your visit special. The restaurant is well thought out and family friendly not only in terms of menu options but there are high chairs available for those that need them as well as a lending library that you can read while you're sitting in the cafe or even borrow and bring back later.

I love it , lovely place will ve back

Excellent lunch 🥗 of the freshest mezze 🫓.

We visited the cafe at lunchtime on Saturday and had a nice meal with my husband and my son. The food was delicious ( excellent gözleme and fresh mezze). We have had a lovely time. I will definitely visit it again.

A welcome addition to the neighbourhood…especially for the freshly made Gozleme which used to require a walk to Green Lanes.

We just came across this new place and we were keen to give a try. Food was so delicious and the lady so nice and welcoming. Highly recommended, we’ll be back to continue trying the rest of the menu!

Fantastic food and amazing coffee, lovely atmosphere the girls rules!!!!

I had a wonderful experience at this cafe! The coffee was excellent, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My first experience was great as i asked special eggs from turkey , it was so tasty will definitely come back , staff are so friendly specially Rose

Amazing staff with great hospitality. Would recommend everyone as it is more than a cafe.

Have now eaten here twice brilliant service , absolutely love the food going to go for a breakfast next visit and the coffee was fantastic too

Rude cashier , when I was ordering my breakfast felt uncomfortable... not very welcome with foreigns

Loved this place for years. Heartbroken that it's had to close. Wishing the wonderful family who ran it and provided the warmest welcome and the most delicious food all the very best. Can't thank you enough. X

Nice cafe, good service, tasty breakfasts.

Good Cafe, generous portions, friendly staff, lovely place

Olive Cafe is wonderful. It's a family run buisness and has a lovely atmosphere because of the warm staff and friendly owner. Brilliant and tasty Turkish food which includes outstanding smoothies + milkshakes topped with cream and biscuits! Would definitely reccomend the halloumi wrap with chips. Olive is very welcoming to kids but do have a no buggy policy but if you ask they'll give you a lock. Me and my family Iuckily live close to this great cafe and try to go there as much as we can. I would definitely reccomend Olive to everyone. Seriousily try it out!

Nice spot to get food. The servers are lovely and very welcoming. Would defo recommend

Olive and family great, get your traditional or a bit of Turkish, or yummy mummy, smashed avocado.

I’m lucky enough to live close to this wonderful restaurant.Every time my parents visit they insist on eating here.The food is sublime, the service impeccable and every visit is an absolute joy.Thank you for making us feel so welcome. It’s like having dinner at a friends.I guess I should mention the value for money. I can’t quite understand how they can serve such amazing dishes at such a low price.If you’re ever in the area, then seek this place out and treat yourself.

Egg-celent brunch and coffee! Best brunch in the area!

My favourite place to have a late English breakfast during the weekend. Tasty homemade food, huge portions for really convenient price. The staff Are the most welcoming and nice people in the world! They always greet you with a smile. My baby son loves their lentil soup!

Friendly family run business. I have worked in the area for over 15yrs and have probably eaten at most of the cafe's in the sorrounding area. This place beats them all, the quality of the food you get for the price you pay is exceptional.

Olive is the best cafe in London by far. The staff are a lovely family that will love you and feed you like one of their own. I'm glad Andy and Hannah introduced me to Olive. It makes me happy when I go there for Sunday brunch with them. Mum is lovely and so full of happiness and love which is super infectious 💚 And they have super good vegan options which is awesome!

Food is good. Very noisy environment due mainly to extremely loud owner. No warmth from staff. No take away service.

I would give this place 6 stars if I could. This place doesn’t look like much on the outside but it runs on smiles and positivity with fantastic service and gorgeous food. If you’re in Crouch End, it’s definitely worth the small walk. If your already in Hornsey, I envy you... I would be there everyday!

Fabulous food and fabulous staff. One of my very favourite places for food. Have been visiting it for over ten years. I love it.

Decided to try Olive after having driven past it for years after reading its excellent reviews. We weren’t disappointed! I had a v tasty, filling chicken salad and a full on green smoothie with kiwi and ginger and all sorts - I’d have again! My family enjoyed their meals, the iced coffee is recommended. V friendly and laid back, we’ll be back.

A genuine delight, a bit of a neighborhood institution! A wonderful little caff with a Turkish twist, run by a colourful and delightful family. You will feel like a guest of honour in their home. A complete gem!

Great food and friendly service

Great food and staff/owner. Go with a big appetite the portions are generous.

It’s been a little while but an amazing Home made Tomato sauce with penne pasta, you can really feel the passion and love through their food.......can’t wait until next time.

Always friendly, good value tasty food 🙂

Best cafe for lunch in London... Amazing food, great value and such a warm welcome. Can't recommend Olive highly enough.

Wonderful food with lovely staff and very reasonable price!

Estábamos muy emocionados de volver a Café, Olive después alejando de la zona de hace 3 años. Nos dieron la misma cálida bienvenida y sonrisas como solíamos, una familia encantadora que lleva este café. La comida era estupenda y deberías probar el menemen! Las bebidas también eran preciosas y muy bien presentada, el té helado casero estaba delicioso. Sin duda merece la pena una visita! !

Always lovely food and service by great family!

I’ve been coming this friendly and cosy cafe since they have opened. Service is excellent as usual and food is delicious and always fresh. My favourite dish is mixed grilled (chicken, kofte and halloumi) with salad.

If you're looking for a solid Turkish breakfast, and aren't quite in the mood for Green Lanes, this is a good alternative. Very warm and friendly staff, and absurdly hearty portions at reasonable prices.

Seriously one of the best cafe's in London. Has a real friendly and family welcome. Breakfasts are great, the Kebab's are a must. Nice big portions. Will be back soon!

Yo tenía el desayuno más encantador, fresco, turco --maduro tomate, dos tipos de aceitunas, una gran cesta de pan fresco, queso feta, pepino, y huevos revueltos (6 libras. 50).Además, el personal era encantador y me dejaron allí sentado leyendo uno de los libros de su biblioteca durante varias horas. Por la tarde viajando sola perfecta. Altamente recomendado.

Amazing food great place for breakfast and lunch the best in the area

I don't want to say too many good things about this place, because I'm afraid it will get too crowded to get a table if more people find out about it, but it's amazing! I have pretty much outsourced breakfast to Olive and go there whenever I have guests which is a lot and everyone I have taken so far has loved it. It's great food and lovely service without being expensive. I wish they were open for dinner as well!

Ambiente encantador, la comida deliciosa recién preparado, personal amable, increíble relación calidad-precio y un servicio estupendo. No me sorprende que estaba lleno de clientes contentos cuando fuimos a comer. La comida es auténtica comida café hecho brillantemente desde Inglés opciones saludable cocina mediterránea. Mi falafels, ensalada y vino con houmous súper fresca, pan caliente turco. Tazas de té en las grandes.

The food here is amazing, massive portions and isn't over priced at all, very good value. What makes this place for me is the family that run it, they are so friendly and welcoming and remember little things like I don't like uncooked tomato, such a great place too eat you must give it a try ! ! Best cafe in crouch end in my opinion 👍🏻👍🏻

Great portion sizes, nice authentic food

Wonderful food! Great service. Lovely place!!

My favourite cafe in the whole entire world. I can not recommend it enough. I’m so sad I do not have as much time to visit there. The place is beautiful and so are the wonderful people that run it. Love to you all xxx

Me and my wife visited here quite regularly back in the past as we were Crouch enders however as we have now moved over to south London we have not visited for a while and now we were passing by we thought we had to get a cheeky late breakfast and was it EVEN BETTER THAN BEFORE!!!! This is comfortably by far the most generous portions of food we have come across in any cafe we normally go to and that is ALOT loool and having a great selection including a vegan and healthy food lovers menu you literally can not go wrong and as for the visual side of things food is prepared and served with a impecable layout of jams avacado etc. Restaurant has a very nice family vibe with a very exquisite interior design with nice famous quotes scribbled on walls and vibrant colours it is just an absolute treat to visit.

The friendliest, tastiest and most welcoming cafe in Haringey! A wide variety of delicious, healthy food to suit all tastes at incredibly reasonable prices

Very friendly, great family atmosphere and generous staff!

Olive and her beautiful family have bottled the secret of the perfect eatery. This place is mine and my family’s own personal heavenly haven in north London. My only gripe is that I never really see the point of eating anywhere else!

This place is our local cafe, and we’ve been here a couple of times.

Great food, excellent prices...... but more importantly exceptional friendly service with a smile. I would recommend to all.

I cannot fault this place. Reasonably priced delicious food. Great atmosphere. Very attentive friendly staff. Brilliant vegetarian options and the coffee is so so good.

Este lugar es genial, una de las razones por las que estoy super reconstruida he ido a lejos de la zona. Las mujeres jóvenes que pasan al frente de la casa al instante llevar una sonrisa a los clientes de frente. Si no son super amables y te hacen sentir como en casa, ya saben de ti y son tener una charla sobre lo que has sido hasta cómo la vida va. Si eso no lo hace la sonrisa en la cocina el chef genio se ven y te recuerdan lo que es comer en casa de nan. No, no hay grosería alrededor moping y la mayoría de todo lo que mejor disfrutar de la comida. Y no es difícil dado el amor y la chispa que pone en cada plato. He tenido amigos me visita de países por todas partes, siempre he llevado a ellos y el aceite de oliva nunca decepciona. Y el chef, si su lectura de este. Seguir haciendo lo suyo, mantener acogedor sus clientes, permanecer en contacto con sus clientes. Volver al aceite nunca es justo sobre la comida.

My sister took me here, great Cafe. The food was amazing, well portioned and priced. Nice atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Excellent venue for Sunday breakfast. Super friendly and great food.

Friendly staff nicely decorated tasty food

The Olive Cafe is our favourite local cafe. The food is absolutely fantastic-all home made and amazingly good value. It is a family run business and the whole family welcome everyone like guests in their own home. My favourite dishes are the spinach, avocado and cheese omelette with salad and the home made falafel and hummus with salad and olives. Oh yes and not forgetting the amazing home made lentil soup. Absolutely delicious!

Came across this fantastic little place by accident. Had two large, excellent flat whites, cake, and scones with jam for less than a fiver. Th lunch menu looks great, will definitely be back.

Such great memories when I first started dating now my hubby 10 years ago breakfast after our nights out amazing and amazing
