The Olive Cafe Lounge

I’ve been here a few times over the years, but this recent visit left me feeling a bit disappointed. The price didn’t really match the portion sizes, and the overall taste of the food was just okay. We ordered the mezze plate for two as vegetarians. We were told that extra items would be added to make up for the lack of meat, but it didn’t feel like an equivalent substitution for the price. The portions still seemed quite small for what we paid. In total, it came to £36 for two drinks and a small shared plate, which felt pretty steep for the value we received. Unfortunately, this visit didn’t live up to our previous experiences.

⭐☆☆☆☆ Absolutely avoid. Food handler came straight in from unloading stock in the rain wearing a soaking wet coat and tried to prepare my sandwich without washing his hands or removing the coat. When I politely questioned basic hygiene, I was told he was “busy”. Order was wrong, service was rude, and the refund process was ridiculous. Serious hygiene concerns. I will never return.

Day trip to Saltaire with friends to celebrate my birthday and visited here for lunch. We ordered Mixed Mezze for one, calamari, and seafood linguine to share between the three of us. Absolutely loved them! Fresh, flavoursome and generous portion. The drinks were also good too. We had a hot chocolate and latte. Everything was reasonably priced. The weather was so lovely and we sat outside yet we weren't forgotten. It was very busy but all the staff were very attentive and friendly. They do not accept card but bank transfer or cash, which we didn't mind. Support the local businesses! Thank you for making my birthday extra special with your food and service.

Scruffy little cafe requiring a lick of paint outside great service from a pleasant girl but the toilet OMG a filthy hole scruffy dirty and a health hazard as for the coffee don’t bother insipid weak and frankly awful !

Lovely food, well priced. I had the meatball sandwich with chips and it’s was around £9. The staff are friendly, and they provide high chairs for kids which is great. The only thing that lets this place down is how clean it is, the toilet was absolutely disgusting, no toilet paper, wee everywhere, and looked like it had never been cleaned. I had a peek in the kitchen when paying and that didn’t look any better. They also were only taking cash, I don’t know if that’s a usual thing for just that their card machines weren’t working. Not sure I’d come back because of the state of the toilet to be honest.
