Olive Cafe oozes in friendliness in their family run cafe. It has such a happy, relaxed and welcoming feel to it. They know their regular customers really well but also make a lovely effort with new ones too. The staff give such wonderful personal service and they do honestly value all their customers.
Olive has been our family favourite for years! Always so welcoming! Best food and best people! Also great value, I always recommend Olive to friends!!
Lovely cafe. Fantastic cosy cafe on Hornsey high street. Definitely star of the high street. Very friendly atmosphere and delicious fresh food. Highly recommended.
Great, friendly service backed up with freshly cooked and tasty food, all at very reasonable prices.
Had a traditional English breakfast and the portions are very large.
Excellent Greek and Turkish options on a varied menu too. Will definitely be returning soon to try these.
This is simple in the best sense - simple home made food, freshly prepared every day. A simple menu with standard cafe meals like a full English breakfast, but with unexpected greek and turkish dishes as well - a choice today between chicken soup and Turkish lentil soup, for example. And all at very reasonable prices. The owner and staff are friendly and welcoming and greet you like a member of the family on your second visit. And you will definitely be back for a second visit.
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.

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

Fantastic food and amazing coffee, lovely atmosphere the girls rules!!!!
Excellent lunch 🥗 of the freshest mezze 🫓.
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.
