Really lovely cafe with marvellous range of plant based food. The baba ganoush was stunning!
Service was a little slow on the Saturday when we went and they forgot one of our orders, but all sorted out quickly.
Be nice to have some music playing in the background.
I love this little spot in Wivenhoe. They do beautiful vegetarian / vegan platters and the food is so fresh, healthy and delicious. We shared a vegetarian platter and then had Turkish coffee and baklava for dessert. The staff are so lovely and friendly. I keep coming back here as I like it so much.
Very chilled Vibe with a brilliant ambience, the food is lovely and the coffee is amazing. The service is second to non with exceptionally kind staff. I wish i was exaggerating but this was an amazing experience for the first time using The Olive Branch.
Love this place. We were immediately made to feel so welcome. What a warm welcome we received. ( Chantel, the server was simply amazing)!
We instantly felt appreciated for visiting, allocated seating and checked on regularly to make sure we were comfortable.
What’s more, the food was scrumptious! Never ever have I tasted vegan wraps that tasted so excellent.
Thank you for making us feel cared for and welcome.

What a gem of a find. It can be hard to find good vegetarian food. We had a mixed platter for two and it was amazing, fresh, vibrant and tasty. The staff were very helpful and the chef who prepared the food explained each item that was on the mixed platter. recommend highly
Popped in after a long walk down the Wivenhoe trail for the first time yesterday and I must say the food is yummy! The falafel wraps were a great size and the platters are super tasty! It is a small little place so I would recommend booking but we will definitely be back and happy to recommend it!
Absolutely brilliant vegan cafe with vegetarian options for Jon-vegan friends/family. We walked over to the cafe along the river and through woodland and enjoyed a meal there. Really good food, super nice staff, attentive and great atmosphere. Husband said it felt like we were on holiday again. Will definitely return.
Superb place. Great coffee (Monmouth) and fantastic food
Popped in for some late lunch.. very welcoming.. and amazing food.. Thankyou 😁
One of the best meals I've ever had! As a devoted meat eater I've never in my life ever considered trying vegan food, not until I stumbled upon this cute little cafe one wonderful Saturday afternoon. I was greeted by the most cheerful staff and the owner Abdul went as far as to personally take my order. Now, I'm not accustomed to Mediterranean cuisine let alone vegetarian Mediterranean food but Abdul walked me through the menu so well that I felt as if I was in Syria myself, being offered one of the finest cuisines the world has to over. The ambiance of the cafe very comfy and inviting, I didn't want to leave. I finally ordered the make shift pizza that I unfortunately forgot the name of. I would pay whatever is required for me to enjoy that delicacy once again. If you're in wivenhoe and you're interested in trying new things, this restaurant will not disappoint.
To be able to order delicious vegan food in the knowledge that is just that is a true relief and pleasure. Wether you are Vegan or not this food tastes amazing and the service is top notch. Syrian food tastes fantastic. The staff are happy to explain the dishes and enhance the experience.
Very lovely place, kind staff and the food is so amazing. It is good to book a table at the weekend as it can get a bit busy - love it!
Great little place, staff and food exceptional.
Scrumptious baklava and coffee..
Very nice staff..
Lovely little spot, just by the station. Wonderful vegan and vegetarian food, very welcoming and attentive staff and they were very accommodating of our toddler too. The pictures are missing food because we couldn’t wait to dig in 😊
Quirky little place tucked away off the High Street on the road down to the station. Syrian based food, veggie based and mainly light lunches. Interesting food and some nice different hot drinks to try as well.
Cute place with delicious vegan food. The sharing platter was good value and very tasty.
I'll definitely be returning.
Really nice little place, lovely friendly staff.
Food was amazing tried the Zaatar manoushe.
Coffee was very good too.
A little gem of an eatery. After several delectable visits I felt it only fair to write here how delicious the food is and how friendly and attentive the staff are. The sharing mezzes are excellent and the homemade minty lemonade a total winner. Having sampled both hot and cold dishes I can say you able to order anything with confidence. If you are unsure of or unfamiliar with any of the dishes the helpful staff will be happy to talk to you about them to find out what suits best!
