This is a brilliant privately owned cafe serving fresh home made produce and great coffee.
The owners are lovely and the service friendly.
Friday nights they do a limited menu dinner and you get 3 courses and a complimentary drink for £19.90.
We couldn't fault it. The flavours were fresh and the selection was great.
It is quite a small place so you need to book for the dinner menu.
What can I say about Café Olive except... if you're in Kendal, eat here! This was our fourth visit. First, by accident, second, third, and fourth visits by design! It's a treat and a revelation all in one! Go early, though, so you get plenty of choice from their gorgeous menu! Once it's gone, it's gone! Traditional Turkish food, so don't expect chips, but you absolutely won't regret it! Plenty for G Effers, like my chap(GF) to enjoy, too! You feel like you're abroad even on a rainy afternoon in Cumbria! Taste sensations in a relaxed atmosphere with great service! Takeaway offer is also tremendous! Just go!
I’ve met members of my family here on half a dozen occasions now and it never fails to impress with the good quality of the food. The cafe is quite small but instead of this making it feel cramped it makes it feel more intimate and friendly and the couple who run it are more than happy to help with any questions that visitors have. I’ll definitely be back again.
Popped in with our little one for lunch. The staff were lovely and she enjoyed her food. Pictured is what I had, forgot the name but it's spiced scrambled egg with onions and peppers and some feta and was lovely. The drink is a Turkish sour cherry one, which was delicious. Highly recommended if you fancy something a bit different.
Really authentic delicious Turkish food. Great coffee. Super friendly staff and good atmosphere. Got some borek to take home too and everything was so tasty! Thank you
Amazing turkish food and cafe. Mostly vegan and vegetarian homemade turkish food.
Excellent authentic Turkish cuisine, excellent Turkish style coffee.
The owner was incredibly helpful when we enquired about their ability to cater to my allergy to sunflower and it’s related plants, went above and beyond to find out every detail he could.
Will definitely be back!
I had a wonderful Red Lentil soup with Gluten-Free bread and loose-leaf Earl Grey tea with lemon. Very friendly staff, great food and a sweet little cafe!
Affordable and well worth a visit for lunch.
Lovely spot for Turkish food. Gorgeous vegan and veggie food too. Good coffee and dairy alternatives.
Wonderful spot for brunch. Friendly and welcoming staff plus a great selection of food both for eat-in and takeaway. Shakshuka is a winner!!
Fab Turkish cafe/restaurant, helpful staff and awesome tasty food, we had plates with three meze dishes (think Turkish Tapas) plus borek savoury bakes (think open-sided pasties).
Well recommended. :)
