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.
We called in as it looked nice from the street when we walked past. Lovely warm welcome and a nice explanation of the food. We ordered food and drinks.
Wow we were not disappointed. Amazing food, fresh, hot and amazing tasty. Finished with baklava which was tasty and sticky.
From start to finish an amazingly tasty meal, we will be back.
Complements to the chef.
Lovely little cafe. Came in for a small bite and warm drinks. Staff were so friendly and attentive.
Would recommend the fresh juices, turkish apple tea and the figs.
Can also buys little turkish bits n bobs for he cooking. All reasonably priced.
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!
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.
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.
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. :)
Great food, friendly personable staff, fair prices, nice location.
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.
Delicious. For something really tasty with great coffee and super friendly. Very authentic and lots of choice for everyone. Try it!!
