Cafe Olli

"the only good thing about this place is that it’s aesthetic and instagrammable. we got a cappuccino (ordered extra hot), hot oat milk chai, and hot matcha latte. all drinks tasted bad and came cold. the pizza is overhyped and flavorless also! and we were 3 people sitting there for maybe not even an hour before one of the employees came up to us and asked us to leave within 5 minutes because they have a reservation. there was no heads up or mention of this before and they basically rudely kicked us out. they said “not to rush you but we need you to give up this table in 5 minutes for a reservation” sounds like bad planning on their part! there were also other groups of 4+ in the restaurant that were there at least as long as we were and they didn’t say anything to anyone other than us. left a bad taste in my mouth (worse than the chai!) definitely will not be coming back!"

"I came here for a lunch meeting recently, and it ended up being canceled. I didn't want to leave and decided to sit at the counter area and still order my lunch. I ordered the Pomodoro Pizza with stracciatella (it's a must add on) and was just amazed at how great the pizza was. This belongs up there with the list of great pizzas in town. The stracciatella added both this great texture and combination to the pizza. The chef making the pizza was super friendly and made me feel like I was at home. I am deficient coming back very soon to try the other pizzas. (Just a reminder, it's only served during lunch at this time)."

"We stopped by Ollie today for an impromptu breakfast. The place is warm, not at all pretentious. The staff are tuned in, knowledgeable, and kind. I had a frittata sandwich and a chocolate chip cookie. Both were outstanding!"

"Super cute coffee shop! I had a cardamom bun to go and it was delicious. The space inside is adorable. I love the heater and the tent outside as well. I do understand the negative reviews about service. It took a couple minutes for me to get helped when there was no line and about a half empty cafe. No greeting no nothing. Although I don’t expect a hello, it’s crazy to make eye contact with 5 employees running around and for them to just ignore ya. I even pulled out my phone to browse for a few minutes. When I was helped they were super nice though! I think they’re just very understaffed. If you don’t have patience for a more relaxed service, just order a pastry and a coffee, the sit down experience in here won’t be for you. All that being said, I’m still thinking about that cardamom bun and the food looked delicious. I’ll definitely be back as this is in my neighborhood and it was great, but idk if I’ll suggest it to people outside of that local cafe vibe."

"Biked uptown from my downtown hotel to try this breakfast spot. It didn't disappoint. I got the ricotta toast as a light meal. Added an OJ. It was the best way to try out the spot and leave room for lunch. I also got a cardamom bun to go but haven't eaten it yet. Come early if you want to get started right away. Otherwise you'll be waiting in line to eat. I got there 5 minutes early and there were already 12 people in line."
