A group of us chose to go to Olive about 3 weeks ago as I have been going there off and on for years and it WAS a favourite of mine. However, not any more. It has obviously changed hands as the counter food was not like it used to be, the menu standard and food presentation bad. I have been eating out regularly for years and years and have never come across such APPALLING SERVICE and that was from the manager (and I believe owner) who told us “there’s plenty of other cafes in Wellington!” We were gobsmacked! There certainly is plenty of other cafes and if she continues to treat customers in this way Olive will no longer be one of those cafes! I notice 2-3 other people have blogged about being told the same thing. Lady, you need some serious customer service training!!!

Average menu without most of the things you’d expect to find on a brunch menu. Service was slow and unfriendly.
When I asked whether they do gluten free bread I was told they did, but wasn’t told that there was an additional cost. I don’t mind paying slightly more as I appreciate that GF bread is more expensive but being charged $6 for two slices of GF bread?!? RIP OFF. When I questioned it and said I could buy an entire loaf for that the girl just shrugged. Eventually she came back over and said it was only $4 – “only”!
Food was ok but nothing special and certainly didn’t justify the prices. Hot chocolates were tiny, kids portions at adult prices.
Definitely won’t be returning. So many great cafes in Wellington, gutted we picked a bad one.

Went to Olive cafe for dinner two of us.
The service was great – a chatty friendly young woman who was very knowlegdeable and recommended what wine to have.
The food quality was exceptional, the surroundings so interesting with some fantastic art installations not your generic cafe restaurant fit-out.
We will definitely be back- highly recommended.

Rude staff. Always unhelpful and unfriendly. Average food and coffee and rather over priced for the quality of food. Not going back, especially for the terrible service. Olive management need to rethink their idea of a great cafe and make some serious changes to their staff’s attitude towards work, especially the managers. Service with a smile would be a good start!
