Exceptional Service and Generous Brunch Delights

Tucked away in one of North London's cozy corners, the Olive Cafe & Bakery is the sort of place you'd expect to stumble upon and then whisper about afterward, not out of secrecy but sheer delight. From the moment you walk in, you're enveloped by the aroma of fresh bakes combined with that particular cozy warmth that only a family-run cafe seems to offer. Our meal began with tantalizing dishes that nod generously to Mediterranean traditions - think spinach and mozzarella gozleme that’s as soulful as it is filling and Turkish breakfast spreads bursting with fresh flavors like kashar cheese and piping hot flatbreads. Each presentation is more vibrant than the last, from golden french toast to Turkish pancakes insane enough to share or hoard solo.

Staff on their tiptoes, tweaking that delicate balance of attentively nice whilst authentically warm-hearted, seemed overjoyed to present each detail-oriented dish. With chef Birkan and his spirited team exhibiting an impressive mastery over flavors extending from hearty English breakfasts to veggie masterpieces. The cherry on this delightful cake is, evidently, the diligence over dietary specifics — halal, vegan-friendly lounges that manage to be endearingly kid-friendly too (yes, sweets for kids, just ask!). Meanwhile, locals rejoice over their consistently adored coffee stocks surrounded by light streaming through wide windows — a sight undeniably deserving your presence. Truth be told, if you're anywhere near, slip into Olive Cafe's humble folds; nothing sets a day right like starting it here. Chin-chin to what must be North London's bakery coup de maître. — Milo Tastemaker
