Description

Blue Olive is a quaint cafe that offers a variety of delicious sandwiches and coffee. While the food was generally well-received, some customers noted slow service and some rude staff members. However, others praised the friendly service and fantastic coffee art. The cafe's small size restricts large group gatherings, but its cozy atmosphere and quality food make it a great spot for catching up with friends. Prices are a bit high, but the fresh ingredients and tasty dishes make it worth the cost. Overall, Blue Olive seems to be a hit or miss depending on the experience with the staff, but the food and ambiance receive positive reviews.

We were recommended this cafe by a friend after staying in Canberra a few days with disappointing breakfast and coffee options. The service when we walked in was inviting and the coffee (and art) was great! Food was also generous and delicious for the price. We had the brekkie wrap (tomato and spinach very fresh) and banana bread.

Stumbled here as i was new to town and was recommended this place by locals. Was welcomed by a wonderful couple and can already tell this place is adored by locals. The lady at the counter seems to remember everyone's names, the decor of the place was simple and cosy. Ordered the Korean Fried Chicken Burger and a latte, which came with a bear on it. Burger was nice and crispy, with a nice spicy kick. Overall, will come again and try their NYC style sandwiches. Really nice place for lunch and coffee break.

Always great service and super friendly staff. A good selection of cafe food. A wide range of milk alternatives for non dairy drinkers. My favourite menu item is the breakfast burger. I will continue to visit regularly.
