The Olive Tree Espresso Cafe

So good! Very friendly service, amazing prices. We had eggs benny, big bfast, two kids bfasts, 2 coffees and a juice for $37! Not many places offer a decent kids bfast so was impressed.! Very nice coffee. Highly recommend. Not fancy food but more home cooked style. No complaints here you won't find better at these prices.

We celebrated our son's 21st Birthday with 60people. Very comfortable size, probably could fit 100 in the yard. We used the space from 6pm to 10pm. Drinks were very reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and kept the place clean for the guests. I was allowed to bump in my lighting, portable TV from 3pm, which was enough time.

The burritos here are awesome, some people may complain too much bacon, then just take some out. The bread/wraps are delicious and always a good vibe.

If you are just after a plain, filling breakfast, this is the place to go.  Big breakfast for $10 a sausage, bacon, two eggs, half a tomato, toast AND a drink!   They don't have gluten free bread, but the sausage is gluten free, so if you just forgo the toast this is still a cheap, basic breakfast.  How can you go wrong with a coffee included?  The hosts are friendly and chat to the customers as they bring out the food, you can sit outside in the warm air, and go for a short walk to the beach later to shake the food down.  Plus, the bonus was being able to slyly give my bacon fat to Ivan, the three legged dog, who obviously belonged to some other diners but was doing the rounds of the tables smooching for food.    They do other dishes, but the basic breakfast is the best value I think.

I am a local and since I have discovered this little gem at Mermaid Beach, I have become a regular. The food is good, especially the eggs benedict. Now I'm not talking a la carte menu, just well cooked, tasty home style meals and good coffee. The family that run the café are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel at home. The prices are well below other cafes with similar menus. I pay only $8 for eggs benedict here in 2016 now that is amazingly good value. If you are looking for a tasty breakfast for yourself or the whole family in a happy atmosphere at an affordable price, then this is the place for you. There is plenty of parking as well.
