The Olive Branch

I don't go into coffee shops alone. Had 40mins to while away.Saturday early afternoon Good coffee and tea cake. Lovely attentive lady serving.Shame they where out of cheese scones. Nice safe cafe for timid singles.

This is a really nice place with a very cheerful and friendly lady serving. Contrary to some previous reviews I feel that the prices are very reasonable. What prevents it from getting five stars from me is that it does not serve fair trade tea and coffee. I am surprised and disappointed that a cafe run by the Salvation Army fails to do this. Incidentally, it is now called Sally Ann's cafe.

I visit this cafe at least once or twice a week and i am never disappointed. The choice of food is great with daily specials covering many taste palates. Olive branch rivals many cafes in the area with one even situated across the road, but in terms of hospitality atmosphere and food this one wins it for me. Many more visits to come, check out the charity shop too!

I have been visiting this place for the past year, although it is owned by SA i feel that it has well presented staff, food and place. Its not just a cafe, its a place where people of all ages go and and meet, socialise and have some reasonably priced food. TBH due to it being a charity people have the perception that the prices should be cheaper but i can honestly say that the food is priced to reflect the quality so well done olive branch.

The two of us had a prawn and salad filled jacket spud, and shared a pot of tea for two. Would both have preferred an oven baked more crispy spud but apart from that it was great to support such a kind organisation. Great value at just under ten pounds for it all, and much nicer to go here than you 're run of the mill Cost-ta-lots .
