Olive Grove - Waikanae

This has to be my favourite cafe in Waikanae, every dish I’ve had off the menu if delicious and the cabinet food is tasty and offers a great selection. The staff are always willing to go above and beyond for any special requests. Highly recommended

You are welcomed here by friendly staff, who really care about your dining/drinking experience. They will happily serve you their free trade coffee the way you like it best, and their cabinet food is very tempting each day. There are ample tables, and lots of reading matter if you have come to just chill out. The rest room is so spacious you could take the push chair in if you wanted to...and under the large mirror there is a shelf to put your bag. Very convenient. (So many rest rooms are like stall! without room to swing a cat!)I have heard that their late night bar is just as welcoming after a hard week! Try them, you won 't be disappointed.<br/ <br/ <br/ 30 May, 2009 <br/ <br/ The staff at the Olive Grove are very friendly, very helpful, and very quick. These people really care about you. The food in their 'ready made ' cabinet always looks fresh and inviting, and they take on board any special request you might make. AND their rest room is spacious and clean.

In my opion I feel that there must be sour grapes upon the bad reveiws for this cafe...I have visted this cafe twice in the last few weeks and have found the place inviting ,I am in the customer service industry and to get a five star reveiw is extremely rare from a customers point. The toilets are clean the food fantastic and the staff over whelmingly friendly .. And my advice is to try Olive Grove Cafe and experience this for yourself I absolutely loved it!!!!!

Loved it here myself. As others have said, wonderful friendly staff all strength to them. Tasty food and enough of it to feel fed. Great paintings interesting for a change. And I felt relaxed here nice laid back almost mediteranean feel to the place.

Whenever I drive up to Kapiti Coast, I can't resist stopping at the Olive Grove Cafe, Waikanae. You know how everyone has their favourite spots to refresh themselves. This is it folks the well kept secret in Waikanae Mall. There's a well thought out spot for the little kiddies all you tired Mum's. The food and drink excellent, I especially recommend any of the muffins or scones, my personal favourite the savoury muffin, the kids love the large selection of slices. I think the gracious staff there go the extra mile with service, always chirpy and helpful, and to top it off I've bought trinkets as presents as there is a selection of gift wares and some local artwork on the walls to ponder to admire. Great decor you have your choice of outdoor or indoor seating at tables or a comfortable couch, and relaxing music, Waikanae must feel spoilt. Guess what there's more! I recently discovered the Olive Grove cater for events and has a bar license so I'm looking into that. I gave them 5 stars!!
