“We have been enjoying Olive Cafe for at least 6 or 7 years and have recommended it to everyone we know in or visiting the Portland area. After a long absence mainly due to the pandemic we have been anxiously awaiting our return to see if it was still as we remembered.On this very wet day of coastal flooding and business closures, we brought two of our Boston friends to sample and savor.Happy to find that our two favorite flat breads: ya baba and the Brussels were better than ever. Despite several tries, we have never been able to replicate at home. Also vegan which can be so difficult to find, especially as tasty as these.Our host was typical Portland friendly which makes us want to support. The space is nothing unique but works great for almost any size group.All that said we have to say that the one big disappointment was our order of the Mediterranean platter. While absolutely fantastic, the portion was barely enough for one person as an appetizer at the cost of an entree.Back to the upside, their coffees are terrific. All and all we will continue to be fans and hope for them the best.John and Jon“
