About The Olive Cafe in Palmers Green
We opened on Green Lanes with one aim: to bring the unhurried warmth of a Mediterranean breakfast table to Palmers Green. Years later, the regulars are still coming back.
Sitting a short walk from Palmers Green station, The Olive Cafe has become part of the daily rhythm of N13. Mornings start with fresh börek pulled from the oven, strong Turkish coffee and shakshuka that takes its time on the pan. Lunches stretch into lazy brunches — halloumi toasties, sourdough loaded with roasted vegetables, and cold pressed juices. We seat 80 inside and 40 outside, so there is almost always a table. Our menu is fully halal with a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. If you live on Green Lanes or pass through on the bus, consider this your local.
