About The Olive Cafe in Southgate
Southgate is a short Piccadilly line ride from Palmers Green — and a short walk from our door. Whether it is a Tuesday morning or a slow Sunday, we will have something on the griddle.
Southgate locals have made The Olive Cafe part of their weekend routine. The journey takes minutes and the food makes it worth it. We do a proper shakshuka with slow-cooked tomatoes and poached eggs, a halloumi plate with thyme honey, and a full English for those who need it. The coffee is strong, the pastries are baked that morning and the outdoor terrace fills up fast on sunny days. Book ahead for groups, or simply walk in and we will find you a spot. Fully halal, with vegetarian and vegan options across the menu.
