“ This restaurant is amazing. Absolutely great service and food is what you would expect from a high end restaurant. You will not be disappointed. ”
“ Great food at an affordable price. Service was excellent. Food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. Highly recommend. ”
“ Cindy Lou Who and I had a Late Breakfast at the Olney Cafe the other day... The Olney Cafe has become a Great Asset to Olney... the Staff is Top Notch and the Meals we have been presented are Generous in their Portions to the point that often, both Cindy and I end up asking for Take-home Boxes. My Friend Tony the Trash Guy (He drives for Republic Services and hauls our Refuse), well, He brought me here on Easter Sunday for Breakfast... and my 'Cousin Bonnie' has also accompanied me here as well... ... and Everybody just Loves the Olney Cafe! In the Image (... and I should have Posted a Picture and a Review MONTHS ago...) on the left is Cindy's Breakfast. She had a 5.99 Breakfast Special. You get 2 Eggs Any Style ( Cindy likes her's Poached and She is a Poached Egg Connoisseur) 2 slices of Toast and a Helping of Potatoes ( in this Image, Cindy got Country Style Potatoes). On the Right, I had a different 5.99 Breakfast. Mine was the Half-Order of Biscuits & Gravy, 2 Eggs Any Style (I'm not "Fussy" like Cindy Lou and just tell the Waiter or Waitress to "... just let the Cook cook the Eggs whatever way it's easiest, lol!)... the Sausage was ordered a la carte for a reasonable additional charge...oh, and I asked for the Eggs to be on top of the Biscuit and Gravy... usually the Wait Staff Serves the Eggs on a Separate Plate. Cindy Lou had Iced Tea and as for myself... well I have to be Mindful of Caffeine so I brought my own Beverage... Now, look just Left of Cindy's Tea and you will find the Olney Cafe's Signature Sauce... I love the Stuff and it brings out the Best of my Breakfast, which already tastes pretty Good to Start with... So, with all that said, I can Highly Recommend that if you come to Olney for a Couple Days, you just have to stop by and make the Olney Cafe one of Your Favorite Places in Olney, too... ... I know that We All have, and maybe when You come to Visit, You might see Us in there, too! ”
“ Good food, great service, kind servers. ”
“ Friendly service and the food was delicious! Plus not far from the park to visit the local squirrels! ”
“ We had an excellent time at this super cute country cafe. I ordered crepes and was very surprised by the variety of their menu. They also had a breakfast special that look delicious but the portions are so big that we only ordered one thing. The prices are great and everything seems homemade. ”
“ Really enjoy the food, best B&G around. And the dessert to die for! The catfish was AMAZING! Not overly breaded like a lot of places. Even the bacon is cooked to perfection! You don't find that often. So far we have not found a dish we did not like. We have tried breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And the dessert . Can't pass the dessert . ”
“ Visited here 5/10/25 around 2pm. Several customers but I wouldn't say busy..Seater was very nice. Server was prompt and friendly with our drinks and taking our orders. Food came out hot, correct and delicious! The whole staff was very nice. If in the area, we won't hesitate to stop in again ”
