Love the lounge wherever they are! Great for me as I’m gluten free. I get a dedicated GF menu! Plus there’s vegan & regular food to cater for everyone!
Great experience- dog friendly and catering for what looked like all dietary needs.
Staff friendly
Gluten free has its own separate menu on request at the bar which is very comprehensive. They mark up the dishes as GF when serving so no mix ups. Pictures attached show the gf burger looks (and tasted) great with no difference to main menu.
Fantastic and thank you!
Being Gluten Free always enjoyed visiting Cote restaurants but shocked when handed a I pad to check menu options this is
something that used to happen in early days of GF, gone backwards cannot understand why.
Very disappointing.
Really nice and helpful staff, good & knowledgeable about dietary requirements, gluten/dairy free etc, prices are reasonable for portions too, would highly recommend the lounge breakfast
Fast and polite service from Oliver, pizza was amazing and the banana blossom was a brilliant gluten free and veggie alternative! Would love to come again!
Is this the best cafe/bar in Bournemouth?
Although we were staying in a hotel that does a very nice breakfast,we prefer to eat later without getting up too early.
Just a short walk through town and up to the Triangle.
The interior is bright and possibly a little camp.
Think pink & neon and maybe a flamingo lurking somewhere with a bit a glam.
There's wooden table's & chairs, as well as comfy sofas to sink into.
It's a very friendly and welcoming space.
You can just have a coffee,or choose from an array of freshly prepared food.
Whatever side of the fence you are,gluten free,veggie,vegan,they cater to all tastes.
But we're not any of those.
An all day breakfast is what we are craving.
As you enter,find an available seat to settle into and place your order at the counter.
This can be difficult at times,as it's a very sort after spot.
The breakfast is freshly cooked to order and arrives at the table in no-time.
The highlight has got to be the very tasty sausages. At £9.25,it's quite good value.
In fact all their prices are very reasonable for the quality and service.
In the evening they have different events as well.
Our only problem is,when we bring our boys,that's doggies. We can't get out of the place.
As so many people want to say hello to them.
This is truly the friendliest and best cafe in Bournemouth where everyone is welcome.
Oh,and our boys love all the attention.
Great place to have breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack overlooking the cliffs and ocean! Had plenty of gluten free options including bread to enjoy a delicious sandwich.
I had a wonderful dining experience, thanks to Harriet, our waitress. She was incredibly attentive and made sure to double-check that my meal was completely gluten-free, which I truly appreciated. Her care and attention to detail made me feel at ease and able to enjoy my meal without worry. Harriet’s friendly demeanor and professionalism really stood out, and I highly recommend her for anyone who values excellent service. Thank you, Harriet, for going the extra mile!
This establishment offers a delightful culinary experience, featuring delicious cuisine and thoughtfully prepared gluten-free options. The service was exemplary, deserving of a five-star rating. A particular commendation is extended to Valerio, who provided exceptional assistance with the menu and enriched the dining experience with engaging insights into Italian traditions, while also showing genuine interest in my own cultural background. His attentive and proactive service ensured a thoroughly enjoyable meal. I anticipate returning in the near future.
Incredible tasty authentic Mexican food, this is the best place to go if you’re craving a Mexican, stuff super friendly and helpful too! Everything can also be gluten free pretty much and it’s so nice to go somewhere where you don’t have to worry.
I had high expectations after reading multiple positive reviews, so I was disappointed not to be able to give 5 stars.
The gluten free menu only works if you don't have other intolerances and like halloumi and spinach.
I ended up building my own breakfast.
2 rashers of bacon
1 poached egg
2 halves of tomato
1 portion baked beans (looked like 1/2 portion)
1 slice gluten-free bread (toasted)
How much do you think that ought to cost?
Now, I know I'm a Yorkshire lass and this cafe is in Bournemouth, but £8.50... that's a bit steep and worthy of an "'Ow much?"
Everything about the Olive Cafe is distinctly average. For me personally, charging prices like £8.50 for a barely there breakfast is a bit cheeky. Either improve the quality and portion size or reduce the amount you charge.
Popped in today for the first time as often mentioned on Facebook about how good it is.
As I'm gluten free I often struggle to find places I can eat normal food rather than limited choices so emailed Dave ahead to check. Replied straight back and even offered to make a gf brownie to satisfy my sweet tooth! How accommodating!
Food was excellent, fresh and hot.
Brownie was Amazing! Let me know when you do it again can I buy some to bring home !!
Thank you and will definitely be added to my list of places to head back too!
10 of us and 2 dogs went for lunch having prebooked. Table arranged so that we were not or did nor disturb others!
Very friendly and attentive staff both on booking and during the meal. Food well cooked and generous portions catering for vegetarian and gluten fee requirements as well as an age range of 15 to 80.
Great views
We will return. Many thanks
Empanadas were some of the best gluten free food I've ever had. Lovely staff, and you feel like you've completely escaped the businesses of Boscombe when you sit inside. Lovely aesthetic inside, with lots of plants and lots of colour.
Without doubt, a brilliant local eatery serving up fantastic tasting Mexican food. Can only comment on the Tacos (we had chicken, beef, pork between us) - absolutely no complaints from the family! The pork and beef won for sure 😋.
A bit like walking into chef's kitchen...very homely, nice conversation whilst waiting and great explanations of each dish to help our decisions.
Blink and you've missed it. Tiny place. Have passed it too many times and always thought the same - must try it out soon. Embarrassed to say Francisco has been there for 7 years...and today was our first visit. Definitely visiting again soon 🙌🏻. Oh, gluten free too 👍🏻!!
Gracias Francisco!
Plantain and curry goat were amazing, both gluten free. Exceptional service from the guy whose name was Omid. Great 241 cocktails and a lovely all round time.
Excellent food over three evenings. As my wife is celiac the only slight disappointment was the lack of some information on th menu regarding gluten. Ths did not spoil the experience however. Great food and service. Thank you staff.
Lovely lovely food and service. Highly recommended, amazing as vegan and gluten free. My mum couldn't believe it was all gluten free and kept checking.
Celiac friendly
