Olives

Olives is fantastic and their food is fresh and tastes completely homemade. Especially excellent are the salads (chicken, chickpea and spinach, the Mexican layer salad) and hummus, the falafel platter, anything with grilled chicken, mozzarella and tomato on baguette, and other sandwiches. Their baked goods are also really good - especially their cakes and the triple chocolate cookie and the chocolate chip cookie. Customer service is excellent! Also cake decorating for special orders is beautifully done. I've been a customer for at least 15 years and it is one of my favorite places in Princeton :)

Consistently great! The Malibu chicken souvlaki is hands-down the best…a little messy, but totally worth it every time. The hummus and pita never disappoint, and the baguettes are a bit of an underrated gem. The rotating hot food specials keep things interesting, so you really can’t go wrong with anything. A few items lean a little pricey, but overall it’s very reasonable for the quality and for the area.

The food here is great and fresh. They have a wide variety of grab and gos items and some made to order. Their #8 is amazing. Buttery roll, fluffy egg with oozing cheese served hot... 😋 Yum! Recently I tried their chicken sandwich. While more salty than what I am used to, the toasted sandwich with the green sauce, chicken and cheese was an appetizing combo. Since I recently moved to Princeton I have yet to try everything on their menu but what I have seen is worth your buck.. it's not cheap but compared to Princeton prices, you can get a lot of hot items 10 or under. The staff is super nice. Rush times can mean your order is going to take between 10-15 minutes but it's worth the wait. About 3-4 stools to sit inside and about 3 tables with approx sitting of 10-12 people outside weather permitting.

Their variety and freshness are excellent! I ordered their Greek sandwich for lunch and it was soooo good. The price was reasonable, and the portion was big. The souvlaki with the sauce is unmatched. There are also so many options to choose from as well. Although it was super busy, the food was prepared right in front of us in a short amount of time. Definitely check this place out!
