OLIVIAS BAKERY & CONFECTIONERY Johannesburg, Gauteng

So glad we stumbled across this place! The bread is by far the best thing about it, available to buy as well! Special mention to the fruit and nut sourdough which didn’t last 24 hours after we got home : They have a wide range of specialty teas, mango and pineapple being my fav, and have a large menu to match too. Sandwiches, bagels, wraps, brunch, lunch, you name it, they do it! Prices are fair, and despite how busy it has been whenever we’ve gone 3 times now wait times are always impressively short. The vibe is welcoming and the place is comfortable and cosy, offering a range of tasty cakes and pastries if you just fancy a nibble. It really was top notch stuff and there is no doubt in my mind we will be back again and again. Thanks guys!

Visited a few times with different people and everyone loved it. Portions are generous and breakfast is served until early afternoon. Good vegan options available and fresh bread available to buy. Pastries aren't overly sweet and the varieties keep changing.

The most lovely bread ever! The filed bagels etc they sell are just amazing as is the coffee :

Cosy little cafe with modern, industrial style decor. The menu is small, but what's there is varied and great quality. They bake their own bread on site, so all the bread in the sandwiches is delicious. A little pricey for light bites, but very pleasant. Coffee: Not bad. A little on the dark side, roast wise, but fresh and a well pulled shot. Flat white was the right size, but a little foamy. Better than average, would go again.

Needed some cupcakes making last minute, contacted Olivia’s and they where more then happy to help! Made me 20 cupcakes plus some vegan too! They where amazing and the service was fab! Such a friendly bunch and lovely place! Highly recommend!! Thank you

I had a great experience at Olivia's Cafe and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious breakfast food and excellent service. The pancakes with bacon and maple syrup were a standout dish, but everything else I saw coming out of the kitchen looked just as delicious. I'll definitely be back!

The best croissants and bakery in town . Maybe even in the county. The bakery is amazing and definitely best place for breakfast . I also think they make a pretty good flat white . Highly recommended joint

Really nice atmosphere, spacious so that even when it’s full you have plenty of your own space. Food has always been good and fresh and I love the chai latte with oat milk . Definitely a fresh and alternative place in Loughborough, I get some European vibes from the decor. Staff friendly and efficient.

Coffee experience is pretty bad, complained and said that there was something wrong with the soy milk, it was curdled. I’m a barista and a vegan, I know bad coffee and bad milk when I see it. They told me it’s just the way it is. The one extra star is for their pastries and bread, but customer service and coffee is not good.

If you're looking for delicious, authentic pastries with a great cup of coffee, try Olivias. I can recommend the Pain au Raisin - amazing!
