Basic bakery/deli serving baked goods & an all-day menu with Greek & vegetarian specialties.

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.

My Worst Experience!! Ordered Chicken, Mozzarella and Tomato On Baguette!! 1st of all if I knew I would be served a prepped cold sandwich I would have never ordered. The bread was so hard, it activated my TMJ shifting my jaw approx 2mm! Cold Chicken with no taste, along with cold mozzarella & tomato just as dry as the owner! Very Disappointed!! You can give me a refund, but you can’t refund me my lunch time!! Never Again!!

Olive’s did an absolutely amazing catering our event at Princeton University. So many of our attendees commented on the delicious food selections and I have to agree on that front. Even better than that was the service we received from the minute I reached out to them the first time. The whole team could not have been more responsive, accommodating, and kind. From each, and every person that I spoke to or dealt with in person and at the event, Olive’s, staff was the height of professionalism and Customer Service. I can’t thank them enough for making us look good to our members!
I have to give a special shout out to the delivery team, who not only went above and beyond to accommodate our every need, but also graciously refused to accept a tip stating that it had already been included in our Invoice. That kind of integrity is hard to come by these days and it is a testament to their stellar team. I highly recommend them for all your catering needs!

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!

Olives need to get a better naming/ordering system. Good luck if there’s more than 5 people waiting and someone orders the same thing… someone will either take your food or there will be 5 minutes or confusion. The employees don’t call out the food right either sometimes.

Great place to go for sandwiches and other quick meals. Some of the prices can’t be beat either: $2.95 for an egg & cheese sandwich on a bagel! Other favorites: double fudge brownies, truffle baby cake, and any breakfast sandwich with avocado! The only downside is that there’s no seating available inside.

Genuinely my favorite breakfast sandwich ever! Get a bacon egg and cheese w/ salsa verde & avocado… it’s a game changer. Also, the Santa Fe chicken sandwich w/ chipotle mayo is incredible. Their souvlaki-style chicken is to die for. Great service every time! One of the highlights of visiting my boyfriend in Princeton.

Olives has great food all around. The sandwich corner and the muffins are a highlight for me!
