We LOVE Olive Oyl’s. In the 20 years we’ve lived in Tri-town, it’s our family go to at least once on the weekends. When the kids are home for school breaks throughout the year they frequent Olive Oyl’s several times a week. We love the vibe, the food, location, and especially Kevin and Jen! We are lucky to have such a great place so close to home!
My son (age 8) and I headed to beautiful downtown Essex for a delicious lunch at Olive Oyl’s. But it turned into an even more amazing experience than expected: We met Kevin- who talked with my kiddo, gave him a chef hat, showed him around… and he got to pick out yummy cookies (thanks for the extra one for me!)! It was so wonderful, and my son loved it! Thank you so much for going above and beyond to make our day so special! It meant a lot 💜
This spot is dope they have great stuff. To be fair the main reason I stop there is because they have these ice cream sandwiches that are unbelievable, its not something they make but they're the only place I've seen them. But aside from that really cool spot, good sandwiches, and sides

Olive Oyl’s Restaurant is a well-loved, family-owned spot in Essex, known as an Essex legend. It has been serving the community since the days at the foot of Main Street and remains a favorite for breakfast, lunch, and takeout. The restaurant offers a variety of delicious options, including specialty sandwiches, grilled cheese, and freshly made baked goods like zucchini chocolate chip muffins that are highly praised. Customers frequently enjoy their coffee, especially the iced chai latte, which is considered the best by many. The staff are kind and treat visitors like family, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is situated in a restored gas station, adding a nostalgic charm, and often features music like Sunday morning jazz, enhancing the dining experience. While most orders are consistently top quality, there was a rare instance of a missing ingredient in a takeaway turkey wrap, but the overall service remains reliable. Olive Oyl’s is a must-visit for great food, friendly staff, and a pleasant environment that keeps guests coming back.
