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.

Not sure what to get? For breakfast, a #6 wrap is the way to go. Grab a blueberry lemon muffin and a drink and you're set for the morning! Great lunch options, and I love the fries here. Try the oreo cheesecake too.

We order take out from Olives from time to time and everything is always super fresh and simply yummy. They really know how to cook a grilled chicken breast that actually tastes good. I really came to write this review because I just tried their spanakopita and it's so amazing everyone needed to know about it. It took me right to Greece. I know they have some Greek food on the menu but I would suggest they add more Greek dishes. I would buy them :)

I've come here to pick up sandwiches (custom or pre-made, nice and fresh!) I've tried their pre-made (love the fresh mozzarella and tomato sandwich) and their custom (curry chicken salad on a sub). They also have a hot food bar (great meatballs), cold salads (chicken, egg), and a great selection of desserts and cookies. This place is a must when I'm in the area. There is space inside to eat, and the customer service is very friendly.

Olives is my go-to quick breakfast place. I always get a pork roll, egg and cheese there and it costs $7.95. Substitutions for the bread can be made for an additional cost for a bagel. I do enjoy this on a bagel but it taste just as good on the bread I typically get it on. The service is good, they make the sandwiches on the spot, so usually there will be a wait. I would say the wait is typically 10 minutes long. This is a fresh deli and the ambiance is pretty much seating outside and very few seats inside. This is a quick in and out place to go and a great place to grab a quick bite. Be sure to try their Baklava and mini Fruit Tart. Those two are amazing. You can skip on their Flan.

I used to be a big Olives fan- but they overcharged me and refused to compensate me for it (for avocado but didn’t get any). I come here all the time and mistakes happen, but I would expect better service and that I wouldn’t have to pay for a staff’s mistake. Also, they are very inefficient, and each sandwich would take at least 10-15 minutes to make, regardless of demand.

Olives Catering services were impeccable! We used their services for my son's Baptism. Lulu was a pleasure to work with as I compiled on my order; she was very responsive and helpful. The server they provided was excellent, the delivery was seamless, and most importantly the food was a hit! I would recommend Olives to anyone looking for a caterer and we will be sure to use them again in the future.

Disappointing that spaghetti and meatballs (small plate) comes with a bunch of pasta but only 2 meatballs.
We had the salad bar combo (you pick 3) and it was so yummy! They let me try a few things which I appreciated since I had never been there before and am very indecisive. When I saw the container size, I didn’t think it would be that much food for the price BUT they really fill it up! I was so happy - orzo pasta salad, lentil salad, Greek salad. I even had some leftover for the next day! Can’t wait for our next Princeton visit! I’ll definitely get extra sides to take home.

Food is tasty, but expensive. They don’t go by the pound like most delis. I spent $26 for 5 meatballs, no pasta, one chicken breast, and a side of broccoli. The food appears healthy, but it’s actually swimming in oil!

Food was great, quantities were generous and prices were great. They even have real soda, (cane sugar). Service was good. They have outdoor seating and some inside. An umbrella would have been nice outside, but I'll go back the next time I need to eat and I'm in Princeton.

OLIVES WHAT IS HAPPENING!! Your #6 Shrunk in size TWISE in just the past 10 day! I’ve been getting #6 from olives regularly for the past 2 years and it was always phenomenal, but then this Thursday it was so skinny, had literally half of the amount of eggs, avocado cheese and etc. I thought it was just an accident. But today, just now, I just ordered 3 for my family and they are TINY. If this is your way to combat inflation it’s horrible! No one wants to eat this now that its 50% dough! Just raise the price by a dollar or two but keep the product the same!

Food was amazing! They don't have indoor dining, however, so you have to find your own place outside or at another restaurant (which can pose problems during the summer).
