Extremely disappointing brunch. Wouldn't recommend the “associated wait” time - Perhaps the most over hyped breakfast spot in Portland

We were excited to try Cafe Olli and overall the food was good. Unfortunately it took us about 40 minutes to receive our food and each item for four people came out at different times, about 5 minutes delay with each dish. So, the first person served received her dish about 20 minutes before the final person was served. The people sat on either side of us and who were sat about 15 minutes after us, received their food before we received ours and received their food all together. I appreciate the community feel of the restaurant, I just wish the service had been more organized allowing us the enjoy our food all together.

Lunch with a friend... great vibe, great service, great food. What more would one want? Thank you, Cafe Olli!

Cafe Olli never disappoints. Always super fresh and innovative. Always incredibly high quality and tasty! Whether for brunch or dinner, it's a friend and family favorite.

This is one of my go to brunch places on Sunday morning in Portland. The food is top notch, the service is super friendly and sitting at the bar and watching each item that they pull out of the brick oven always makes me swoon. This time I had the breakfast porridge with poached egg and braised greens. So delicious. The olive oil fig muffin I had with my cappuccino was the perfect marriage. Thanks for meal that is always satisfying and yummy.

Meh. $21 for bacon, eggs, and dressed lettuce with a side of butter and a tablespoon of jam? Wow. That's not considering the required service fee. Can't say I'll be racing back anytime soon.

We left after 45 minutes when the food had still not come, did not appear to be on the horizon. They had a large private group in a room next-door that seemed to be taking all of their attention. They so not have the capacity to balance the private event room with a high-quality experience for diners in the restaurant

The server was attentive, professional and very pleasant. The olives are amazing and like no olives you've ever had! Try them! My Marguerite pizza was amazing and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his short rib cannellini. Would highly recommend

Seating was crowded - tables too close. We had a reservation & expected a much better table. Service was a little slow. Seemed like the servers were under staffed. Food was outstanding.

I wanted to like this place more than I did. Everything is unique, made to order, and seasonal. Staff was friendly and it was busy. As a result service was slow. Food was freshly made and also was very pricey. Our group was split on how much they enjoyed their food. It was good, but not great.

Sunday brunch. Lively, convivial vibe throughout. Warm greeting from staff and prompt service for drinks and food orders. As our server explained, food is all from scratch and as a result our order took a while to deliver. When food arrived it was attractive, generously portioned, wholesome, and tasty. Only minor quibble, some dishes arrived well in advance of others. Service was efficient and genuinely friendly, prices were fair, everyone seemed to be having a good time - what's not to like?

Love everything about this place! Staff, quality and creativity of food, ambiance...all of it! Pizza is huge but they're seasonal pies are amazing! Veggies and sides are deelish! AND...Best Panna Cotta EVER! Great wine/beer/cocktails! Also, gotta love the community service as part of their biz model. Support them!

This was my first visit: I'd been meaning to try their pizza and I wasn't disappointed. I arrived at dinner opening (5pm) on a Saturday; I had a reservation but that early it wasn't crowded. I opted for the chef's counter so I could gawk at the pizza-making. Arancini offered a nice start; I had a "Limoni" (Limoncello substituting for gin in a Negroni) - tasty but a little sweet for me. For my main I had the classic test of good pizza: pomodoro, aka, tomato pie. Dough, sauce, seasoning. It was outstanding: texture and flavor were just right, and a glass of their dry Lambrusco went well with it (I'd never had that Lambrusco but will look for it by the bottle). Excellent service, all around 5 of 5. Can't wait to return and check out their adjacent bakery.

Food and service was good. Not excellent but very good. The price was very high for what you get. I am from Seattle and cornelly's Seattle is similar concept but better food and value.

We had a wonderful experience. The menus is small and everything we had was delicious. The chickpeas salad was like an Italian pasta salad flavor and delish. The pomodoro pizza w stracchiatella cheese was wonderful. Great service! For a full service experience, nice wine and good cocktails for pizza and more we highly recommend
