Olive's Coffee & Bakehouse — Restaurant in Newburyport

I was so excited to try Olive's Coffee & Bakehouse after seeing it on the map near where I was staying for vacation. I like that they open bright and early at 6am so you can grab a cup around sunrise. I tried their seasonal iced chocolate-covered cherry latte, and oh my, was it delicious! I was not expecting the cherry flavor to come through so strong and taste so real! I didn't get a chance to ask if it was a housemade cherry sauce or if they used a pre-made syrup, but it was delicious, and not too sweet. I wish there was slightly less chocolate flavor just because it did overpower the espresso a bit, but I still enjoyed every sip! I also ordered a bacon, egg, and cheddar cheese breakfast sandwich on an Everything bagel. The bagel was so soft and fluffy and the bacon was nice and crispy; it was all perfectly balanced and portioned for a nice breakfast! I also wanted to try their signature biscuit, which was a buttermilk biscuit with lemon curd. The biscuit was nice and buttery and soft, but I wish there was more lemon curd! It was only a tiny dollop in the middle on the top, not filled all the way, so it was a bit underwhelming. The next day I came back to try their drip coffee and it was good, but nothing too special. I also felt like the person at the register was kind of annoyed/rushing me (both visits), but the person who was grabbing pastries (both visits) was super friendly. The atomosphere inside was beautiful, and there's a nice large seating lawn outside with Adirondack chairs, benches, and tables. There are a few pesky yellow jackets though which can be annoying. Also, I'm not sure how the parking works there, but there's a very tiny parking lot and when I got there all the cars were double-parked. I was worried about someone blocking me in, so when a spot opened up, I didn't pull in all the way. There's also some non-specified street parking adjacent to the building and some designated street parking in front. I just wish the parking lot were better labeled so I would have felt more confident staying longer. But overall, I did enjoy this place and would reccomend...

From the moment I stepped inside, I was enchanted by the charming decor, which creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

One of the highlights of my visit was discovering their mint matcha latte - a refreshing and innovative twist on the classic matcha latte. It was perfectly balanced, offering a delightful combination of flavors that I hadn't experienced before. This drink alone is worth a visit!

The staff at Olive's Coffee & Bakehouse deserves a special mention for their friendliness and excellent service. They were attentive, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their work, which added to the overall positive ambiance of the cafe.

The food was nothing short of fantastic. The pastries and breakfast options were plentiful and all looked tempting. I particularly enjoyed the chia seed pudding and the frittata, both of which were flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. The chia seed pudding was the perfect blend of texture and taste, while the frittata was cooked to perfection, packed with ingredients that melded together wonderfully.

Just happened across this gem on my way back from a job. The atmosphere was just fantastic. The owner has done a wonderful job with setting up a space that feels like a joy to be in. There was some lo-fi music playing through that made me want to spend time here. But unfortunately the space is small and there were no chairs or tables, so it's pretty much take out only.

Though I normally just opt for black coffee, I got a Salted Caramel Latte to see their craft. I also got enticed by the cookies since this is also a bake shop. The latte was immaculate, with wonderful consistency and flavor. I would have preferred more caramel flavor, but that's a preference thing. Just something to take note of if you want a lot of flavor in your coffee. The cookie was very good, but not perfect, and a little pricey at almost $3 for a relatively small one--for a bakery anyway. The other baked goods were similarly on the high end, and just a bit more than I would expect and have seen at other bakeries.

The owner was nice and proud of the shop, and she should be. It's beautiful. I was looking forward to sitting down and doing my work notes, so I would definitely prefer a place to sit. And I didn't personally find the cookie to be a good value. But what a great place and a well-made coffee. If I'm back in the area, I'll definitely...
