"OMG You should review Ollies!" Sabz cheered, forgetting the rage we had after some crazy lady almost ran us over at the parking lot. Apparently we miscommunicated the pace of our walk and should've clearly jumped out in front of her so she could stop. Hag.
Anyways yeah Ollies rules! I met up with Sabz on our lunch break because we were both within the vicinity. I didn't know what to expect based on how Sabz raved about this place. I imagined a fancy Italian grocery like Lina's or Sunterra and it sounded like I'm about to have a $20 dollar meal.
Wrong! It's located in one of the office buildings in Southland. I have a bias against cafes catered specifically for office workers since all they care about are costs and bank on convenience and location to force people to eat at them.
But Ollies is a great exception. I followed everyone's example and grabbed a lunch box and piled on the day's specials. They have salads, main courses, and side dishes. They had a great selection of food that according to Sabz, changes everyday. They had well known items like roast chicken and mash potatoes to unique specials fish cakes, quinoa, roast squash. When I piled everything into my box I expected to pay over $20 but it came to a cool $12!
