| - Olly's has become part of my daily life these past few months as I walk past it every day on my way to work. And almost every day, it gets me wandering inside before I begin my day. I love the deli / buffet-type layout although it can be a bit overwhelming to begin with as there is so much variety spread out over quite a large space.
They serve a selection of hot and cold dishes, salads, sandwiches, wraps, pastries etc. Not to mention the variety of coffees and teas, a small size being under $1!
I am usually there around breakfast time and there are always people grabbing, what looks like, a delicious hot breakfast. I have not tried any of the hot food selection that they have as I usually prefer to grab and go but the self-serve buffet, filet mignon sandwich and pastas definitely look tempting.
I am always drawn to the pastry section to begin with and they have a great selection of croissants, muffins and more. They do this delicious big cookie made with oats and chocolate (or berries) which I have quickly become addicted to. I also love their strawberry and clementine salad with poppy-seed dressing - it is super fresh with quality ingredients... definitely my favourite salad there!
The buffet/ hot food is usually finished around 4pm but sometimes around that time, a lot of the puddings, salads and sandwiches are 2 for 1 so you can grab yourself a bargain from the front fridges.
I have taken off a star due to the service... There has been a few instances where I have found the cashiers / workers to be quite rude.
If you are looking for somewhere downtown to grab a quick breakfast or lunch, I highly recommend Olly's for this. It is conveniently located at Promenades Cathedral, not far from The Bay.
