Olive Tree Coffee House

Such a lovely place. The staff were so helpful, we had ordered an afternoon tea but I’d forgotten to say about no mayonnaise in the sandwiches for my husband, this was no problem for them as they made some fresh sandwiches straight away. They comfy seating inside or you can sit outside, they even have a few pods your group can have their food in. I’d recommend this place to anyone wanting a pleasant place for food and drinks.

I don't give 5 stars across the board very often but this little gem deserves them. From the second we walked through the door the staff were on point directing us to a table, we ordered our food and drinks and even though they were full to capacity everything came out in good time and was hot. I had some minor alterations to my meal due to being on slimming world and it wasn't any problem. The prices for the portion sizes is quite good. I can see why it's busy all the time, we will most definitely be going back at some point.

We had an afternoon tea. Nice food. Good latte coffee. I like this place it's always so cosy and comfy.

Enjoyed afternoon tea with my daughter and son-in-law. Food was lovely and plentiful. We couldn't eat it all but were kindly supplied with boxes to bring our cakes home in. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean, modern environment.

We often visit here with my father in law and sit outside on the terrace and enjoy a pot of tea.
We occasionally treat ourselves to a preordered high tea, with cakes, sandwiches etc. These are really delicious and well worth the visit.
The Olive Tree has great, friendly staff and the ambience is tremendous. Set amongst the grounds of the home, it is both peaceful and relaxing.
Over a relatively short period we've watched this business becoming established and go on to become a favourite of many.
Well worth a visit.

Last week we had the best themed afternoon tea ever at the Olive Tree. As always the food was excellent and all the staff were very friendly and attentive. We are so lucky to have this coffee house on our doorstep. Roll on the next themed event.

We had a tea for two. That was delicious, had more than enough food we took the cakes home as just couldnt eat another thing. We will defiantly be back & recommended to all.

This new looking place is rather hidden away and not really signposted as far as I could see but turned out to be much nicer than expected. It was quiet mid morning but there were four staff working and service was quick and friendly. We had decent coffee and cake, there is a little menu with a variety of savoury food also. Prices were fine and I'd recommend a visit.

Sat outside in the sunshine with an enormous slice of cake and a cup of tea. Peaceful setting and very enjoyable as always.

Fantastic!
First rate service, tasty food, great atmosphere. Beautiful location. All in all top rated place to eat. Thankyou all, we will definitely be back for more.

We had a great time we came for the grease theme afternoon tea it was all nice

We sat in one of the pods in the rain. It was a very peaceful compared to indoors. I had a cheese scone which was lovely but would have been better slightly warmed. I will definitely go back.

used the pods outside. Comfy & warm. Lovely. Nice Staff too.

I went for my Birthday for afternoon tea and the food, service and setting was amazing. Thoroughly recommend and will definitely be returning.

This place is one of my favourite spots in Lowestoft. Beautiful grounds with horses and a duck pond, and the staff are lovely and the food is amazing!

Little hidden gem of a coffee shop situated in the grounds of Carlton Hall residential village but open to the general public. We just dropped in for coffee and cake which was lovely. Would definitely recommend and will be back.

Today being Shrove Tuesday went to The Olive Tree for the first time and sampled their pancakes. They were wonderful.

The staff were very friendly and efficient. We shall certainly be going back. The outside seating area is dog friendly which is a bonus.

Love this place, great food and a lovely setting. Very good value for money.

It was very busy when we arrived so the staff offered us to a seat in one of the outside heated pods which we accepted. We found it to be great fun and the view of gardens were very festive and well maintained. The food was very good especially with me being gluten free, it's always a worry eating out. The sandwiches were yummy and the g/f carrot cake was the best! Lovely place!

I really love this place, being vegan it is hard to find somewhere to just go for a cake but the team had everything available, no worries. Really friendly staff and atmosphere, one of my favourite places
