Lovely lunch however, charged twice and after 3 visits to resolve and instructions from my bank, showing evidence, owner veered from initially offering refund to refusing, and embarrassingly, he was argumentative and intimidating in public, using my card to drag another customer into the discussion. Advise to stay away as not to be trusted and a total lack of customer service.

Excellent little cafe, very helpful staff (even when busy), and the food was delicious. The platter was a good plateful, and a great variety. The Bakhlava was pretty good too! Worth a trip to Wivenhoe to visitVegetarian options: Great selection of vegetarian dishes. Not all vegan

My friend and I had finished a trail walk around Wivenhoe and came across this charming place. Not our usual choice but we thought we would try it. We had a platter which was varied and very tasty. Also some pastries for dessert!The owner was a lovely gentleman as were the two younger gentlemen waiting.I will definitely return with my wife in the future.

We had visited in July and really enjoyed it another visit in December and it’s drastically changed the food, presentation and staff all really poor more like a cafe than restaurant and the worst falafel I have ever had really dry, stale bread, sad brown iceberg lettuce and little/no tomato, no olives, and not freshly made falafel really bland and dry honestly wont be returning here. The old food/owners were much better.

The Olive Branch is such a hidden gem, the food was so fresh, and tasted wonderful, we can't wait to return.

I visited for lunch with a friend and we had a delicious and very filling lunch. We both had wraps which were served with a small, tasty salad. I like the fact that the menu is vegetarian. It's a friendly café, clearly very popular with the locals. Luckily we came for an early lunch and were able to get a table. I can imagine it getting very busy. I highly recommend and can't wait to come back.
