About The Olive Branch Cafe

The Olive Branch Cafe is a contemporary independent cafe on Market Street in the centre of Alnwick, occupying a bright, welcoming space known for its boldly coloured walls and relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Local artwork is displayed and offered for sale on the walls, and there is separate seating that makes the cafe comfortable for dog owners. Its central position and cheerful character have made it a popular daytime spot with both residents and visitors to the town.

The kitchen focuses on home-cooked, Mediterranean-inspired breakfasts, brunches and lunches prepared using locally sourced ingredients, with an unusually broad menu catering to vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diners. Coffee and homemade cakes feature prominently and are consistently praised in customer reviews. The emphasis throughout is on fresh, made-to-order food and a laid-back setting a short walk from Alnwick's Market Place and main shopping streets.
