The best bakery/coffee shop in the area. Plenty room for families and prams. We were very pleased on how nice and friendly the staff was with us. Huge selection of cakes and desserts, super affordable, they also have ice cream scoops and good coffee. Toilet is clean and spacious. We will come back, for sure.

I see that a lot of people have made bad reviews on here about staff attitude. I came here for the first time today and I think what it is, is a language or cultural barrier. Yes the attitude of the staff was a little "blunt" for want of a better word, but actually you know what, I prefer it. The staff here seemed relaxed and happy. I hate it when you go somewhere and the staff are saccharin sweet; I just want an authentic interaction with someone. Staff are on their feet all day, and I just want my coffee and pastry. I'd rather an authentic interaction than a false one. Too many people these days expect a performance from staff. The beef pastry was great, very high quality and something I haven't tried before. Lovely and soft pastry. The coffee was okay, nothing out of the ordinary. I'll be visiting here again :)

Hello Rebecca, thank you for your review and your understanding on our hard-working staff. We work tirelessly at the bakery to ensure everyone has a great experience but we are only human after all. Sometimes language barriers also play a part and so can affect general conversations. Moving away from this, we appreciate your love for the bakery and the food and are glad you enjoyed it. Whilst we may believe our coffee is worth slightly more praise, we appreciate all of your kind comments nonetheless. We hope to see you in again soon. Thanks, Olimpia

Impressed by the variety of cakes and desserts and the wonderful coffees. The clean setting and family friendly atmosphere is a plus. Very friendly staff and fast service. We had a fab coffee break after a nice walk on the high street of Margate. Special thanks to staff Eric who served us well and took the group photo for us without additional charge.😉🤣

Revisit Much quicker service this time. Very friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. Greek music in background definitely cheers up with colder weather. Great coffee and pastries as before. June visit Excellent coffee shop. Great options of hot drinks and cakes. We stopped for a quick coffee and had great sandwiches and Spanakopita (spinach and cheese pie). Service took some time but was worth the wait.

We really enjoyed our lunch here. It is spotlessly clean, airy and bright. The toilet is accessible for people who need more space and grip bars. The waitress is lovely and very efficient. Great food, lovely people.

The food, coffee and ice cream here is always amazing - flavorful, freshly baked and always the perfect temperature. The staff have always been lovely and helpful, and it's a very peaceful yet cheery atmosphere that is nice for people visiting Margate who want a snack or drink somewhere close to the high street and just up the road from the beach, and locals who want to try something new and delicious and make this place their main spot to come and have a coffee with their friends.

Ok new favourite place ever! As someone who is besotted with all things Greek and has been learning the language for almost a year, to find something like this which feels so authentic here in Kent is a dream. The service was absolutely representative of true Greek hospitality, the food was absolutely delicious and it was just such a nice atmosphere with the music, great seating etc in such a great location! Have already decided to come back Saturday evening for some spinach pie 😜 Ευχαριστώ!!! ❤️

One of the best bakeries I’ve been to in the UK. Olimpia made a weekend in Margate feel like an escape to the Aegean. A totally unexpected but wonderful and totally authentic surprise. The selection is incredible. The orange pie is better than most I’ve had in Greece. The staff are super friendly and helpful. I think I’d come back to Margate just for this experience. ευχαριστώ!

We’re so happy we can bring a bit of Greece to you! It’s great to hear you enjoyed Olimpia and we can’t wait to see you again 🤍 ευχαριστώ🙏🏼
