The Olive Café

The Olive Cafe is a warm, welcoming café located on Barronstrand Street in the heart of Waterford City, where fresh breakfasts, hearty lunches and standout coffee come together with genuine local hospitality. Run by Wayne & Krisztina, The Olive began its journey as a much-loved food truck before growing into the café it is today, bringing the same passion, big flavours and friendly service into a cosy space you’ll want to linger in.

Our menu is built around comfort and quality, showcasing locally sourced ingredients where possible, with plates that are generous, satisfying, and made with care. Coffee is at the centre of what we do, we proudly serve our own blend specialty coffee from Groundstate Roasters, poured with attention and consistency, whether you’re after a quick takeaway or a slower sit-in moment.

Proudly named Award-Winning Best Café 2025 (WLR & LEO) and Best Use of Social Media at the 2026 Irish Restaurant Awards, the Olive Cafe is a standout stop for locals and visitors alike, perfect for a relaxed catch-up, a solo coffee break, or fueling up before exploring the city.
