If you live close to Canning Town station and you have not yet had a breakfast here on a Sunday, I feel sorry for you. You should go there tomorrow morning and treat yourself to a Mediterranean breakfast. The beauty of living in London is not just that it’s a city rich in it’s history, it’s where we are headed, who we have become and what we are right now, we are a culturally rich city, you will find all kinds of people, cultures and cuisines in London and it’s served here sometimes better than where it comes from. This cafe is a perfect example, the Greek yogurts you have here with different kinds of breads and toasts. The omelettes, honey, scrambles, teas, sausages and cheeses served here in breakfast are beyond delicious, refreshing or good, they are an experience! It’s like your sitting on the Mediterranean basin, the breakfast here reminds me of those 5* restaurants and hotels of Thira & Zakynthos. It’s a small hidden gem, near Canning Town station, you won’t see it massively advertised, it’s local, it’s tucked away, the people that go here are regular customers or passers.

I get the Mediteranian Breakfast and a Coffee when I go to this place. The food is always good and very reasonably priced. The staff are polite and the service is fast enough that you can eat there on your break and still get back to work on time.

Oliver's has been renovated since my last visit in early 2020. The same friendly staff are there now (November 2021). Good menu choice, good food and value.

I love this friendly little cafe in Canning town. I used to visit perhaps 6 times a year and the Chef always rememberered what my favourite order was. I haven't been able to visit for 2 years until today (January 22) and I walked in and he immediately recognised me. The waitress came over, and as I started to explain what I would like she smiled and completed my sentence with my order in full. I laughed and she explained that he remembered. Anyway, they have had a little makeover since I visited last adding a longer, smarter order counter top and some very comfortable seating. Try the armchair by the window - very relaxing. The same cosy un-pretentious atmosphere, the same friendly staff and the same broad selection of good quality world food at fair prices. Thank you Oliver's Garden (as the sign now says - previously Oliverss cafe).
