A Lovely Little Spot: Little Olive in Hornchurch Little Olive is a charming coffee shop in Hornchurch that I always enjoy visiting. The atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming, and the smell of coffee is wonderful. They make a really good cup of coffee, and their selection of cakes and snacks is tempting.

A True Gem in Hornchurch! Little Olive is near my home and has become a true sanctuary for me and my family. The warm, family-run service makes every visit feel special. The food is light, healthy, and absolutely delicious, and their coffee is hands down the best in Hornchurch! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming—I always feel comfortable going with my baby, even on the fussiest days. It’s the kind of place you want to share with friends and family. A must-visit spot with truly exceptional service. Thank you Shopna

chose this place on a bit of a whim as my partner and i were looking for a different breakfast spot! interior is really pretty with some nice outdoor seating too, coffee is lovely and the food quality and presentation is 10/10. i’d rather travel 10 minutes longer and come back here than return to my local spots

The best place for quick and healthy breakfast or lunch just by the station for stay in or take away. My salmon-egg-avocado sandwich was ready in under 10 min I’d say, and was delicious. The staff is so welcoming and professional , I could definitely feel a nice vibe from the people who work there. Thank you

What a LOVELY cafe! Very pretty decor; warm, clean and welcoming. Staff are super-friendly and came to check that you're happy with your food/drink after serving you. Great choice of music, which added to the ambience. I had a cup of tea - really big, decent-sized cup - and a nice solid slice of banana cake, which was light and delicious. I could have easily said "yes" to some of the tasty-looking brunch/lunch choices that other customers had ordered. Excellent location near Hornchurch tube station. Heartily recommend this place; I'll definitely return if I'm in the area again. Next time, I'll order a meal!

It is a lovely family-run cafe that offers friendly service and great food. It is ideally located for those who want to grab something before catching the train. I had the halloumi and bacon toastie,. The sourdough was lovely., and there were a generous amount of toppings in the toastie. I'll definitely be back!
