About Olive Tree Café
The Olive Tree Café is a friendly, independent café in the heart of Loughborough, offering a welcoming spot for dog owners looking for a quality coffee and a bite to eat in town. The café has a warm, relaxed interior with colourful decor, comfortable seating, and a community-minded atmosphere that makes it popular with locals and visitors alike. It is the kind of neighbourhood café that feels like a home from home, situated near Queens Park.

The location makes it a convenient pit stop during a shopping trip or after a stroll through the park.
What to Expect
The menu is varied and generously portioned. Breakfasts are a strong suit, with full English options alongside lighter choices such as avocado toast, granola bowls, eggs Benedict, and pancakes. Lunch brings sandwiches, wraps, salads, and daily specials that often draw on Mediterranean flavours - fitting, given the name. The coffee is good, served from a reputable roaster, and the selection of teas and soft drinks is equally thoughtful.
Homemade cakes, traybakes, and baked goods are displayed on the counter and change regularly. The portions are generous and the prices are fair, making this a reliable everyday café rather than an occasional treat. The atmosphere is unhurried, and you are welcome to linger over a second cup without being made to feel you should move on.
