Olympia Cafe is absolutely fantastic. It's no frills and truly a place that welcomes everyone. The food is excellent and really affordable, but never over the top (so if you're looking for something fancy and artisanal this is not the spot for you). The owners are extremely kind and it's usually fast, even if it's busy. Lots of things are good, but the Korean additions to the menu, like the Bulgolgi Sub and steamed dumplings, are especially standout and add some personal touch to what is otherwise a classic diner menu.

Pretty decent no frills diner (sorry, I mean cafe) with yummy food. To be honest, I stopped by Olympia Cafe, because it was one of the few places open around 6 am. In fact, it might have been the only place in the area that was open, so I pretty much had the cafe all to myself. For my dining pleasure, I went with a waffle deluxe meal which came with a side of eggs and bacon for about $15 bucks. Overall, I thought my food was good, and the quality was more or less what I expected for an in and out diner. The two ladies working behind they counter were nice. While I would not go out of my way to have breakfast here, it is good to know that this option exists if I so happen to be in the area again.

Very convenient location. Food is good. Staff is friendly. I would recommend this restaurant for people who work in trades it's an old restaurant and sitting is limited.

Unpretentious! Ladies with their hair under bandannas hover over the grill while Korean order-guy hands you a Wet N Dry cloth with your change: "You can clean table!" Beveled mirror wall, orange vinyl, orange formica, the bar stools aligned by the counter, this place is an anachronism. Fluffy blueberry pancakes, properly over-medium eggs and hand-sweetened coffee (how many sugar spoons?) will bring me back!

My husband and I were in the area and stopped at this little hole in the wall for a light bite to eat. Cute, retro classic 70s feel reminiscent of my childhood, with counter seating, booth or table. Place looked like it hadn't been updated ever, but I like that. It was clean! A variety of menu items to choose from, including full on breakfast platters, a variety of coffees, soups, sandwiches, milkshakes, candy bars, bags of chips, sodas and they even have Bubble tea! We were having an early dinner; more like a late lunch, and split a Turkey and Ham sub with lettuce, tomato and mayo. We added bacon to it, and a side of crinkle cut French fries. They gave my husband and I a massive portion. They did not skimp out. Service was friendly. Food was delicious! Our sub roll was soft and fresh, meat was plentiful, bacon was crispy like I like it. The French fries were great! Hot, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I have absolutely no complaints in regards to food and service, and will definitely return again if I'm in the area. Sandwich and fries were around $13. The only complaint that I had was the restoom was dated in a bad way, super small and musky. If these folks can upgrade their restroom, I'd say it was a near perfect sandwich shop! Oh...and if you really want to get that nostalgic feeling, I spotted old school glass bottles of orange soda available.
