Olivia's Cafe by Beez LLC
1450 Western Ave Suite 107, Albany, NY
Crema's Take
“Tucked behind an office building in Albany, Olivia's Cafe is a genuinely welcoming neighborhood gem where the owner takes personal care—literally calling to confirm your burger toppings—and the kitchen delivers generous, flavorful portions that feel homemade and honest. The vibe is pure comfort: a cozy spot perfect for lingering with friends or colleagues over well-executed comfort food and drinks, backed by a loyal following who rave about everything from the chicken parm to the proprietor's house-made hot sauce. It's the kind of place where you're treated like family from the moment you walk in, hidden gem status and all.”

We ordered a hamburger and chicken wings. The hamburger was cooked nicely and very tasty. The owner even called to ask if we wanted toppings on the hamburger! The wings were cooked well. Not burned or too crisp. The flavor of the breading is nice! Not too salty and full of flavor! We got it without sauce, and it was great without it!
Great local spot, very kind owners. Head to the back of the building, not visible from the main road. Plenty of parking. Worth a visit. Try the proprietor's hot sauce!
I had never been here before. I saw a sign for a special which was Chicken Parm I got some of my co workers together and we ordered. The portions were enough for two meals. After enjoying that. The following week I decided to try a nice salad everything was so fresh. I recommended it to a few of coworkers and they loved it as much as I did. Yesterday I had an order of Mozzarella sticks again really good. Today however was the ultimate I am not really a breakfast person however I tried the Great Dane BS it was sooo good I recommended it to everyone. The owner Rick is a one man band and still has time to chat with you. Great customer service. The cafe is very inviting tables to sit and enjoy your food.
Stopped in on a whim while waiting for my mechanic to open up and I'm so glad I found this gem! If you go to the back of the office building and walk in the door, it is right to the left. I had such a great experience with the owner. Very nice, sociable and was cool to talk to. My breakfast sandwich was delicious! I had The Great Dane. 2 eggs, hashbrown and sausage on a roll. Now that I know where this is, I'll be back.
I had a wonderful experience at Olivas Cafe Family! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff and the cozy atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. Every dish had that perfect homemade touch, and the portions were generous. The service was excellent as well; the staff was attentive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed. It’s rare to find a place that makes you feel like part of the family, but Olivas Cafe truly does just that. If you’re looking for a great meal in a warm and inviting setting, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
