I’ve been going to the Green Olive since they opened, their salads are INCREDIBLE. I feel so lucky to have them on my doorstep!
In the last year, I’ve been regularly ordering sandwich platters for business meetings. Every time, my customers are BLOWN away - mentioning how soft the bread is and how tasty the fillings are. My boss enjoys coming out with me, just to get her hands on the sandwiches! It’s wonderful to be able to support a local business whilst getting such great quality food - in recyclable containers too! Win win!
Customer service is always brilliant, I always have quick response times, it’s super easy to order and pay. The girls are so lovely and go above and beyond to help!
The Green Olive also support local businesses which I love - with locally sourced coffee and sweet treats.
It’s 100% worth a trip to Porthcawl to get a warm jacket potato, sandwich, salad, panini and a blondie to enjoy by the sea! Couldn’t recommend enough!- Service

Thanks for the Amazing Review Maddie! We love seeing you week in week out! X
We had a very lovely lunch here, with so many options! We ordered the Cajun chicken rice box which was amazing! And we had the ham, mozzarella and pesto panini, which was also very nice! Once we ordered we walked down to the beach for a great lunch

Little gem in Porthcawl, fresh food and stunning coffee! Where I can I always try and find independent places to grab a bite to eat, this place fitted the bill and what's more it did Coaltown coffee! My fav!! I had a prawn mayo wrap and salad, all ingredients were fresh and tasty. Well worth finding this little place and getting lunch here! Limited seating, but the beach isn't far!!! ⭐⭐🌊🌊

Absolutely love The Green Olive in Porthcawl. It’s a proper gem — family-run, super friendly, and the food is always spot on. You can tell they really care about what they do. Great coffee, great vibes, and a lovely place to relax. Can’t recommend it enough!

Thanks for the review! X
Excellent find at the far end of the main street. Excellent selection of salads, fillings, and choice of jackets, sandwiches, paninis. Very reasonably priced and huge servings, well worth a try!

We stopped off here as a half way point on our way to Tenby. The baguettes were absolutely lovely with a generous filling and excellent price. Everything looked fresh and tasty. We would definitely return if passing by again.

Thanks for taking the time to write your review Jan! So glad you enjoyed your lunch! X
The perfect lunch spot. We were recently on holiday in Porthcawl for a long weekend and had lunch at The Green Olive twice during our stay. They have so many options, lots of fresh produce and reasonable prices. They have seating or it’s a short walk to the beach and we took ours to eat on the beach. I wish we had The Green Olive back home!

Thanks Bob! We are so glad you enjoyed! X
A great place for beautiful salad bowls, panninis, and scrummy unbelievable cakes and pastries. Great tea and coffee too. Well worth the walk up the main street if you're down the sea end. Lovely friendly service. A few outside tables and bars inside of you want to watch the world go by while you recharge.

Had jacket potato and a pasta bowl. Both were delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely eat here again when I'm in the area.

This place is amazing! We ordered 2 salad boxes, one tuna and one turkey and were not disappointed. The food was so fresh and there was an wide variety of salad fillings in the box all of which were delicious (especially the potato salad). Well worth the money and we were stuffed after. Will definitely be coming back next time we come up to Porthcawl from London. Highly reccomend you try it!
Great food Great quality Great portions Absolute gem of a find!
