M. L.

Very friendly quick service thank you. Food is exquisite! Check out the pic attached. Great fresh produce. Awesome coffee, hot chocolate and smoothies.

C. S.

Amazing cafe. Great coffee and friendly service, but most importantly, banging food. The mushrooms were hands down the best I've had! And the french toast was top notch too. Honestly really refined cuisine at a decent price, would highly recommend and will be returning myself next time I'm in Blenheim. 10/5!!!

m. m.

Excellent eggs benedict. Best I've had in a long time. Lovely hollandaise unlike the insipid pale yellow stuff most cafes use. Highly recommended.

K. L.

Lovely spot for breakfast, our group had the french toast, mushrooms and smashed avo which were all delicious. Coffee was top notch and the staff were lovely and friendly. Overall a warm and welcoming spot, perfect for warming up on a cold winter morning. We look forward to returning next time we're in Blenheim!

S. W.

I had the mushrooms for breakfast and they were delicious, considering I don't really like mushrooms. Will detfinately recommend

G. R.

They do the relaxed atmosphere while providing a clean, professional cafe with delicious food. Highly recommend

C. D.

Great café, delicious food and excellent coffee and service! What else do you need? Had the Buddha bowl and the garden pesto. Honestly it was hard to choose what to have there were so many great choices. Only thing to note for those with little ones is there doesn't seem to be a change table but the bathroom is nice and big.

M. B.

I visited this Café twice over the last weekend while visiting friends. On both occasions the food was delicious - I tried the eggs benedict and the French toast. The staff were also very friendly and the coffee was great so I would definitely recommend a visit if you are in Blenheim.

D. R.

Fantastic, surely one of the best coffees in town. Great wholesome food made with a lot of love and attention, with the finest, freshest ingredients. Loved the local Marlborough grown pine nuts, their house cured local salmon, and the goats halloumi. The house made hollandaise with tumeric was fantastic also as was the home made sauerkraut. These guys are really passionate about their craft and it shows.

This was one of the best cafes we’ve been to in a long time! The flat white was spot on and the food was excellent - my wife had the mushrooms and I had the seafood chowder. The staff were very friendly and interacted with our kids which was nice to see. We will definitely be be back next time we’re in Blenheim.

J. P.

Super cute little spot with great modern hipster vibe, lovely food and very accomodating owners. Came here to stock up on food and coffee for a big hike, would definitely recommend!

A. E.

Wonderful service and absolutely delicious food. It came out right away and was served with a smile. Highly recommend this lil cafe :)

G. L.

Really nice little place, good coffee! I had the Acai bowl and there wasn’t much granola, it was only really sprinkled on the side and the rest was a lot of frozen berry purée. Still yummy but not quite what I was expecting

B. B.

Scrumptious fresh ingredients used. Beautifully presented. Love that they support and use local produce such as cranky goat and garlic noir and more.

S. v. D.

Amazing coffee and great food. Thanks so much, can't wait to come back here!

M. O.

Best coffee on your roadtrip so far! Brunch was beautiful - probably the best mushrooms ever! X

T. F.

Great brunch on a Saturday, I had the Balsamic cream mushrooms with extra salmon. Fabulous tastes! Partner had Super French Toast also great.

O. J.

Delicious food! Best I’ve had in New Zealand😋 Nice service and vibe! Definitely will go back to Blenheim just for Herb&Olive.👍👍

J.

Awesome staff and the best scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Or a great coffee stop anytime of the day to catch up with friends.

S.

Fresh ingredients for Buddha bowl and taste nice, wish the portion could be bigger given that price range. Would only be back after some time due to the price

G. F.

Great cafe. Good food and ambience. Must try place. The breakfast selection is quite good.

T. G.

I came here for breakfast, and it was delicious. The wait was quite long but they handled it fine, and asked my family if we wanted something sweet to take with us on the way as an apology for the wait, which was very nice. The breakfast I had was the Eggs Benedict, and it was very good. One thing I would like to mention is the hollandaise because its freshly made, and the eggs are nicely done. The $19 price is completely reasonable, considering the amount of bacon. The reason why I'm not rating it 5 stars is simply because of the time, even though it had an apology. My Berry Buster smoothie was pretty good, but to be honest it could've had better presentation, and probably could've been nicer. However I would still reccomend this nice cafe. 👍

J. T.

Popular cafe with interesting selection of food. Place for wee people and great coffee.

P. S.

Great little cafe. The coffee is really good, and probably the best cheese scones in Blenheim

A. M.

In context of the surrounding town, this is a really unique place with cozy atmosphere, awesome coffee and excellent customer service. Looking for not so busy specialty coffee in Blenheim? Go for Herb + Olive.

e. A.

Amazing staff that really show passion for their menu and great knowledge, will definitely be back

S. C.

Great service, tasty food, awesome coffee and good wifi.

B. M.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Such an awesome cafe! The kids area is awesome for little ones. Food was delicious and well priced, coffee was really good to! Got a second one. It was very busy when we went in but the staff were very friendly and accommodating! Despite how busy it was our food came out in good time and we didn’t have a long wait :)

J. T.

Beautiful cafe with amazing food and coffee. We had the pesto pasta and the creamy balsamic mushrooms with goat halloumi and they were just divine! Highly recommended!

D. S.

They serve health food baked on herb and olive. Very unique indeed.

P. G.

Nice friendly staff, great coffee and food. Beats most in central Blenheim city. I’m a regular. Try the scones - fantastic, worth sitting down for. Often busy and noisey, cold in there today too.

M. K.

Fresh ingredients, cosy location in the heart of Blenheim. We really enjoyed our breakfast

N. H.

Fabulous little cafe in a beautifully styled historic Blenheim building. Friendly staff (despite the mad rush), great coffee and delicious, fresh, healthy food. So good we came back for breakfast the next day too. We particularly loved the Açai bowls.

K. T.

This has become a go to place on visits to Blenheim. Interesting and varied menu in a pleasant surrounding.

C. 2.

Nice wee cafe in the centre of Blenheim. Friendly service, only neg was music in cafe was good, but then the music coming from back kitchen ruined the atmosphere.

S. J.

Loved our breakfast so much on the first day, we came back every morning we were in Blenheim! The food was fresh, delicious and healthy. Coffee was great, and the service welcoming. Highly recommend Herb & Olive Cafe.

C. P.

Amazing!!! The food is delicious, the service excellent and the atmosphere of the place is so nice!

J. B.

Oct2021: Cute cafe. clean, bright, with a nice variety of eats and choices of good coffee.

Buddha bowl was s#*^t hot, that and a really friendly barista and chef. What’s not to love!

T. C.

Fantastic venue for our business lunch today! Group of 7 of us - fabulous menu, great options for all, friendly and professional service - thank you to the team at Herb & Olive u guys really have it going on😁

L. K.

Best damn Buddha bowl I’ve had in a very long time. So many fabulous flavours, colours and textures. Wonderful service and superb food.

C. M.

Great coffee and divine cheese scones! 😋

D. B.

Best spot in town for breakfast, brunch and lunch. Not only is the food perfect to my taste, but the whole operation is done with taste. The staff, the building, the design... all very cool. Some places in Blenheim can be modelled on franchises that have worked elsewhere, sometimes tacky. Not this place, all class.

S. Q.

Lovely friendly service, both the waitress and chef were friendly. Dog friendly outside and they even brought out some water for him. Delicious food, beautifully plated. Berry smoothie was great. Definitely recommend.

W.

Very tasty food, very friendly and helpful staff

R. W.

This is a beautiful little cafe in central Blenheim. It has a healthy twist of some foods and is a friendly space. Great vegetarian options. Breakfast until 11.30 which is always helpful. Coffee is nice and hot.

V. S.

A good coffee that is smooth and drinkable is a rare thing but these guys nailed it! Nice smoothie too. They were busy but staff were friendly and service was fantastic.

S. M.

My partner and I are from Christchurch. We visited this place and were blown away by the local produce used to made spectacular meals. The service we received from the professional staff was top notch. We went back twice for meals it was that great👍

G. S.

Best coffee! Awesome menu.

a. r.

Omg had the balsamic creamy mushrooms, stunning!! Amazing coffee too!! Thank you for making it so easy to support local 😊

L. M.

Delicious smashed avocado and raw dessert my first visit, but I returned a few days ago and did not enjoy my breakfast at all. The "sourdough" did not taste or look like sourdough and unfortunately I did not like it. Combined with limp bacon, one of the worst breakfasts I have had in a while.(hence I lowered my rating from 5 to 3 stars).

G. C.

Fantastic food great service we will be back

S.

Relaxing spot with nice relaxing music. Great coffee and breakie.

A. D.

Awesome cafe delivering the best coffee in town and amazing wholesome seasonal food, most of which is grown locally. I had a coconut latte and Gf Df Turmeric slice every day we were in town, totally delicious! Sweet play area for children, where our son slept as our daughter played. Go there!

B. K.

We loved popping in for a simple yet wonderful breakfast n absolutely superb coffee. The interior is lovely: fresh n at the same time cosy. Balsamic mushroom brekkie was full of flavor n filling. Stuff super friendly n helpful. Loved our find....we'll be back!!!

T. N.

Super-gorgeous little café, with some lovely touches and great coffee. Didn't eat, but the food looked smashing too! Edit: have now enjoyed a healthy breakfast bowl here also 🙂

A. K.

Probably the best cheese scone I've ever had!

T. D.

I ordered the creamy balsamic mushrooms and it was delicious. Everyone on the table was raving about their food. The best breakfast I have had in a long time. Service great and really friendly. You must try this place!

D. H.

Herb + Olive is one of those cafes that just got it right, in all ways. When I came in, I was warmly greeted by the staff, it looks incresibly clean and tidy, it has just the right music at the right volume to sit down and read a book over a coffee, or chat to some of the others. I noticed everyone already had food or coffee; a good sign that service is efficient. Everyone looked happy, so it must taste good too. Putting that to the test, the coffee is amazing, while I thought as a Wellingtonian that only the capital has premium coffees: nice surprise. The food, with ingredients all organically and/or locally sourced, was absolutely fantastic. Herb + Olive combine big town flavours and service standards with a small town hospitable and friendly approach. Summing it up, it's the best place in the northern South Island to go for food, coffee in a great atmosphere!

J. K.

On a really busy day this place was amazing. Helpful service. Food fresh and yummy (technical term). Beer, wine and coffee...all great. Go there 👍

L. B.

Great cafe. The staff and chef are super friendly and really accommodating for us and our kids.

T. H. (.

As out of towners, H+O appeared online as the only cafe that seemed to care about their space. Upon entering, you are shown immediate attention from staff, which is great, I hate feeling unwanted. The Kokako coffee is prepared by an excellent barista, made so irresistible, I required an immediate second. The food is well considered, proportional with well appointed pricing. Overall, the best you’ll likely find in the Heim.

R. O.

Healthy and delicious meal!

T. H.

We enjoyed an amazing meal last night, deliciously flavoursome and nutritious, perfect for a Friday evening, the wine was perfect and service excellent. I hope the evening dining continue. Thanks Richard and Damion💜

L. V.

(Translated) I traveled to the South Island in early February. When I went to Kaikoura, I passed Blenheim and found this coffee shop through Google reviews. I ordered a vegetable soup, and my husband ordered a seafood Qiao Da soup. It was very fresh and delicious. It was an unforgettable meal. Must be highly recommended!👍👍👍 (Original) 2月初到南岛旅行，去Kaikoura时途径Blenheim，透过Google评价找到这间咖啡店。 我点了一份蔬菜汤，我先生点了一份海鲜巧达汤，都非常新鲜又好喝，实在是令人难忘的一餐。必须高分推荐!👍👍👍
