Our story

Nestled by the sea at the foot of the Mourne Mountains in the heart of Newcastle, County Down, Olive Bizarre is an independently run café where great coffee, homemade food and warm hospitality come together. For over 20 years, we've been serving our local community and welcoming visitors from near and far with a passion for delicious food and friendly service.

We proudly serve locally roasted Ristretto coffee alongside a tasty all-day brunch menu, freshly prepared using quality ingredients. Our kitchen is also home to a tempting selection of homemade traybakes, cakes and sweet treats, baked fresh every morning to be enjoyed with your favourite coffee.

Whether you're stopping by after a walk in the Mournes, exploring the coastline, having a dip in the sea or catching up with friends, you'll find a relaxed, welcoming space where everyone feels at home. We also offer a range of gluten-free and vegan options, so there's something for everyone to enjoy.

To our loyal regulars, thank you for being part of our story over the last two decades. And if you're visiting for the first time, we can't wait to welcome you to Olive Bizarre.
