I ordered egg and cheese with roasted red peppers. The eggs were fluffy and delicious! The roasted peppers added a ton of flavor but layered so they didn't soak the freshly baked roll.

First time at Olive Oyl's and there's a lot going on here! Seems to be an exceptionally well run…read morebusiness. We all had egg sandwiches to go (two wraps and two traditional) and enjoyed them. Iced tea was good. Service was very good. The store has a lot of interesting items, especially if you like nostalgic candies. Decor was very charming. There's a deli case that might be great for lunch and I didn't read the menus on the walls. Sandwiches are made fresh and they appear to either have a bakery or a relationship with one as there were quite a few pastries that looked creative and fresh. It takes some time to make the food so my recommendation is to call them ahead of time so it is ready when you arrive. There are a few tables inside and a few more outside so there is seating. If you read my reviews you might know that the highest I give on a first visit is 4 stars. If I go back and the place is excellent again I raise it to 5. This is so that a place that is consistently the best of the best (vs a one time great experience) gets 5 stars over a place that just does it once. Olive Oyl's would definitely be eligible for a 5th star and I'm virtually certain to give it to them on the next visit. It was such a perfect combination of choices, quality, service and ambiance! We've been coming to Essex for so many years and always passed this place by for no reason in particular. Now I think we will visit every time we're in town!

So I was ABSOLUTELY THRILLED after my first visit! They offer a wonderful varied selection of prepared foods in their 8 LARGE REFRIGERATED COOLERS & 2 FREEZERS. EVERYTHING IS FRESHLY PREPARED!! They had salads, salad dressings, soups, side dishes, sauces, fresh full & half loafs of bread, assorted cookies, bars, pies, cakes, cobblers, and single/double and FAMILY MEALS. THIS PLACE IS A GOLD MINE! They have friendly, engaged, efficient staff. This place was doing an impressive brisk business which they were managing with ease. There were at least 12 other patrons actively shopping while I was there & the parking lot was busy! I purchased the Tuna Niçoise salad, Chicken Salad, Potato Salad, & Gazpacho. I ate 1/2 of the Gazpacho which was DIVINE: fresh veggies in a bright summery tomato base, with chives, onions, red, green, yellow bell peppers, garlic & spices. It was DELICIOUS. For dinner, I ate 1/3 of the Nicoise which was sliced cooked thin red potatoes topped with tuna, chopped tomatoes, 4 wedges of hard boiled egg, parboiled green beans & Greek seedless black olives & fresh herbs. FABULOUS! THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC! I don't think there's ANYTHING here that would disappoint! This will definitely be on my REGULAR ROTATION! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! ENJOY!
