    Chicken and cheese panini. I substitute the ciabatta for whole wheat bread.
    Maria K.

    Olive Express is my go to favorite lunch spot since I work in Reston. My usual is the chicken and cheese panini and I can tell you it is the most delicious panini I have ever tasted! I use Uber Eats to order my lunch and the service is always prompt and the panini arrives hot. I highly recommend this as a great and healthy lunch spot in the Reston area.

    Falafel plate
    Sneha P.

    I've been here three times in the last two weeks because it's close to work and their food and prices are super reasonable! Their falafel platter and sandwich is fantastic! I can't get over the falafels tho because it perfection. You'll just have to try it for yourself. The chicken shawarma is decent and they have a wide variety of salads and sandwiches. The workers are friendly and the service is good but not as fast as I'd like for lunch. Can't blame them tho because they're packed during lunch hour but all their food is ready to go so you can take it back to your desk or eat in the restaurant that has a few tables and couches. This is a great restaurant for lunch especially if you're in the area!

    See those 2 tiny slivers of avocado? That's $0.75 extra.

    I usually like their sandwiches but this just makes me mad. I got the turkey and cheese panini with added avocado. This whole sandwich cost $7.16, tax included. This cost way too much!!

    Chicken Shawarma Pita

    Everything below still applies but I feel so reliant on Olive Express now and I love the service here especially!! Such a comfortable and cozy place.

    Chicken gyro plate!
    Nit B.

    I really enjoy this place. I order from here once a week for lunch, and I am always impressed with the consistency. The hummus is actually very tasty, and the Gyro is decent. I am a fan of the Gyro plate instead. I get the falafel appetizer every time, and really this could be a meal by itself since it comes with pita. The meat in the dish is always very tender. I have tried the Chicken Currry Kabob which is very tasty. I prefer the Mixed Grill Kabob because it comes with all three meats (chicken, steak, and ground beef). That is my go to dish actually. That is served with seasoned rice. I have not tried the pita's but my co-worker seems to like them. I am not a fan of the regular Gyro or the Turkey club sandwhich. Overall, this is a really good go to place for lunch. Quality food, with great prices. I will be back.

    Falafel Platter
    Rikin S.

    If you're into Mediterranean food you have to try Olive Express. The food is authentic, fresh, and best of all tasty. I definitely recommend getting one of the platters; comes w/ the right amount of portions to keep you full without weighing you down. This isn't the type of place that you would go to have a fancy meal, it's more like a Mediterranean deli and you can order pickup/delivery. This is my new go to when grabbing lunch during the work week! The location is tough tough to find, see my picture for the description.

    I've ordered from Olive Express about 4 times and have considered their food "ok". This is an option for Friday lunch at my school and it's always a treat to have something different to end the week. Today I ordered the buffalo chicken salad with blue cheese for $10. When I received my lunch I was shocked at the size. For $10 I expected more salad and for the lettuce to be edible. Unfortunately, much of the lettuce had to be thrown out and the ranch (that I didn't order) it was sour tasting. I won't be ordering from here again.

You have to go up the stairs to reach the entrance, because it is located on the second floor. The atmosphere inside is bright and welcoming, with plenty of seating whether you want to hang out with friends, read a book, or get some work done. The coffee and pastries were also excellent. I ordered an oat milk latte, and I loved that you can still taste the natural bitterness of the coffee instead of it being completely masked by the oat milk. Perfect companion for the butter croissant I ordered. It also came with a delicious waffle cookie on the side, which was a nice little treat with the coffee. The only thing I wish is that the coffee were served in a mug when dining in, but they mentioned that they plan to offer that eventually. Other than that the service is great! I didn't have to wait for a long time. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can come back and sit outside on their patio while sipping my coffee. Looking forward to making this a regular stop!

The bakery items we sampled were excellent, and we recommend: - Their new strawberry pastry was outstanding--rich and buttery, filled with vanilla cream, topped with fresh strawberries, offering a mildly sweet flavor. - Melon bread was also delightful--soft, airy, lightly sweet, with honeydew-flavored cream inside. - The tiramisu latte is rich and smooth, offering a decadent coffee experience with a balanced blend of espresso and sweet, dessert-like flavors, topped with cocoa powder.

I came here to eat something but only had their Cloud Bagel to choose from. I went for that as it was my only choice but wasn't a fan. Granted it's called "cloud" bagel, I expected it to be soft, but even when they toasted it wasn't appetizing - more like seasoned Wonder bread. The service was fine, but I do wish they had really toasted the "bagel"; it ended up being lukewarm/cold after a few minutes and still soft. I understand this is more of a cafe, geared towards coffee and pastry lovers - and maybe for that - it's good, but for those seeking a sandwich/meal/something more substantive (especially for vegetarians), this is not the place. I came here hungry and left hungry. Don't come here if you want food-food. Suggestion: add some egg/cheese sandwiches or an egg-salad sandwich like Paris Baguette. Just one or two options would suffice.
