About The Olive Tree at Tates
The Olive Tree at Tates is a coffee shop on Studley Rd in Ripon, with a large dining hall where the seating is spread apart. Breakfast anchors the menu, led by the Plantsman's English breakfast with black pudding and poached eggs. All Day Breakfast and full English plates sit alongside it. Pancakes come two ways: American style with fruit compote and granola, or with bacon and maple syrup. Service is at the table, and the team pushes tables together for larger groups. Dogs are welcome.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the draw here, with the Plantsman's English breakfast, the all day breakfast and the full English singled out most, along with American pancakes with fruit compote and granola or with bacon and maple syrup. Reviewers describe the food as delicious and the portions as ample for the price. Service comes up almost as often, described as friendly, fast and attentive, and a large party notes that staff put tables together for them. Coffee is called nice, and the outdoor benches are liked when it is sunny. One baby change in the gents toilets earns praise from a parent. The complaints are smaller and specific. One reviewer finds the desserts look better than they taste, another says table service is not clearly signposted at the entrance, and one found it cold sitting near the doors with people coming and going. One reviewer objects to customers' dogs being held on laps or seats in a food environment, and another wondered why a job offer was posted on the toilet door.

“I just nipped in for the toilet. ...why was there a job offer on the toilet door? (Loo itself was fine.)”

“Good menu and good quality food. Only criticism is that, even though I understand the café is dog friendly, customers' dogs should remain on the floor. Anything else is a health hazard in a food environment.”

“Absolutely phenomenal hidden gem. Both the service and food were incredible. The team were so attentive, engaged, friendly and on the ball. The All Day Breakfast was an absolute 10/10, highly recommend. Nice outdoor area, lovely in the sun. Looking forward to coming back to try the lunch menu.”

“A group of 6 had breakfast here yesterday Tuesday 26th November & we were all extremely impressed with the excellent food (5 x full English & a sausage & egg sandwich) & the staff are friendly, polite & nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.”

“Stopped here for brunch on Sunday morning. Had the Plantman's English breakfast with black pudding and poached eggs which was delicious. My wife had the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup also delicious. We were a large party of about 8 and the staff very helpfully put the tables together”
