What TIM C likes about Oli and Levi:
Went here a few times as was staying at a hotel very close by. Sampled breakfast, coffee, egg tarts and sandwich at different times. All were good egg tart was a surprise.....was tempted in by the vegemite version, and it was good......but hadn't realised it has a whole boiled egg in the middle.......not a quiche as I had anticipated. Only downside is the wait, particularly for coffee. At times it was a good 7 or 8 m... View all feedback. What Juliane Leal doesn't like about Oli and Levi:
I came here with some friends a while ago to catch up with them for lunch and I have to admit that this isn't a bad place for some lunch. The prices aren't bad and the service is pretty good. While it mightn't be flashy, it's pretty practicable. There isn't a huge selection on their menu, but what they do have does the job. I ended up grabbing an Italian Baugette, which wasn't bad at all. Also, since it isn't in the... View all feedback.

At Oli Levi, tucked away in a hidden lane off Little Collins Street, visitors are treated to a delightful experience. The menu may have a limited selection, but everything on offer is thoughtfully made and delicious. From Italian Baguettes to mini egg pies, the food is flavorful and made for the purpose rather than being bulk produced. The coffee is excellent, with the Chai prana receiving top marks. Guests can enjoy a warm and welcoming atmosphere, whether they choose to sit outside under heaters or inside at the communal table. The friendly staff goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable dining experience. Specialties like the kimchi Reuben and gluten-free options add to the uniqueness of this cafe. Despite being hidden away, Oli Levi is a popular spot, serving around 400 coffees a day. Overall, this cafe is a hidden gem in Melbourne, perfect for locals and out-of-towners alike.
