Besides the wonderful ambiance of a high ceiling two-story spacious connected cascade design, with the bottom floor of cafe and restaurant seating, and the second floor with bar and relaxed couches (great coffee tables designs!), rotating art exhibition, and long wooden kitchen table with plugs, many of the menu items were simply gourmet, tasty (with a nice kick), and classy presentations. Last night at a birthday party celebration, Mike and Giselle were especially helpful, courteous, and accommodating though the party went beyond after the restaurant was closed. They were great taking care of all we need. I love going there for work otherwise. It is remote work friendly with electric outlets, wifi, and quiet especially during day time hours. Personally, I love their mocha and acai bowl for drinks and snacks, and their to-die-for lentil soup, shakshouka, Spaghetti Bolognese, spicy California bowl, pizzas, burgers, and many others. Their service has always been impressive, and the managers there seem attentive to the customers. Great customer service training. A star restaurant on my book. read more

Service here in Olia is really bad I dont recommend this place 2 guys on their phones wasting time and me waiting for my meal I was waiting like 30 minutes It wasn't busy at that time read more

Today was a questionable day @ the Cafe when I just wanted a type of iced coffee on my way to work . I mentioned the same drink I had the day prior was made so well so I was excited to get again yet the gentleman today was turning it into a major production with a coffee order . To the point I said never mind . He literally was okay with me leaving without purchasing. Him : yep ! Such bad service with him " again" . Such an unpleasant experience with him at the counter . Totally different experiences between yesterday Sunday & today Monday. Honestly a smile can make all difference or just not making a customer fill dismissed . I went across the street to my fav place Muffin Can Stop Us . Fabulous drink great vibes . 3 stars was being generous today but I do appreciate their food and overall ambiance as my neighbors. read more

Nice atmosphere, friendly service, food is decent. Could do much better with the salad presentation, but otherwise a pleasant experience.

I'm staying at the Glenmark and popped into Olia for a salad and drinks. The bartender Rita is uh-mazing. She made amazing drinks just how we liked them. The salad was doused in dressing and not so great, but the hospitality was phenomenal. The bar area is quaint and the eating area is pretty as well. This is a decent option if you're staying at the hotel. read more

Olia - Fattoush with Chicken - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glendale, California

We had heard great things about Olía and decided to try it for ourselves. Easy and plenty of street parking when we arrived at about 11 am and it's away from the chaos of downtown Glendale. We were greeted by a few friendly employees and handed menus. We ordered a cheese burger and breakfast wrap. Both were great and arrived to our table in about 15 minutes. The breakfast wrap comes with cheddar cheese and I replaced it with goat cheese, it was fantastic! There is a coffee bar with Starbucks coffee and plenty of other coffees available. Seating is available inside or outside and there are heaters on the patio but they weren't on, so we opted for inside. It was loud inside at all and we could hear each other with no problem. We highly recommend a stop here and we will definitely be back. Enjoy! read more

Very disappointing service. We said hello when we arrived and the waiter ignored us. We waited 10-15 minutes to order, and no one helped. When the waiter finally came, she told us to wait and then turned away to laugh and chat with another staff member. Poor management and poor service. I don't recommend this place if you value your time. read more

I'm surprised this place has such low ratings! It's one of my favorite local spots. Classy atmosphere, good food, great drinks. I always order the breakfast wrap and my boyfriend loves the spicy chicken wrap. We've tried half of their signature cocktails and were extremely impressed by most of them. Can't wait to go back and try more! One downside, it's a bit pricy read more

As the main restaurant of the Glenmark hotel, Olia features a mixture of California and Armenian dishes. It is a fusion restaurant that does a solid job jumping from a khachapuri to an avocado toast, a feat that few spots would dare to put on one menu. The interior is brightly lit, with large open windows, high ceilings and elegant contemporary bistro furniture. Ordering occurs at the counter and the staff are incredibly kind. There is a homey sense to Olia somehow and despite being located in a hotel, it felt that a lot of the diners are regulars as opposed to hotel guests. Armenians coming to sit down for hours, to enjoy each other's company. The California khachapuri may be the highlight of the menu, served with avocado. As a whole, an excellent spot. Fresh ingredients and an adventurous selection that is executed well. read more

The food here is not good. The Ajarski boat was a joke. Instead of cracking eggs in the boat they made a separate cooked eggs and put it in the boat. read more

I was traveling alone and loved that I could order this high quality meal without having to visit the roof top restaurant. I was in the hotel common area. The atmosphere was cozy and even a little lively. I ordered the lamb and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Beautifully plated too. Service was impeccable. I'll for sure done here again next time I'm in town. read more

Olia - Lamb Chops and Caymus Pinot Noir - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Glendale, California

Staff is patient as well and the aura of the place is so relaxing, however I do feel like there's quite a few things missing. Let's talk about food! The food is definitely fresh and you can tell! I ordered the waffle which was good. The shakshuka was okay nothing revolutionary. I did let them know I can't have spice at all but the shakshuka does have spice in it and was brought out. Thankfully they were willing to fix it! Water you do have to go get yourself. This wouldn't be my go-to however overall wouldn't mind going back again. read more

The food was exceptional, the view and atmosphere were absolutely stunning, although the prices were a tad high.

Friendly and Great staff I enjoy coming here almost everyday for my macchiato. And sometimes I bring my family and friends over too. It's a great place to have a nice breakfast or lunch too their menu is just perfect. My all time favorite breakfast is the Zaatar and cheese khachapouri and the soujoukh omelette, yum! read more

Waited 35 minutes only for the waiter to come up to my table and tell us our food went to the wrong table and it would be another 10 mins. we ordered a burger and an italian salad. very careless . all the workers look like they have their heads very far in their butts. read more

We love coming here almost daily for lunch as our office is close by. The food options are great and prices are not bad. Portions are very generous and quality is solid. I especially love the California bowl and Spicy chicken bowl. Service is also outstanding by manager Tania and her team, including Jenny and others. These people care about servicing you. read more

Food is whatever! It's a good meet up place if I'm meeting someone in the middle of my city and theirs. But there's soo many other places in Glendale! I always give a 1 star if a place is charging fees for staff or what not. Don't charge a 3% fee, that is the dumbest thing for any business to do. Just raise your prices and we don't care. I hate when these stupid fees are slapped. If I charged my clientele those fees I could make another mortgage payment. Imagine how much extra money a business is making by the 3%. Over rated place. read more

Food is really well made and the service staff is excellent. Although I find the pricing a bit too high, I come for breakfast a couple Sundays each month. The ambiance is something I have a love/hate relationship with. While it's space is perfect in my opinion, their choice of music (and its volume) is enough to make me regret visiting at least twice per trip. There is just nothing "Sunday morning" about the soundtrack going on! Finally, the staff are the nicest most pleasant crew around. Not only to me, but I have observed them many many times taking excellent care of customers old and young. read more

Olia Restaurant offers an exceptional dining setting...it's clean, upscale, and the attention to detail in the restaurant is truly excellent. The food is also spot on. I highly recommend the Shakshouka and Matcha Pancakes, which were both awesome and really tasty. It's a nice touch that they also serve Starbucks coffee. The only drawback is the service, which was occasionally questionable; staff were blunt, often responding with a simple "no" instead of offering helpful alternatives for requests. It doesn't take much to please a customer; all you gotta do is try. If they improve this approach to customer service, Olia is an easy 5-star restaurant. read more

This is a beautiful restaurant but everything else was mediocre, at best. Service was kind but was lacking in all aspects of hospitality. Our waiter seemed more confused about the menu items than we were. They noted having half and full sizes of the khatchapori, however, the waiter said that they only come in a "medium" size. She was not able to tell us how much it cost until we saw it later on our bill, which was identical to the full size. We had no utensils and water until after we received our meals. We also didn't get one of our side dishes until after we paid for the check, which we obviously took to go. The price of the meal was not consistent with the quality and value of service as well as the food. Although the food items tasted fresh and came out warm, they were rather lackluster. There wasn't even any salt, pepper, or hot sauce available to us. The one really good thing they have going. Here is their coffee. They serve intelligentsia, which in my opinion is one of the best in the market! Parking is also rather expensive for visitors. To park in their lot, it costs $15. I would opt for street parking if I were you as it is relatively free on most spaces on Brand Blvd. read more

Stopped by to see if they have coffee to go while I as in the area. For some reason I thought it's a sit down restaurant only but turns out there is a coffee bar that sells variety of baked goods and coffee. So I got their cold brew which was ok. I would like to come back and dine in and try the food here. The pictures look good on Yelp so I gotta find out myself. The ambiance is great, beautiful aesthetics. They also have outdoor seating. Location is great on one of my favorite parts of Glendale. Customer service was ok, I just purchased one coffee to go. Will be back soon to have lunch here. read more

The calm atmosphere with sophisticated styling just make this place a gem, probably the most underrated cafe in north Glendale, service is amazing always , if you want Hotel style service for breakfast lunch or dinner this is the spot. Indoor and outdoor seating options are a bonus. the menu literally has everything from vegetarian to meat lover options to Mediterranean options. The pricing is moderate, they have a bar on the opposite side of the restaurant for those who are having drinks, and a Starbucks cafe if your just having coffee and hanging out to get work done. read more

New favorite spot in Glendale! Everything we tried was so good - the Khachapoori was perfection, the Shakshouka was super flavorful, and the mortadella cheese pizza totally hit the spot. The za'atar and cheese bread? Addictive. Cozy vibes, great service and seriously delicious food. Definitely coming back! read more

Sadly, I can't give 5 stars because despite the great food, they refuse to answer their phone, you can't order online because their form doesn't allow you to make selections, and when you call the hotel they refuse to help and disconnect you from the survey they asked if you'd be willing to complete because they clearly know it's not going to be positive feedback. We went to Base Camp instead - much better service and online ordering options and they answer their phone even though they are SO much busier and Olia is always empty, yet still can't/won't answer their phones! Giving one star in hopes it inspires them to fix the service gap. Otherwise, Basecamp it is! read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED! Please address this with your chef who made me and the courier wait, only to then refuse to make the pancakes. If it's past the hour, don't promote it on Uber and make people think it's available. You were one of my favorite neighborhood cafes - NOT ANYMORE read more

We came for brunch and the food was Amazing we had Beet Salad, Chicken wraps and truffle fries amongst other things. The ambience was beautiful and clean and very upscale and relaxing.

This is a very pretty place for brunch. It gave me a high-end feelings. However, service was very slow. I was here for a business meeting and my guest got a bottle of sparkling water. There was no server providing her with a glass or helping her to remove the crown. I bugged the server twice to provide her with a glass as well as removing the crown before she was able to drink her water. I ordered a latte and an Italian salad. Both items were not impressive. The latte has lack of coffee flavor, and the salad was dry with minimum amount of salad dressing. Again, I waited for a long time until I can get extra salad dressing. Will not return unless my business meeting has to happen here. Street parking is available. read more

Lara waited on us and she was very friendly and welcoming. We will be back for sure ! read more
