Nice hole in the wall with a lakeside view, and easily accessible restrooms. I had the salted caramel latte with Oatmilk, and it was great. Even though I didn't grab a bite, it smelled amazing in there! The service was amazing!

Great food, drinks, and super friendly service. Greg remembers all of his customers and their orders as well! Very convenient if you work in the area and want something fresh. My favorite item is the iced mocha

Oley's Cafe- what a find! The beverage & food selections are great. The outdoor seating is amazing. The iced americano with their lavender simple syrup was delicious. If you're looking for something refreshing, stop in for Oley's Blueberry Lemonade. It's the BEST! Thank you, Grey! Looking forward to seeing you again.

My husband loves heading across the lake for lunch at Oley’s while at work and I was so delighted to try it for the first time with him today. Greg was so friendly and you can tell how much thought he puts into his food. He used quality spices and oils, making not only a great tasting but healthy meal. The lobby of the building is open to everyone and is great to sit on a rainy day but the patio with the view of the lake is the perfect compliment to a visit to Oley’s!

Definitely checkout this place for a quick breakfast or lunch! I went for lunch and had the barbecue sandwich with coleslaw on it. The barbecue was moist, well seasoned, & delicious, great portion also. The owner was personable and nice to chat with. Oley's Cafe is inside the office building at 4435 Waterfront Dr. in the lobby. Anyone can go in. You don't have to work in the building. There isn't seating inside but you can sit in the office building lobby or outside at the back facing the water of Innsbrook at the covered tables. I sat out there, which provided for a peaceful lunch.

Awesome location. Greg is making it look easy! Service was efficient and he’s a fantastic chef! Paninis were made fresh and tasted delicious. Our order was ready quickly and we grabbed a table outside overlooking the water. We enjoyed the BBQ Bacon Cheddar and Garden Turkey paninis. We will be back.

Been here twice now and highly recommend! Don’t let the building discourage you, the place is open for anyone to walk in and the owner Greg is extremely friendly and welcoming. Food was made fresh, promptly, and portions are fantastic. He said he makes all the syrups for his flavored drinks on site. He changes around the specials daily to keep his menu fresh. So far we’ve tried his Chicken Caesar wrap, Garden Turkey panini, and his Sausage breakfast burrito. His lavender lemonade was amazing as well. Overall, a great spot whether you work nearby, live around the corner, or are walking along the beautiful trail and want to stop for a nice lunch!
