Olive's Country Store and Cafe

Awesome store in this town!!!!! Here for a few days away from NYC. Very friendly and helpful staff, family owned and you feel that family tlc as soon as you walk in. Definitely extremely convenient - we were able to get everything we needed that we couldn't get from Dollar General. And as you can see from the pics, alot of random, cool and unique items that makes the place a great visit.

We’ll be back!! The owners went above and beyond for us! We came in late one night and they opened the kitchen up to make us the best deli sandwiches! The salads were amazing and the store has something for everyone! The people, atmosphere, and food is top notch! You’ll be glad you stopped!

I hesitated to leave this review because I want this place to stay a local secret. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the quality of their food. Courteous and fast service.

Absolute BEST place to go in Shokan. Food is incredible and Fresh! The place has come a long way from when the P/O had it. The new owners are all about bringing new life to Olive's. From bringing back the Cafe', where you can sit with friends/family and have a meal again, to cleaning up the front of the store and removing MASS amounts of clutter that made you feel clostrophobic. Owners are the nicest people I have met. They come to know you by name, making it feel like a real hometown store again! Just what Shokan needed!
Stop by and enjoy!!

This is always my first choice for lunch when I am at the reservoir. The sandwiches are great. The help is always pleasant, and I look forward to seeing them. Top notch deli and country store. A must stop after a walk on the rail trail. A Catskill Moyntain treasure. Enjoy.

I've lived in the area for almost 30 years and I've seen this same store go through multiple iterations. This is the first one that I thought should stick. The food is great and atmosphere is wonderful. The staff is always friendly the owners are two genuinely wonderful people. HIGHLY suggest if you get the chance

Has a variety of bbq'ing utensils and essential camping items available. This place also has many other items to choose from, such as handmade crafts and souvenirs besides convenient foods. I like this place.

Super cute place to stop ! Yummy treats for a road trip

You gotta stop here, this place has everything, and the service is fantastic. Coffee is delicious.

Excellent service The staff are always nice and friendly and super helpful and their sandwiches are the best I ever had!

I travel Route 28 in NY 1-2 times a month. This is THE BEST place to stop to get food, Gas up and use the bathroom. There IS a good cell phone signal as well. Anything I have ordered there has been delicious. Nice, Neat and Friendly place and people. I'll be there again in two weeks!

Stopped by this place Thanksgiving morning for breakfast before a taking a hike in the Catskills. Excellent selection for breakfast and plenty to eat. The store had quite a selection of various items as well. Staff was friendly and I enjoyed my experience there.

Our favorite place to stop on our way to camp in the Catskills. There's a great little store, they always have what you need. The deli has good food, and the kids always find some little knick knacks to commemorate this year's trip.

Great location. First decent place for a traveler heading west out of Kingston to fuel body, soul and vehicle . This a genuine country store .
Dollar General, U.S. Post Office, Asian restaurant, and gas station all in same mini-plaza.
Also Ashokan Turf & Timber and Carma Auto Repair on same side of highway within several hundred feet.
About only thing not on premises is a motel, and that's about 3/8 mile farther west on same side of aforementioned highway.
This store is at the gateway to the Catskill mountains and the Ashokan Reservoir area.
If you are here to hunt, fish or hike, you must stop here. You will not be disappointed.
Tell them Pete sent you.

the five stars is for the professionalism of the staff. The cashier knows just about everything in the area. I've gone to other stores and they have no clue about the area. Sandwiches are good too.

Olive's has everything! Such a convenient stop on the way to hiking or skiing, with friendly employees and pretty much anything you can think of available. Tons of parking, too.

I have been coming here since I was a kid to me everything is the best I always have memories of getting a breakfast sandwich and hot chocolate on my birthday, I highly recommend it here :)

Great place for food and bait. Also friendly staff.

Everyone is super friendly here! I tried a sandwich today.. the grilled chicken was hot, fresh, and juicy! I look forward to my visits here when I pass through town!

Food is cooked with love.. Humble staff.. and a cozy atmosphere
