Olexa's Catering, Cafe and Cakes

Had the Lorraine quiche with salad and tortilla soup. Excellent food! A slice of vanilla cake with buttercreamicing wS excellent. Very rich and sweet.

Yesterday was my first time at Olexa’s and the experience was great. Our waitress was very helpful with her recommendations for a first-timer. She recommended the Smoked Turkey Sandwich with a side salad. It was delicious and came out quickly given there was a full house at lunchtime. We also had a slice of the quiche of the day which was also delicious. By the end of my meal, I was very full but of course, there’s always room for dessert. She raved about the cake and it did not disappoint. I had a slice of the warm buttercream cake. It was so good!! I’ve been raving about Olexa’s since yesterday and will return with family and friends.

The birthday cake we got from Olexa’s was DELICIOUS! I waited to order till the last minute but they were still able to accommodate me! Can’t wait for next year’s cake 😍

Absolutely THE place to go for cakes! Also, they have an awesome selection of soups, salads, and sandwiches. Lots of options for pre-made ready to-go items as well. 10/10 every time!

Diane Olexa & her team were so wonderful for our wedding cake! They arrived to the venue earlier than expected and decorated our already beautiful cake with (real) flowers that matched our greenery/white theme! We are so thankful to them for being a part of making our big day so great! There was an accidental mix up with a part of the cake but Diane more than made up for it after the fact and the cake was still just as delicious the way it was made! Thank you so much!

I recently stopped in for lunch on a Friday. I'd never been but both the posted and word of mouth reviews were so good I had to try it for myself. I was not disappointed. They were crowded with several parties celebrating events but I was seated quickly.
The Shrimp and Lobstertini appetizer was fresh and light and just the perfect portion. The grilled cheese and tomato bisque was top notch. And then I finished with a slice of French Vanilla cake. The bakery was busy with customers picking up cakes, cupcakes, etc. And I can see why. And as busy as they were the service never suffered. I'll definitely be back. And I'll bring friends. Just so good.

Love this little gem of a place! The food is always fresh. I can count on good service being provided. Most importantly, the dessert is AMAZING. I haven't had a single bad experience here. If you are unsure about trying things restaurant, go! You will not be disappointed!

If your interested in going to France (in Mountain Brook, AL) this is the place to go. The ambience and setting are stellar and the wait staff and cooks treat you like family. The food choices are plentiful and the taste of everything I ordered (White chicken chili; chicken salad - salad, and carrot cake) was other worldly good! I mean really good. The carrot cake was the best I've had in terms of taste. moisture, and frosting. I will be ordering at least one cake per month the rest of my life! Yes - it was that good. If you are anywhere near Birmingham - you have to try this chic and amazing cafe!

Great for a casual lunch with friends or an event! Food is delicious and desert is the best in town!

I’ve ordered several cakes over the years for birthdays and celebrations and I’ve never been disappointed. Their cakes are delicious, moist, and my friends/family always rave about how beautiful and yummy they are. Highly recommend!!!

Probably one of the best little cafe's I've been to in a long time. I had a wonderful turkey and artichoke panini with a salad and some delicious tomato basil soup. It was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

I’ve ordered a couple of cakes here lately, and they have been so delicious and fresh. I’ve also had such a good experience talking to the bakery staff on the phone. Whoever I’ve spoken to has been so so kind, knowledgeable, given helpful info or suggestions on decorations and whatnot. It’s just such a pleasure to buy and enjoy a cake from here.

By far the most beautiful and best tasting birthday cake ever!

The food and atmosphere here is amazing. It is themed like a little french courtyard, and it does it well. It is a little crowded, but that can be a sign of just how great of a place this is. The food was excellent, and full of flavor, the only downside about my sandwich was that the bread was too crispy, but that wasn't much of a problem honestly, as the rest of the meal more than made up for that. The staff was friendly and more than helpful when it came to answering questions about their various items. They also have a small bakery in there that makes some delicious baked goods.

Their cakes are wonderful. So special and we always love having lunch there

One of my all time favorite restaurants, worth the 45 minutes drive from where I live. The atmosphere is great and the food is delicious. Usually a baby shower or birthday party when I've been. I came for the chicken crepes the first time and always order that; the strawberry Mandarin side salad that come with it is tasty too. My family has tried other options that they enjoyed including quiche and paninis; the seafood crepes aren't quite as good as the chicken. Last time we got the bruschetta which I would get again. Have had several soups and they have all been good. But, my favorite part is the warm Chocolate Fudge Buttercream Cake; I'm glad I don't live close as I'd be getting a slice way too often! My only negative is they aren't open for dinner so I can only go on the weekends, but being a lunch place I understand.

Very gracious staff and great food. I went for the trio. I have never had a white chicken chili so creamy and tender. Very good! Don't miss the slice of warm vanilla buttercream cake. It is a must.
The atmosphere is interesting, and the French music was nice.

Fantastic! My wife had the chicken salad, salad, and I had the roast beef panini. Both were really, really good. Then we tried some cake. It was awesome! The staff was very friendly and the service was as good as can be. I'll definitely be coming back!

Best meal we had in Birmingham!
Chicken crepes were most delicious. And of course, the cake is magnificent!

Incredibly creative and uniquely delicious cakes. The only place to get a birthday cake anniversary cake or any Salvatore cake in my opinion!
