The Olive Branch Cafe

the olive branch cafe takes its coffee seriously, and in ashby-de-la-zouch, that counts for a lot. this is a small market town on school lane, not a city centre with a specialty shop on every corner, so when locals keep coming back the way they do here, it means something. you're not walking into a place that's trying to hedge its bets across a dozen different things. the focus is tight, the following is loyal, and that combination doesn't happen by accident in a town this size. if you're passing through the national forest corridor or stopping off the a511, make school lane your reason to slow down. start with the flat white.
