All around TOP NOTCH! Angelia, our server, handled our birthday party group of 11 with no problems; the tomato bisque is fabulous and so are the seafood crepes and the strawberry Mandarin salad. The cake was divine and topped the meal off perfectly! Definitely a new "go-to" Cafe for our group! More...

The tomato basil soup here is delicious! Wish I'd gotten a bowl instead of just a cup.

I am giving Olexa's five stars, only because I can't give them ten. Every cake we have ordered has been delicious and moist with generous amounts of frosting, and always beautiful. The main reason we started using Olexa's was because we were tired of getting dry cakes that tasted like a cake mix from other bakeries. Fortunately, we have never experienced that with Olexa's.

Food was delicious but service could have been better. Went without the customary water refills for a while. Had to request and still wait.

Bang for your buck: 10/10Quality: 10/10Service: 10/10Ambiance/Location: 10/10Overall: 10/10I am sad we didn't live closer to Olexa's when we got married because this is the most perfect wedding cake. I am obsessed with the concept of wedding cake by the slice. I've never known any other bakery where you can walk in and buy a slice of wedding cake out of a case. And after doing so at Olexa's, I desperately need other bakeries to take note!This cake was dense and moist. The icing to cake ratio was perfect in my opinion. Â A little icing heavy, but that's just how I like my cake! This cake is absolute heaven! Cannot wait to go back ! More...

I can’t wait to try everything on the menu! The food choices, ambiance, and great service makes it a joy to eat there. I’ve always gone when they open at 10 am because it’s so peaceful. And of course I can’t resist the vanilla cloud nine for dessert! More...

Olexas is my favorite place to eat lunch..Tyler is an amazing server hes tall and blonde and looks like a beautiful german naval officer and the rest of the staff is awesome. The hostesses are so helpful and polite, it seemed like everyone in the building was trying to help me and my 87 yr old mother in one way or another. If youre ever having a bad day just go to olexas ask for Tyler and order some cake. These people know what they're doing!!! The staff treated me like a king wish i could rate this place 10 stars..they deserve it!!! More...

I have always been a fan of Olexa's. They're super nice and very talented. My sister used them for my bridal shower and the cake was FANTASTIC! !It was decorated beautifully and was very moist. Their cakes can be pricey to some, but they are well worth the cost.I will use them again for future special occasions! More...

BEST CHICKEN SALADBEST CAKEI've tried a good bit of the menu, but I always come back to a few dishes:1) Â Savory smoked almond chicken salad: on croissant, salad, crackers, pretty much anything. I often get a tub of it to-go!2) Â Grilled cheese: great flavor that pairs well with the tomato soup3) Â White cake: This is hands-down the best cake in Birmingham. I order all of my (and everyone else's) birthdays cakes from here. I've tried their other cake flavors, and they're fine. But there is nothing like the vanilla cake, trust me. More...

I knew when I needed to order my 30th birthday cake where I needed to go. I couldn't resist not getting my sparkly cake again from Olexa's. I gave my description over the phone and I sent an inspiration picture through email. They were very helpful with putting my ideas on the cake. It turned out amazing and tasted wonderful. I highly recommend purchasing a cake from here for any occasion. More...

I won a gift card at a fund raiser to Olexa's Cafe. Â I ordered a pumpkin and apple pie for Thanksgiving and I took our visiting family for lunch. Â It was busy for lunch on a Monday. There were no tables for a larger group of 10. We had to wait awhile for another group to leave. Â Our server was excellent, the food was great. Â I couldn't help but notice that this was a woman's restaurant. The woman out numbered men by 20-1. Â Each of the pies were in a large box. They were nicely decorated. We tried them both at thanksgiving of course. The apple was great. Very rich. The pumpkin was nothing special. Â Just a regular pumpkin pie, Â but I guess there isn't much you can do to make a pumpkin pie outstanding. Â Would recommend both the bakery and cafe. Â Enjoy! More...

This place is a gem. Really adorable indoors and cozy atmosphere. I've ordered the French Dip Sandwich with potato chips. It's a bit rough on my palate (it scratches the roof of my mouth) but it was really good . I highly recommend trying their cake!!! Best cake ever, very rich and moist!!
