It were the coffee wot dunnit. And the delish’ and decadent fare wot won it. Kenneth McClarty wanted a flat white. But there was not a cappuccino to be found for love or money anywhere on the South Peninsula. And, as much as all good things in life were celebrated at a certain French restaurant up the line, he had his own style of simple, spontaneous, passionately-prepared fare that he relished cooking up himself for family and friends. So, over some very good Chardonnays, he and some of those foodie friends plotted and planned their own place. What did it matter that funds were few when there was so much love and talent to go round? In November 1997, a greasy old fish-and-bait shop named Olympia Café had the words “and Deli” added to its signage, and those iconic corner doors opened for business. A legend was born. Today, the place is packed every morning for those in need of a freshly roasted cup of coffee or a delicious home baked pastry crafted with love.
