olexa's cafe, cakes, & catering

absolutely great service. quick answers, friendly, and a great experience so far (haven't picked up mycakeyet, but i'm sure it will be delicious).

beware.caketastes good but don't order weddingcakefrom her. she screwed
my daughterscakeup royally and never apologized.

get the vanilla cake.. on private culver rd. in mountain brook just off the main intersection in the busy english village, olexa’s is a chick-friendly retreat from reality complete with the absolute best vanilla weddingcakewith butter cream frosting i’ve ever eaten. and it’s served warm. the frosting gets melty, as you might expect, but thiscakeis beyond belief! really—it’s worth driving across town for. maybe many towns. oh, and their other food is good too (salads, creps, sandwiches, quiches, soup) ;-) the dining room is decorated to look like the piazza of some old world village complete with tile awnings, shutters, window treatments and flower boxes. it’s a little silly looking, but feels nice anyway. can’t wait to take my out-of-town girlfriends here!

by the way, their catering service is outstanding, too. they did the highland's womens' conference this year: 3,000+ lunches all neatly packed and delicious!

totally awesome!!. their food is very good and the freshest i've had in a long time. absolutely delicious. the service was great. i had the vanilla cake. it's served warm and literally melts in your mouth. seriously you have to try their cake, hold it in your mouth without chewing and it just melts. it's amazing. by far the bestcakei've ever had. even trumps pastry art in homewood!

the atmosphere is cute. made to look like your sitting on the street somewhere. defiantely a lot of girls/women in there. didn't really notice any men besides the guy who seated us. haha but either way delicious food and amazing desserts! oh and they have good prices. salads and paninis range from about 8.99 to 11.95, they have a quiche of the day if you're into that kind of thing. kind of like a panera bread but way way better! their menu is posted on their website too with prices so you can check it out before you go. pictures of the inside are also on there. :)

horrible service. i ordered acakefor a christening. not only was it the wrong color, there was a crack along the top tier. we were told to smooth it out ourselves when we got home. are you kidding me? not acceptable. we will never be back nor refer any of our friends.

go for the cake..lunch is good too. best chocolatecakei have ever eaten

chick dining. and i don't mean chic. this is primarily a housewife's haven, but get the little woman to bring home the chocolatecakeand the salad dressing.

we tried a new place for lunch yesterday - olexa's in mountain brook. i ate lunch with some friends on friday, and they were going on and on about thecakefrom olexa's. i looked olexa's up on the internet and saw they had a cafe and decided to take chick
