• Freshness is all

This is THE place to go for deli lunch or dinner in Milford, Connecticut, if you are a vegan. There are ample selections with which to compose a delicious plate. Also wonderful for carry-out. The only place in the area to get freshly made hummus, etc. The management are scrupulous about freshness. Please note that, after closing for renovations after last winter's (2015) heavy snowfall damaged their roof, the Olive Tree has reinvented itself as explicitly appealing to the vegan crowd. While there is still chicken and feta on the menu, since this is after all an ethnic establishment, it is now a rare oasis for those seeking animal-friendly alternatives. The selection is big, original, and delicious. Also, while still a deli, the interior is now more pleasant for dining on the premises. Now more than ever, this is THE place to go for the Milford vegetarian or vegan, and even worth a trip for the out-of-towner. Update spring 2018: They are going all-out vegan again (see pictures). But a couple of vegan items have been removed from the menu. They will still make special entrees for you if not too busy, so be sure to ask if there is anything else vegan if you don't see what you want on the menu or in the display cases or just want to try something new.
