Carli Clesmere As the Shore starts gearing up for another season of beach days and sunny weekends, new openings always add a little extra excitement to the mix. Olive + Oak, a café, charcuterie, catering concept, and grab-and-go market, has opened at 700 Oceanport Avenue in Oceanport — and we visited soon after the opening. Read on for more about Olive + Oak, a new cafe in Oceanport, New Jersey.
The First Storefront for Olive + Oak
Olive + Oak took to social media on March 8th, 2026, to share a teaser reel announcing that its grand opening will take place at the new storefront located at 700 Oceanport Avenue in Oceanport on March 28th, beginning with a 10 AM ribbon cutting. Olive + Oak has been operating as a charcuterie and catering business since 2020, but this storefront marks the brand’s first brick-and-mortar location and a new chapter for the business.

After the opening, the JSG team stopped by to see what it was all about. The shop is very much café vibes, with a menu of coffee drinks and grab-and-go bites, positioning it as a go-to spot for healthy, nutritious, and delicious bites throughout the day. It’s kind of like a market, with a coffee bar serving up some seriously over-the-top (read: delicious) drinks. There are no charcuterie options at the cafe at the moment, but the team plans on hosting charcuterie-making classes coming up.

Bites, Boxes + Grazing Tables
The brand first gained a following through its variety of charcuterie boxes, catering selections, grazing tables, and event services. The charcuterie section includes boxes that range in size and price point, making them suitable for anything from a small gathering to a larger celebration.
The catering menu is filled with both savory and sweet bites. Savory selections include items like turkey and cheese sandwiches and crostinis with goat cheese, while the sweeter side features treats such as chocolate-covered strawberries and chocolate mousse shooters. For larger spreads, Olive + Oak also has grazing tables in three styles, including flat lay, multi-level, and the most elaborate option, described as a multi-dimensional display.
Olive + Oak is also available for events, which, based on its social media, appears to be a popular part of the business. From birthday parties to weddings, the brand brings its signature charcuterie spreads directly to the celebration.
A Look Inside the Space
The café space leans into a light and airy aesthetic that feels very Jersey Shore coded. The design features soft colors with accents of pinks, pastel blues, florals, and bright natural light, creating a relaxed café atmosphere that fits right in with the coastal setting.
