The atmosphere is repeatedly described as cozy, warm, and authentically Italian, with a lively vibe and plenty of character that make it feel like a Montreal staple, though the space is small and can get crowded, which can limit seating and turn takeout into the preferred option during busy times. Service is frequently commended for friendliness, efficiency, and a welcoming energy, even when lines are long, while a few visits note occasional service hiccups or delays. The menu elements most often mentioned in praise include the remix coffee, affogato, cannoli, croissants, gelato, and a standout crema, together with reliable smiles from staff and a strong sense of tradition. On some occasions, experiences were influenced by factors outside the cafe, but the overarching impression across locations is that Café Olimpico offers high quality coffee and desserts in a vibrant, convivial setting that locals and visitors alike come back to.View restaurant profile

At Muffin Plus, reviews present a mixed picture: some praise good value for money and point to excellent bagels and the staff as the best, while others describe incredibly slow and rude service, with orders taken one item at a time and staff who appear busy and snap. Food quality is seen as okay overall but with long waits for muffins and drinks, and muffins described as very dry or stale and not worth the price. The impression is that taste and value help some experiences, but service issues and inconsistent quality detract from others.View restaurant profile
