About

Café Olimpico operates as a quintessential Italian-style espresso bar focusing on the art of traditional coffee preparation and authentic confectionery items. Patrons select from an extensive menu of expertly pulled shots, including signature lattes and robust double espressos, crafted with precise brewing techniques. The interior layout prioritizes a fast-paced, standing-room culture reminiscent of bustling European cafes that demand efficiency and high-quality ingredients. Glass display cases showcase a rotating selection of handmade cannoli, biscotti, and assorted pastries that pair directly with the dark-roast coffee profiles. The environment centers on the sensory experience of freshly ground beans and the tactile nature of classic ceramic serveware. This establishment maintains a rigid commitment to its heritage by delivering consistent, bold beverage standards that define the local coffee culture for dedicated enthusiasts.

My rating is based on the espresso. It was great, but this place was extremely small & crowded by noon. The area it is in is a high trafficed tourist area.

I had a lovely afternoon espresso in this lovely café, located in a beautiful building at the heart of Montreal old town. People were coming in continuously but the polite staff managed to satisfy everyone.

Very friendly staff, I wish they do Cafe Crème decaf as well, I wanted to have it evening but there was only caffeinated, also if you do medium size too not only small or large. I loved the place, super crowded during the weekend.

Excellent(issime) café perco, assorti d'une viennoiserie italienne. Nous avons découvert le (grand)café Olimpico à Mile End, puis avons testé avec le même goût ceux de la vieille ville & du quartier international. Il ne nous manque que celui de Westmount pour que l'expérience soit complète 🥰

Cafe Olimpico's coffee is incredible. I've ordered it to the west coast because it's just that good. The space of this location is small, yet romantic-my partner proposed here outside, so this cafe will always hold a special place in my heart!
