Old Montreal's Café Olimpico is widely praised as a beloved Italian coffee spot with rich, smooth coffee and an impressive pastry lineup including tiramisu, cannoli, bomboloni and pistachio croissants; the cozy wooden interior and warm, welcoming staff create a European cafe vibe that draws locals and visitors alike even as the small space and lines can be challenging; customers highlight standout items like affogato, cortado, cappuccino and gelato, along with generous service and occasional thoughtful accommodations for gluten free options; the overall tone is that the cafe is a must visit for authentic flavor, friendly atmosphere, and a strong sense of Montreal cafe culture.
The lines may be long, but the quality is well worth it! Café Olimpico is a quaint cafe located in the lovely neighborhood of Old Port (there are different locations but this is where I went). My partner & I got the Cafe Latte & the Latte Fredo. The Fredo is an Iced Latte (the ice chips were unexpected but the drink was delicious nonetheless). You can taste the actual flavor of the espresso used, & it was great! I rather preferred the Cafe Latte over the Fredo. If you are a flavored latte lover, just know they do not offer flavored lattes. Go instead for the experience, the aesthetic, & the quality! You won't be disappointed!

By far my favorite cafe in Old Port, let alone Montreal. You're always greeted with enthusiastic baristas, awesome music & a great atmosphere. Whether your hear to study during a quiet time or to meet up with friends it really is a place to gather. Last but not least, the coffee is simply amazing & prepped however you like. My go to whenever I'm in Montreal.
This cute cozy café is located in the heart of old port & is a perfect spot to grab desserts/small sandwiches to go or sit down & enjoy your coffee, dessert or breakfast sandwich. They open at 6am, so perfectly suitable for early birds. The staff are very nice & friendly; they made special cold drinks for us & recommended best options to eat. We tried their Tiramisu, Nutella-Cookie & Pistachio Bombolini. My favorite was Nutella-Cookie; I will always come back to try more.
My absolute favourite cafe in old Montreal! The espresso is so creamy & flavourful, the service is spot on, & the guy behind the counter (I should have asked for your name!!) is an absolute master at the art of maintaining a nice balance between exceptional customer service & making the best cappuccinos! Thank you!

These guys were my lifeline of coffee for the few months i was visiting Montreal. Great service open early & late. Over the top amazing cappuccino. When I return to Montreal my hotel will be based on proximity to a cafe olimpico. Would give 6 stars if I could
Un de mes cafés favoris, les serveurs sont tellement sympathiques ça respire la bonne ambiance & les pâtisseries sont délicieuses surtout le tiramisu. Un sans faute
A nice, small & cozy cafe in the heart of Old Montreal. You will find nice confectionery which each one is a piece of art & professional coffees. The ambience is warm. Seats are limited & you may not find a seat easily.
The Cafe Olympico at the old Montreal is simply the best cafe in the planet, & the best coffee as well the totally chilled Baristas! Big shout out to Julian, Shiloh, Nicholas for your kindness & great vibes. You all are the best. Rock it! 🌎🩵

I highly recommend this cafe. Best cappuccino I've had since Italy. We even managed to score a table by the window. Plastic-free spoon was provided for the affogato.
This is a spot you need to hit daily if not twice. In the heart of Old Montreal the coffee, hot chocolate, tiramisu, apple caramel cheese cake & pistachio biscotti & cafe crema all kept my friend & finding our way back everyday for a taste of heaven. The staff are pro barista's! Tre bein! - Vancouver BC
This coffee shop restored my faith in humanity, I was feeling very sad & anxious going on with my days a hopeless lowlife with no friends. If it wasn't for cafe olimpico I wouldn't have met the love of my life Kenneth. He gave me a new view on life. The service was heavenly, they coordinated our proposal & even had my favourite Taylor swift song playing in the background. The coffee aroma really set the tone for the whole thing. Truly an amazing experience.
Super ptit café qui roule super bien il devrait agrandir l'espace selon moi j'ai été au deux location & surtout avoir différents format le format est trop petit ! Leur cheesecake & gâteau ricotta sont top !
