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.

Stopped in here after a long walk around the port area. It was quite crowded but we managed to snag a small table near the back. The coffee was strong & bold exactly how I like it. It definitely captures that classic European cafe vibe that is so hard to find these days. It is a bit pricey but you are paying for the location & the genuine experience of being in the heart of the historic district.

This cafe has been a staple of my weekend routine for quite some time now. The interior is simple & understated which I really appreciate. They do not try too hard with fancy additions they just focus on making a high quality cup of coffee. It is a fantastic spot to get some reading done if you can find a quiet corner. I really value the consistency here because you know exactly what you are going to get every single time.

Each one of the staff is more handsome than the next. I have to say, all I ordered here was a cappuccino so I can't speak to anything else but damn these guys are hot. My friend & I peeked in later in the day to see if the hot morning coffee guys were still there & they were gone, but in their place...more hot guys. Cappuccino was great as well.

Cool place. Run by staff who seem like a bunch of'bros' who decided on a whim to open a coffee shop.

Had the worst experience with a worker there. His tone & attitude was extremely disrespectful. I asked him if the Cortado has any flavouring & instead of answering my simple question, idk where he took the conversation. I even wanted coffee beans & he said they are mocha. I was genuinely very confused as what he's talking about. In the end his tone was extremely rude & disrespectful. I came from Toronto & my brother really wanted the coffee beans from this place. Extremely sad to see the rude staff & defs would not recommend this place at all.
