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.
Always come here for the amazing vibes from all the staff & for the best coffee in town. (You must try their pistachio affogato). Creative spot & playlist is always on point. Special thanks to Sean & Julien for their consistent outstanding energy!
I love this small café in an old building. There is exposed brick. Decorations are old pictures of Italian moments. There are about 7 tables, if you don't like being too close to people, you are better ordering out. The guys at the counter were super nice & friendly. I had a foccacia sandwich with mortadella & some honey sauce. It was delicious!! I'm not a big fan of mortadella, but this one was so good. Cappuccino was great, too ( good grade coffee).

This has got to be one of the BEST coffee spots in Quebec that I have ever been to. The five days I was in Montreal I went 5 times. &, me returning is not for a lack of coffee shops in Montreal. The coffee is amazing. The baked goods are even better. The location is nestled in a beautiful spot in old Montreal. Truly a gem & a must stop if visiting Montreal.
To be honest when I first came to mtl a year ago I was sad cuz I was afraid I'll never find good coffee & by chance I went there my second day & tried the coffee & it was amazing Now it's almost two years here & I can't imagine my day without passing by & grabbing my coffee Also what makes me happy is the little conversation with the staff they r nice & always know how to make my day right For real this is the best coffee place ever ✨
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.
