Review Summary

Café Olimpico is widely celebrated as an essential Old Montreal coffee spot, where rich, smooth espresso and a European vibe draw crowds and a loyal following. The beverage lineup includes cortado and affogato, paired with a pastry program that features tiramisu, cannoli, bomboloni, pistachio pastries, and other sweets that many describe as standout, along with notable hot chocolate and gelato. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, with authentic Italian touches and a lively, sometimes busy energy that makes lines common but often move quickly thanks to friendly and efficient service. Space is small with limited seating, which can be a challenge during peak times, though visitors often say the quality and hospitality make the wait worthwhile. The location in the heart of Old Port adds to the appeal, and many reviews frame Café Olimpico as a must visit, with guests returning on future trips for coffee, desserts, and that distinctive cafe culture.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the most wonderful experience at this charming coffee shop in the old port! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile & exceptional service. Not only was the coffee delicious & expertly brewed, but the cozy atmosphere & friendly staff made my visit truly memorable. Tommy & David went above & beyond to ensure that I had everything I needed & his knowledge & passion for coffee were evident in every cup he served. I highly recommend this coffee shop to anyone looking for a perfect blend of great coffee & top-notch service. I will definitely be returning soon

L'ambiance, de la déco à la musique, en passant par le service est géniale! Leur caffè crema est excellent, je recommande également les cannolis si vous aimez ça.

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.

Very friendly owner! He told us that the gelato is imported directly from Italy. Would recommend the affogato if you want to balance out the gelato with the bitter espresso.

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.

Highly recommend this coffee shop! Everything here is fantastic - the interior, the ambiance, the delicious coffee, & desserts! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Tried the Remix Coffee for $6.50, & it was definitely a unique & delightful choice, likely exclusive to this place. The tiramisu we ordered was tender & delicious, a true delight! 🤤
