Olimpico a une énorme réputation & c'est pleinement mérité. Une fois que tu y vas une fois, ça devient une sorte d'addiction. Le café est génial & il y a une multitude de pâtisseries absolument délicieuses. J'ai goûté aux 3 sortes de bomboloni & au Tiramisu & la qualité des produits atteint le niveau d'un dessert d'un bon restaurant tellement c'est bon. Le service est également chaleureux. Le seul bémol de l'endroit est qu'il est victime de sa popularité & il y a toujours une file peut importe l'heure. Heureusement, elle avance vite & on arrive à se faire servir rapidement tout de même.

Small cups but really creative coffees & desserts. We thought the tiramisu was fab & the cafe crema was worth the hype. We weren't sure if you could order iced coffee because it wasn't listed on the menus, but we were able to order iced Americanos easily. The line looked really long but moved quickly & the person serving us was really friendly even with the rush.

Great coffee. The cappuccino had such a nice texture, loved it. The affogato was great in the hot summer. We tried the cannoli & it was great. The tiramisu looked nice too.

So I came for the first time for a school trip & the espresso with ice was so good then after a month in the summer I came with my dad got the tiramisu with the same espresso. Tiramisu gave me memories of the tiramisu from my Italy trip. To conclude this place has great service & food.

The most creamiest coffee soft serve ice cream. The cafe sells other Italian desserts such as slices of tiramisu as well as gelato & beverages (espresso). There are multiple small ish tables that can sit 2-3 people. Went to try it around 5:30 on a Wednesday. Most of the tables were taken.
