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.

Highly recommended for coffee lovers like us. I loved the crema cafe & my husband enjoyed remix cafe. We stayed in MTL 2 days & we visited this location everyday religiously for breakfast & dinner. The tiramisu & pistachios donuts were outstanding. Over all such a great experience & the staff are very friendly.

We will definitely come back again during our next visit.

I visited for the first time yesterday & was honestly shocked by the service.

The baristas were incredibly rude & acted like making my order was a major inconvenience.

Beyond the attitude, the drink felt like a total scam. I ordered a medium cortado, but the cup was barely half full. I understand a cortado is a small, traditional drink, but if you offer a'medium' size & charge more for it, you shouldn't be giving customers the same small amount of coffee.
Between the dismissive staff & the misleading pricing, I won't be coming back.

Save your money & go somewhere that actually wants your business.

Favorite coffee of the five cafes we hit in our long weekend in Montreal. The cortado was especially perfect & vibe in here was a super fun neighborhood joint.

A cafe at the perfect location, at the centre of Old Montreal. I absolutely loved everything I had here. Café Olimpico has to be one of the top bakery/coffee shops in Montreal. You must try the affogato & tiramisu if you visit this cafe. The lines are usually long during the day, so try to come here early in the morning to avoid the line & get a seat inside!

Went on a sunny but windy day & it was packed with people. The place was very lively but setting the tone for a friendly & inviting atmosphere.
The staff, while being quite busy, was still very friendly & patient with us. They gave us a few rounds of free water while in line & even a little chocolate on the house.
The drinks & snacks were fantastic as well & well worth the roughly 10min wait.
Would happily return next time I'm in the area!
