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.

Cortado en espagnol veux dire cortar(to cut) & non court.
Un cortado est donc un espresso ((couper)) avec du lait & non un espresso corto ( court)

🇮🇹 A Sip of History in Old Montreal ☕✨

AStepping into Café Olimpico - Vieux-Montréal feels like a quick trip to Rome without leaving the cobblestone streets of Old Montreal. Whether you're an early bird catching the 6 AM sunrise or looking for a late-night espresso fix, this spot delivers that perfect European vibe every time.

Did you know? While this stunning location is a neighborhood favorite, the Olimpico legacy actually began in 1970 when founder Rocco Furfaro opened the original shop in Mile End just so he'd have a place to watch soccer games with his friends! ⚽? Today, they still serve that same secret family blend of six different beans that has made them a global coffee landmark.

Grab a cannoli, snag a window seat, & watch the world go by in the heart of the Old Port. 🥐🏛?
