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.

It was very crowded when I went & so there was nowhere to sit cause there aren't many seating places. It's a very cool vibe inside though. The coffee was rich in flavor.

Got tiramisu & affogato, were both great. Staff were friendly. They don't have gelato in the winter for affogato.

The Latte Freddo is great! It's served chilled without ice. The coffee flavour is on point.

Best coffee I've had in Montreal. Tiny space & mediocre service but the coffee was well worth it.

The Mordatella sandwich was so yummy! Pistachio bomboloni was heavenly! Tea with milk was way above expectations. This cafe was worth waiting in line for. Highly recommend this gem of a cafe & we will be back when we visit Montreal next time!
