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.

I was looking for a cafe & someone we asked on the street said this is the best cafe in old Montreal! I tried the smoked turkey sandwich & my gf had a croissant:) Julian & his son Nicholas were super friendly & even made us a dessert ! We got free stickers to take home with us to BC. Julian told us the history & welcomed us everyday with a greeting . We came back everyday for a cafe with our new friends! Definitely recommend all around best service :)

Tucked along Old Montreal's cobblestone lined streets stands the exquisite Café Olimpico. The warmly lit, woodsy interior felt cozy & inviting when we first visited on a cold, drizzly Tuesday afternoon. The two young men working that day made us feel very welcome with their friendly conversation & good humor.

I ordered an affogato, & forgot to tell the barista -who had added a cannoli shell-that I have Celiac. But he was very understanding & patiently remade the drink without any complaint. The affogato itself was a heavenly merging of silky hazelnut gelato with the perfect shots of full-bodied espresso.

My kids (who do not have celiac) enjoyed fresh, delicious pastries. Among them was a Bombolini that contained a generous amount of rich, creamy filling.

We enjoyed our experience & can't wait to return!

Reading the reviews, we had to go out of our way to visit Café Olimpico. The quality of the drinks, desserts (bombolina & cannoli) & affogato were outstanding.

As one of my family members has Celiac, we had to be careful of the cannoli shell they put into the affogato. We forgot to mention that, but they happily made a fresh one in a gluten free manner.

Absolutely wonderful service. You cannot go wrong to visit.
