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.

This was hands down the best coffee I've ever had in Canada. It will forever be a staple for me whenever I visit Montreal! So good.

If you like a good extracted espresso: this IS NOT the place. Average to mediocre coffee quality. Italian style coffee shop. Cozy & food is good.

The lines may be long, but the quality is well worth it! Café Olimpico is a quaint cafe located in the lovely neighborhood of Old Port (there are different locations but this is where I went). My partner & I got the Cafe Latte & the Latte Fredo. The Fredo is an Iced Latte (the ice chips were unexpected but the drink was delicious nonetheless). You can taste the actual flavor of the espresso used, & it was great! I rather preferred the Cafe Latte over the Fredo. If you are a flavored latte lover, just know they do not offer flavored lattes. Go instead for the experience, the aesthetic, & the quality! You won't be disappointed!

The coffee is really good.. my first time trying the cannoli. The filling is really sweet for me but the crust or cone is ok.

My favorite place in Montreal! This place is a MUST VISIT. Get the Choclate horn! Ask for the Cappuccino "Capicici" Guy! He's great (:

By far my favorite cafe in Old Port, let alone Montreal. You're always greeted with enthusiastic baristas, awesome music & a great atmosphere. Whether your hear to study during a quiet time or to meet up with friends it really is a place to gather. Last but not least, the coffee is simply amazing & prepped however you like. My go to whenever I'm in Montreal.
