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.

I highly recommend this cafe. Best cappuccino I've had since Italy. We even managed to score a table by the window. Plastic-free spoon was provided for the affogato.

This coffee shop restored my faith in humanity, I was feeling very sad & anxious going on with my days a hopeless lowlife with no friends. If it wasn't for cafe olimpico I wouldn't have met the love of my life Kenneth. He gave me a new view on life. The service was heavenly, they coordinated our proposal & even had my favourite Taylor swift song playing in the background. The coffee aroma really set the tone for the whole thing. Truly an amazing experience.
