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.

Review Summary

Café Olimpico is widely celebrated as a quintessential Montreal institution, cherished for its authentic European atmosphere and consistently high-quality Italian coffee, including standouts like the caffe crema, affogato, and perfectly pulled espresso. Guests frequently praise the warm, professional, and energetic service provided by the staff, who manage busy, high-traffic periods with efficiency and charm. While the space is often described as cozy and intimate with limited seating, the lively vibe and historic aesthetic make it a must-visit destination. Although a few visitors have noted that portions are small, prices are premium, or queues can be long, the majority of reviewers agree that the exceptional tiramisu, fresh pastries, and genuine Italian experience make it an unforgettable part of any trip to Old Montreal.

Way too expensive. This cost $18 !!! for such a small portion!! 😭😭 I'm not sure if there was a mistake with the charge or if this is the standard pricing at this cafe, but considering the long wait & all the hype surrounding it, I didn't feel it was quite worth it. While the taste was fine (just tasted like coffee ice cream tbh), I'd recommend doing some research first to see if it fits your budget & expectations. There are definitely other places that might offer better value for the price :'))

I don't get the hype about this place, the cafe freddo was too sweet & the pistachio pastry was the sweetest thing i've ever had, felt like I had a whole scoop of nutella in my mouth every bite.

LOVE this chain. I can't say enough good things about this place. We got the tirmisu, a cannoli, the remix & a mocha iced coffee. Both the drinks were great, I would get them again no doubt, as well as the sweets.
I will say though that the sizes are on the smaller size so keep that in mind, but I no doubt recommend this place to those coming into Montreal, it may be my favourite coffee I had in the city!
