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.

If you're looking for an authentic coffee experience in Montreal, this is the place to be! I tried the Remix & Cafe Crema, & both were absolutely delicious. The staff were exceptionally friendly. Two of them-whose names I unfortunately forgot-were especially kind & even surprised me with free chocolate! I would definitely go back.

One of the best coffee shop in Montréal! Even if it's small, it feels very welcoming, & the staff is always nice & smiling! Their cappuccino is delicious, & please try their tiramisu, it's the best in town ! Over the summer, they also offer a delectable ice cream (coffe crema)!

I had an extremely upsetting & disappointing experience at Café Olimpico in Montreal. At first, everything was going well-I was joking around with the cashier while paying, & we were having a good time. But then another staff member, a tall, blonde, tattooed guy working behind the barista counter, completely ruined the mood with his rude & racist behavior.

When I politely asked if my iced latte had been mixed, he snapped,'It's your job to do that.' I calmly told him he could speak more respectfully to clients, & instead of responding professionally, he mocked me by repeatedly saying'habibi, habibi' in a sarcastic & condescending tone-clearly targeting me for being Arab.

When I asked for his name (at least five times), he refused to give it. Instead, he stepped out from behind the counter & tried to intimidate me, as if hoping I would react so he could shift the blame onto me. I didn't respond to his provocation, but the whole situation left me feeling humiliated & unsafe.

This type of behavior is completely unacceptable. No customer should ever face racism or intimidation-especially not in a diverse city like Montreal. I sincerely hope Café Olimpico takes this seriously & enforces proper training & accountability.
