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.

On the positive side the place is really well located & interior decoration gives a great cosy vibe. Also service is great. Otherwise the coffee is far from the best & it is served in an unpleasant tall glass instead of a coffee cup. Most pastries can really be improved. Expect the place to be very busy because of the high reviews & its prime location in Old Port

It's fine. I really enjoyed it last year, but this year it was a bit of a let down. The service this time was worse, & coffee wasnt as good. They forgot to make my drinks, when I reminded them they were grumpy rather than apologetic, & they made them incorrectly (they forgot to sweeten). I could've probably let them know it was wrong, but gave up at that point

Great place to have coffee in Old Montreal area coz the interiors blended well with the overall feel of the area. The cafe is also intertwined with Hotel William Gray & Vetement Le Cartel.

I got the flat white, tiramisu & for take home- their beans & coffee-scented candle. The coffee was really good-full bodied, rich & strong. Tiramisu could be better though since I couldn't really taste the mascarpone.

If at once you enter the cafe from St. Vincent & it seems full, just go round past Le Cartel, you'll see more seating shared by hotel guests of William Gray.
