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.

Worth the wait. Amazing Italian coffee, hot chocolate & treats. Loved the bombalonis. Amazing attentive staff that noticed my son was sad that he did not get a delicious hot chocolate (tasted his brothers). They gave him a hot chocolate free of charge. Love this place. ❤️

Just went to the Olimpico cafe in old port & the coffee was amazing!! They have a lot of snack options so I got myself a little pistachio croissant ✨ Léo was the barista that served me & his coffe was perfectly done, coming from someone that drinks coffee every day. You might have to wait a couple minutes but it's definetly worth it! The atmosphere is warm & you have a couple tables to seat if you want to.

Unfriendly staff. No plates for food, two tiramisu on one plate( . Coffee didn't express me at all. Really recommend to find another place to drink coffee.

This is a super cute spot for a coffee. The pistachio croissant is a must try! The mocha was super rich & not too sweet. Staff was very friendly with big smiles as well!

I was just going to settle for a regular coffee but the employee who took my order said he wanted to make sure I liked my drink & recommended the Remix - a mix of hot & cold. I wouldn't normally have cold coffee in January but figured why not. I took my order to go, & I'm so glad I got it! The espresso flavour was great & the drink had the right amount of sweetness. Because it was so cold outside, I think it kept the drink at a nice consistency & it maintained a smooth texture. Thanks for the recommendation!
