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.

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!

Les cafés & pâtisseries sont bons. Même si l'affogato est sur le menu, il n'y en a pas l'hiver. Le service est correct sans plus, l'endroit est très petit.

Cafe Olimpico never disappoints especially the old port location! Very nice vibes. Enjoy a delicious coffee in the old port anytime of the year! Their cafe crema is really good & unique!

If you're searching for the best hot chocolate in town, look no further than Cafe Olimpico. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles & exceptional customer service that made me feel right at home. Their hot chocolate is nothing short of perfection. It was rich, velvety, & perfectly balanced-not too sweet, with just the right amount of chocolatey indulgence. Served with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, it felt like a hug in a cup. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients, & the care put into its preparation is evident in every sip. The staff were incredibly attentive & friendly, ensuring I had everything I needed. They even took the time to recommend some pastries to pair with the drink, which turned out to be an amazing combination.
