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.

This is a small coffee shop with 6 tables & some baked goods, but they had the best coffee & service we encountered during our 4 day stay in Old Montreal. The first day I went it was very early, so no line. The next time I went was late morning & the line was to the end of the cafe. I almost left, but remembered how every other coffee I had during our stay was bland & weak. So I decided to tough it out. With 15 people ahead of me I was still out of there in under 10 minutes. The baristas were so quick! Friendly too. This is where you want to go for your coffee in Old Montreal.

Quelle belle découverte que ce café. L'ambiance est vraiment chaleureuse avec ses magnifiques plafonds détaillés.

J'ai adoré les petites douceurs, surtout les biscuits présentés dans les grands bocaux en verre sur le comptoir. C'est l'endroit parfait pour une pause café de qualité. Tout était délicieux & le service était impeccable. J'ai hâte d'y retourner.

Oh my goodness, this place is famous for all the right reasons! There was a lineup when we arrived, but it was absolutely worth the wait.

We ordered the coffee, biscuits, & affogato, & every single item was incredible. Everything tasted fresh, rich, & full of flavor. It's easy to see why this place is so popular.

I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area. We'll absolutely be back!
