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.

Nice latte night chill spot. Especially for those who don't go clubbing, this is a great alienation. The coffee & quite strong so I'm glad I ordered it in latte. I even drink lots of coffee but their pours are almost like you are eating well roasted grounds. They have cookies & ice cream as well. I tried the amaretto cookie & it was fluffy & soft & not crumbly & hard like I hoped but it went well with the coffee because it was sweet & helped cut the bitter strength of the coffee. Space is limited here even though the building is beautiful stone in a great neighborhood to walk.

Customer service was pleasant. We got there when it started to get busy, so it was a little crowded. However, it was a very nice experience.

It's a very busy location but service is very fast. I ordered the affogato & it was delicious. The espresso has a very smooth, soft flavour. Paired well with pistachio ice cream. Tiramisu is also very good! My friend ordered an almond croissant. Crispy layers with custard cream inside (I think it's custard?) love it! Reasonable price at a DT cafe shop too!

Came here with my wife for breakfast & then we returned later that day after dinner. The vibe is very cozy & the service is very friendly. For breakfast, we ordered the prosciutto & mortadella sandwiches. The prosciutto sandwich was my first Italian sandwich & it truly blew my mind. Their cappuccinos were also good. My wife tried the cafe crema & she absolutely loved it. For our later night dessert, we ordered the hazelnut & pistachio gelato, & it was the best gelato we tasted in to this day. We tried other gelato in Montreal, but this was hands down the best. The line can be very long here in the morning & also late at night.
