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.

This is considered most hyped cafe in Montreal but indeed we feel it's worth to try! We're impressed with the taste of their coffee & pastry. We ordered the caffe latte & hot chocolate plus the cornetti & bomboloni cakes & it's really well made! The environment & atmosphere is nice & friendly & not very crowded in early morning (they open 6am which is very early to tourist) so mostly is local people here take breakfast in the morning. Only one employee is making everything but it's efficient & running smoothly. It's located in old port & near the Notre-Dame as well

A great place. We took cappuccino, coffee crema, cannoli, & Nutella cookies. Everything is fresh, crispy, & tasty. My favorite is coffee crema ❤️ The line was so huge, but it took maybe 5min to get my order. The barista super fest, I really appreciate the service.

Great place to grab a sandwich & coffee. The place is small with only a bar & 2 small tables. The sandwiches that we got were really good due to the delicious bread.
