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.

Best crema di caffe in town! We also love their Remix but we wish it had more ice in it!

We had a lovely service from Julien in the evening. The lines do get pretty long (an indicator that the place is in high demand for its quality), but once you get your order, everything is just so good.

I wish I would have asked the name of this amazing passionated barista here. Hands down the most professional I have even came across my life. How lucky I am that on my first day of my first time visit to the beautiful city of Montreal, I happened to find this place at the right time with this gentleman & have the chance of having a great shot of espresso & a shot conversation. Can't wait to get back here again.

The first thing that impressed me was just how kind they are! They made sure the hot chocolates that they made for my boys weren't too hot & took the time to talk to my 7 year old. They shook hands with some other customers leaving. A great vibe & the coffee & cookies were great too.

We got there as soon as it opened as we had to run to a tour. The atmosphere is cozy. The coffee was good & I got a delicious chocolate croissant.
