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.

The most creamiest coffee soft serve ice cream. The cafe sells other Italian desserts such as slices of tiramisu as well as gelato & beverages (espresso). There are multiple small ish tables that can sit 2-3 people. Went to try it around 5:30 on a Wednesday. Most of the tables were taken.

?The pastries & coffee here are fantastic-the Tiramisu is an absolute must-try! Because it's so popular, expect a long line & a bit of a wait. Seating is incredibly limited inside, so I highly recommend grabbing your treats to go. You can walk just a block down to find plenty of public seating where you can relax, people-watch, & enjoy your food. Also, parking in this area is a nightmare. Do yourself a favor: park further away, walk over, & take in the beautiful Old Montreal views along the way.

TERRIBLE SERVICE! When we arrived, there was a long line, but ahead of us was a group of people. While the barista was taking my order, he kept talking to that same group, completely ignored me, & served me whatever he wanted to make. Very disappointed because I used to like this place a lot. I had this issue on Tuesday, May 19th, around 2:00 PM. 👎

Swung by Cafe Olimpico while in Montreal for the weekend - heard the hype from a buddy back in Toronto. Espresso pulled solid, proper crema, nothing burnt. Latte was decent but milk could've been hotter. Vibe is old-school Italian, kinda loud, no wifi worth mentioning. Pastry case had a flaky cornetto that saved the visit. Worth the stop, eh.

Affogato was delicious. The espresso used was no joke. If you like strong espresso, this is it.
