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.

J'ai testé le pistachio affogato & la crema chez Olimpico. Les boissons étaient vraiment jolies visuellement, le service très chaleureux & souriant, & l'emplacement dans le Vieux-Port est tout simplement parfait.
Malheureusement, le pistachio affogato m'a déçue : en tant que Persane, je connais bien le vrai goût de la pistache, & celle-ci en manquait cruellement. C'était surtout très sucré, presque écoeurant, au point que je n'ai pas pu le terminer.
La crema (glace-café) était elle aussi extrêmement sucrée & manquait d'équilibre entre les saveurs.
Au total, les deux boissons m'ont coûté environ 20 $ avant pourboire.
Un bel endroit avec un service agréable, mais les desserts glacés gagneraient à être moins sucrés & plus fidèles à leurs parfums !

Without a doubt, one of the best café & gelato spot in Montreal! Café Olimpico - has the perfect mix of authentic Italian coffee, rich & creamy gelato, & an incredible atmosphere for desserts & refreshers.

The Affogato is an absolute must-try, & the Caffè Crema or Coffee Crema is unforgettable-smooth, refreshing, & packed with rich espresso flavor. Pair it with their coffee gelato for the ultimate treat. Their cappuccino is consistently excellent, making every visit feel like a little trip to Italy.

The staff are welcoming, the service is fast, & the cozy European vibe makes you want to stay for hours. Whether you're stopping by for a coffee, an affogato, or a scoop of gelato while exploring Old Montreal, this place never disappoints.

A true Montreal gem that I highly recommend to anyone looking for the best coffee & ice cream experience in the city!

Great coffee. The cappuccino had such a nice texture, loved it. The affogato was great in the hot summer. We tried the cannoli & it was great. The tiramisu looked nice too.

So I came for the first time for a school trip & the espresso with ice was so good then after a month in the summer I came with my dad got the tiramisu with the same espresso. Tiramisu gave me memories of the tiramisu from my Italy trip. To conclude this place has great service & food.
