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.

Excellent café & service très souriant...
Ils aiment ce qu'ils font & on s'y sent bien...

C'est fort petit & vu le monde qui y vient, on a pas tjs une place pour se mettre à l'aise...
Mais tout est aussi pensé pour emporter...

Visited Café Olimpico with friends & had such a great experience. We ordered the affogato & tiramisu, & both were absolutely amazing. The affogato was perfectly balanced with rich espresso & creamy gelato, while the tiramisu was fresh, soft, & full of flavor. The café has such a lively & cozy vibe, making it a perfect spot to relax & catch up with friends. Definitely a must-visit place in Montreal for coffee & dessert lovers!

One of the worker there was so rude. I sat for 5 minutes waiting for my friend, the worker came in from behind & told me to go order. So much attitude.
The other staff member were cool though.

Always a fan of Cafe Olympico, & most importantly - their tiramisu 😍

It's always super busy, but for good reasons!

May first time to the Vieu-Port location after the Mile-end one. Great staff, very friendly & professional, same great coffee. Places to sit are very limited so expect to get your order to-go.
