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.

- Super small place, but lovely & cozy - Beverages & food are a 10/10. Try the Nutella biscuit & the affogato. - Conveniently located next to the hotel & in a turistic area - Must try if this is your first time in Montreal

Food & coffee are so so good! Usually the staff is nice but today the guy was rude probably because I didn't speak french? Cafe creme is my favourite! Also the nutella snack was super tasty too. Their cakes are fresh & gooey 🤤

An known staple here in MTL. The bombolone pistachio was delicious & the Machiatto was perfect. However I do have to criticize the service here which is why I give 3 stars. 2 out of 3 in the staff are just not doing anything & the third guy is doing everything for everyone !

Highly recommend this coffee shop! Everything here is fantastic - the interior, the ambiance, the delicious coffee, & desserts! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Tried the Remix Coffee for $6.50, & it was definitely a unique & delightful choice, likely exclusive to this place. The tiramisu we ordered was tender & delicious, a true delight! 🤤
