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.

A cafe at the perfect location, at the centre of Old Montreal. I absolutely loved everything I had here. Café Olimpico has to be one of the top bakery/coffee shops in Montreal. You must try the affogato & tiramisu if you visit this cafe. The lines are usually long during the day, so try to come here early in the morning to avoid the line & get a seat inside!

Went on a sunny but windy day & it was packed with people. The place was very lively but setting the tone for a friendly & inviting atmosphere.
The staff, while being quite busy, was still very friendly & patient with us. They gave us a few rounds of free water while in line & even a little chocolate on the house.
The drinks & snacks were fantastic as well & well worth the roughly 10min wait.
Would happily return next time I'm in the area!

This is hands down the best coffee I have EVER had. The Americano. & I have been all around Europe, Italy etc. The staff was very friendly too & even gave me a coffee on the house when I bought a bag! ( I had to take some home to Toronto). If you are anywhere near here - just go!

Very lovely little café on the corner. The atmosphere inside is incredibly charming. It's a small place. The warm lighting & stone walls make me feel like I am in a cozy countryside café somewhere in Europe. The barista working the morning shift was also adorable, humming while making coffee. Love this place so much. This place made my impression of Old Montreal even more special.

Great coffee & nibbles. Given the limited seats, it would be great if their clients could go to the office instead of being on their laptops in the cafe.
