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.

I visited this cafe between 6 & 7 PM recently & had a very disappointing experience.

At first, I tried to overlook the ruined latte art as a simple mistake, but it was extremely rude & unpleasant that the staff cleared away my plate & coffee cup without asking me, simply assuming that I had finished.

What made this even more difficult to understand was that this is not a full-service restaurant with table service, & I had brought my own food & drink to the table myself. In that kind of cafe, it felt very strange for the staff to clear my table without first checking with me. It made me feel as though I was being pressured to leave, even though I was already fully aware that the cafe closes at midnight.

Since I was the only Asian customer in the store at the time, I could not help but wonder whether this was more than simple rudeness & may have been influenced by racial bias. I have worked in cafes & customer service in Canada myself & have visited many restaurants & cafes here, but this was the first time I had experienced service like this. I hope the staff will show basic courtesy in the future by checking with customers before clearing their table.

Had the hot Cafe Latte & while it was above average, it pales in comparison to the Latte Freddo, an iced drink.

Café pour les touristes uniquement on dirait. J'y suis allée puisque je travaille dans le quartier & c'est à peine si on m'a dit bonjour contrairement aux touristes sur place à qui les employés font la conversation !
