Café Olimpico est souvent décrit comme un incontournable du Vieux-Montréal, avec une ambiance chaleureuse et une énergie italienne qui invite à prendre son temps. Le café est généralement riche et équilibré et accompagne des pâtisseries et desserts remarquables comme tiramisu, cannoli et bomboloni pistache, tandis que des boissons comme espresso, cortado et cappuccino remportent les meilleurs avis. L'endroit, petit et intime, offre un cadre authentique avec des touches européennes, et il est courant de trouver des places près des fenêtres pour profiter du quartier; les visiteurs apprécient aussi la fraîcheur et la qualité des pâtisseries. Le lieu attire une foule importante et les files peuvent être longues, mais l'équipe est décrite comme chaleureuse et efficace, rendant l'attente plus agréable. Situé au cœur du Vieux-Port, il propose une expérience mêlant découverte culinaire et atmosphère historique, ce qui en fait une étape privilégiée pour les amateurs de café à Montréal. Certains retours mentionnent des moments de service plus froid ou un manque de places assises lors des périodes de pointe, mais l'ensemble des avis s'accorde à dire que le café et les desserts restent d'une grande qualité et que l'identité italienne du lieu en fait une halte mémorable à Montréal.
A True Gem in Old Montreal!
Café Olimpico is an absolute must-visit! The Hazelnut Affogato was out of this world-rich, creamy, & perfectly balanced. The cannoli, made fresh in Europe & served here in Montreal, tasted authentic & heavenly. & the tiramisu? Simply delicious-light, flavorful, & the perfect sweet ending.
The atmosphere is warm & inviting, with that classic Italian café vibe that makes you want to stay for hours. Every detail feels crafted with love & tradition. If you're in Old Montreal, do yourself a favor & stop by-this place is unforgettable!

Such a cute & cozy café! I tried the pistachio affogato, croissant, & tiramisu - all delicious.
The classic espresso & desserts were spot on, & the staff were very friendly. Seating is limited inside, so it's a great spot to grab a coffee while exploring the area. Love it?
This was a really nice spot, but be prepared to wait in a long line. However, totally worth it. We got the pistachio affogato, hazelnut affogato, latte freddo, tiramisu, & Nutella bombolini. The pistachio affogato was spot on & delicious, the hazelnut affogato was a bit too sweet for me. The latte freddo was sooooo good & perfectly bitter for after the Nutella doughnut! The tiramisu was also spot on & I was a tad worried because I've read reviews where they mentioned it tasting boozy, but I think it was pretty close to the real deal. The Nutella bombolini was super filled & super sweet, so you are warned… or prepared! Great spot! Loved it! Oh also seating area is tiny & sparse so hopefully you take it to walk with.

As a tourist in Montreal, I had about five days to hit up as many cafés & restaurants as I could. Café Olimpico kept popping up in TikTok recommendations, & while I'm usually skeptical of viral spots, curiosity got the best of me-& I'm so glad it did.
I ordered an affogato because I wanted to try something new that I don't usually get at cafés, & I love ice cream. It exceeded my expectations. I've honestly been thinking about that drink at least once a day since. The espresso-flavoured ice cream was amazing-not too sweet or overpowering, which I really appreciated-& the espresso itself stood out with bold, smooth flavour.
The day before, I'd gone to another hyped café where the coffee tasted burnt, so I wasn't expecting much. But this? Café Olimpico impressed me. I genuinely wish I had brought some coffee beans back with me.
The interior was cozy, welcoming, & full of character-the kind of place you just want to sit & take it all in. If I lived nearby, I know I'd be stopping in at least once every couple of weeks.
Les cafés & pâtisseries sont bons. Même si l'affogato est sur le menu, il n'y en a pas l'hiver. Le service est correct sans plus, l'endroit est très petit.
Tasty Pastry, Good Coffee, & Historical vibe. First time in Montreal, & received a tons of good things about Cafe Olimpico that I must pay a visit. We stopped by after a sight shopping around Old town area. So luckily that we got an empty spot! Tiramisu, Latte, Affogato for the first round! Briefly, Tiramisu was good, fresh made. It's the most famous here. Affogato suit to my non-coffee type of person, but I found that it was SO sweet! Second round, 2x Bomboloni! a small little dough stuffed with Pistachio cream, & Chocolate chips were great. Frankly, it wasn't sweet like Affogato. Staffs were friendly, with French expression. lol Overall, loved everything here, certainly recommended.

Went for the frozen coffee ice cream. Unfortunately it was too liquidy. I was disappointed but the staff recommended an affogato which I think was really a good suggestion.
It's a very busy location but service is very fast. I ordered the affogato & it was delicious. The espresso has a very smooth, soft flavour. Paired well with pistachio ice cream. Tiramisu is also very good! My friend ordered an almond croissant. Crispy layers with custard cream inside (I think it's custard?) love it! Reasonable price at a DT cafe shop too!
Oh my! The enjoyment we got from visiting this café is hard to describe. It was on my wishlist, & I expected a great experience, but I had no idea the coffee would be this good. We ordered the latte freddo & pistachio affogato, & tiramisu-all of which were absolutely delicious. The latte freddo had a perfect balance of bitterness & sweetness, & the affogato was a delightful mix of espresso & gelato.
Affogato is a must try! The coffee & treats were delicious. We ended up purchasing their house coffee beans & the barista even offered to grind them for us! A very cute little cafe in Old Montreal. Worth the long line to order!
