Le Café Olimpico du Vieux-Montréal est largement salué comme un endroit italien bien aimé, avec un café riche et soyeux et une impressionnante sélection de pâtisseries dont tiramisu, cannoli, bomboloni et croissants pistache; l'intérieur chaleureux et le personnel accueillant créent une ambiance de cafe européen qui attire locaux et visiteurs, même lorsque l'espace est petit et que les files d'attente peuvent être longues; les clients soulignent des incontournables comme l'affogato, le cortado, le cappuccino et la glace, ainsi que des services généreux et parfois des accommodements attentifs pour les options sans gluten; l'esprit général est que cet endroit est une visite incontournable pour des saveurs authentiques, une atmosphère conviviale et un fort sens de la culture des cafes de Montréal.
If you're looking for an authentic coffee experience in Montreal, this is the place to be! I tried the Remix & Cafe Crema, & both were absolutely delicious. The staff were exceptionally friendly. Two of them-whose names I unfortunately forgot-were especially kind & even surprised me with free chocolate! I would definitely go back.

I had an extremely upsetting & disappointing experience at Café Olimpico in Montreal. At first, everything was going well-I was joking around with the cashier while paying, & we were having a good time. But then another staff member, a tall, blonde, tattooed guy working behind the barista counter, completely ruined the mood with his rude & racist behavior.
When I politely asked if my iced latte had been mixed, he snapped,'It's your job to do that.' I calmly told him he could speak more respectfully to clients, & instead of responding professionally, he mocked me by repeatedly saying'habibi, habibi' in a sarcastic & condescending tone-clearly targeting me for being Arab.
When I asked for his name (at least five times), he refused to give it. Instead, he stepped out from behind the counter & tried to intimidate me, as if hoping I would react so he could shift the blame onto me. I didn't respond to his provocation, but the whole situation left me feeling humiliated & unsafe.
This type of behavior is completely unacceptable. No customer should ever face racism or intimidation-especially not in a diverse city like Montreal. I sincerely hope Café Olimpico takes this seriously & enforces proper training & accountability.
Great place to have coffee in Old Montreal area coz the interiors blended well with the overall feel of the area. The cafe is also intertwined with Hotel William Gray & Vetement Le Cartel.
I got the flat white, tiramisu & for take home- their beans & coffee-scented candle. The coffee was really good-full bodied, rich & strong. Tiramisu could be better though since I couldn't really taste the mascarpone.
If at once you enter the cafe from St. Vincent & it seems full, just go round past Le Cartel, you'll see more seating shared by hotel guests of William Gray.
Le café Olimpico reste un incontournable. Cependant, il manque cruellement de places assises, vu la popularité de cet emplacement. Consommer sur place reste la meilleure manière d'aller chez Olimpico.
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.

Always a great experience when I'm in Montreal, & unlike most cafes in Montreal, they are both open, & actually have their complete aray of pastries on hand, until they close @11 pm 👏!
Super café, le droit est bien placer dans le vieux Montréal donc idéal pour une petite pause! Le personnel est top & la carte est plutôt complète! En revanche le seul reproche que je peut faire c'est qu'il n'y a pas assez d'espace puisque le café donne accès directe à un magasin très connu donc beaucoup de personne passe par là & ça peu vite devenir gênant… donc je recommande mais pas en haute saison(surtout l'été)
Found this place while exploring Old Montreal. A charming little Italian café with excellent coffee & a warm ambiance. They only have half a dozen tables, but there was seating available at 10am. Would recommend the café latte & pistachio bomboloni.
Très bon chocolat chaud, les heavenly sont super bon ! Le barista aux cheveux orange qui c'est occupé de notre commande est très gentil & professionnel, il nous a même donné des conseils pour visiter Montréal ! Je recommande fortement ce café :)
Je viens de découvrir ce café dans le vieux port & il est super cute! J'adore l'ambiance & le staff est very nice. J'ai pris un cortado qui était excellent!! Je recommande cet endroit, situé dans un quartier super chouette en plus.
Just went to the Olimpico cafe in old port & the coffee was amazing!! They have a lot of snack options so I got myself a little pistachio croissant ✨ Léo was the barista that served me & his coffe was perfectly done, coming from someone that drinks coffee every day. You might have to wait a couple minutes but it's definetly worth it! The atmosphere is warm & you have a couple tables to seat if you want to.
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.
