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.
The first thing that impressed me was just how kind they are! They made sure the hot chocolates that they made for my boys weren't too hot & took the time to talk to my 7 year old. They shook hands with some other customers leaving. A great vibe & the coffee & cookies were great too.
I am a coffee snob. I have had coffee/espresso all over Italy, France, Spain, Colombia, Turkey, etc. We even did a coffee tour in Colombia, Armenia region, where the finest beans are grown. I have not had coffee/espresso as amazing as I had at Olimpico. The espresso OMG! It is smooth, silky, with the right amount of crema. I wish I lived next door to Olimpico. Absolutely amazing!
Probably the best cappuccino & or any Italian coffee in MTL. Only downside is that it's so so popular, there is a huge line, & difficult to find a place to sit inside.
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!
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, vanilla & 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. We waited for around 30 minutes, with the line extending to the Le Cartel shop next door, but it was totally worth it.
The atmosphere, location, & ambience of this place really makes you happy when you enter. & then you get to experience their absolutely mouth watering food. We tried their Tiramisu (the best I have ever had), Heavenly Taste, Biscotti, Bombodini, coffee, & hot chocolate. All of which was excellent!
I love this place it's my favourite coffee shop in old Montreal but today I got very disappointed. I purchased a small "remix" coffee & a small mortadella sandwich & it costs me $22 without tips. Prices have gotten Very expensive!
