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.
Highly recommended for coffee lovers like us. I loved the crema cafe & my husband enjoyed remix cafe. We stayed in MTL 2 days & we visited this location everyday religiously for breakfast & dinner. The tiramisu & pistachios donuts were outstanding. Over all such a great experience & the staff are very friendly.
We will definitely come back again during our next visit.

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!
A very small & very busy cafe … However the service is very fast. I got latte, Tiramisu & the chocolate bar. Latte was good. Tiramisu was amazing ! It melts in your mouth. Chocolate bar was WOW ! I didn't see it coming ! It was a white chocolate with pistachio it was really good ! I will definitely gonna visit this place once I come back to Montreal !
Got the cafe crema, tiramisu & cannoli. Gotta say that they were even better than in Italy. Everything was better than excellent.
The only negative point is that the place is small & usually full of people so it's a to-go order 100% of the times.
Highly recommended.
Absolutely adored this cafe! My partner & I had the double espresso, mocha & tiramisu. Best we've ever had! The coffee was rich & smooth. The place was packed at 10 pm so we hit up the bar. We can't wait to come back on our next trip to Montreal. Thank you for helping us end off the night with coffee & dessert! We were lovers in paradise pumped for our next stop on our road trip :)

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!
Café Olimpico is widely recommended as one of Montreal's classic Italian coffee spots, & we stopped by this Vieux-Montréal location for a short coffee break earlier in the spring. It absolutely lived up to its reputation.
I loved the vibe & ambience of the café-lively yet relaxed, with the Italian café energy that makes you want to linger a little longer.We had Macchiato & Cortado, they were very good. & the tiramisu was delicious, rich without being overly heavy. The cafe is quite small tho, with limited seating, & it connected to a clothing shop & to a hotel, the lineup was huge but moving fast.
Moments like this really remind you that Quebec is a hidden gem for coffee lovers, with so many great cafés worth discovering. ☕?🇮🇹
To be honest, I thought I was crazy when I took a sip of this coffee & thought'really? This is what people say is the best coffee in Montreal?' Everyone else in the cafe was exclaiming how wonderful it was. The espresso is a bold Italian roast that leans heavily towards burnt & bitter, with an ascorbic aftertaste. I would choose all antonyms of smooth to describe the mouth feel. Sadly the pastries didn't look too much better. Sad squished crossiants & soggy doughnuts did not tempt me enough to purchase them. Although the cannoli & tiramisu looked delicious!
The edible aspects of Cafe Olympico left much to be desired, but the staff were great! Kind, funny, patient with tourists, & generous with their welcoming attitude. It's a funky cafe with classic charm & an infectious energy of welcome that would keep folks coming back.
Overall, the coffee wasn't that great, the food sub-par, but that atmosphere was delightful & the staff were fantastic.

Café latté avec beaucoup de goût de lait mais le goût de café est trop subtil.. De plus la quantité est bien plus petite par rapport à d'autres café. Tiramisu est correct mais sans plus.
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.
The place is so wonderful, we ordered chocolate tiramisu & it was so soft & delicious. Do not miss this cafe for wonderful desserts. The atmosphere was too good at 11 in the night!
One of the best coffee shop in Montréal! Even if it's small, it feels very welcoming, & the staff is always nice & smiling! Their cappuccino is delicious, & please try their tiramisu, it's the best in town ! Over the summer, they also offer a delectable ice cream (coffe crema)!
