Café Olimpico

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 !

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 !
