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.
I recently visited Olimpico with my family, including an elderly woman, & we were absolutely blown away by the service. From the moment we walked in, the staff were so kind, attentive, & welcoming. They went above & beyond to make sure we were comfortable & well taken care of.
The employees were warm & friendly, treating us like family & making the entire experience feel special. It's rare to find such genuine hospitality these days, but Olimpico truly stands out. The atmosphere was inviting, the service was wonderful, & we left with big smiles on our faces.
Thank you to the amazing team at Olimpico for making our visit so memorable - we'll definitely be coming back!
Olimpico Café has become a regular stop for us every time we visit Montreal - & for good reason. The interior decor perfectly matches the charm & character of Old Montreal, creating a warm & stylish atmosphere that invites you to linger.
There's usually a long line, which speaks to the café's popularity, but it moves quickly thanks to the staff, who are both friendly & impressively efficient. The service is consistently smooth, & the coffee is worth the wait - rich, bold, & expertly made.
We've been back a few times & always enjoy our visit. It's a nice spot to grab a coffee & soak in a bit of the Old Montreal vibe. If you have a chance, make sure to grab one of the open window seats in the summer to soak in the atmosphere!

Stopped by Cafe Olimpico for a coffee & work. As a tourist & first time at the Cafe, I asked what to order & was guided with friendly & welcoming service. David made the most delicious cappuccino I've ever tasted & the service that came along with it made it all that much better! Highly recommend stopping by Cafe Olimpico especially if David is there to make your coffee!
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.

Joli café avec une deco originale. Le café est de bonne qualité. Nous étions en pleine période de rush aussi l'attente a été un peu longue & le service a donné un goût de « à la chaîne ». Après encore une fois on était en période de rush. À refaire lors d'une période plus calme sûrement ! Les macarons à l'amande sont délicieux ✨
One of those places where you finally make it to the front of line, you just get it. Having tried their espresso I can confidently say it is one of the best in Canada.
I was genuinely blown away by the richness & exquisiteness of the roast & extraction 😍 & the vibe is just so cosy & quintessentially old port.
Cafe Olimpico occupies a prime spot right in the middle of the Old Port, making it an easy & appealing stop when exploring the area. Critically, the coffee here is excellent. It's genuinely high-quality & worth seeking out for the taste alone.
However, our visit tonight was unfortunately dampened by a surprising & unwelcoming interaction with the barista. While this spot is usually packed, we stopped by on a Tuesday evening around 7 PM & were the only customers there. We observed that the barista was actively engaged in a conversation with someone who appeared to be an acquaintance rather than a customer placing an order. When came time for my wife to order coffee, she asked a couple of standard questions about the menu, the barista was quite curt & unwelcoming.
This focus on a personal conversation, even with no other patrons waiting, made the abruptness harder to understand. Great coffee is a powerful draw, & we hope this was an isolated incident.
Currently, our experience at Cafe Olimpico was a disappointing mix of exceptional product & a surprisingly cold reception.
Food & service was great but you have to remember its a tiny space, lots of customers, super long line & waited a good 20+ minutes in line just for 2 coffees. Patience is a virtue at any location I've noticed.
This café served delicious coffee, cake, & cookies, & the manager was especially friendly & tidy. Despite the long line, they were warm & kind to the children. It's definitely a place I'd love to visit again while I'm in Montreal.
