High coffee quality, this location is small with about 4-5 tables, so be prepared to wait abit for a free table to seat down.

Absolutely love the coffee from this place. This is the best place in Montréal to get a good cup of coffee, espresso & some little treats. The place is small, not much seating at all. Best to be prepared to wait in line as there is always people. But the service is quick & friendly

Café Olimpico in downtown Montreal was okay. The coffee was good & had that classic Italian café style, but overall the experience didn't really stand out to me. The location is convenient & it's worth trying if you're already in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
