Review Summary

Café Olimpico is widely celebrated as a Montreal staple, recognized for its authentic Italian-style espresso, delicious signature coffee drinks like the Remix and Café Crema, and high-quality pastries such as cannoli and tiramisu. While the atmosphere is consistently described as vibrant, cozy, and reminiscent of a classic European cafe, the spaces are notably small, leading to frequent lineups and limited indoor seating. Despite the busy environment, the staff is frequently praised for being exceptionally fast, friendly, and welcoming, making the overall experience highly recommended for those seeking a quality coffee break in the heart of the city.

Quelle belle découverte au centre-ville. J'ai adoré mon passage ici. L'ambiance est vraiment chaleureuse & authentique.

J'ai craqué pour leur affogato, servi avec une petite cuillère en bois très pratique. C'était tout simplement délicieux. Je recommande sans hésiter pour une pause café réussie.

Tasty & good value for the quality. The coffee is fresh & tasty. I liked the pistachio affogato. We tried all their affogatos, as they are arguably the most popular on their menu. However, for me, the pistachio taste was a bit better.
They usually have 3 different gelatos on their gato.
The menu has espresso, which is pretty valuable; it's a good price if you are in the area & need a boost.
There are sometimes small lines, but it is fast.
About the seating area, check out the public space on the right side of the building. You can take your order there after the cafe & enjoy it in the open space.

Went back twice to get the remix when visiting Montreal few weeks ago. Hella good 😔💗 Coffee was still strong balanced with sweetness. Also got their tiramisu & cannoli to go & shared with fam, it was bomb. They have my full support if they plan to open in Vancouver LOL
