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.

I absolutely loved the tiramisu! Not too sweet & just the right portion. If you love coffee, the caffè crema is a must try. Especially in the Montréal heat. This place does tend to get packed & many food items such as the cannoli or sandwiches are limited & sell out.

Now this place makes a amazing Latte. These guys know coffee. Went on a Saturday morning & I was ver surprised to se how busy it was. Small spot we were lined up to the door but unlike other places they kept the line moving super impressed. There were 2 people working & the just kept smiling & pumping out those coffee. The owner should be extremely proud of the people they hired good job. Ill be back. Don't be afraid of the lineup its worth the wait to be honest it was magical watching them run the Latte machine

Affogato is to die for! The remix is too sweet for me. The drinks are pretty good but a little expensive. Service is good, the staff tries really hard to give a great service & be talkative & make jokes but it makes the service a little too slow for me. The place is very small but cozy. The drinks are definitely aesthetically pleasing. It's not a 5/5 because I've had better coffee but it's still a solid 4/5
