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.

I laugh when I see a line for this cafe. Please know where to get your coffee. Their are a lot of unclean scenarios going on. Your money deserves to be given to somewhere with taste, & believe me, even McDonald's offer more than any Olimpico location.

Really disappointing visit. Le café était à peine chaud & manquait vraiment de goût, so it definitely didn't feel worth the price.
What stood out the most was the service. Le personnel semblait bête & pas du tout intéressé, comme s'ils voulaient simplement passer les commandes le plus vite possible. Aucun effort pour expliquer le menu, répondre aux questions ou recommander quelque chose si tu hésitais.

Honnêtement, je ne comprends pas pourquoi cet endroit a autant de bonnes reviews sur Google. Je n'y retournerai pas.

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.
