Café Olimpico is a beloved Montreal staple known for bold espresso, rich tiramisu, and a wide range of Italian pastries, with staff praised for warmth and helpful recommendations; the space is small and often crowded, making takeout the easiest option, though the vibe remains lively and authentic; while the coffee and desserts are consistently praised and some call it the best in town, a few reviews note occasional inconsistency in drinks or portions, limited seating, and a tipping on the machine for takeout without a clear choice for customers; some experiences also reflect the bustling energy and friendly atmosphere that draw locals and visitors alike to this cafe, sometimes accompanied by longer lines but quick service.
I love love love this place! The coffee is so yummy & i adore the size of the cup. Also that tiramisu is incredibly tasty! I am around Montreal for 3 days & i may be come here around 6 times! & the atmosphere of the cafe is so cute. Its pretty petite inside 💕 w wood walls w nostalgic photos on it. & there is a long bench outside that you can sit & enjoy your cafe latte while watching the rue! :) so montreal!
I recently visited Café Olimpico, & I have to say, the experience was fantastic! Justin & Lucas Rota, who work there, made the visit especially memorable. Their warm hospitality & attention to detail really stood out. The coffee was excellent, rich & smooth, just as it should be. I also tried one of their pastries, which was fresh & delicious. The atmosphere is cozy & inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing coffee break or catching up with friends. Overall, Café Olimpico, with the help of Justin & Lucas, offers a top-notch experience. Highly recommend!
Visited Cafe Olimpico while showing my sister around Montreal, & it was a standout experience! The staffLucas, Justin, & Spencer were fantastic. Lucas greeted us warmly & made sure our coffee was perfect. Justin's latte was amazing, & Spencer's friendly vibe made our visit feel extra special. If you're in Montreal, don't miss this gem. The coffee is superb, & the staff make you feel right at home! Oh & the cannoli with the biscottii with the cafe crema is just WOW.... even the word perfection does not do it justice...

One of the best espresso I had. Very smooth. Only two people working on the counter & despite the long line up, they make not only amazing coffee but also quick service. Must go cafe if you are around for quick grab of coffee. Don't be alarmed with the long line up!
"Je viens de déguster un cappuccino au Café Olimpico, & c'était tout simplement divin ! La combinaison parfaite entre l'espresso riche & crémeux & le lait mousseux a créé une harmonie de saveurs que je n'oublierai pas de sitôt. Chaque gorgée était comme une danse délicate sur mon palais. Bravo au talentueux barista qui a préparé ce chef-d'oeuvre caféiné. Vous avez définitivement fait de ma journée une meilleure journée avec ce cappuccino exceptionnel ! ☕👌"
If you enjoy well crafted italian style coffee, you will enjoy café olimpico. If your idea of good coffee is Starbucks, you don't know what you are missing. Try this place to expand your taste.
Amazing baristas! Super friendly & quick service. The americano was good & the prices are on the cheaper side but the sizes are also smaller compared to other cafes. Only a few tables inside but there are also outdoor benches. There is not a lot of plug-ins but still a nice spot to work. Always busy & their pastries run out quickly but there were a few selection of cakes & other dessert!

C'est vraiment l'un de mes cafés préférés dans TOUT le Canada. Ils ont fait leur gros. Ils n'ont pas de sirops, ce qui est dommage, mais je pense que leurs cafés sont assez bons sans cela. De plus, j'ai eu un affogato là-bas, & c'était tellement crémeux (pas gourmand)
During my recent visit to Café Olimpico in downtown Montreal, I had the pleasure of being served by two exceptional coffee makers, Justin & Luca. The experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance of Café Olimpico was warm & inviting, perfectly encapsulating the vibrant spirit of Montreal. However, it was Justin & Luca's expertise & passion for coffee that truly elevated my visit. Moreover, Justin & Luca's friendly & engaging personalities made the experience even more enjoyable. They have a natural ability to make customers feel welcome & valued, turning a simple coffee run into a delightful break from the hustle & bustle of downtown Montreal. Thank you Justin & Luca
Cafe Olimpico is my go-to café when I'm working from the office (& not just because it's on the way to work). Yes, the lines can get long at certain times of day, but the excellent coffee & great service (special credit to Justin & Lucas on that part) make it worth it...not to mention the variety of sweet treats. My order isn't anything exciting, but it's a consistently good cup of coffee.
It's one of the best cafes in downtown Montreal. The Americano & the freddo are crazy good. The sandwiches & pastries are fresh with amazing flavors. The bomboloni are my favorite. & the Nutella horn is also delicious, to lift your spirits :) The staff is always very nice & attentive. They're very friendly & funny. The young guys who are there on weekdays, Justin & Luca, are the best! The place is not very big. But there is a square next to it which is perfect for an iced coffee in the sun. & nearby is also the Phillips Square, which is also ideal to enjoy your pastries. 100% recommended. I always take my family & friends with me when we are downtown.
