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.
such a cute little place tucked away. The barista was so nice & my coffee was perfect & not overpriced! Great place if you're looking for a good coffee & good vibes!
I had high hopes for Cafe Olympica, as the coffee was genuinely good. However, my experience was marred by the staff's attitude. When I inquired about flavor options, the response felt dismissive & somewhat rude, which was disappointing. Additionally, there were no available seats, so I went upstairs thinking there might be more space, only to find it was a separate restaurant. No one informed us about that, which felt frustrating. Overall, the atmosphere wasn't warm or welcoming. I hope my next visit is better! French translation J'avais de grands espoirs pour le Café Olympica, car le café était vraiment bon. Cependant, mon expérience a été ternie par l'attitude du personnel. Lorsque j'ai demandé des options de saveurs, la réponse semblait désinvolte & un peu rude, ce qui était décevant. De plus, il n'y avait pas de places disponibles, donc je suis monté en pensant qu'il y aurait plus de place, mais j'ai découvert que c'était un autre restaurant. Personne ne nous a informés à ce sujet, ce qui était frustrant. Dans l'ensemble, l'atmosphère n'était pas chaleureuse ni accueillante. J'espère que ma prochaine visite sera meilleure !
DELICIOUS. Worth the hype! The breakfast sandwich was amazing, the cornetti was amazing, the coffee was amazing! Only draw back is that seating is extremely limited, & it seems like they sell out of the pastries kind of fast (choices were limited when we went at 10:30am). Highly recommend though!
Loved the bottled ice coffee slushi & friendly staff. Great value. This one has less baked goods than other café Olimpicos we went to on our trip but still good for a break.
This location is quite small. Just two tables inside close to the bar & then a bench outside. Much more of a grab & go spot. Vibe is meh. Some staff don't care & other is attentive. Prices are a bit unequal for what you get. I got the decaf iced latte, Nutella biscuit, & a pistachio chocolate chip cookie. The coffee was a bit heavier & darker roast which was good with the sweet of oat milk. The cookies were OK.
Spectacular coffee, cozy atmosphere, & excellent service! Hands down my favourite spot in the city, the experience is always a guaranteed mood booster. Justin & Spence are the best to ever do it. I recommend the mochaccino.
Trying out different places while visiting Montreal, & prefer the taste of the coffee here over Pikolo & Tim Hortons. The almond pastry was soft inside & sweet, the way it should be, even on this cold morning.
This coffee shop is truly amazing, with a very beautiful & warm atmosphere. I absolutely loved the coffee-it really stood out. I strongly recommend this place to everyone who appreciates a great cup of coffee in a delightful setting. Don't miss out on this gem! 😍😍😍
