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.

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

A tight coffee shop with the waiting line folding in on itself. Small quarters & hustle-&-bustle baristas give this place a lively yet cozy feel. Drinks come out fast & delicious, so the wait looks long but in fact goes quick. Pastries are great.

Cute cozy coffee. A little bit too small, so it feels crowded & it's noisy.

Both food & drinks are tasty.
