Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Café Olimpico as a beloved, authentically Italian coffee spot with a warm, buzzy vibe and a strong focus on high quality pastries and espresso drinks. The space is small and often crowded, with limited seating which makes takeout or arriving early the practical choice. The drinks receive frequent praise—caffè crema, cortado, latte freddo, and rich espressos—while pastries like tiramisu, pistachio croissant, cannoli, and other Italian sweets are repeatedly highlighted as standout. The staff are repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming, and engaging, contributing to a hospitable atmosphere even during busy times. Some reviews note the compact, sometimes noisy interior and long lines, but also emphasize the lively ambiance and the sense of getting a taste of Italy in Montreal. Occasional criticisms include a few experiences with inconsistent service or a suboptimal latte on a busy day, but the overall impression remains that Café Olimpico is a Montreal staple worth visiting for the coffee, desserts, and vibrant vibe.

Really wanted to like this spot. Lovely cozy ambiance, chill music. Service was meh. Flat white was...flat. Just does not compare eg to Myriade. & the croissant, small & also...flat! Not what I expect from Montreal or from the much hyped Olimpico. Maybe it was an off morning. Ambiance is 5 star...food needs to catch up.
