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.

Now this place makes a amazing Latte. These guys know coffee. Went on a Saturday morning & I was ver surprised to se how busy it was. Small spot we were lined up to the door but unlike other places they kept the line moving super impressed. There were 2 people working & the just kept smiling & pumping out those coffee. The owner should be extremely proud of the people they hired good job. Ill be back. Don't be afraid of the lineup its worth the wait to be honest it was magical watching them run the Latte machine

Honestly one of the few places left that feels like a real cafe rather than a generic chain. The staff works incredibly hard & they handle the rush with a lot of skill. I usually grab a latte & a snack & find a spot to sit & relax for a bit. Prices are reasonable considering the location & the quality is far better than most other options nearby. I will definitely keep coming back whenever I am in the area.

Olimpico has become a true staple in my daily routine. The staff are always friendly & inviting & the atmosphere lively & dynamic. Justin in particular brings such a light to getting coffee everyday. He's gregarious & charming, is always up for a chat- & makes a delicious iced latte to boot. Olimpico will always be a favourite of mine.

Small, cramped place. Foe 3 mornings, I sat here with croissant & latte for an hour or so waiting for my family to wake up.

Opens before others. Barrista is friendly, experienced, fast. I felt welcome to sit & read or chat.

Not many seats though!

The downtown location is hand down THE best location of all Olympicos. Yes, it's just as chaotic & busy, though you gotta give it to the staff. Justin & his team create such a beautiful community vibe 🙌 It's their warm energy, attention to detail, & integrity that converts people - like myself & countless others - into regulars. Grateful we have this spot as our'Cheers'.

To the staff: huge thank you for the delicious coffee & good times every time 🫶
