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.
Super bon café ☕? & tsiramisu ! Placé en plein centre ville, je valide ! 😇 accueil sympathique & l'attente passe vite ! Il a des bancs à l'extérieur pour l'été ☀?
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.
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...
This coffee shop has something extra to it that goes a little above & beyond what's expected. The service is warm & attention to detail in making your coffee is refreshing. The food has the regular types of things you find in most coffee shops but also a few extra things. Easy & comforting!
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.

Un très bon moment au café Olimpico! Nous avons pris un Mochaccino & un café latte au lait d'avoine, la présentation était super & les boissons étaient vraiment très bonnes ! Juste un peu dommage qu'il n'y ait pas plus de places assises. Je conseille fortement d'aller y faire un tour !
Pretty decent breakfast place. I enjoyed my latte & my croissant. It was pretty packed when I went but pretty lucky to get a table. It's overall a pretty small place but the coffee is quite good!
