Review Summary

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.

A very hip coffee place that makes amazing coffees & offers great Italian pastries & sandwiches. They know they have the cool factor covered as they aren't in a rush to get your order prepared but rather take the time to chat with the people waiting. This can be a bit off putting when in a rush but if you're on vacation or have the time there is probably not much better coffee you'd get in the city.

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.

Not only does Cafe Olimpico serve great coffee, they also have the best cheesecakes! They have great pastries too.

Great coffee, as expected. Pastries are good. Friendly & professional service . The only negative thing about this location is its size. It's tiny. You probably won't find a table, so you can stay at the bar, but it's not a huge problem.

I would give more stars if I could.. My favourite coffee shop to grab a delicious treat & coffee. Whether you're a regular or first time visitor you're sure to be greeted with warmth & hospitality that makes you feel right at home. & if you have the pleasure of being served by Justin, consider yourself in for a treat his passion for coffee & dedication to customer satisfaction truly shine through in every cup, & he always makes a point to remember your go to order! Plain Jane cappuccino for me ☕️ (& of course you can't go wrong with ANY of the pastries they have)
