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.

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!

One of the best coffee shops in the City. Food tastes amazing as well. Staff is friendly & nice to interact with. They close at 9pm all week long which makes it a great hangout spot in the evening.

Super nice cute & tiny coffee shop. The lighting creates the perfect old fashion style. Coffee is light but flavourful.

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)
