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 loved this spot! The staff are super friendly & went out of their way to be helpful. As for the coffee, it's excellent. Very smooth, easy to drink, & high quality. The tiramisu was a highlight too; it tasted incredibly fresh, light, & wasn't overly sweet. Just a heads-up: the space is tiny & gets crowded fast, so it's not the best place for a long sit-down session. I'd recommend grabbing your treats to go & enjoying them on a walk!
Ce café à l'ambiance tamisée est une vraie petite perle. 🍰☕? L'atmosphère est feutrée, chaleureuse, & donne envie de s'attarder longtemps autour d'un espresso ou d'un cappuccino bien mousseux.
Mais le vrai coup de coeur ? Les desserts italiens. 🇮🇹✨ Croissants dorés, biscuits croustillants, gâteaux moelleux & ces douceurs qu'on ne trouve pas partout. Chaque bouchée transporte directement à Rome ou à Naples, avec ce mélange de simplicité & de gourmandise qui fait la magie de la pâtisserie italienne.
Le comptoir déborde de tentations : tiramisu, biscotti, petites douceurs maison… le genre de vitrine où on a envie de tout goûter. 😍 Les prix sont honnêtes, & la qualité rend chaque euro (ou dollar) bien investi.

Kicked off my Montreal cafe adventures with the decadent Hot Chocolate & Tiramisu from here! The barista's warm vibe made it even better 🤩
Can't wait to go back & try their coffee ❤?
From out of town & tiktok suggested to try their remix coffee & some pastries. picked up a large size remix coffee & it was the most yummiest coffee ever. like a liquid tiramisu. also tried their cannoli & that was also delicious!!! Service was great, there was a line but it went fast! Would want them to open in Edmonton!
In my opinion, it's an overrated cafe. I tried their little Nescafé ice cream( tbh I don't remember the exact name, but it was too small for 5$!!! At least it was tasty.
& the tiramisu… frozen… no taste…
I don't recommend this place it doesn't worth the hype.
As a muslim, unaware of the fact tiramisu has alcohol, I ordered it, I haven't asked that gentleman name, but he was so empathetic even in busy environment, so many customers in line, he mentioned very politely it has alcohol, while other items don't have that. You people are really doing awesome service, amazed by the inclusiveness, thanks. Though, I was careful around cafe of Montréal asking about ingredients but I skipped that for first time, thinking about other people waiting behind me & allah saved me from intaking alcohol through that person's favor. I really appreciate it. Another greatness of olimpico is that I got bombolone 3 pieces, I think creme flavor. Subhanallah I must say NOTHING LIKE THAT I CAME ACROSS IN SHAPE OF dessert, SO FULFILLING. In just 2 it filled my stomach, creme was masha'allah fantastic, neither too sour nor like paste, but finely balanced. Advertised about this cafe to my roommates by offering them last one to taste. May allah bless your authenticity & dedication. No honesty will go vain, may allah almighty elevate the name of OLIMPICO. Truly speaking, few hours ago, I never knew it's name & now I'm super delighted alhamdulillah to come across your team & product. Great initiative, from bottom of my heart, I will make supplication to the highest to make it's fame go beyond Starbucks & all. - Sadaf Shahab Custome

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!
