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.

Best way to start the day with an excellent latte. I come here everyday, sometimes 3 times. Justin is awesome, & always happy to help brighten the morning!

I've been a customer for few months now & I always received an excellent service.
This is thanks to JUSTIN, the barista that will take care of you if you get the chance to step into the Cafè during his working shift.
I really enjoyed the cappuccino he prepares & the conversations we keep having together make my experience just much better.
I didn't have to think twice to bring my brother & friend from Italy at cafe Olimpico, not just because of the quality of the cafe, but also for the care we receive from Justin.

The music is great & it's packed with people. The coffee & tiramisu are both good, but the portions are small-you'll have to take them to go.

I love this place. The vibe is great but most importantly the coffee & food is exceptional. I saw Justin this morning who was working today at the Robert Bourassa shop. He always has a smile on his face & generally wants to know how you are doing. So pleasant & do I have to tell you that the coffee is out of this world!! Thank you Justin for making my mornings so pleasant & thank you Cafe Olympico. This is truly a gem of a place here in Montreal. Esther :-)
