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.

I had high hopes for Cafe Olympica, as the coffee was genuinely good. However, my experience was marred by the staff's attitude. When I inquired about flavor options, the response felt dismissive & somewhat rude, which was disappointing. Additionally, there were no available seats, so I went upstairs thinking there might be more space, only to find it was a separate restaurant. No one informed us about that, which felt frustrating. Overall, the atmosphere wasn't warm or welcoming. I hope my next visit is better! French translation J'avais de grands espoirs pour le Café Olympica, car le café était vraiment bon. Cependant, mon expérience a été ternie par l'attitude du personnel. Lorsque j'ai demandé des options de saveurs, la réponse semblait désinvolte & un peu rude, ce qui était décevant. De plus, il n'y avait pas de places disponibles, donc je suis monté en pensant qu'il y aurait plus de place, mais j'ai découvert que c'était un autre restaurant. Personne ne nous a informés à ce sujet, ce qui était frustrant. Dans l'ensemble, l'atmosphère n'était pas chaleureuse ni accueillante. J'espère que ma prochaine visite sera meilleure !

J'ai gouté leur croissant qui était vraiment bon, meilleur que les autres endroits à Montréal. Si je donne 3 étoiles c'est parce que le prix de 4$ par croissant me semble un peu excessif...

C'est une expérience à ne pas manquer que prendre un café à l'Olimpico du centre-ville, un passage obligé! Outre le café d'une qualité irréprochable & les pâtisseries absolument savoureuses, l'accueil chaleureux & le service impeccables de Justin, Daniele, Lukas & toute l'équipe méritent d'être soulignés. Toujours de bonne humeur & souriants, on repart l'esprit neuf, le café (délicieux) à la main, pour entamer ou poursuivre sa journée de travail. Merci à tous!

DELICIOUS. Worth the hype! The breakfast sandwich was amazing, the cornetti was amazing, the coffee was amazing! Only draw back is that seating is extremely limited, & it seems like they sell out of the pastries kind of fast (choices were limited when we went at 10:30am). Highly recommend though!

Tout simplement parfait, le Mochaccino était excellent, il en est de même pour le « remix ». Une valeur sûre.
