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.

Depuis 2 ans, je me rends au café Olympico chaque fois que je travaille en présentiel! Les barista savent exactement comment préparer mon café latte comme je l'aime! Un vrai délice qui débute bien ma journée! Le service est excellent & personnalisé. Le local est chaleureux & me fait penser aux bars jazz new-Yorkais. Je recommande sans hésiter!

Very authentic Italian Coffee shop with amazing pastries. Justin & Nelson are great at what they do & will be sure to leave you with a smile on your face. The Pistachio Croissant was the best I have ever had & they gave us a complimentary taste of their signature espresso ice cream treat.

We had a lovely stop into Cafe Olimpico & were welcomed with open arms by the master barista, Justin. It was wildly impressive to watch him engage with every single customer, flawlessly make drinks, & enjoy every second of it. He made our morning in Montreal & we hope to make it back someday.
