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.

First time checking out Café Olimpico's DT location on a busy Friday morning. The inside is cramped but there's a bench outside.

Went with a caffé latte ($4.50) with lait d'avoine ($1.00). Okay but tiny. Latté freddo is better.

the barista's got charm, the kind that fills the room before the smell of coffee does. I ask him how it is. he laughs,'not good.' a joke, maybe. maybe not. he wasn't lying. it's the kind of coffee that tries too hard, like a man in a new suit with nothing to say. bitter, empty, no heart, no art. you drink it because you have to, because the day's too long, because you forgot what real coffee tastes like. it'll wake you up, sure, but it won't make you feel alive.

Wish the coffee was better!
Sadly, the coffee just wasn't good. I was really excited to try it after visiting three different shops during my work trip, but the latte was poorly made. Instead of using a slow, circular pour to incorporate the milk properly, the barista just dumped it in all at once. The result was a very bitter drink. I tried to finish it but ended up having to throw it away. The vibe was nice, but the coffee & the long line just weren't worth it. I'm not sure if they had token their time with the latte it could have been better, but I wouldn't go back. The good thing is there are plenty of other options in the area.
