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.

Simply the best place for coffee & sweets in town. No recommendations on the food though, couldn't decide even if I wanted to, you'll have to try it all!

Employee was very rude & impatient when we were ordering. Not many food options to choose from, we wanted to order croissants & they told us just order whatever they can give. Not a very good first-time experience as tourists

Un très bon moment au café Olimpico! Nous avons pris un Mochaccino & un café latte au lait d'avoine, la présentation était super & les boissons étaient vraiment très bonnes ! Juste un peu dommage qu'il n'y ait pas plus de places assises. Je conseille fortement d'aller y faire un tour !

You know the coffee is going to be amazing when the barista refuses to serve the first batch of espresso they made because it wasn't up to their standard, & then remakes the coffee. Probably the best coffee I have had in the city, I only wish the place was a little bigger.

This cafe in city center is rather small. Maybe around 8 seats only. Most people would just take away their coffee & snack. The Nutella cookie is amazing. The coffee is great. I really like it here.
