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.

We had an excellent experience at this coffee shop - the espresso was rich, smooth, & expertly made, & the overall coffee quality was top-notch. The staff were professional & the atmosphere was welcoming within the café itself.

Unfortunately, outside of this space, our experience in Montreal was overshadowed by instances of racism, which deeply impacted our overall impression of the city. While the coffee shop offered a brief & much-needed positive moment, the broader social climate left us feeling disappointed & disheartened.

Great coffee, but a tough visit overall.

Solid spot for coffee near downtown Montreal - I wish I did buy some of their beans so that I could brew at home.

Their coffee is very neutral, not too sharp, tart, or fruity, but not too tobacco or cereal either. Their coffee closest resembles that of Arabica, so if you like that style, you will enjoy this.

There's almost always a line here as well, so be prepared to wait to order & wait for your drink. All that means is they're doing something right!

Kicked off my Montreal cafe adventures with the decadent Hot Chocolate & Tiramisu from here! The barista's warm vibe made it even better 🤩
Can't wait to go back & try their coffee ❤?
