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 never write google reviews but Justin was so great that I just had to. His positive energy was so uplifting & I will definitely be coming back to visit him. He also has sick tattoos. Slayyyy Justin!

It was my "Go to" coffee when I visited Montréal: The cappuccino is amazing & the pistachio cornetti is a must as well! The service is very nice & I've also bought home some coffee beans & a pannetone for the Holidays. I'll come back to this place often in my next trip to Montréal I'm quite sure.

The coffee tastes good however it's never hot inspite of asking extra hot they serve warm coffee.. please upgrade your equipment if that's the issue.

Great service, great coffee, best place to go for a coffee downtown (also in the Mile-End at their original location)

High coffee quality, this location is small with about 4-5 tables, so be prepared to wait abit for a free table to seat down.
