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!
I was going through a bad break up this morning & life was looking super down. But then I met Justin who made my morning ! He was super sweeet & gave me the best drink recommendations ! Way to go Justin ! Thanks

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.
