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.

Not a specialty coffee place. Neighbourhood coffee shop sure. Their 3rd wave profile told me they had September Roaster, not a chance.

Coffee was excellent. The servers were friendly snd helpful. Place was extremely busy though & waited in line for 5-10 minutes. The space has a nice atmosphere but is very small so not comfortable for seating especially for groups if more than 2 people. Would recommend the coffee but be aware of potential wait time.

Le café est petit & sombre, c'est pas un endroit pour passer un petit moment entre amis. Le café est délicieux mais comme a beaucoup d'autre endroit à Montréal, les pâtisseries sont bonnes sans plus. Les goûts ne sont pas très fins, juste sucré c'est dommage.
18% de pourvoir minimum dans un cafe sans services & presque sans table moi ça tends ! Je n'y retournerais sûrement pas.
