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.

I live in the area & go to eaton all the time & never realized there was a cafe olimpico there. I used to go to the one in the mile end. The service is super friendly & the cappuccino was amazing.

I visited the downtown location on a busy Saturday for an afternoon coffee & cake with my family & were served by Justin. We had a very good time & good service. We usually get great service from all of the staff - big shoutout to Daniele - & are always happy to stop by for a coffee.

Been going for some time now, terrific coffee & food. The nutella horns in particular are a favourite, & the coffee is arguably the best in the city. Always well taken care of by Justin too, big shout out to the team there.

Amazing bombolones! I was craving GOOD donuts & ended up receiving just what I like - not too sweet, full of cream, & fresh. I got the pistachio & ricotta donuts :) The (pistachio?) cookie was also great! Hopefully, my friends back home like their share too :) Super kind & welcoming service (I'm sorry I didn't get your name! but all I know is you were an Anglophone). Would definitely visit again! Thank you for making my last day in Montreal!

This coffee shop welcomed us, three groomsmen, who have been up since the crack of dawn, shwasted on every ounce of poison on this (hopefully) undying green earth. The party bus stopped, the doors hissed open. & at the door were JUSTIN & SPENCER welcomed us with good cheer. Their spirit brought ours back up from the slums of borderline alcoholism. Three perfectly chilled, remixes were served. Not only did we leave with Montreals best coffees, but we left with with our hearts pumping of caffein & JUSTIN & SPENCERS' spirit. Much love, from the three groomsmen who came in on a rainy saturday afternoon.
