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.

One of the best espresso I had. Very smooth. Only two people working on the counter & despite the long line up, they make not only amazing coffee but also quick service. Must go cafe if you are around for quick grab of coffee. Don't be alarmed with the long line up!

great coffee & beignets. one of my favorite spots in the city. the pear & almond cake is a refreshing surprise that you won't get many places. it's super light & not too sweet. the coffee here is amazing. never over roasted & always super smooth. iced americano with a dash of milk gets me every time. staff are super friendly & it's hard to catch this place when it's not packed.

"Je viens de déguster un cappuccino au Café Olimpico, & c'était tout simplement divin ! La combinaison parfaite entre l'espresso riche & crémeux & le lait mousseux a créé une harmonie de saveurs que je n'oublierai pas de sitôt. Chaque gorgée était comme une danse délicate sur mon palais. Bravo au talentueux barista qui a préparé ce chef-d'oeuvre caféiné. Vous avez définitivement fait de ma journée une meilleure journée avec ce cappuccino exceptionnel ! ☕👌"
