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.

Got a small cup of the caffe crema. Didn't expect small to be minuscule. The barista wasn't warm & welcoming. 10 bucks for two of these.. nah I think I'll pass

Its a very small & narrow place. There was a lineup inside & out but the staff was amazing & it went fast. Cannelloni & nutella pastry were delicious. Café Fredo was so yummy.

I have been coming to this spot for years & it never fails to deliver a perfect espresso every single time. The atmosphere is always lively & it really feels like a piece of old school Montreal right in the heart of the city. The service is efficient even when it is packed & the outdoor seating is great for people watching on a sunny afternoon. Definitely a must visit if you appreciate authentic coffee culture.

This place is a true institution. You come here for the vibe & the history more than anything else. It is not fancy & does not try to be which is exactly why I like it so much. The coffee is consistently strong & it is the ideal spot to start your day before heading into the office. I recommend grabbing a seat outside if the weather allows because the energy on the street is always fantastic.

Stopped by this cafe while walking through downtown & was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the drinks. It has a very cool aesthetic that feels both modern & traditional at the same time. The staff seems to know what they are doing & they are very quick with orders despite the steady flow of customers. It is a bit loud inside so maybe not the best place for a quiet meeting but perfect for a quick break.

Honestly one of the few places left that feels like a real cafe rather than a generic chain. The staff works incredibly hard & they handle the rush with a lot of skill. I usually grab a latte & a snack & find a spot to sit & relax for a bit. Prices are reasonable considering the location & the quality is far better than most other options nearby. I will definitely keep coming back whenever I am in the area.
