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.

Amazing baristas! Super friendly & quick service. The americano was good & the prices are on the cheaper side but the sizes are also smaller compared to other cafes. Only a few tables inside but there are also outdoor benches. There is not a lot of plug-ins but still a nice spot to work. Always busy & their pastries run out quickly but there were a few selection of cakes & other dessert!

Best coffee I've had in Montreal hands down. Barista knew how to do a coffee that wasn't on the menu & did it brilliantly.

Love their coffee & the staff, however for some reason when Justin makes the coffee it's phenomenal. No disrespect to the others but his is top notch

C'est vraiment l'un de mes cafés préférés dans TOUT le Canada. Ils ont fait leur gros. Ils n'ont pas de sirops, ce qui est dommage, mais je pense que leurs cafés sont assez bons sans cela. De plus, j'ai eu un affogato là-bas, & c'était tellement crémeux (pas gourmand)

Un café en centre ville de Montréal. Rien de particulier ou de chose hors de commun.

Their specialty cream is really good & a must try. The food & the service is great but the ambient music is too loud for a simple conversation

The food & coffee were excellent! The pistachio biscotti was remarkably good. I sat outside because the music inside was a bit too loud for my liking. Found a nice little courtyard with a fountain behind, so I recommend going there.

A very hip coffee place that makes amazing coffees & offers great Italian pastries & sandwiches. They know they have the cool factor covered as they aren't in a rush to get your order prepared but rather take the time to chat with the people waiting. This can be a bit off putting when in a rush but if you're on vacation or have the time there is probably not much better coffee you'd get in the city.
