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.

Great coffee, same quality as Mile End. But I have to put two stars because of how they've done the set up inside. There are way too many tables for the 200square feet they have, it makes waiting in line nearly impossible & very uncomfortable (as much for the people sitting down as for the people standing up). Everyone is squeezed to the brim the moment there are more than 5 people in line, let alone when there are 10 people. It just seems like there was no thought process in the amount of furniture they've squeezed in.
