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 came here twice during my visit & loved everything I tried! My favourites were the pistachio affogato & the ricotta bombalone. The barista was friendly & helpful as well 😊

Le café & le service sont exceptionnels. La salle à manger est petite mais le détour vaut le coup. Les pâtisseries sont délicieuses. J'adore l'ambiance cosmopolitaine de ce café & l'accueil des employés.

Le barista, un vrai barista à l'italienne comme le capuccino. Sans parler de l'amareto.
