Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Café Olimpico as a beloved, authentically Italian coffee spot with a warm, buzzy vibe and a strong focus on high quality pastries and espresso drinks. The space is small and often crowded, with limited seating which makes takeout or arriving early the practical choice. The drinks receive frequent praise—caffè crema, cortado, latte freddo, and rich espressos—while pastries like tiramisu, pistachio croissant, cannoli, and other Italian sweets are repeatedly highlighted as standout. The staff are repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming, and engaging, contributing to a hospitable atmosphere even during busy times. Some reviews note the compact, sometimes noisy interior and long lines, but also emphasize the lively ambiance and the sense of getting a taste of Italy in Montreal. Occasional criticisms include a few experiences with inconsistent service or a suboptimal latte on a busy day, but the overall impression remains that Café Olimpico is a Montreal staple worth visiting for the coffee, desserts, and vibrant vibe.

De délicieux cafés & de bons biscuits dans une ambiance aux accents italiens assumés & bien choisis. Bonne musique, même si peut-être un peu trop forte en fonction de la table choisie. Une visite à ne pas manquer à Montréal !

Highly overrated based on my experience. A small space that is inviting & warm. Great selection of pasties & sandwiches. Has potential but my first macchiatos were lukewarm & tasteless; prepared far too quickly without any care. Unfortunately for the owner, some of the staff have terrible attitude which reflects poorly on the cafe experience - yet the other barista was excellent & pulls a better shot.
