Café Olimpico est largement reconnu comme une institution montréalaise, appréciée pour son espresso authentique de style italien, ses boissons signature comme le Remix et le Café Crema, ainsi que ses pâtisseries de qualité tels que les cannoli et le tiramisu. Bien que l'atmosphère soit régulièrement décrite comme dynamique, chaleureuse et rappelant les cafés européens classiques, les espaces sont particulièrement exigus, ce qui entraîne fréquemment des files d'attente et une capacité assise limitée. Malgré l'affluence, le personnel est souvent salué pour son efficacité exceptionnelle, sa gentillesse et son accueil, faisant de cet établissement une destination hautement recommandée pour quiconque recherche un café de qualité au centre-ville.
C'est mon spot préféré, avec les meilleurs baristas de Montréal. 🤍 Par contre, en ce moment, il fait tellement chaud à l'intérieur que je ne peux même pas profiter pleinement de mon café.
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

Loved this place! I was scimming through Google looking for a local coffee spot near our hotel when I found this place. It was a few blocks away & worth the trip! I made sure to get a few things for the road as we were checking out later that day. The interior has only a few seats but outside around the corner is a covered area we stood while it rained enjoying our coffees & pasties. The barista is exceptional & really does a great job.
I stopped by this café during a rainstorm hoping to get a drink & sit inside. Unfortunately, the customer service was some of the worst I've experienced.
The seating area was full & I noticed a staircase leading upstairs, so I waited at the counter to ask whether there was additional seating. The barista was busy making drinks, so I waited patiently. But after standing there for several minutes without any acknowledgment whatsoever, I simply said'Hi.'
He immediately replied'Wait for your turn. I'm serving 4 people before you.' Mind you, I was the only person standing at the counter. There was no greeting & no basic courtesy. When he finally decided to address me, I asked if there were more seats upstairs. He said'What you see is what you get.' His attitude was so dismissive & rude, I was shocked that this is the standards Olimpico Cafe has for their staff.
If this is the level of customer service this café considers acceptable, I won't be returning ever again.
A tight coffee shop with the waiting line folding in on itself. Small quarters & hustle-&-bustle baristas give this place a lively yet cozy feel. Drinks come out fast & delicious, so the wait looks long but in fact goes quick. Pastries are great.
I didn't like the experience at all ! The place is so small that I had my coffee near the trash can! The service is horrible as well ! The barista was kind but the person who took my order was rude! Absolutely not worth it
Best coffee in Montreal among all the cafes i tried. Would even venture it is the best cuppa joe i've had outside of the weasel coffee in Vietnam.
Cafe Olimpico's coffee was robust, with a strong nutty flavour, & woke me right up from my fatigue after an hour of walking around the neighbourhood.
Seemingly never-ending queues of people going for a cuppa so there doesnt seem to be a good time. But queue moved very quickly despite just two baristas manning the fort, so it was inpressive.
ALWAYS ASK FOR RECEIPT!!! 18% TIPS AUTOMATICALLY ADDED FOR TAKEOUT ORDERS.
Updated on April 12, 2026 to respond to the owners's reply:
We invite the owners to take a look at the cashier camera on April 02, 2026 shift to see how your cashier works on the tap machine. We have invoices as proofs.
So instead of inviting customers to provide more details to double check & review internal process for improvements, the owners simply just conclude that'this is not accurate'.
Given their responses, we conclude that this tipping practice was tolerated & that we will NEVER come back.
An excellent coffee cannot win us over a terrible customer service because adding automatic 18% tipping for takeout orders (without giving customers a choice) is stealing customers' money, simply put.

ALWAYS ASK FOR RECEIPT!!! The cashier automatically charges 18% tips on take-out orders without giving customers the machine to choose what they want to tip (keep in mind this is about takeout orders).
We happened to notice this problem because we got paper invoice this time, otherwise we won't be aware because we just simply tap the machine. We will still support the shop but this tipping practice is disgusting, the owners need to address.
That being said, the coffee is so delicious (we ordered mocha). The barista is friendly & welcoming. The place is small, has a few tables so it's more suitable for take-out. Our experience is pleasant most of the time.
