Ce Café Olimpico est un incontournable prisé de Montréal, connu pour un espresso puissant, un tiramisu riche et une large sélection de pâtisseries italiennes, avec un personnel chaleureux et serviable; l'espace est petit et souvent bondé, ce qui favorise les commandes à emporter, mais l'ambiance reste vivante et authentique; si la qualité des cafés et desserts est largement valorisée et que certains considèrent cet endroit comme l'un des meilleurs de la ville, quelques avis signalent des incohérences occasionnelles et une place assise limitée ainsi que des pourboires automatiques sur les commandes à emporter sans choix donné au client; l'énergie animée et la convivialité attirent locaux et visiteurs, malgré parfois des files d'attente, et le tout demeure une expérience chaleureuse et mémorable.
Très mauvaise expérience aujourd'hui au Café Olimpico du centre-ville. J'ai commandé & payé deux cafés Remix (environ 24 $ avec 18 % de pourboire) par carte à la caisse. Après être sortie pour aller à ma voiture, un employé est sorti en courant dans la rue en m'accusant publiquement d'être partie sans payer.
C'était extrêmement humiliant & insultant, surtout considérant que le paiement avait bel & bien été effectué. Une simple vérification entre employés aurait évité cette situation. Être traitée comme une voleuse devant tout le monde alors qu'on est une cliente normale est inacceptable.
Très déçue du manque de professionnalisme & de respect.
It was a really nice, warm & sunny Saturday so the line stretched all the way to the door. However the line moved fast so I didn't mind the wait. While I liked the ambiance inside, the cafe is quite small & tight. There were a few tables to sit for a few people but there was no space to move & stroll about in the cafe... all that space was filled with people in a serpentine line. Usually people go outside of the cafe to chill but if the weather isn't cooperating, it's hard to enjoy your drink indoors.
Nevertheless, the service was fast & professional. The staff were very friendly & helpful.
I ordered a cafe freddo, black & I enjoyed it quite a lot. I decided not to add any milk just to enjoy the texture of the espresso & ice.
Overall, a really nice authentic Italian café in the heart of downtown Montreal!

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.
Loveee the cafe crema , the gelato is also very good
Great location
The only downside is the size of the café, there isn't really a lot of space to eat & the wait can be long
Amazing café with very friendly & attentive staff. The coffee was excellent, & I absolutely loved the tiramisu. Great atmosphere & service. Highly recommended, I will definitely come back!

Espace quelque peu exigu mais chaleureux. Je note le'Bonjour' du barista dès l'entrée. Bien qu'occupé, le service est attentionné & sympathique. Le café, typique italien, atteint la cible.
I ordered an iced americano & chocolate chip banana bread & my girlfriend ordered the latte freddo & a nutella pastry (not entirely sure what this was). While we were eating, they brought out the cannolis & these are definitely a must try!
The cafe was quite snug but we were able to find a table & enjoy our breakfast inside the shop
Le goût de café est bon , mais l'endroit est vraiment trop serré pour rester sur place. Le service laisse à désirer 👎👎👎
Le barista préparait ma commande en jasant avec des clients au lieu de se concentrer. J'ai demandé un espresso simple allongé & on m'a servi un court.
I don't usually say this, but you can literally close your eyes & pick anything - it'll taste amazing. High-quality pastries that somehow taste better than anything I've had in Italy or NYC. Now I know Montréal has a real gem. 💎
I've tried several kinds of coffee here; all were great, but my top recommendations are the caffè crema & the cortado.
The staff is also wonderful - warm, attentive, & genuinely welcoming.
Overall, this café is a true work of art. Absolutely beautiful.
I've been to the Mile End location of this cafe, but I was downtown so I thought I'd check out this location. It was slightly underground & a little smaller, but very quaint. I ordered the Latte Freddo iced & it was a very delicious & smooth iced coffee. Whenever I'm in Montreal I do make it a point to visit this place as it is one of my favorite coffee shops in the city! They also sell Italian pastries which I have tried before at the other location. Also very good! There's a reason there's several locations of this place, it means they are doing well. Highly recommend for good coffee in Montreal!
