Café Olimpico is widely regarded as a premier destination in Montreal, celebrated for its authentic Italian-style coffee, particularly the lattes, affogatos, and the popular specialty drink known as the remix. While the establishment is frequently praised for its lively, European-inspired atmosphere, professional and welcoming staff, and charming decor, many visitors note that the popularity of these locations often results in crowded conditions and limited seating. Although opinions on food items like pastries and sandwiches vary, the general consensus highlights a consistently high-quality coffee experience and a vibrant neighborhood vibe that keeps locals and travelers returning despite the busy environment.
Stopped by here to grab a quick breakfast to go - got a croissant with turkey & cheese (forgot the exact kind of cheese) & it was delicious! My eyes went big at first bite 😳
I got curious what their slushy machines were making so I asked the barista - he said it wascafe crema. I asked for a small order to try - big mistake as it was soooooo divine!!! Loved it so much that I went back later afternoon & grabbed a bigger one lol
Hope to be able to go back & try some more of their drinks 💕
I lived a few blocks from the original location back in the 90s. Almost all my weekends started off with a Saint-Viateur bagel & a coffee from Open da Night. Then I moved away & decades passed. I was back at the Westmount location today after many years since my last visit. I was really happy to find the coffee is still the same & as great as ever! As I told the barista, the Olimpico latte is as good as the best coffees in Europe!
I used to come here late at night close to closing time & chat up with the baristas. They were really good to talk too & friendly. The location is pretty quiet & it's a really good place to have a seat & stay awhile; especially if you like to draw or read.
I found this place because a game store moved close by & after wandering for a bit one night I found this place. I ended frequenting this place regularly, to the point where alot of the baristas knew my name & face; & they would know my usual order of a mocha as well.

I really love this coffee place ❤?☕? If there's one thing I'm truly going to miss about Montréal, it's the two baristas working Saturdays at Café Olimpico Westmount. Their vibes & energy are so good that, honestly, you almost don't even need the coffee anymore 😉✨ They're friendly, upbeat, & make the whole place feel alive.
That said… let's talk coffee 😅
The atmosphere? 🔥 Cozy, lively, & perfect for hanging out.
The Americano? 🤏💸 Way too small for the price. Seriously, blink & it's gone.
Taste & quality? 😬 Not bad, but definitely not amazing - I'd give it a solid 4/10.
So yeah, I go there more for the people & the vibes than the coffee itself ☕?➡?😎
Great energy, great atmosphere, but if we're judging purely on taste & value… the coffee doesn't quite live up to the hype 🤷?♂?
Terrible experience there! Last time I am ever going there. The barista Alessandro Bitetti wouldn't stop harassing me & kept being a pervert towards me when I just wanted to order some coffee. Shame on you Cafe Olimpico for having him work there!
I just love this coffee place so much! If there's one thing I'm going miss about Montréal, it's the two baristas working on saturdays at Café Olimpico Westmount. They give such good vibes & energy that you almost don't need to order the coffee anymore;) Plus, a little bonus, the coffee happens to be delicious!
I've been going to this location from the day they opened & every visit has been genuinely wonderful.
The baristas here are consistently welcoming, patient, & so professional even when the cafe is packed. They manage the flow with ease, always with kindness & a smile. You can tell they truly care about the experience of every single customer.
The manager deserves a special mention as well. Every time we come in, he's present, attentive, & incredibly professional. You can really feel his positive influence in how smoothly the team works & how welcoming the environment is. He sets the tone, & it shows!
Even during busy times, the line moves steadily & the staff stays friendly & composed. The energy is already great, & we always leave feeling appreciated & well taken care of. No where else I'd rather get my daily morning coffee!!!
I dropped by for the first time last week to have a char with a friend. The place is easily accessible & when entering you immediately have the super vibe, gorgeous bar & bench bistro chairs, Very comfy, very snug, lots of regular patrons by the look if it. I once had a bad experience (rapid heart beat for hours) after visiting a'really good barista in Toronto) so i've been wary of'good barista's since' so I asked for their'worst coffee' (I used a curse word). The guy who served me was a wee but surprised but looked like he had a good sense of humour. He served me a gorgeous looking, deep brown with a hint of creamy top Americano…. & it was to die for. Hands down best coffee I've hd in years. Thanks. Will be back (& fyi the cookies are great too)z
