Reviews consistently highlight Café Olimpico for bold, high quality coffee, authentic Italian energy, and a welcoming, bustling vibe that makes it feel like a neighborhood gathering spot. The pastry and sandwich offerings, especially tiramisu, pistachio treats, and mortadella sandwiches, are frequently praised, while the coffee itself is described as standout and reliable across locations. Staff are described as friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, contributing to a warm atmosphere even in busy times, though seating can be tight and lines can get long during peak hours. Some guests mention price points and occasional service quirks, and a few note issues like flies or changes to dog policies. The Westmount branch is repeatedly praised for atmosphere and a terrace in good weather, and the overall impression across branches is that the cafe delivers strong coffee and a lively, inviting environment that draws regulars and first timers alike.
Nico makes a damn good coffee. Atmosphere & personal are super duper. Happy to have several Olimpico locations around town - very Montreal & the expansion didn't hurt the vibe at all.

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 🤷?♂?
Try coffee & the Heavenly copy. Stay away from tiramisus, it's nice dessert but far to be tasted a real tiramisu. At the end, it's a great coffee place.
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!

Friendly staff, cosy atmosphere, decent coffee, but terrible croissants. The croissants from the grocery store are better, fresher, cheaper & a higher quality for the price. Try their lemon cake instead.
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!

By far my favourite Olimpico location. The staff is incredibly friendly, makes great coffees too. The shop is often crowded, But it makes the charm of this location. After coming often for quite some times, the staff knows my order every-time i visit!
A friendly place for locals. Westmount locals ;)
As far as the food is concerned, it's less than average, practically nothing. Bag teas, so-so coffee, & surprisingly miserable desserts...
No napkins with your order.
But the ambience is nice, it's in'old Italian' style; &, being not spoiled by quality businesses in the area, people still come here in crowds (discussing businesses & feeling selected... :-))
