Café Olimpico is repeatedly praised for stellar coffee and a lively, authentic Italian vibe that makes it feel like a neighborhood hub, with locations including Westmount and Mile End offering a cozy, bustling atmosphere, warm service and a sense of community that keeps customers coming back for lattes, cappuccinos and a range of pastries from lemon cake to tiramisu; while some opinions note crowded spaces and occasional price concerns or small Americanos, the overall takeaway is a dependable, welcoming spot to relax, meet friends or study, with a strong pastry selection, a terrace in warmer months and a steady flow of regulars who value the friendly staff and consistent quality.
Visiting this cozy classic Cafe in a foggy late December morning was such a mesmerizing experience. Sean & Sabby are absolutely coffee wizards! The vibe, atmosphere & decoration, along with Italian coffee aroma made the day to remember. A Big Thank You from Heli & Simon Season's Greetings
My new favourite spot for coffee, delicious food, & refreshingly pleasant staff who genuinely seem to enjoy the work they're doing, which adds so much to the experience. It has quickly become a regular stop for me while out & about or walking home from the metro.
Today, I went to Café Olimpico Westmount which I usually go every weekend. They are generally polite & pleasant, but today their behavior was very inappropriate. I had asked them to put the pastries in a large box & specifically emphasized that I didn't want a small box. They slyly agreed but ended up doing what they wanted anyway. In the end, they simply said, "It is what it is." Even if you have the best pastries & coffee in the world, without proper & responsible service, you'll fail in the business. Aujourd'hui, comme chaque week-end, je suis allée au Café Olimpico Westmount. D'habitude, ils sont polis & accueillants, mais aujourd'hui, leur comportement a été très inapproprié. Je leur avais demandé de mettre les pâtisseries dans une grande boîte, en insistant sur le fait que je ne voulais pas de petite boîte. Ils ont sournoisement dit "d'accord" mais ont fait à leur guise. À la fin, ils ont simplement dit : "C'est comme ça." Même si vous avez les meilleures pâtisseries & café du monde, sans un service correct & responsable, vous êtes voués à l'échec.
It's a must visit cafe, every thing is delicious starting by the selection of good quality coffee into the sandwiches, & desserts. Very cosy place, & finally the staff are very pleasant, polite & professional
Delicious coffee always. Thank you. Very good atmosphere, like you are more happy, very positive. Thank you Sebastian, cookies are also very tasty. Delicious.
My new favourite coffee shop! Love this place, already a big fan of Olimpico coffee so I was thrilled to find one close to home in Westmount. Julien was warm & friendly on our first visit on our second Sean & Elijah were so kind as well & also gave us attentive & great service. The coffees were delicious & a great selection of desserts. I love the decor, vibe & music they play. They were kind enough to let me know that they have a playlist on Spotify titled: Olimpico Westmount. It's an endless compilation of music that will transport you to a happy place! Thank you!! Joanne

The food, coffee, decor & staff are amazing. I have been many times & its always consistently good. The only downside - which is not the fault of the cafe - is that it is always very busy & you may not always find a seat because it is a pretty small space. The clientele here can be pushy at times & not respectful of the small space.
🤔☕️ So Olimpico has expanded from its historic St-Viateur spot, bringing much-needed hip, authentic Italian coffee shop vibes from the Plateau to the tony yuppies & snow-birding Anglo fussmongers of Westmount. Nicely designed & decorated, with rich green leather upholstery & dark paneled wood that feels nearly sexy. I can see this being a spot where the Westmount Joneses drop by to feel seen. & you can't beat the coffee. The staff are attentive & efficient, the baked goods & sandwiches are high-quality, & it offers a nice, earthy, European counterpoint to the black t-shirts & forever-young, organic-faux-artisanal 🙄 LA vibes of James Perse just a block away.

I've been a loyal fan of Café Olimpico for years, enjoying their incredible coffee in the Old Port. I'm thrilled to see their beautiful new location in Westmount, just a stone's throw from where I work! The café itself is stunning, & the coffee is as delicious as ever. The atmosphere is inviting, & the staff is amazing-always friendly & attentive. I couldn't be happier to have such a fantastic spot nearby. Thank you, Café Olimpico, for consistently providing such a wonderful experience!
