Sean & Leo gave us personable & stellar service, patient & attentive to our family. We were very impressed with their attentiveness to all guests. We were visiting Montreal from Kentucky & are definitely getting coffee at Olimpico the next time we are in town.

Good coffee , nice place ( Myriade has slightly better taste in a latte or capp, but taste is subjective ;) )
BTW 18% tip as a minimum on the terminal is really what made me lower the score -> sorry but you're just servicing coffee at the counter . All in all it is a nice place just don't feel obliged to tip 18 %, & choose the amount instead ;)

Employees are very nice. Music was too loud, which made people speak louder.

If you are from the usa then you will definitely find the portions to be extremely small. Even comparatively to other local cafés.

Perso, I did get extremely nauseous & my stomach hurt for the rest of the day because I got cow milk instead of oat for my latte.

The caffe crema does taste good & it is extremely small for a small, however perso a bigger portion would have been too much

The oat latte was great after the wrong one. 🫶🏻

It is a beautiful spot! & the snacks are good. I think i prefer the miles end olympico though.

I do think its whack to have %18 be your minimum tip ( im a generous tipper at times, but lol girl.. i still gave %18 tip but lowkey annoyed considering i got the wrong milk 😭 )

Anyway ! Still a good café.

Also where are the restrooms?? 💔

J'ai beaucoup apprécié le café, qui était excellent & bien préparé. En revanche, j'ai été déçue par les viennoiseries, qui n'étaient pas du tout à la hauteur de mes attentes. J'espère qu'elles seront améliorées, car le café mérite vraiment d'être accompagné de produits de meilleure qualité.

Always always excellent lattes. Super friendly staff & such jovial atmosphere. This is one of my favourite cafés to go to.

A heads-up that when busy, this location is not the type of coffee shop where you would sit down & hangout at (they sometimes even discourage it), so not much for atmosphere there. This doesn't bother me though since that's just how they marketed their shop (as a quick stop). They don't even sell hot dishes, mostly just small'grab & go' pastries.

The main reason why I gave it a lower score is because the coffee, although good, felt overpriced (a small latte was $4).

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!

Went there to grab a latte. Nice & attentive service even if there was some people in the line (as usual in Olimpico, but way less than the ones in the city center)

Tout ferme tellement tôt à Montréal ! On devrait accorder un crédit d'impôt pour des endroits comme Olympico qui offrent une alternative à toutes celles & ceux qui n'ont pas nécessairement envie de passer leur fin de soirée devant leur télé mais plutôt l'envie de voir du monde. Latté imbattable. Service essentiel.
