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.
I absolutely love everything from Café Olimpico! They have amazing quality coffee for reasonable prices & the staff is always so nice & welcoming. I got a cappuccino with my mom & as coffee lovers, we appreciated the time spent making the drink.
I would 100% recommend & I will be coming here every time I come to the city.
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 🤷?♂?

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.
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... :-))
Café Olimpico in Westmount is a great spot if you're looking for strong coffee & a cozy atmosphere. The espresso is consistently rich & bold, & you can tell they put care into the quality of their drinks. The staff are friendly & welcoming, which adds to the charm, & the café has a lively, European feel that makes it a nice place to catch up with friends or just enjoy a quick coffee break.
The space itself is warm & inviting, though it can get quite busy at times, which makes seating a little tricky during peak hours. Prices are fair for the quality, but expect a bit of a line during rush periods.
Overall, it's a spot worth visiting in Westmount if you enjoy authentic coffee & a vibrant café vibe.
I usually go to the one at the old port, so it was my fist time at the westmount one. & the service was just as great , the quality of the products was super fresh. Their coffee & their apple caramel cheesecake, their tiramisu as well was 🤩🤩 delicious . Definitely still in my top 5 coffee place🤗
It's truly the most atmospheric place ✨ - a spot where everyone can feel at home 🏡. The staff is always incredibly welcoming & kind ☕?❤?. I have not regretted for a second that I decided to visit it for the first time, because now not a day goes by without a coffee & a pleasant conversation there ☀?. I've never tried coffee this good before - Olympico showed me what true quality means 👌🏼. It has become my absolute favorite place 🫶
