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.
Best coffee in town hands down … everyone knows this, duhh
But the westmount location is my absolute favourite for a few reasons
1. Beautiful neighborhood & beautiful people
2. Walking distance to lots of great shopping & metro
3. Antonino works here all week (pictured below) & he's dreamy
Also the cannolis are fantastico
Also did I mention the coffee is the best? ☕?

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!
Before reaching why I gave them 2 star, let's talk about what was good.
To be fare, their coffee taste was very good. I also took 2 pastries, both were perfect & delicious. So, nothing is wrong about what they have.
The issue is there is a sign on the door that says don't bring your dogs inside.
I'm afraid of dogs, & more than that, I don't like to have animals in the restaurant & coffee shops were I'm eating.
But during the time I was there, several people with dogs (including very big one) come & go & I should change my seat several times to avoid those dogs jump on me
The employees did not care when I showed my sadness about this issue.
So either remove that sign from the door (which was the reason I selected this coffee shop to go inside) or if you have that sign, respect it yourself.
Coming from BC we wanted to experience authentic coffee in Westmount (Montreal) & found this AMAZING coffee shop. I feel like I found family here - the engagement of the baristas is heartwarming & the coffee is so good - it will be remembered.

I came from Toronto to visit my family & have found my new favourite coffee shop in Westmount. Sean & Julien were friendly, attentive & efficient. They are the epitome of customer service. The place is packed yet the line moves quickly & it never feels like you are waiting-probably because the "vibe" is fantastic. I highly recommend anyone in Westmount who is looking for their new coffee shop to give these guys a shot!
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

🤔☕️ 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.
