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 🤷?♂?

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!
I dropped by for the first time last week to have a char with a friend. The place is easily accessible & when entering you immediately have the super vibe, gorgeous bar & bench bistro chairs, Very comfy, very snug, lots of regular patrons by the look if it. I once had a bad experience (rapid heart beat for hours) after visiting a'really good barista in Toronto) so i've been wary of'good barista's since' so I asked for their'worst coffee' (I used a curse word). The guy who served me was a wee but surprised but looked like he had a good sense of humour. He served me a gorgeous looking, deep brown with a hint of creamy top Americano…. & it was to die for. Hands down best coffee I've hd in years. Thanks. Will be back (& fyi the cookies are great too)z
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.
had a wonderful experience at Café Olimpico! The atmosphere was absolutely astonishing-full of great vibes & local charm. The two guys working there were incredibly helpful & kind, making me feel genuinely welcome. A lovely lady suggested that I try a'remix' This is how she named it I think, & one of the guys recommended to us a cheesecake with apple-both were absolutely delicious! Thank you guys, we will definitely come back

This spot nails it-great coffee, even better vibes. The cappuccinos hit just right, & the people behind the counter are genuinely the nicest coolest people I've ever met. Definitely adding it to the regular rotation.
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!

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
Not listed on the menu - excellent hospitality! The vibe, the service & Shawn, yes Shawn, the man behind the counter who made ours & everyone's experience great. Thanks for making us feel welcome!
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
New Cafe Olimpico, same football vibes. Big fan of how they always integrate their football heritage in the cafe. Went once when it just opened, & will definitely return for future meetings or hangs with football friends.
🤔☕️ 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.
